This is someone AggieHank tried to portray as legit..........well.......actually............tried to hide the sourcing on but when busted, tried to portray as legit.
Hank expressed that he thought highly of DiPrima.
So. The next time Hank is in a thread telling you how he's a "conservative" and a voice of reason.......remember this thread.
quote: It's truly shocking that Liberal Hank thinks highly of this person
Highly enough to vouch for him..........yet.......somehow.......did NOT get his quote that came from DiPrima from the DailyKos.........which is like saying, "I really think that Hannity guy is a sharp dude and can be trusted" and then saying, "wow, I didn't know he was on FOX".
Lots of hyperbole in this thread about Hank’s alleged veneration of Frank DiPrima and Daily Kos.
First, made ZERO statements supportive of Daily Kos. What did I ACTUALLY say about DiPrima?
In my first post, I made an offhand reference to a professor’s assertion regarding Trump’s intelligence, with which I assumed everyone was already familiar. Clearly, that assumption was erroneous. In the face of Ooga’s obvious lack of familiarity with the issue, I identified both the now-deceased professor AND the person who related his (alleged?) observation (Shorty’s heartburn seems to arise from the fact that I did not ALSO provide a citation as if I were writing an appellate brief) AND I said the following:
quote: Could DiPrima have lied? Sure, but I have no (reason) to believe that he did so.
quote: DiPrima is a very bright guy who dislikes Trump intensely. The denizens of this forum just assume that he would fabricate a statement by a now-deceased, dear friend about Trump. I do not make that jump. ... I have no reason to think he is lying
In short, I do not automatically assume that the man is a liar. That is some glowing praise, right?
This entire discussion boils down to the universal assumption on this forum that any words from the mouth of any liberal (here, DiPrima) are lies. It is blind partisanship ... pure and simple.
I make no such assumption, especially when those words seem to be supported by observable facts. Sue me or continue your ranting. Have fun either way.

Hank, do you ever chastise posters or demand posters provide you with “mainstream” non “right-wing” sources for claims made?

Yeah, let's look.
quote: DiPrima is a very bright guy who dislikes Trump intensely. The denizens of this forum just assume that he would fabricate a statement by a now-deceased, dear friend about Trump. I do not make that jump. ... I have no reason to think he is lying
This means you knew who he was. He's not just some name to you. AND, you've formed a positive opinion of him.
And where does he write? You would have known that.

I made no such assertion although you DESPERATELY want to change the subject from what you are. I get that.

You are confusing "observable facts" with "Hank's opinion" but in any case, by your definition............ALL of Jjdoc's gatewaypundit article are credible.
