We are dying to know!

Attention all readers of this thread: Here's what has actually transpired. All you have to do is read the record -- that is, the existing posts -- to see what TracyCoxx has done.

First, TracyCoxx posted the link to the video. I wrote:

In an electoral environment where people have claimed a legitimate place in the political arena while carrying signs of Obama made to look like Adolph Hitler, and even comparing him to Hitler, this kind of thing ... even in jest ... is absolutely disgusting and without merit. ...

I ask you, Tracy Coxx, do you repudiate all of your ideological cothinkers on so many issues who have made such comparisons?

I never accused TracyCoxx of making the comparison.

TracyCoxx posted no response to my direct question. Instead, TracyCoxx posted:

The joke obviously wasn't meant for you then.

When I asked the question again, tslust asked me if I similarly repudiated all liberals who compared Bush to Hitler? I did, unequivocally. In response, tslust posted: "Thanks enough said."

Then TracyCoxx twisted the thread into being about me accusing TracyCoxx of making the comparison, which I never did. All I did was raise a question about the comparison in the context of the GOP -- a question legitimate to the thread.

The record is there for all to see.

Oh, by the way, TracyCoxx has never answered the question I originally posed.
