It’s the perception rather than the intent.’ It doesn’t make any difference what my intent was, it’s the perception.

Ahh, Dave, that makes it all better. Well, let me 'frame' your intent exactly how I want to frame it:



I guess two sides can play the ‘frame the intent any way we damn well please’ game, eh, Dave? It’s about time we started replying to these bastards in kind. Saul Alinsky would be proud, and damned if I’ll feel ashamed.

If we don’t use and play by the full set of rules our adversaries use, we’ll fail at the game. Can we afford to do that, given the stakes?

Get him. Blood in the water, and all of that.
