When you announce at the beginning that you are not something--well--you usually are that something.

I'm not anti-Muslim, I'm not Racist, I am not a bigot---

I find that when people start a conversation like this---9 out of 10 times, they're just that.

1. I'm not a witch. And I'm not a crook either.

[trumad]

5. Smart Ass!

12. Good one!

3. Or

perhaps they're just defending themselves from charges of being a hater, an Islamophobe because the fucking pc police think that the crusades excuse the violence being done in the name of religion today. Maybe that's it.

I'm not a troll----part two

Hi I'm trumad...been here just as long as Will Pitt. 11 plus years

I love Pitt---I've had many drinks with Pitt.

But I respectfully disagree with him about the debate.

If he really thinks that Barack was not on his game tonight, then he needs to stop drinking his beloved Jameson's.

Obama has set up Mitt like the chump that he is.

Bank on it...the next debate is the debate that you should all watch.

nuff said!

6. I am not a scientist...(eom)

[Fumesucker]

8. 2004: I support the troops but ...

I remember what it was like then, any criticism however mild of the Iraq invasion had to be prefaced by lengthy disclaimers regarding your love of the troops.

9. I'm not a doctor

so I guess I am.

10. I am not anti science but......................

11. Online I have seen sort of a flip side to that.

As a gay man/woman I think that...

As a woman I think that...

Well just about any group you can think of 9 out of 10 times when they do this they spout some nonsense that sounds like it could have come right out of Rush Limbaugh's mouth.

13. I am not agaist satire, but.....

14. What if you announce it in the middle or near the end?

Amy Schumer did that: https://twitter.com/amyschumer/status/615182173570633728
She even added, "Trust me."

15. I'm not a disingenous hypocrite. Really, I'm not. Some of my best friends are honest. But....

.....I can totally understand why someone who doesn't want his or her motives questioned would lie about he or she should be perceived in a desperate attempt to deflect how one would otherwise view that person.

But again, I'm not a disingenuous hypocrite.

[Dr. Strange]

17. The people are not shit.

That's just not how I feel.

[Tommy_Carcetti]

18. I'm not anti-Canadian rap.

That being said, putting mayonnaise on everything one eats is idiotic.

[Festivito]

16. Negation of negativity infers truism.

An absolute denial of a bad quality of character is usually false because we are unable to be anything to an absolute degree.
