Reply #40: and I didn't say [View All]

Saying something would more accurately represent something if it had been done in a different way is not spin, nor is it a lie.

that what you said was spin or a lie.

I said that the, er, re-interpretation of the cartoon offered by you, i.e. the suggested restatement of the cartoonist's own intent, not yours, would still be a big lie.

Quite apart from the fact that it had absolutely nothing to do with the cartoon under discussion, or what that cartoon actually said.


Do you deny that miller is willing to go through the law abiding to get people other than the law abiding?

Does that mean something? Maybe YOU could just make a straightforward statement. Never mind this "go through" crud. No similes or metaphors or figures of speech, if you don't mind. What is it that Miller is willing to DO TO these law-abiding, as symbolically depicted in the cartoon, per you or your re-interpretation of the cartoon? While you're at it, do something about that "get" too, would you?


Did anyone claim that miller had not done things to go after thugs and criminals and the like that did not effect the law abiding, and did the cartoon in question imply such a thing, and did my characterization of what would be a more accurate cartoon do any of the above at all??

The cartoon in question didn't imply that at all.

It SAID it. In black and white and colour.

And your attempted re-interpretation of the cartoon isn't an interpretation, it is a whole nother cartoon. Nonetheless, it says exactly the same thing: that the ONLY action being proposed by Miller in order to "get" the bad, bad people is to ... do something ... to good, decent folks.

Making the cartoon tell the truth would really be very easy.

Same targets.

Lots of bullet holes in the "gangs" and "thugs" targets. I might add "exclusion" as an extra target, with a bunch of holes in it too. Root causes, you know, and the things Toronto is trying to do about them.

Bullet holes all around the "smuggling" target -- since constitutionally, Miller cannot aim at the target itself.

And a big bleeding heart on the fourth target, the blood being that of the victims of violence committed with firearms used by or stolen from "legal owners", and Miller taking careful aim at it while it says "blood? what blood?".
