"Liar Liar - Pants On Fire"...
From your own link;
Maybe he didn’t see the large “mostly false” at the top of his page?
I don't believe it was read by the seeder prior to posting based on past history
Based on that, I'd will be willing to concede that it's half-true, but it's still something worth talking about. The "mostly false" rating makes it seem like it never happened at all.
Not at all. It means that the story is mostly false, with an exception that makes it not a total lie. When it is totally false, it looks like this:
And when the story lying is just beyond the pale, they say this:
The exception being that some Caucuses did omit "under God." To call the story reporting those omissions mostly false is thus "mostly false"
Poltifact is simply a liberal Soros funded pundit offering an opinion. To pretend there's some objectivity behind the rankings is silly.
the other article posted on this did not claim the DNC did that.
It pointed out some Democrats who did omit it, however.
I stand by the article I seeded about the two occasions it was in fact left out during their debacle.
Your article said:
More importantly, IMO - why does it matter? Why are some folks so determined to be offended by a lack of a dishonest paying of lip service to a deity whose existence cannot be proven real?
Getting offended because somebody else won't say they believe in your (generic "your") god seems to me to be religious bigotry.
Umm. Because its the pledge of allegiance. Last time I looked, those are the words. It's not the pledge of allegiance to whatever suits the Democrats prejudices of the day.
The original Pledge did not contain those words. And the Pledge is to the flag, whether it contains those words or not, whether they are uttered by a Republican or a Democrat.
Or to counter, one could argue that the pledge "Under god" was a recent addition, and since we don't have an "official state religion", last time I checked, 2 Muslims don't have to say those words.
Sure, but under the American system the most recent statute is the law. No one claims that blacks should be counted as 3/5 of a person because the change to full citizenship was a "recent addition."
The actual Pledge does.
After being edited to suit conservative prejudices.
That is an amendment to the Constitution. The other has been argued in Constitutional law that it does not has to be said. Apples and pears. And for the record, I say "under god".
I will refer you to my post
