That is argument via ad hominem. It is not gish gallop, it is a receipt-filled, documented refutation of your claims. nt Celerity Thursday #81

Yes.. I saw one yesterday and Disagreed Strongly! Cha Thursday #45

That post was disgusting. nt LexVegas Thursday #9

What a bizarre post. yardwork Thursday #51

Jeebus. AloeVera Thursday #74

.... MarineCombatEngineer Thursday #76

It sure is. AloeVera Thursday #86

And you've been doing your darndest to deflect or hijack the thread instead of staying on the OP's MarineCombatEngineer Thursday #88

Looked to me TommyT139 Thursday #108

That poster says that the WaPo article was "poorly fact checked." yardwork Friday #144

I also went to the sponsoring org sites TommyT139 Friday #165

Do you much about diplomacy? yardwork Friday #174

Have a wonderful weekend. TommyT139 Friday #176

Seems like there are a few folks here deeply invested in scoffing lapucelle Friday #189

Yes. I saw all that too. yardwork Yesterday #191

It's so weird that the poster who insisted that it was a Jewish cultural event -- lapucelle Yesterday #192

It looks like some folks didn't bother to do the homework before issuing dismissive pronouncements. lapucelle Friday #188

Orwellian.... 58Sunliner Thursday #102

Having read thru your posts at this thread, I can see that you are concerned. Very, very concerned. Hekate Thursday #75

I suggest you watch Nicole Wallace's 1st segment mcar Thursday #65

I can pretty much guarantee that it won't. MarineCombatEngineer Thursday #78

I know mcar Thursday #85

You make it sound like charitable work and fostering unity and celebrating Jewish heritage are mutually exclusive. Beastly Boy Thursday #73

So the truth is that the murderer was at a Jewish event to hunt Jews. lapucelle Thursday #109

Of course that's the obvious retort. AloeVera Thursday #114

Yes, the truth is pretty obvious: the Jew-hating murderer who bellowed "Free, free Palestine" lapucelle Thursday #116

The operative word is "Palestine". And "Gaza". AloeVera Thursday #122

The word you chose was operative to a Jew hater who killed two random Jews. Beastly Boy Friday #129

She really has outdid herself this time hasn't she. MarineCombatEngineer Friday #133

Yet there are Muslim States Mossfern Friday #126

This is a great question, mcar Friday #147

Yup Mossfern Friday #148

I think there's another reason for it mcar Friday #149

Maybe the "pro-Pal" movement should stop conflating Jewishness with Israel. yardwork Friday #139

A stickler for truth? MarineCombatEngineer Friday #132

More from the article, including the name of the speaker. yardwork Thursday #43

That's odd. Are we looking at the same article as in the o/p? AloeVera Thursday #46

That's the topic of this subthread. yardwork Thursday #47

The article has been updated. AloeVera Thursday #60

Like you, I prefer researching to truly understand and make my thoughts about something so close to my Nanjeanne Thursday #58

Thank you. AloeVera Thursday #61

It's easy to grasp. It's just that some people will twist into pretzels to ration out compassion for Nanjeanne Thursday #64

Are you talking about compassion for the two victims of this murder? yardwork Thursday #84

I am talking about compassion for all innocent victims including these two young victims. Nanjeanne Thursday #90

Not only removed, but PPR'd also, MarineCombatEngineer Thursday #92

You see compassion for these two Mossfern Thursday #99

Yes and I think buts are not necessary. In this thread or in the threads about the Gazans dying. Nanjeanne Thursday #113

I hear you Israeli Friday #138

Bless you. She was a force. As is Women for Peace. Nanjeanne Friday #140

Always a "but" mcar Thursday #96

Seems to me then that the murderer who shrieked "Free, free Palestine" is a Jew-hater lapucelle Thursday #110

Did you research who the keynote speakers at the event were? lapucelle Thursday #112

Sorry I didn't respond immediately. Ive had you on ignore for such a long time and only saw this Nanjeanne Thursday #115

So when someone logs out and then logs back in, they see responses from folks on their ignore list? N/T lapucelle Thursday #117

That had me ROFLing. OilemFirchen Thursday #121

Yes if you aren't signed in you can see everyone's response. Saw yours. Signed in and removed you from ignore Nanjeanne Friday #137

What I do know is that if someone is not logged in, there is no "My Posts" tab on the home page. lapucelle Friday #150

That is so true. Good for you. But you do know your own name and can recognize it when you read a thread Nanjeanne Friday #154

Did you know there was a response to you via the "bat signal" you wrote about? lapucelle Friday #161

God I love you. I'll never put you on ignore again. So entertaining! Nanjeanne Friday #162

I log in every time and the one DUer I have on ignore stays on ignore. yardwork Friday #141

I think you are still not understanding. If you aren't logged in NOONE can be on ignore since ignore is tied Nanjeanne Friday #151

I wasn't responding to you. yardwork Friday #153

Sorry! It's gotten so complicated I think I've landed in some alter universe. Nanjeanne Friday #156

Well, it doesn't have to be that complicated. yardwork Friday #175

My post about it getting complicated was about Ignore Lists, Signing Out, Seeing posts. It had Nanjeanne Friday #177

I just tried what you suggested, and you are correct, MarineCombatEngineer Friday #155

Whew never thought it was going to turn I to a thing! Nanjeanne Friday #157

LOL. MarineCombatEngineer Friday #159

And there is no "My Posts" tab if you're not logged. lapucelle Friday #152

If you're not logged in, MarineCombatEngineer Friday #160

Yes I know. But the poster wrote about some sort of "bat signal" that goes out lapucelle Friday #163

Ah, ok, I misunderstood your post. MarineCombatEngineer Friday #164

Uh reading the thread. You know your screen name Doncha? Nanjeanne Friday #166

Did a bat signal go out or did you take me off ignore? N/T lapucelle Friday #169

As I said I can't ignore you. You are so entertaining and make me laugh. We all need some of that! Nanjeanne Friday #170

He targeted the 2 people who were attending the event, MarineCombatEngineer Thursday #106

Quoting from wapo: AloeVera Thursday #107

So the argument is that he focused on a Jewish event at a Jewish museum, but it wasn't anti-Semitic attack lapucelle Thursday #118

He was targeting Zionism. AloeVera Thursday #124

He was definitely targeting specific people. Mosby Thursday #125

Then he is the lousiest shot I've ever seen. Beastly Boy Friday #127

Where did you read that the "Zionist state" made the Jew-hating murderer "lose his mind"? lapucelle Friday #168

But according to you, that article was "poorly fact checked." yardwork Friday #146

it's devastating Dorian Gray Thursday #23

It's a pretty simple decision, really. yardwork Thursday #25

Aim: destroy opportunity for dialogue and cooperation Bad Thoughts Thursday #49

That does seem to be the purpose of this assassination. yardwork Thursday #54

Reddit thinks the shooting was a false flag Bonx Thursday #53

Of course they do Richard D Thursday #55

And a majority are indifferent or support the murders Bonx Thursday #59

Not surprising in the least and there are those that will eat this up. MarineCombatEngineer Thursday #83

I saw one of the organizers of the event on MSNBC senseandsensibility Thursday #56

And just after the murders, people inside welcomed the killer without knowing he was the murderer and was concerned Solly Mack Thursday #68

True humanitarians mcar Thursday #98

They were trying to do good. That said, had Gazan aid never been stopped, they would be alive today or at least not Jit423 Thursday #91

And if HAMAs had stayed on their side of the border, MarineCombatEngineer Thursday #93

How hard can it be to just say this is tragic mcar Thursday #100

As hard as it is to say that the murderer was motivated by anti-Semitism. N/T lapucelle Thursday #119

The deaths of this couple is heartbreaking. madaboutharry Thursday #104
