So, You decided to follow after JoaniMaroni's made up quote from Shakespeare yesterday and make up one from Thomas Jefferson. There is no evidence whatever that Thomas Jefferson ever made the quote you posted about democracy being nothing but mob rule. Jefferson experts at Monticello deny he ever said it. Here's an actual link to their site where it is discussed.  Do any of you Republicans ever post quotes that are actually from the person you claim they are from?

http://www.monticello.org/site/jefferson/democracy-nothing-more-mob-rule

The earliest known occurrence in print of that quote was in 2004. Jefferson was a great man, but he didn't say much of anything in 2004.


Maroni admitted she just made her quote  up. How about you?
You obviously weren't quoting Yogi Berra.

In some circles they call this kind of thing lying.

In progressive circles we call this kind of thing typical Republicanism.
It's why your party is dying.  The truth ain't in you.

I think I've said enough on the subject already. As I said, I don't mind being accused of being a liar   by someone who has been proven to be one already today.
As far as a 60 some odd year old man still  needing to be "punished" for a plagiarized term paper he wrote 40 years ago, that's such a ludicrous statement that it's comical.
Nobody in their right mind is still obsessing over something like that. Anyone in their right mind knows it's not a real issue anymore.  But then again,  I did say "in their right mind."


Not everyone on this forum fits that description.
And ain't nobody going to think a lie told today or yesterday is justified by someone else telling one 40 years ago.
But keep on trying.
I enjoy reading your pitiful, desperate attempts.

Y'all amuse me.

The mercury just exploded through the top of the BS-o-meter.  So let me get this straight, Damaged Eagle.  Rather than be a reasonable person and concede that the quotes that you posted are not actually from Jefferson; rather than absorb new information and actually learn something, you would rather double down on stupid?  Now your argument is that you weren't actually intending for anyone to believe that the quotes that you posted were made by Jefferson?  You were just posting quotes from some anonymous author and Jefferson's picture just happened to be behind the quotes?

By a show of hands, who actually believes this BS?  Who actually believes that the following...


...is not presented as if it is meant to state that Jefferson made this quote?



But here is the most funny part of your post...

Yes, Damaged Eagle!  You are totally owning me right now!  You posted several completely made up quotes and attributed them to Jefferson, and then I pointed this out.  Damn you completely owned me there!  Why do I do this to myself?!?!?

Damaged Eagle wrote:I see... You can't verify one quote one way or the other which makes all of them made up.

It isn't my burden to prove that your BS quotes were made by Jefferson.  You presented the quotes.  You attributed the quotes to Jefferson.  Unless you have some evidence that would suggest Jefferson ever made those quotes...well...

I'm sort of amazed that I have to explain this concept to you.  I even wonder if you grasp the concept at all.

Nope.  You don't get it.  Good luck with that.

I like this quote...found on the same Thomas Jefferson quotes website as the quote by DE.

If it can't be confirmed, no biggie. I still like the quote.
