Comments on: Compassionate Conservatism http://www.chickyog.net/2007/10/04/compassionate-conservatism/ The weblog of Brighton-based writer Justin McKeating Mon, 22 Mar 2010 09:31:12 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: trodat http://www.chickyog.net/2007/10/04/compassionate-conservatism/comment-page-2/#comment-34435 trodat Mon, 08 Oct 2007 11:38:29 +0000 http://www.chickyog.net/2007/10/04/compassionate-conservatism/#comment-34435 <i>Reading that, one might get the impression that you claim Justin is being shallow and deceptive *because* of his political orientation, and that you stand for truth because of yours. You might want to be more careful with your phrasing in future… and in your use of sarcasm.</i> Especially since, though Dizzy claims to be a libertarian, he's also a Tory, so no friend to liberty and no friend to truth.

Especially since, though Dizzy claims to be a libertarian, he’s also a Tory, so no friend to liberty and no friend to truth.

(okay, there's the feed line, now for some punchlines...) Meanwhile, I really think the Tories should return to Brighton... they've got a good line in bombproofed hotels. ta daaaaaaaaaaa!

So, to clarify, in terms of the claimed misrepresentation, was it the headline you objected to, your view being grouped with other views, or both?

I don't want to keep this argument going long after it should have died a natural death but distorting someone's argument does matter even if you include a link to the full thing. Many readers won't follow all the links. The potential of the out of context quote is shown to its full comic extent in Scrappleface's better postings.

I recall at least one 'Kevin' sketch where he blows up at his parents over some little thing and climaxes with; "Gah! Why do have to make such a big deal of everything?" :o) You’re not that far off… I recall at least one ‘Kevin’ sketch where he blows up at his parents over some little thing and climaxes with; “Gah!

Tch. There are days I regret joining the ranks of the shiftless layabout on the left. I miss having something <strike>constructive</strike> conservative to do. Or were simply saving face and not implying anything specific? Leon: You are a naughty boy. DK is a UKIP supporter, and he makes that perfectly clear on his website. Of course, this does not give me carte blanche to declare him to be a 'raging kiddie fiddler', even if I do link to him. Dizzy: Just working? Tch.
