Brandon Fox follies, Vol. 2 (Updated)

Wonderful things happen when PolitiFact partitions its discussion area into a matrix-like set of personal realities.

Our latest example comes from a discussion thread associated with a PolitiFact story about an NRCC robocall.

Blue pill:

Red pill:

 

How many others have at least some of their posts hidden from the view of all except their FaceBook friends?  I have no idea, and if PolitiFact knows they're not telling.

The whole of the censored post:

And just to make it Googlable (with format altered to something more akin to blog standard):

@Brandon Fox, who wrote:

@Bryan White, how come it was OK for the republicans to increase the debt ceiling several times during the Bush administration with NO decreases in spending? Why does this blatant hypocrisy get a pass from witless shut-ins such as yourself?

Read, Brandon. I already explained it up above:

It's not hypocritical at all, Brandon. The situation is quite different today, in that the U.S. faces a review of its credit rating whether the debt ceiling is raised or not. If the debt ceiling is raised, the review will occur because the government is viewed as doing too little to curtail out-of-control spending.

There was no threat of a review of the U.S. credit rating under Bush if spending wasn't reigned in. There is a threat of that today. Big difference in the situation, no hypocrisy. After you get the reading part down, try the thinking part.

Update:


Almost forgot the most amusing part, where Brandon Fox assumed from the apparent lack of response that I am some sort of coward:

All of that blather, and yet Bryan White is still too much of a coward and answer why the republicans raised the debt ceiling several times during the Bush administration without slobbering at the mouth about corresponding spending cuts. That one too hard for ya Bryan? Since you obviously don't have a job and can troll the internet all day long looking for articles maybe you can find time to answer that instead of employing your usual misdirection and distraction to get people off topic.

If cowardice has anything to do with it, I am not the source of it.
