But quote B just reiterated what he said the first time. Tashmere Send a noteboard - 22/08/2010 04:13:21 PM
for reading something into it that wasn't there. I still don't see the problem.


that quote B was in response to the reaction, from his own party, to quote A.


It is still on them. If they want to be paranoid and dense that is their choice. It is their constitutional right to practice their paranoia in any way they wish. Who am I to protest? But it is my right to think they are being nutbars over it.

Once again, listen to the Economist and don't use abbreviations that aren't obvious. Tom - 20/08/2010 06:38:08 PM 775 Views
That abbreviation was obvious and all over the place at the time the incident happened. Legolas - 20/08/2010 07:59:08 PM 810 Views
I certainly don't remember seeing it anywhere. The abbreviation was unnecessary in any event. Tom - 20/08/2010 10:43:05 PM 736 Views
Sure, I could've done that, if I had realized it would puzzle people. I did not. *NM* Legolas - 20/08/2010 10:59:42 PM 484 Views

We've been through this, too, haven't we? Joel - 20/08/2010 10:12:15 AM 990 Views
He makes historical references as often as possible, or at least in pretty much everything I've seen snoopcester - 20/08/2010 12:37:02 PM 827 Views
As he was a history professor and writes histories and alternate histories, this is not surprising Isaac - 20/08/2010 05:33:48 PM 999 Views

Conservatives love Rome. I don't know why. Ghavrel - 21/08/2010 01:20:27 AM 805 Views
Rome was more often than not governed by aristocrats and did, after all, invent the republic. Joel - 21/08/2010 04:50:53 PM 1133 Views
"One man, one vote" always reminds me of Pratchett Floffe - 21/08/2010 05:03:35 PM 780 Views
Mmm, that seems to be how Romes patricians dealt with it, too. Joel - 21/08/2010 05:09:09 PM 786 Views
Me too *NM* Camilla - 21/08/2010 06:53:22 PM 489 Views
He did come up with a great plan to take over Congress in 1994. Tom - 20/08/2010 06:39:12 PM 782 Views
Except there doesn't seem to be any conflict between either position. Joel - 20/08/2010 10:06:20 AM 945 Views
When has logical consistency trumped politics? *NM* Macharius - 20/08/2010 01:50:55 PM 396 Views
True, but it does mean there's no "there" there. Joel - 20/08/2010 02:41:49 PM 764 Views

Ask and ye shall receive: Joel - 21/08/2010 06:42:50 PM 1131 Views
This is a bit along the lines of what I have been thinking. nossy - 20/08/2010 07:49:15 PM 979 Views
that sort of illustrates the problem random thoughts - 20/08/2010 08:56:42 PM 825 Views

Can't find anything now on the context of the second statement. Joel - 21/08/2010 05:05:51 PM 867 Views
I didn't see the problem either. He was simply stating the obvious. Tashmere - 21/08/2010 01:39:44 AM 715 Views

Then restating it for those who refused to hear it, so that someone else could refuse to hear it. Joel - 21/08/2010 04:22:30 PM 985 Views
Wow that is probably the best Dowd column I have ever read Roland00 - 21/08/2010 01:35:36 AM 742 Views
Yes, his backtracking was quite pussy-ish. *NM* everynametaken - 21/08/2010 04:00:31 AM 354 Views
How did he "backtrack" exactly? Joel - 21/08/2010 04:35:33 PM 1024 Views
c'mon Joel. are you being intentionally thick? damookster - 21/08/2010 05:02:27 PM 1042 Views
Having read those quotes I don't think he was backtracking on anything. (With link to speech) Tashmere - 22/08/2010 06:27:06 AM 997 Views
*NM* Avendesora - 22/08/2010 01:37:23 PM 394 Views
did you take into your consideration damookster - 22/08/2010 03:50:59 PM 738 Views
I can't imagine why they would express concern over it. It wasn't controversial. That is on them Tashmere - 22/08/2010 03:58:32 PM 934 Views
that would be damookster - 22/08/2010 04:02:08 PM 1024 Views
But quote B just reiterated what he said the first time. Tashmere - 22/08/2010 04:13:21 PM 856 Views
I agree he is not backtracking random thoughts - 22/08/2010 06:49:36 PM 842 Views
I agree with you, Joel and Tash on this one. TaskmasterJack - 22/08/2010 07:52:34 PM 914 Views

Seems I interpret his speech on the iftar differently from you and Tash - see my reply to Tash. *NM* Legolas - 22/08/2010 09:25:13 PM 498 Views
Saw it, and yes, I believe we disagree. nossy - 22/08/2010 09:29:31 PM 749 Views
he could have and should have stayed out random thoughts - 22/08/2010 09:57:57 PM 868 Views

That last line was golden. *NM* Ghavrel - 22/08/2010 05:40:56 AM 448 Views
His phrasing in the first speech implied that it was a bad idea. But legally they have the right. Tashmere - 22/08/2010 06:32:59 AM 962 Views
nonsense damookster - 22/08/2010 03:39:30 PM 908 Views
I still don't see how it can be misinterpreted except by intent by the listener. Tashmere - 22/08/2010 04:08:52 PM 881 Views

Or there is another option: 3) He was using tact. Tashmere - 22/08/2010 09:01:49 PM 901 Views
I really have to disagree with your interpretation of that first speech. Legolas - 22/08/2010 09:22:32 PM 1166 Views
