  • This dude is just a whinny bitch. Look at how the media was all over Obama and not McCain... how about that?

    Your argument is pointless.

  • His videos are about what Fox news shows. Not the rest of the media.

    Also he is not saying that Fox news does not cover Democrats but they almost always show them in bad lighting are rarely give them the same treatment as republicans. They also misrepresent facts that I, as a conservative, find important to our arguments. They cherry-pick the constitution and for all their "no bias" talk they sure seem biased.

  • i don't think any network can cover EVERY media event, live and in full. And while this is one that would have been wise to cover, the facts still are: there are only 24 hours in a day.

  • Yeah I don't think this was very fair. For a news channel to show one party's commentary on something, and then ignore the another party's commentary while claiming it's, for the most part, unimportant (as Brit Hume did) is pretty unprofessional.

  • Don't forget to rate =p

  • I honestly believe that this wouldnt be aa much of a problem, if they didnt say that they are unbiased. Has Jon Stewart or the Daily Show ever made that claim? It's easy to see the bias on both stations for their respective parties, but I hate the fact that Fox is basically lying to people by saying that they aren't biased.

  • help me ! I need to impeach SCOTUS

  • Faux News covers for its favorite draft-dodger George W. Bush.

  • I think it's pretty obvious that their view is that the rest of the media is completely biased towards the democrats, and their "balance" is to balance the scale back towards the republicans.

  • how come people who love war never talk about catching bin laden?

  • The point is that NEITHER are real news.

  • lol

  • how is this promoting msnbc?

  • yes there still are people who wouldnt admit fox is bias....they are called numb nuts

  • Or the asshole named, "CrushallDemocrats" who loves sending me hate mail and I'm a moderate lol...

  • @ratutevita anyone who claims there is an unbiased major news network anywhere in the world is a numb nuts. even al jazeera and RT are biased...its the degree to which they are biased that is important.

  • i=hey i'm from canada to and I agree it's crap

  • isnt it ironic how some people here say dont watch what you dont want yet there here watching things the dont agree on

    sad....just sad

  • islakid, he is investigating the F News channel. Thats why. Surprised you can't even fathom that. Grow some brain.

  • are you kidding me, im not questioning LiberalViewer, im talking about the dude that commented below me( the reply button doesnt work the way it sould ).

    to make it simple my comment is for: "WheelManProductions"

    but if any chance you were defending WheelManProductions i guess i will grow a brain, and stay clear of hate filled people like you, WheelManProductions, and right wing extremist.

  • Fox news is well known to be bias. I am from Canada and i can see it badly. I feel very sorry for people who just watch fox news everyday and think they are getting the news. That is sad.

  • News networks should not bias either way, but i think fox takes the cake for the most biased reporting

  • Who gives a sh*t.

    If you don't like Fox News, don't watch it.

    Fox is not any more bias to Republicans than MSNBC is to Democrats, you just can't stand it because Fox News actually gets good ratings.

  • We can't stand it because they constantly claim to be balanced.

    And what's with the "don't watch it" argument? I don't approve of child molestation, so I don't do it. But heck if I'll sit by and let other people get away with it. What Fox is doing isn't as serious, but it's the same basic deal.

  • I like how you think you can address my patriotism with your only knowledge of me being a comment on YouTube...

    I agree, the child molester comparison was in bad taste. Sorry. But my point is that bad journalism will continue to be bad journalism if it isn't criticized. This video is about Fox News, so that's what I comment on. I can't say I know much about MSNBC, but if it has the same problem then so be it. Make videos about it like Liberal Viewer did if you think it needs to be debated.

  • So.

    You hate people who sit during the pledge of allegiance?

    Well, let's see who you also hate:

    Muslims

    Atheists

    Agnostics

    Hindus

    and people who believe Church should be seperated from State.

    Hm.

  • Really? Absolutely no conservatives on MSNBC? Well, Put Buchanan being a liberal sure is news to me. Smh!

  • You just admitted there is a republican on MSNBC...then you say there is no conservative voice on their network whatsoever...make up your mind. Fox is just as biased as MSNBC, every single one of fox's opinion show hosts is either far right or center right. Seriously, you think Fox is really fair as far as promoting liberal viewpoints?

  • The fact that when Hannity and Colmes split, Hannity got to keep the TV time spot, should tell you that immediately.

  • @Ironcabbit I hate Sean Hannity

  • Although MSNBC has a slight slant FOX is outright biased.I spend a lot of time in Europe due to my work&am shocked at somehting NONE of the news channels are talking about.SWEDEN has voluntarily taken in more Iraqi refugees than the US and UK combined.These people have been displaced frm their homes and SWEDEN has come to their rescue.FOX NEws talks of liberal Swedens pblm w/islamic immgrnts yet fails to mention how the US is responsible for the influx.Thankgod for Scandinavian freedom&morals

  • wow, this is such an important video. i definitely didn't waste my time watching this.

  • This video is a silly waste of time. Of course Fox News is biased towards conservatives, as is MSNBC towards liberals. Since Brit Hume's show and Kieth Olbermans show are not so much news, but opinion based, folks will watch what works for them. But, as for ABC, NBC, and CBS sending their anchors on an overseas trip with Obama yet hardly recognize McCains overseas trips......that does not pass the smell test for bias in NEWS programming.

  • MGEFANTOM, I fully agree I also consider myself very liberal but I believe the press must be neutral, not saying the people themselves must be neutral but not to show their belief when reporting people must hear the full story and decide for themselves

  • anybody who cares about the usa, i guess not you...

  • Britt Hume basically said that what the Democrats said was insignificant, and you never even got to hear what they had to say on the channel!

  • Gott Im Himmel, Heaven help us. The right is bringing America down.

  • Um, I think a lot of people are forgetting that MSNBC is VERY biased towards Democrats. Look at Keith Olberman, liberal is written all over his head.

  • I consider myself fairly liberal, and I absolutely hate Keith Olberman, for the specific reason that he is so overtly biased. It's not good enough to have incredibly biased journalists on both sides. We have to demand unbiased, objective reporting from ALL journalists.

  • thats why i watch BBC and PBS

  • WBAI also.

  • Wbai

  • theboringdispatcher wrote: "right on fuck fox news"

    You know, I had forgotten Roger had even commented on this video. I wish I would have responded back then. I really do miss Roger as strange as that may seem

    Thx 4 commenting, Roger, wherever you are :-)

  • you can look at a fight from many different point of views. But, its only at the end, that you can understand the performance. For the result speaks lounder than words. If palestine is at peace before the end of goerge w bush mendate as he said the palestine people will remember Goerge w Bush and 80 pourcent of all world press will loose the right to press. Does Bush KNOW Israel occupies Palestine? does bush Know anything about texas ? God Bless men kind.

  • this is thought-provoking, thanks for putting it up here!

  • Liberal Viewer: FOX is biased, no question about it. However, the fact is people wanna hear what they wanna hear. FOX took advantage of a lucrative opportunity: the right wing demographic. Their identity as a "right wing" network is strictly their domain. As long as the ratings keep thriving, FOX is gonna do what they gotta do.

  • Obviously this abetes17 is some kind of clown.

  • i noticed he only subscribes to this guy; seems like a fake username through which he likes to harass people. sad :-(

  • I was auto-subscribed to LV after I started posting comments on several of his videos. And I only posted comments because I noticed the same flawed logic on many of his videos.

  • abates.

    Youre the first person I've ever seen claim they were "auto-subscribed" to a channel on YouTube! LOL! I even thanked you for the subscription after you subscribed!

    Thx 4 commenting (and for the subscription :-)

  • "Youre the first person I've ever seen claim they were 'auto-subscribed' to a channel on YouTube!"

    Well, it's true. I commented on a few of your videos, and now I get email notifications when you post a new video. But no, I never specifically subscribed to your videos.

  • abates,

    I guess you must be the special target of some YouTube conspiracy to get you to watch my videos that's never affected anyone else. LOL! Feel free to unsubscribe from my videos if u don't enjoy watching them.

    Thx 4 watching/commenting/subscribin­g :-)

  • "I guess you must be the special target of some YouTube conspiracy"

    I just assumed it's an auto-add. Really, it's not uncommon.

    "Feel free to unsubscribe from my videos if u don't enjoy watching them."

    No, I enjoy seeing what ludicrous, baseless, and factually inaccurate arguments you make.

  • abates,

    Then why have u never been able to show that I made any "ludicrous, baseless, and factually inaccurate arguments?"

    Thx 4 trying :-)

  • Liberal Viewer: I understand your whole position that FOX is bias, which is near cliche at this point. But if you look at it closer, the "fair and balanced" slogan refers to equal coverage, not so much opinion. For example, FOX will cover the Democratic primaries and analyze it as much as the Repubicans.

  • (continued)...they follow up with the "You Decide" slogan because any person with a brain will realize FOX is opinionated towards the right, and they should be able sift through it. This is integral in forming your own opinion. Since you're obviously a Liberal, what would you be without the Conservative demographic? Would you be proud of who you are if Conservatives and their flaunting TV programs weren't there? FOX is more of a blessing than you think.

  • Fox does edit, but it's not just domocrats edited. They edit anybody that does not agree with the neocon agenda. They edit RON PAUL, the only honest republican. The democrats will not help us. By the way fox is supporting hillary now because Ron Paul is the best republican and they cant hide it any more. fox can't have that.

  • Only someone in serious denial would argue that Fox News is the Republican party house organ. It is an embarassment to journalism as an institution.

  • The fuckin proof is shown again and again.. get your fucking head out of your ass abates17. You are a joke to yourself. Stop embarrasing yourself, do us all a big favor and just dont comment.. but it is your right so i do respect that.

  • Thug 1: You look like a scarecrow.

    Sartana: I' am your pallbearer.

  • anyone with their head unjammed from their asses already know that fox is a single sided propaganda channel. again and again they manipulate and exclude facts to bend the viewers understanding of any given situation. strategically using words and video.

    But if you want to watch it, feel free. Just understand what it is. a propaganda channel.

  • Doesn't everyone have it figured out yet? FAUX NEWS. You just have to hold your nose to watch it.

  • If FOX didn't adopt the "fair and balanced" slogan for themselves, nobody would think to apply either of those words to describe their "news coverage."

  • Flat out....who cares?

    sounds like liberals have too much time on their hands.

  • jonkauffman: "who cares?"

    Several posters (including me) have pointed out this grammar arg is silly, but abates says it's important to him "demonstrating that LV in unable to concede that he is wrong about anything, even something as demonstrably false as a simple misuse of grammar."

    I showed abates times I admitted I'm wrong, but he keeps up the grammar arg w/o ever showing I did anything "demonstrably false."

    When I have time, I clean up his falsehoods with the truth

    Thx 4 comment :-)

  • jonkauffman: "who cares?"

    Have you considered that he was posting this in response to your video itself?

    "I showed abates times I admitted I'm wrong..."

    You are quick to cite times you admitted you are wrong, as long as it helps you avoid admitting you are currently wrong.

  • abates: "you are currently wrong"

    Yet, youve been keeping up this attempt to show I made a grammar error for weeks (months?) and have yet to DEMONSTRATE what u claimed was "something as demonstrably false as a simple misuse of grammar."

    Can you really blame me for for applying the sentiment "who cares?" to such a protracted, failed attempt to show I made a grammar error?

    Thx 4 comments :-)

  • "and have yet to DEMONSTRATE"

    You did that yourself, when you cited the results of numerous Google searches, and didn't realize that the search results did not support your usage...over, and over, and over again.

  • abates17,

    Refusing to accept my Google searches only saves you from admitting you are wrong. You still have yet to DEMONSTRATE what u claimed was "something as demonstrably false as a simple misuse of grammar."

    If its "demonstrably false" shouldn't u be able to DEMONSTRATE it?

    Thx 4 comments :-)

  • "If its 'demonstrably false' shouldn't u be able to DEMONSTRATE it?"

    Yes: You have been unable to find numerous Google searches that support your usage.

  • abates17,

    Again, refusing to accept my Google searches only saves you from admitting you are wrong. You still have yet to DEMONSTRATE what u claimed was "something as demonstrably false as a simple misuse of grammar."

    If its "demonstrably false" shouldn't u be able to DEMONSTRATE it?

    Thx 4 comments :-)

  • "refusing to accept my Google searches only saves you from admitting you are wrong"

    I already showed how your other Google searches are inaccurate, and now you won't quote another one because you're afraid I will do it again. Let me know when you're ready to cut and paste an actual sentence that supports your usage.

  • abates,

    Again, refusing to accept my Google searches only saves you from admitting you are wrong by refusing to accept what I demonstrated. You still have yet to DEMONSTRATE anything, never mind what u claimed was "something as demonstrably false as a simple misuse of grammar."

    If its "demonstrably false" shouldn't u be able to DEMONSTRATE it?

    Thx 4 comments :-)

  • "Again, refusing to accept my Google searches"

    Your Google searches were wrong. I showed where they were wrong. I refuse to accept false evidence. When you are ready to quote a Google search that supports your usage, let me know. Otherwise, just say, "I am unwilling to quote a single sentence that will support my point," then everyone will recognize how little you care about defending your statement.

  • abates,

    Whatever you think of what I have demonstrated does not affect YOUR failure to DEMONSTRATE anything, never mind what u claimed was "something as demonstrably false as a simple misuse of grammar."

    If its "demonstrably false" shouldn't u be able to DEMONSTRATE it?

    Thx 4 comments :-)

  • "Whatever you think of what I have demonstrated does not affect YOUR failure to DEMONSTRATE anything"

    Yes, it does. Your complete inability to provide multiple cases supporting your usage shows that you are incorrect. I demonstrated it by pointing out that your usage is not supported by Google searches. You are wrong. Let it go.

  • abates,

    To DEMONSTRATE something would require YOU providing evidence and u cannot use your refusal to accept evidence found by someone u claim is an "Idiot" to prove anything. Thus, u have yet to DEMONSTRATE anything, never mind what u claimed was "something as demonstrably false as a simple misuse of grammar."

    If its so obvious my usage of the word "multiply" was "demonstrably false," why don't u have the expertise to DEMONSTRATE it?

    Thx 4 comment :-)

  • "To DEMONSTRATE something would require YOU providing evidence"

    I am providing the evidence: "See how LV can't find multiple instances supporting his usage? There's your evidence."

  • abates,

    Refusing to accept evidence does not DEMONSTRATE anything about grammar. Thus, u have yet to DEMONSTRATE anything, never mind what u claimed was "something as demonstrably false as a simple misuse of grammar."

    If its so obvious my usage of the word "multiply" was "demonstrably false," why don't u have the expertise to DEMONSTRATE it?

    Thx 4 comment :-)

  • "Refusing to accept evidence does not DEMONSTRATE anything about grammar."

    However, your inability to FIND evidence DOES demonstrate that your usage is incorrect.

  • abates,

    Again, to DEMONSTRATE something requires YOU providing evidence and u cannot use your own refusal to accept evidence found by someone u claim is an "Idiot" to prove anything. Thus, u have yet to DEMONSTRATE anything, never mind what u claimed was "something as demonstrably false as a simple misuse of grammar."

    If its so obvious my usage of the adverb "multiply" was "demonstrably false," why don't u have the expertise to DEMONSTRATE it?

    Thx 4 comment :-)

  • "Again, to DEMONSTRATE something requires YOU providing evidence"

    No, it requires me to point out the evidence. Your complete inability to find multiple Google searches to support your usage is that evidence.

    "u cannot use your own refusal to accept evidence"

    Your "evidence" does not support your usage, as I have repeatedly shown.

  • abates,

    U contradict yourself when u claim I am an "Idiot" while also claiming the results of my research are dispositive evidence on proper grammar usage.

    When u disrespect the person with whom u are arguing, u lose the ability to make that kind of argument. Sorry, Andy :-(

    Thx 4 commenting :-)

  • The results of your research are dispositive because you have been unable to find multiple instances that support your usage. The inability to support your own argument does not contradict the claim that you are an idiot.

    And sorry, but you have disrespected me for a long time, by cutting and pasting your same arguments without reading my responses. That is more disrespectful that one name that I called you months ago.

  • abates,

    U cannot say someone's supposed inability to find something is dispositive proof that thing does not exist while also claiming that person is an "Idiot."

    Do u see you how youve contradicted yourself again, Andy?

    Thx 4 comments :-)

  • "U cannot say someone's supposed inability to find something is dispositive proof that thing does not exist while also claiming that person is an 'Idiot.'"

    Yes, I can. The "idiot" comment was related to one argument, not a blanket dismissal of your abilities to find things.

    "Do u see you how youve contradicted yourself again, Andy?"

    I see that you keep jumping to arguments about "dispositive proof" to hide your inability to find multiple examples that prove your usage.

  • abates,

    You did not call my ARGUMENT "idiotic" or qualify your statement in any way so, as Ive pointed, your disrespect for me in calling me an "Idiot" has precluded you from making an argument based on the authoritativeness of my search results

    Thx 4 comments :-)

  • "You did not call my ARGUMENT 'idiotic' or qualify your statement in any way"

    The statement followed a refutation of your argument, so yes, it was qualified in that respect.

    "your disrespect for me in calling me an 'Idiot' has precluded you from making an argument based on the authoritativeness of my search results"

    If you are saying that your search results are not authoritative, then you must believe that you are an idiot. Is that what you believe?

  • abates,

    Again, You did not call an ARGUMENT I made "idiotic" you merely called me an "Idiot," so your statement was not qualified in any way. But, I appreciate that you are now arguing that you did not really mean it.

    I accept your apology!

    Thx for commenting :-)

  • "so your statement was not qualified in any way"

    Again, you demonstrate a blatant misunderstanding of the English language. As I just said (and you ignored), my statement followed a refutation of your argument, so it was qualified in that way. And yes, I did mean it: You were (and are) an idiot for making that argument.

    Now, are you so much of an idiot that I can't rely on your search results? Please let me know.

  • abates,

    Again, You did not call an ARGUMENT I made "idiotic" or even respond to any argument I made, You merely made a sarcastic comment followed by the one word sentence, "Idiot," so your statement was not qualified in any way. But, again, I am pleased you now feel it necessary to argue that you did not really mean it.

    Again: I accept your apology! This is great progress!

    Happy Holidays and thx for commenting :-)

  • "You merely made a sarcastic comment followed by the one word sentence, "Idiot," so your statement was not qualified in any way."

    So let me get this straight: You are unable to comprehend context from one sentence to the next?

    "Again: I accept your apology! This is great progress!"

    And apparently you can't even understand a simple sentence. Yes, I did mean it: You were (and are) an idiot for making that argument.

  • abates,

    AGAIN, You did not call an ARGUMENT I made "idiotic" or EVEN RESPOND TO ANY ARGUMENT I MADE. You merely made a sarcastic comment followed by the one word sentence, "Idiot," so your statement was not qualified in any way. But, again, I am pleased you now feel it necessary to argue that you did not really mean it.

    AGAIN: I accept your apology! This is great progress!

    Happy Holidays and thx for commenting :-)

  • "You did not call an ARGUMENT I made 'idiotic' or EVEN RESPOND TO ANY ARGUMENT I MADE."

    I responded to the argument implied by your video.

    "But, again, I am pleased you now feel it necessary to argue that you did not really mean it."

    See? You really don't understand. I DID mean it, and I said so.

    "I accept your apology! This is great progress!"

    Oh, I forgot that you ignore responses and just cut and paste. Silly me. Please, feel free to keep digging your hole.

  • abates,

    You did not respond to an argument implied by my video, but merely made a sarcastic comment followed by the one word sentence, "Idiot," so your statement was not qualified in any way. I am pleased,however, you now feel the need to make qualifications and argue that you did not really mean what you posted. That's real progress!

    Apology accepted!

    Happy Holidays and thx for commenting :-)

  • "You did not respond..."

    Wow, five posts in a row where you ignore my response and simply paste the same idiotic statements over and over again. Is that a record for you? Somehow I doubt it. Let me know when you learn to read.

  • abates,

    I did not ignore your response, but, instead, pointed out u were mistaken to claim u were responding to an argument implied by my video when u called me an "Idiot." In fact, u merely made a sarcastic comment followed by the one word sentence, "Idiot," so your statement was not qualified in any way. I am pleased, however, you now feel the need to make qualifications and argue that you did not really mean what you posted.

    Apology accepted!

    Happy Holidays and thx for commenting :-)

  • "u were mistaken to claim u were responding to an argument implied by my video when u called me an "Idiot.""

    Really? I am mistaken about what I meant when I responded? Sorry, but it doesn't work that way. I know what I said, and why I said it; I am not responsible for your inability to comprehend language.

    "you did not really mean what you posted."

    It's amazing that you can completely ignore a direct statement, and post things like this. You're just making yourself look like an idiot.

  • abates

    Again, Ive repeatedly pointed out that the question I asked in that video did not imply any argument, so u were mistaken to claim u were responding to an argument implied by my video when u made your sarcastic comment. And, your one word sentence "Idiot," was not qualified in any way. I am pleased, however, you now feel the need to make qualifications and argue that you did not really mean what you posted.

    Apology accepted!

    Happy Holidays and thx for commenting :-)

  • "so u were mistaken to claim u were responding to an argument implied by my video when u made your sarcastic comment."

    Thanks, but I know what I wrote and why I wrote it.

    "And, your one word sentence "Idiot," was not qualified in any way."

    Take an English class.

  • abates,

    What u wrote does not change my question into an argument, so u were mistaken to claim u were responding to an argument implied by my question when u made your sarcastic comment. And, your one word sentence "Idiot," was not qualified in any way. I am pleased, however, you now feel the need to make qualifications and argue that you did not really mean what you posted.

    Apology accepted!

    Happy Holidays and thx for commenting :-)

  • "What u wrote..."

    I'm bored with this. I'm glad that most liberals are more intelligent than you; with them, I can at least get a decent argument. Your arguments depend on mindless repetition, and ignoring all responses. Let me know when you come up with something original. I'll take any cut-and-paste responses as admission that you can't.

  • abates,

    I only repost those points u fail to address.

    For example, u never explained how the question in my video implied any particular argument, so u were mistaken to claim u were responding to an argument implied by my question when u made your sarcastic comment. And, your one word sentence "Idiot," was not qualified in any way. I am pleased, however, u now feel the need to argue that you did not really mean what you posted.

    Apology accepted!

    And thx for commenting :-)

  • "u never explained how the question in my video implied any particular argument,"

    I don't have to. Even if (as you claim) the video never implied a particular argument, that does not disprove the fact that I was responding to it. So again (and please try to READ this time), my statement was qualified, and I meant what I said.

    So back to the topic: Are your search results authoritative, or not?

  • And by the way, if you are unable to recognize that I meant my previous statement (even after I repeated it eight times), then you really are an idiot.

  • abates,

    I'm sorry to hear u are withdrawing your apology and that u are back to affirming your unqualified claim that I am an "Idiot" as u posted on my video titled "Did Pixar Rip Off Pee Wee?" It's a very poor arguing technique as u can see now that it precludes u from depending on me as "authoritative" in making your argument. And, I thought u were making such progress :-( Still,

    thx 4 commenting :-)

  • "I'm sorry to hear u are withdrawing your apology"

    I never apologized, and as I said, only an idiot would repeatedly ignore my statement to that effect.

    "and that u are back to affirming your unqualified claim that I am an 'Idiot'"

    My statement was always qualified, as I pointed out.

    "as u can see now that it precludes u from depending on me as 'authoritative' in making your argument."

    I have no problem with your search results being authoritative. Are you saying that they are not?

  • abates,

    If u want to accept my searchresults as authoritative that's fine, tho, as I recall, u weren't accepting my search results at all. My point is that u cannot make a sarcastic comment followed by the one word sentence "Idiot" and claim u were attacking an argument not a person. I was pleased u felt the need to try to soften your namecalling which was the point of the apology joke. You should just apologize, but that's for your benefit. I'm just trying to help

    Thx 4 comment :-)

  • "If u want to accept my searchresults as authoritative that's fine,"

    Great. So, as I said before, the fact that you were unable to find multiple cases supporting your usage demonstrates that I am correct.

    "My point is that u cannot make a sarcastic comment followed by the one word sentence 'Idiot' and claim u were attacking an argument not a person."

    Yes, I can, and I did. You seem unable to follow context from one sentence to the next, but I am not responsible for that.

  • "I was pleased u felt the need to try to soften your namecalling"

    My "namecalling" was always in context; all I have done is help you understand the context that was there all along. I never understood why you were so personally wounded by that comment in the first place. Perhaps a better understanding of context will help you in the future.

  • abates,

    If u want to claim that calling someone an "Idiot" is not a personal attack, that's your problem. I've tried to be nice and help u with your problem b/c, as I explained, it seems more important to me than the grammar error youve been trying to prove I made these many months(another symptom of the same problem?). And, as I said, if you want to accept the authoritativeness of my search results, you first need to actually accept my search results.

    Thx 4 commenting :-)

  • "not a personal attack"

    Again, I'm sorry you were so wounded by a comment that was clearly made in context. In the future, I'll be more careful not to hurt your feelings.

    "you first need to actually accept my search results"

    I have: You were unable to find multiple cases supporting your usage of the word, which demonstrates that your usage was incorrect.

  • abates,

    You skipped over and did not address important parts of my post. As I explained, if u want to claim calling someone an "Idiot" is not a personal attack, that's your problem. I've tried to help u with your problem b/c, as I explained, it seems more important to me than the grammar error youve been trying to prove I made these many months. And, again, if u want to accept the authoritativeness of my search results, u first need to actually accept my search results.

    Thx 4 comment :-)

  • "is not a personal attack"

    Again, if you can't read the statement in context, I can't help you.

    "And, again, if u want to accept the authoritativeness of my search results, u first need to actually accept my search results."

    I have accepted them. You have been unable to prove your case. Case closed.

  • abates,

    Nothing about the context changes calling someone an "idiot" into something other than a personal attack, nor does your unwillingness to accept evidence from the dictionary and from various google searches make that evidence go away or prove in any way that I made a grammar error using the word "multiply" as an adverb but not a submodifier. So, u DID attack me personally and did NOT show I made a grammar error

    Let me know if u have anything new

    Merry Christmas and thx 4 commenting :-)

  • "Nothing about the context changes calling someone an 'idiot' into something other than a personal attack"

    That's the response I would expect from someone unwilling to comprehend context.

    "and from various google searches"

    You were unable to provide multiple searches supporting your usage, demonstrating that your usage was incorrect.

    "Let me know if u have anything new"

    That's a good one, especially coming from the king of cut-and-paste arguments.

  • abates,

    I only "cut-and-paste arguments" u fail to address like these:

    1. Nothing about your context changed calling me an "Idiot" into something other than a personal attack, and

    2. Your unwillingness to accept evidence from the dictionary and from various google searches doesnt make that evidence go away or prove that I made a grammar error using the word "multiply" as an adverb but not a submodifier.

    Happy New Year, Andy, and thx 4 commenting :-)

  • "Nothing about your context changed calling me an "Idiot" into something other than a personal attack"

    Really, if you can't comprehend English, I can't help you.

    "various google searches"

    ...where you repeatedly mistook how "multiply" was being used.

    "as an adverb but not a submodifier."

    Again, not all adverbs can modify verbs.

  • abates,

    1. AGAIN, questioning my ability to "comprehend English" doesn't change calling me an "Idiot" into something other than a personal attack, and

    2. AGAIN, your unwillingness to accept evidence from the dictionary and from various google searches doesnt make that evidence go away or prove that I made a grammar error using THIS word ("multiply") as an adverb but not a submodifier.

    Thx 4 commenting :-)

  • "AGAIN, questioning my ability to 'comprehend English' doesn't change calling me an 'Idiot' into something other than a personal attack"

    It explains your inability to understand the statement in context. Again, I'm sorry your feelings were hurt because you didn't understand what I wrote.

    "as an adverb but not a submodifier"

    Not all adverbs can modify verbs.

  • abates,

    You didn't hurt my feelings (the personal attack is your problem, not mine) and I DO understand that:

    1. Nothing about your context changed calling me an "Idiot" into something other than a personal attack, and

    2. Your unwillingness to accept evidence from the dictionary and from various google searches doesnt make that evidence go away or prove that I made a grammar error using the word "multiply" as an adverb but not a submodifier.

    Thx 4 commenting :-)

  • "You didn't hurt my feelings"

    And yet you keep harping about that one word, over and over again for months now. You act like someone who has been deeply hurt.

    Since I made the comment, and since I know the context in which it was made, I can tell you that it was not a personal attack, and nothing you can say will change that. Your continued protestations to the contrary are just ignorance.

  • abates,

    Again, your inaccurate analysis of my feelings aside:

    1. Nothing about your context changed calling me an "Idiot" into something other than a personal attack, and

    2. Your unwillingness to accept evidence from the dictionary and from various google searches doesnt make that evidence go away or prove that I made a grammar error using the word "multiply" as an adverb but not a submodifier.

    Thx 4 commenting :-)

  • As you keep cutting and pasting your claims without any new information, I will just cut and paste my response:

    Since I made the comment, and since I know the context in which it was made, I can tell you that it was not a personal attack, and nothing you can say will change that. Your continued protestations to the contrary are just ignorance.

  • abates,

    I am only "cutting and pasting" arguments u fail to address like these:

    1. Nothing about your context changed calling me an "Idiot" into something other than a personal attack, and

    2. Your unwillingness to accept evidence from the dictionary and from various google searches doesnt make that evidence go away or prove that I made a grammar error using the word "multiply" as an adverb but not a submodifier.

    Thx 4 commenting :-)

  • "I am only 'cutting and pasting' arguments u fail to address"

    You are just ignoring my response. I could set up a macro that would debate as well as you do.

  • abates17,

    I am not ignoring your response, I am just pointing out that your responses fail to address my points that:

    1. Nothing about your context changed calling me an "Idiot" into something other than a personal attack, and

    2. Your unwillingness to accept evidence from the dictionary and from various google searches doesnt make that evidence go away or prove that I made a grammar error using the word "multiply" as an adverb but not a submodifier.

    Thx 4 commenting :-)

  • "into something other than a personal attack"

    I made the statement, and I can confirm that it was completely in context, and not a personal attack. Nothing you can say will refute that.

    "Your unwillingness to accept evidence from the dictionary and from various google searches"

    You have not shown a dictionary definition that says "multiply" can be used to modify a verb. Your Google searches have also not shown that. When you find one that does, let me know.

  • "You didn't hurt my feelings"

    Of course I didn't! Your repeated, desperate requests for an apology prove that your feelings really weren't hurt. It's been how many months now, and you still refuse to let this go? Yep, no emotional issues there.

  • "that's your problem."

    Inability to comprehend context is your problem, not mine.

    "And, as I said, if you want to accept the authoritativeness of my search results, you first need to actually accept my search results."

    You have to play these little word games to hide your inability to find multiple Google searches that corroborate your usage of the word "multiply." Like I said, if you have evidence, you would have presented it by now.

  • abates,

    1. Saying the statement was "completely in context" does not explain how calling someone an "Idiot" is not a personal attack

    2. Denying I gave u evidence from the dictionary and from various google searches doesnt make that evidence go away or prove that I made a grammar error using the word "multiply" as an adverb but not a submodifier. Remember, in addition to what I posted, U were the one who claimed you were going to demonstrate I made an error but u never did.

    Thx 4 comment :-)

  • "does not explain how calling someone an 'Idiot' is not a personal attack"

    I can't explain it any more clearly. You may want to print out this discussion and show your English teacher. Maybe she can help you with the difficult concepts.

    "doesnt make that evidence go away"

    I refuted that "evidence" you provided, and then you refused to provide any more.

    "you were going to demonstrate I made an error"

    I did, by pointing out your inability to quote multiple examples supporting your usage.

  • abates,

    You "can't explain it any more clearly" b/c it is nonsensical to claim that calling someone an "Idiot" is not a personal attack.

    And, not only did I provide u multiple examples supporting my usage (and a dictionary), what I do or do not provide does not demonstrate the grammar error u claimed u would demonstrate.

    Why not just admit u were wrong?

    Thx 4 commenting :-)

  • "it is nonsensical to claim that calling someone an 'Idiot' is not a personal attack."

    Only if you are so completely simple-minded that you can not comprehend the context.

    "not only did I provide u multiple examples supporting my usage"

    No, you did not. If you did, go ahead and quote them...but of course, you won't do that, because you can't.

    "does not demonstrate the grammar error"

    Yes, it elegantly and precisely demonstrates it.

  • abates,

    1. Referring to the "context" does not change calling someone an "Idiot" into something other than a personal attack

    2. Denying I gave u evidence from the dictionary and from various google searches doesn't make that evidence go away or prove that I made a grammar error using the word "multiply" as an adverb but not a submodifier. Remember, regardless of what I posted, YOU were the one who claimed you were going to demonstrate I made a grammar error but u never did.

    Thx 4 comment :-)

  • "Referring to the 'context' does not change calling someone an 'Idiot' into something other than a personal attack"

    Only an idiot thinks that context does not matter.

    "Denying I gave u evidence from the dictionary"

    I don't deny you gave me evidence from the dictionary; however, none of the evidence says that "multiply" can be used to modify a verb.

    "and from various google searches"

    ...which do not support your usage. Your unwillingness to quote those search results further proves that.

  • abates,

    1. Referring to "context" does not change calling someone an "Idiot" into something other than a personal attack

    2. Pretending the evidence from the dictionary and from various google searches doesn't show "multiply" can be used to modify a verb doesn't make that evidence go away and, of course, regardless of what I posted, YOU were the one who claimed you were going to demonstrate I made a grammar error but u never did.

    Thx 4 comment :-)

  • "Referring to 'context'"

    Context is always relevant.

    "doesn't show 'multiply' can be used to modify a verb"

    They didn't. You kept citing examples where you thought "multiply" was being used as an adverb, when it was really a verb or a noun, or you thought it was modifying a verb, when it was actually modifying an adjective. Your mistaken attempts at evidence demonstrate your incorrect usage of the word.

  • abates,

    Saying that context "is always relevant" does not change calling someone an "Idiot" into something other than a personal attack

    2. Pretending the evidence from the dictionary and from various google searches doesn't show "multiply" can be used to modify a verb doesn't make that evidence go away and, of course, regardless of what I posted, YOU were the one who claimed you were going to demonstrate I made a grammar error but u never did.

    Thx 4 comment :-)

  • "Saying that context 'is always relevant' does not change calling someone an "Idiot" into something other than a personal attack"

    Do you even read my responses, or do you just copy my statement, paste "does not change calling someone..." at the end, and click Post Comment?

    "doesn't make that evidence go away"

    Right: the false, erroneous evidence is still there.

    "but u never did."

    You never showed multiple examples supporting your usage.

  • abates,

    1. You still fail to admit the simple fact that calling me an "Idiot" was a personal attack

    2. Pretending the evidence from the dictionary and from various google searches did not show multiple examples supporting my usage doesn't make that evidence go away and, of course, regardless of what I posted, YOU were the one who claimed you were going to demonstrate I made a grammar error but u never did. Where is YOUR evidence?

    Thx 4 commenting :-)

  • "You still fail to admit the simple fact that calling me an 'Idiot' was a personal attack"

    Because it wasn't.

    "doesn't make that evidence go away"

    Great: go back and find that "evidence" and quote it here. If it really proves your case, I'm sure you can quote numerous examples supporting your usage. And if you can't, then that proves my point.

    "Where is YOUR evidence?"

    Exhibit A: your continued refusal to quote examples supporting your usage.

  • abates,

    1. Saying "it wasn't" does not change calling someone an "Idiot" into something other than a personal attack

    2. Pretending the evidence from the dictionary and from various google searches I multiply quoted for u doesn't make that evidence go away and, of course, regardless of what I posted, YOU were the one who claimed you were going to demonstrate I made a grammar error but u never did.

    Thx 4 commenting :-)

  • "Saying 'it wasn't' does not change calling someone an 'Idiot' into something other than a personal attack"

    Aaaaaaaand you're back to the cut-and-paste "does not change..." responses. Really, you are too predictable.

    "doesn't make that evidence go away"

    I notice that you still won't quote examples supporting your usage. Thanks for proving my point once again.

  • abates,

    I only "cut-and-paste" arguments u fail to address like:

    1. Saying "it wasn't" does not change calling someone an "Idiot" into something other than a personal attack

    2. Ignoring the existence of the evidence from the dictionary and from various google searches I MULTIPLY QUOTED for u doesn't make that evidence go away and, of course, regardless of what I posted, YOU were the one who claimed you were going to demonstrate I made a grammar error but u never did.

    Thx 4 commenting :-)

  • "I only 'cut-and-paste' arguments u fail to address"

    No, I address them, then you take what I said, paste "does not change..." to the end of it, and call that a counter-argument. It's not.

    "evidence from the dictionary"

    I already demonstrated that not all adverbs can modify verbs. You have yet to refute that.

    "and from various google searches"

    ...which you still will not quote. You must have a really strong case.

  • abates,

    You AGAIN fail to address these arguments:

    1. Saying "it wasn't" does not address my point that calling someone an "Idiot" is a personal attack

    2. Ignoring the existence of the evidence from the dictionary and from various google searches I MULTIPLY QUOTED for u doesn't make that evidence go away and, of course, regardless of what I posted, YOU were the one who claimed YOU were going to demonstrate I made a grammar error but u never did. Where's YOUR evidence?

    Thx 4 commenting :-)

  • "does not address my point"

    I already addressed that point: You have to look at the context of the statement, and the intention of the person saying it. But whatever I say, you just mindlessly paste in "does not address my point..."

    "evidence from the dictionary"

    Not all adverbs can modify verbs. Can you refute that? Didn't think so.

    "Where's YOUR evidence?"

    The fact that you won't quote searches that support your usage. Every post you make just makes that evidence stronger.

  • abates,

    1. Saying u didn't intend to call me an "Idiot" and referring to "the context" does not change calling me an "Idiot" into something other than a personal attack

    2. Ignoring the evidence from the dictionary and from various google searches I MULTIPLY QUOTED IN THE COMMENT SECTION OF THIS VIDEO doesn't make that evidence go away and, of course, REGARDLESS OF WHAT I POSTED, YOU were the one who claimed you would demonstrate I made a grammar error but u never did.

    Thx 4 commenting :-)

  • "...does not change..."

    And as I said before, "you take what I said, paste 'does not change...' to the end of it, and call that a counter-argument." That's just blind contradiction, not intelligent argument.

    "I MULTIPLY QUOTED IN THE COMMENT SECTION OF THIS VIDEO"

    Already read and refuted them. Care to post them again to support your argument? Of course not, because you're afraid of getting shot down again.

  • abates,

    1. I am not engaging in "blind contradiction," but, rather, I am holding u accountable for failing to address my point that calling me an "Idiot" was a personal attack

    2. Claiming u refuted the unrefuted evidence from the dictionary and google searches I MULTIPLY QUOTED doesn't make that evidence go away and, of course, REGARDLESS OF WHAT I POST, YOU were the one who claimed YOU were going to demonstrate I made a grammar error but u never did. Where's your evidence?

    Thx 4 comment :-)

  • "I am not engaging in 'blind contradiction,' but, rather, I am holding u accountable for failing to address my point"

    I repeatedly addressed your point, yet you ignore my responses and say I failed to address it. That is blind contradiction.

    "YOU were the one who claimed YOU were going to demonstrate I made a grammar error but u never did. Where's your evidence?"

    The fact that not all adverbs can modify verbs. You have yet to address or refute this.

  • abates,

    1. I didn't "ignore" your responses, but, rather, pointed out those responses failed to address my point that calling me an "Idiot" was a personal attack

    2. I never claimed "all adverbs can modify verbs," but rather, I pointed to a dictionary and a variety of google searches showing the word "multiply" can be used an adverb but not a submodifier. Remember, regardless of what I post, YOU claimed YOU would demonstrate I made a grammar error but u never did.

    Thx 4 comment :-)

  • "I didn't 'ignore' your responses, but, rather, pointed out those responses failed to address my point"

    Rote denial is not "pointing out" anything.

    "I never claimed 'all adverbs can modify verbs,' but rather, I pointed to a dictionary and a variety of google searches showing the word 'multiply' can be used an adverb"

    Great. Show me a dictionary entry that says "multiply" can modify a verb.

  • abates,

    1. I'm glad u realize your "rote denial" doesn't address that calling me an "Idiot" was a personal attack

    2. I already pointed to a dictionary saying the adverb "multiply" is used "often as submodifier" and many google searches showing "multiply" can be used as an adverb but not a submodifier. But, remember, REGARDLESS OF WHAT I POST, YOU claimed YOU would demonstrate I made a grammar error but u never did. Why ask ME to show it when YOU have shown no evidence?
