Does Mr. McCroskey actually understand how to do that?  WC defenders are not taught critical thinking, so this will be interesting...

If Mr. McCroskey thinks that is a 'logical question' he has, as my Mother would say, 'another think coming.'  That is imo an illogical jump.  Curry WAS given ample warning, in the form of endless death threats against LHO on his home phone.  What did Curry do? He took his phone off the hook.  When Curry arrived at the DPD Sunday morning he was informed of the calls to them.  What did he do?  Did he say, 'Whoa Nelly!  How can we safely move this man if other people such as the press are around?  We need to re-think this.'  No, he did not.  He went ahead with his original plan and LHO was killed.

Show me one word I have posted in this thread that shouts to you that I was
implying Curry was a part of a conspiracy that I invented or back off.  In fact, you have made two illogical accusations here  imo -- (1) that I am implying Curry was a part of a conspiracy and (2) that I invented a conspiracy that I happen to *believe*.

I have not posted anything about this.  Here you have demonstrated a false axiom with a false corollary.  You did this.  Are you able to perceive that?

A false conclusion based on a false axiom and false corollary.  It's all yours.

For your strawman?  Probably not.

Another problem with WC defenders is that they seem to be taught that, not only are they more 'patriotic' than the dissidents, but they are 'smarter'.  The only catch is that they have not been taught how to think critically.  Therefore, they have a tendency to fall into fallacies.  This post is a good example of that, imo.
