You have a long history of doing this, Shemp. You don't get the benefit of the doubt, sorry. You just did it again with the HuffPo-Nazi business. You did it last week in a post that put all kinds of words in my mouth about Al Gore Sr. that I never said. If you're going to repeat what somebody else said, you just showed you're perfectly capable of looking it up and getting it right. But you didn't. You made up something that served your argument.
