Flap's Blog – FullosseousFlap's Dental Blog

Wasilla was the only city in Alaska that charged women for their rape kits at the time that the Alaska legislature passed the law that abolished that practice.

One side is lying about this issue, but it’s not the Democrats who are guilty of that.

What’s been thoroughly debunked and proven to be a lie are the denials you on the right keep tossing out in your attempts to avoid the truth of the matter, Flap.

You accusing anybody of babbling on this is laughable – what you falsely claim to be a case of her “addressing the issue head on” was really a case of her tapdancing around the question in order to avoid answering it. She said nothing of what she did as Mayor, instead tossing out what she’s done as Governor – this is evasion, not straight talk, and you ought to know that if you really paid attention when you read the text you quoted in this blog entry. But at least she (and you) are following Charles Durning’s excellent example from his tenure as Governor of Texas: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7mNDHTfdn1A

No outrage here, just amusement at your continued efforts at deflection away from the fact that you were and are mistaken on this issue.

The “evidence” you presented here – Palin’s answer to the questionnaire – does not say what you claim it says. That means that by claiming that her answer says something that it does not, you are either mistaken, or lying. There’s nothing here for me to get over … except, perhaps, the hope that the former of the two possibilities is the one that actually holds sway.

p.s. If the reference to the Terms of Use is some sort of oblique admission that you’re about to edit my comments or ban me, as you point out over there, it’s your blog, and you can do that. But performing the virtual equivalent of plugging your fingers in your ears and screaming “I’m not listening to you!” doesn’t change the truth that you’re trying to avoid. You’re still wrong on this, no matter how you try to frame the discussion otherwise.

Wasilla was the only city I found any record of charging victims for rape kits at the time the legislation was passed. I stand corrected on that.

So when will you get around to admitting that the answer you quoted doesn’t say what you claimed it did? Because your claim that she dealt with the question head on is still false.

That’s not a denial, it’s a sidestep. A denial would have actually occurred if she’d written “Wasilla never charged victims for rape kits”, which is not what she wrote. You’re right that a story has ended, but the story where that happens to be the case is the story you on the right keep trying to spread.

If we didn’t care about the facts, I wouldn’t have been pointing out to you the fact that the quote does not say what you keep falsely claiming it did. Not just sidestep yes, but several sidesteps yes, no matter how often you try to deny the truth of the matter.

I keep repeating the fact that the quote does not say what you claim it does because you keep repeating the same false claim about it. If you want to complain about the amount of noise relative to content, then you really need to stop generating so much of the former – especially if you don’t want to keep making it look like the second possibility mentioned in comment #10 is the only one that could possibly apply to your statements on this matter.
