[Peace-discuss] The old twist & spin

[Carl G. Estabrook]

Do you have an example of this “sophism frequently used … on [News from] Neptune”?

When have we "criticized people [Obama, do you mean?] for what they have not said or have not done”?   

We certainly criticized him for not ending his multiple wars and his drone killings. And we criticize the new administration for the same things.
