"Yes. President Trump is a huge embarrassment. And it’s an embarrassment to evangelical Christianity that there appear to be so many who will celebrate precisely the aspects that I see Biblically as most lamentable and embarrassing." Southern Baptist leader Albert Mohler Jr.

I recommend you do not try too hard and ...research as little as possible. Such weighty things give me a headache. - Shunyadragon, Baha'i apologist

Originally posted by One Bad Pig View PostThat might be logical, but you're being far too charitable."Yes. President Trump is a huge embarrassment.

Originally posted by Charles View PostI agree it is far too charitable. However it cannot be logical given the fact that Spicer said BOTH. If he had said combined it would have been completely different.

Originally posted by Sparko View Postwho cares? He was either wrong or misspoke. Is it the end of the world? Is the press secretary some sort of Pope of News or something?"Yes.

Originally posted by Charles View PostSo this is the question you ask when I have made it very clear why he was wrong. When MM claimed he was right you felt no need to ask "who cares?". Or am I misreading you?

Originally posted by Sparko View PostI am just wondering why this is such a big deal for you to keep arguing it. Let's say he was wrong and you are right. So what?
Personally I see a point in making people aware that they contradict basic logic in order to support someone. And when they call others "braindead" in that context I think it is ok to point to the fact that actually they themselves are making the false claim.
And back then Spicer could have just said he made an error. But he went on to blame the media for wanting to misrepresent him. That was also false, they actually took him by his word. Are you starting to see the point about why this matter in the whole "fake news" discussion? It's a rather good example of how the "alternative fact" approach also goes for "alternative logic" in order to make others appear as fake news or perhaps braindead (). It matters in that context, and I don't remember you stating that that discussion was not important."Yes. President Trump is a huge embarrassment.
