Hey man. I have no question you believe all this. But damn, brother. Conspire much?
Who am I conspiring with again? Or is this just another attempt at being cute with language you don't understand?

Lashing out and judging my comprehension is proving my point not countering, no? Yes?

I have yet to see you use the word as anything other than an inaccurate epithet, and I leave it to those who are not so sloppy or ignorant to be the judges of the correctness or incorrectness thereof.

Lashing out is my response to your tired repetition of incorrect and sloppy usage that you intend to be taken as a blanket insult.

Would you prefer that I use the word "parrot"? That may be a better description of my point. Would that help? When you repeat talking points one has heard from Maddow it feels like you are just part of the great propaganda brigade. Perhaps conspire is not the best word.

Interesting, since I don't watch Maddow. I mostly read articles written by a variety of people. I like David Brooks. Of course, no one accuses me of parroting him.

I will look for that video.

Your point that you don't watch Maddow - is my point. I am not measuring your screentime. How could I? I am comparing the arguments. You made my point.

No, making your point would consist of providing evidence that supports your argument. Since you only made an assertion, you did not "make your point."

Kish, are you offended that your comments are perfectly parallel to what one would get from Maddow, CNN or NPR? If not, what is the issue here? If so, do you contend that you are right and Maddow is wrong?

For clarity - I find your comments to be unoriginal and identical to liberal media talking points. My point, is that these are widespread and unoriginal and not universally credible and the same as yours. You can arrive at these conclusions without actually watching Maddow because it is a great collusion.

OK. So you claim! Since I know my views a helluva lot better than you do, I do not agree with you. As it is your assertion that my positions are "perfectly parallel" to these other sources, the burden is on you to prove that. The burden is not on me to prove you wrong. Our board standards for arguing with Mopologists don't just apply to Mormon apologetics.

In the interest of promoting peace and harmony, I hereby accuse you of parroting David Brooks. ;)
