No, just arguing that people who blow up a simple misstatement into an allegation of idiocy are themselves idiots.
Seth, he didn't know China had nukes. He said so. There's no other available interpretation. The guy is a foreign policy catastrophe looking for a place to happen.

I don't even know what to say when someone says something like this. It's embarrassing to watch.

Sure there is.

So is Obama. Remember him sending back the bust of Winston Churchill given to the United States by Great Britain? Remember him giving the Queen of England an iPod? How quickly you forget....

It's prolly gonna be Mittens unless Prick manages some kind of coup. Cain is window dressing. This guy's got kinks dropping out of the sky on him. Obama would murderize and killify him in the general election.

I'd love to see Cain win the nomination. :pray:

Seth, he said China is developing a nuclear threat. Right there at the given time index; a bit after, one or two answers. It's been quoted here on this thread, from a transcript of the interview. It's on that notorious left-wing islamomuslimcommunist organ, PBS.

The Chinese have 300 nuclear warheads, Seth. Have for decades. They're not developing jack-shit.

And he don't know jack-shit, neither.

Yes, I'm aware of that. Here's the transcript:
11:50 to 12.01 HC: "Yes, they [China] are a military threat. They have indicated that they are trying to develop nuclear capability, and they want to develop more aircraft carriers like we have, so yes, we have to consider them a military threat."

It's on that notorious left-wing islamomuslimcommunist organ, PBS.
Well, certainly left-wing Progressive, but you're over the top with the rest.

Anyway, I'm not talking about the PBS interview, I'm talking about the The Daily Caller interview with Ginni Thomas (you know, the one YOU cited) in which he clarified his statements, where he said:
00:12 to 00:29 HC: "Maybe I misspoke. What I meant was China does not have the size of nuclear capability that we have. They do have a nuclear capability, I was talking about their total nuclear capability. So that's what I meant by that."
As I said originally, add the words "increased" or "enhanced" or "larger" to Cain's original statement and you get:

"Yes, they [China] are a military threat. They have indicated that they are trying to develop increased nuclear capability, and they want to develop more aircraft carriers like we have, so yes, we have to consider them a military threat."

This is a perfectly accurate statement because that's what China actually is doing, which means that Cain's original statement was simply an error, not an indication of ignorance about China's nuclear capabilities.

So, I reiterate, particularly in light of Cain's clarification on the subject cited BY YOU, people who blow up a simple misstatement into an allegation of idiocy are themselves idiots.

Well, you see, the problem with never being wrong is you can't admit it when you are. Seeth has other issues to.
Inconveniently for your agenda of personal attack, Cain's interview clearly vindicates my statements and proves that I was correct and you are full of shit.
Yes, of course, whatever you say.

Um, not so much, no. Cain's spin-doctoring a day after the interview is what "vindicates" what he said.

Every reply to Seeth's posts gives him one more chance to post the most amazing bullshit. It's become a running parody of the implacable patron of greed.
