Right, I was asked for my opinion, and I gave it. > However, I think everyone here knows that if > someone had said the same things about Hillary > Clinton -- and they could, with considerably > greater accuracy -- that Judy would be calling > them LIARS for saying it. Barry's hard up for Gotta-Get-Judy bashes. If "everyone here knows" what Barry says, everyone is in as bad shape mentally as he is. Even in the midst of the primary, when the nastiest imaginable criticisms of Hillary were flying thick and fast, I don't believe I ever called anyone making them a liar, even when their criticisms were based on misinformation. > When Judy expresses an OPINION, somehow it > comes out as if she is speaking pure Truth, > as if she has convinced herself that she > "knows," and anyone who disagrees with her > doesn't. > > But when someone else expresses an OPINION > that Judy doesn't like, they aren't just > mistaken, they are LYING. > > Interesting, doncha think? What's interesting is not just that the above is flatly untrue, somehow it comes out as if Barry is speaking pure Truth, as if he had convinced himself that he "knows," and anyone who disagrees with him doesn't. > Judy, *my* OPINION is that you project onto > the people you don't like the very things you > can't face in yourself. But Barry, that's my OPINION of you. I have never encountered > a person on this planet who is more interested > only in what she thinks is good for herself > than you.

This is what I actually > believe about you. As I've frequently observed, when you say things that are obviously untrue, it's not always easy to tell when you're lying and when you're speaking from serious delusion. Sometimes, I'm afraid, I tend to give you more credit for being in your right mind than is really appropriate.
