Yeah. I found nothing therein to suggest to me that putting a word between quotation marks bears on the meaning or truth value of the word.

Ok. Well I said what I said bc I believe the warrantless access to US comms is a fair topic for oversight. You apparently think that's funny

No, but I think it's bad to use fallacious reasoning in service of even the noblest goal. "X is in quotes" does not bear on X's veracity.

I'm referring to a practice that was known to be happening. You are referring to something you have no reason to believe was. Great analogy!

You have have exactly as much reason to believe Paul was wiretapped by the Obama admin as I do to believe you are an incestuous unicorn.

Wrong analogy. Betrays you don't understand the underlying issue. I'll just assume you don't understand and leave it now.

A reduction to absurdity is not an analogy. You tried to defend Paul's lie by noting the quotes. I demonstrated the idiocy of that reasoning

Paul's "lie"? Again, you clearly don't understand the underlying issue or why asking abt scope of it is valid request.

Paul was wiretapped by the Obama admin: true or false? And, if true, why did you need to pretend the quotes alter the meaning of the word?

I'm not saying it isn't a valid request. I'm saying the word "wiretap" is a *lie* Paul is wormishly deploying for its Nixonian overtones.

Again, you honesty don't know what you're talking about. Bye.

So you keep trying to say. Perhaps with enough repetition it will tip over to become an actual argument. Adios!
