Dan Bongino spat with Daniel McAdams?

[Invisible Man]

The solution in cases like you describe is to not take a side or attack both sides.

You mean like what McAdams did, and what Bongino refuses to do.

In the case of the Yellow Vests they were far better than Macron but they were French socialists.
The campus protestors are about equal to their enemies.

Attacking Bongino for pointing out the truth about them is just stupid, just as it was stupid for McAdams to defend Macron.

Right. Because everybody knows that protest groups are monolithic and there are never good and bad people on both sides....oh wait a minute.





Oh look. These "Nazi" pro Palestinian protesters are so violent that a Zionist protester to "false flag" getting stabbed by a flag!

Good point. Maybe [MENTION=65299]Swordsmyth[/MENTION] can provide a reference where Bongino attacked Zionists.

Not a chance. The entire point of Bongino's diatribe against McAdams is that McAdams didn't take the same absolute one-sided position he takes. Anything short of saying that Israel's critics are 100% in the wrong and that no matter what the cops do to those critics, those cops, along with Israel, are 100% in the right, makes you a Nazi.

Let's not be coy.

Bongino knows damn well who McAdams is and his association with Ron Paul and that mindset.

Bongino's mission, just like Hannity, O'reilly, Beck, Daily Wire, etc, is to demonize anyone who inspires people to be uppity.

No, in fact there are a spate of meanings for spat, and a tiff is one.

Meanwhile there is not a spate of meanings for spate. There is but one.

"To have a spate" is an idiom, and it means "to have a lot of words", "to have a spate of words" or just, "to have a spate". "Spat" is just the past-tense of spit. One might characterize an argument as "He spat at him" but spat is here a verb, not a noun, thus they cannot have a "spat", but they can have a "spate". See here.

This is what AI and the death of (honest) elitism has done to us. "Spat" is just a mis-spelling of spate. But glad to see it made it into the dictionary so all the mis-spellers don't have to feel they made a mistake...

PS: I think I caught my first serious AI-hallucination in the wild: "intransitive verb: to strike with a sound like that of rain falling in large drops". Now that's oddly-specific and just downright silly. Nice job, ChatGPT...

How did AI do that before either of us was born?

My freaking Funk & Wagnall's says you're wrong.

Am I allowed to mention the Mandela Effect in this thread, or will that take this spat-spate too far afield?

Which is pretty much what Rossini said:

No, he said this:

People say stupid things in order to wield that power.

What Bongino said is not stupid.
It's the truth.

 

[Swordsmyth]

You mean like what McAdams did, and what Bongino refuses to do.

Then McAdams should call him out about Israel, not call him stupid for saying the truth about the NAZI/Commie protestors committing crimes in America.

Nobody said anything about how universal the protests are.
Bongino called out the NAZIs that are leading them and committing crimes.
Then the leftarians rushed to attack him and defend the leftist criminals.

That's a nice theory, unfortunately McAdams was the one who involved himself by attacking Bongino first.

A spat can be a fight, probably derived from people spitting at eachother.
