When Todd pointed out that the antiabortion activists who made the videos admit that what Fiorina saw was stock footage, she ignored him: Chuck, Chuck, Chuck, Chuck, Chuck. Do you think this is not happening?
There is it. This last sentence.
Carly Fiorina doesn't need the video and is unfazed by the thought that the video does or doesn't exist.
Why? Because the video only shows what she knew all along.
What, the video doesn't exist? Doesn't matter, she has her conclusion and doesn't need no stinkin' video as evidence to lead her to that conclusion. Because she knows it, she just knows it.

I recently read an article where the Republicans were scolded for being "post-evidence nihilists". I think, the term fits.

They are commonly known as morons.

(16,423 posts)Two sides are arguing that the Bible really supports their position and not the position of the others.
So what do the scholars do? Instead of searching for any evidence, they search Bible-quotes that support their own position.
Each side is only searching for quotes that support their own position.
They are not trying to disprove the opponent's position! They are trying to build up a mountain of evidence so big, that it will force the opponents to concede defeat. (And we know how believers react to evidence...)

(10,270 posts)OK Carly, if this is the hill you want the Party to die on, then I for one am HAPPY to have you advance. The Majority is NOT on your side, and i'm pretty sure that Democrats would be OVERJOYED to publicly fund your little pregnancy clinic in South Carolina (provided, of course, that any mention of what God wants done is left at the door...and something tells me that ain't at all the case, but that's another ass-kicking for another time).
Carly if you're CONVINCED that tax dollars fund ABORTION SPECIFICALLY (they dont) then I dare you to go ahead and charge up that hill.
Carly if you're CONVINCED that the media has a 'liberal bias', will never allow the real facts to come out, and will NEVER give your side a fair hearing, THEN I DARE YOU TO ADVOCATE FOR THE RE-INSTATEMENT OF THE FAIRNESS DOCTRINE. (yeah, I know, ideas are hard aren't they?)
God I'm so tired of bitchy, whiny, having-yourselves-a-sad because 'but governing is hard and stuff' Conservatives doing nothing but complaining how it's not fair and Democrats are oh-so-mean-to-us because Union-funded-Democrat-campaings and wahtever whatever. If THAT'S the case, back Public-Funding of all Federal Elections or shut the fuck up. And as far as Democrats just dont respect you...well, no. Not so much when John Boehner had one job to do, ONE FUCKING JOB (to count to 218) and somehow managed to fail at it for how many damn years??? If you want respect, probably its time you started to EARN IT (you know, work hard, pull yourself by your own bootstraps, nobody GAVE ME anything and all that Good Jazz. But since that's the biggest Republican Lie of all of them, I won't hold my fucking breath.).
Carly Fiorina is Sarah Palin with a communications software upgrade. It ain't word salad, but it still isn't going to pass muster with anyone who can think beyond 8th-grade math, science, and literature.
And as for Chuck Todd, well, how dare he call himself a Journalist. Not one bit of that interview deserved less than a complete verbal and intellectual Ass-kicking, and he just sat there. Oh, he made enough of an effort that he won't get fired for sure, but any more than that would (I guess) be tantamount to 'see how unfairly the liburl mee-D-uh treets uz?'
Can't have that, now can we Chuck???
