Your argument assumes that The Community Fair was a "Tom Knox Rally" and that Our Councilwoman was lying when she denied it. I saw the video clip and it looked like a quick introduction of a candidate, in the context of other activities. It appeared things were hammed up for a brief time, and there was nothing that could have filled two days (or even one day). There was more Tom Knox action at the Party in the Park and more Tom Knox posters near Clark Park, than was visible in the Malcolm X park video clip. So given some context, are you saying the Party in the Park was also a Tom Knox rally?

Note, though, that McCain's taking the blame didn't mean that he felt obliged to quit the race or anything. Melani Lamond

Most people would think that being called "even more adorable" was a
compliment. "Ad hominem" praise, so to speak. I guess I could have ignored your
question ("are you saying ... ?). Or, responded with something like "yeah ...
you're
right.; the secret person referred to "
I won't pretend I can read your mind so I won't try to guess what you would
have responded in either of these cases.
