But you spread the smear.
I guess I do. Public figures are subject to ridicule, and they are subject to jokes. People of J Edgar's ilk ran their own smear campaigns to intimidate political opponents. It is a sad reality of the political game. When I joke around, I am more than happy to include myself in the mix, hence my willingness to joke about sexual depravities that I don't engage in. If my toying with you bothers your sensibilities, then perhaps my earlier joke about the depth of your skin was more appropriate than I thought. Your determination to prove Mr. Hoover a heterosexual suggests you are taking it a bit personal.
Besides, I don't know if it is a lie or not. What I am actually doing is perpetuating an allegation.
"If my toying with you bothers your sensibilities,..."
You gleaned this from my responding with the truth?
Sounds more like a retreat.
"Your determination to prove Mr. Hoover a heterosexual..."
I did no such thing.
More evidence that you don't like to be reminded that you fall for Leftist propaganda.
But...you came to the right place for shrugs.
