And it certainly got a reaction.
If you weren't here promoting these videos like a useful idiot, then there is no reason to apologize. PkrBum was certainly touting these videos like a useful idiot. Markle was certainly touting these videos like a useful idiot. We can say the same for TEO and Joani as well. I'd ask Pace to stand corrected but he already ran from the forum entirely.
I'm simply asking them to acknowledge this. I'm simply asking the to be intellectually honest adults here and say "Yes, I was completely wrong on that one."
With that said, it's bad enough that these people I mention were so willing to accept the claims of the two videographers so easily and without any skepticism whatsoever. That is bad enough it its own right, and I would say that it points to the idea that these people are idiots. But I would go one further and say that these people are completely lacking in moral character and backbone as well. This story was stoked for a fair amount of time. It nearly lead to a government shutdown and it did in fact result in a mass shooting where people lost their lives. The videographers who produced the video, the republican members of congress who used it as a legislative weapon, and many of our very own forum republicans who defended it's legitimacy - even though they could not even explain why - are tacitly involved in those consequences. People are dead today because of the stupidity of a large percentage of the republican base. Would you agree with that?
This is the definition of a useful idiot:
In political jargon, useful idiot is a term for people perceived as propagandists for a cause whose goals they are not fully aware of, and who are used cynically by the leaders of the cause.
Now, keep that in mind as you read this exchange between PkrDumb and I on the subject of the Planned Parenthood videos shortly after they were released. Note that PkrBum can't even specifically tell me what it is that he takes offense to in the videos. Note that PkrBum doesn't even fully understand why he should be outraged by these videos. He has simply been told that he should be, and then he decided to tell others that they should be as well.

As long as the politician or program match your ideology and agendas they can literally do anything and it doesn't matter to you. The pretense that nothing happened is lame.

(The second time I've posted this in the one page of this thread.)
OK, so there is the full video. Specifically, what part do you have a problem with? What - specifically - is the source of the outrage?
Mainly the lies, deflections, excuses, denials, revision, and obfuscation. All for agenda driven political convenience.
It is what it is... own it.
Do you know what the term 'specifically' means?
Can you point out - specifically - whatever it is that you're outraged by in that video or can you not?
Needless to say, PkrDumb ran away from that one - just as he will from this one.
The PkrDumbs, Markles, Joanis, TEOs, and Pacedogs are a major liability to society. If this very story - the next in a long line of stories ala Birtherism, Benghazi, IRS, etc. - isn't indicative of that, I don't know what is.
