I don't need the surgically precise yet subtly nuanced explanations of Ronnie and Chris ; ) - I need Pete's clarification.
No, I want to hear what Pete says. A chance to walk the statement back, or double down.

I'm not sure anyone here has taken the 3 seconds to understand what Atwater was saying. |

Did you? I took a bit more than three seconds. And Found that Pete's quote, by selective editing, implies the exact opposite of what Atwater was saying. Typical leftist, lying trick.

So you have no answer, other than your usual kill the messenger response. The article clearly parsed what Atwater said, and he didn't leave out the critical words that the leftists commentators did. Leaving out important sentences in order to mislead about what was really said is a strong indication that you are intentionally lying. And there were other articles that pointed out that lying trick and also corroborated what powerline said.
Your depending blindly on who you consider "experts" is an admission that you can't trust yourself. Didn't your "experts" say that Hillary was absolutely without a doubt going to win? Weren't they claiming that Mueller would prove that Trump conspired with Russia? Didn't they say that by now the economy under Trump's policies would crash?
Reading his full remarks it's pretty clear what he was saying, you don't have to make race a front line issue when the dog whistles are already there regardless if it's intentional or not. |
Atwater did was not saying what PeteF's edited quote implied. That was pretty clear in his full remarks. Your creepy "dog whistles" notwithstanding. You seem to hear those whistles when they are convenient to promote a lie. You'd think that everyone else could here them. Maybe leftists act and think like dogs. |

What do you think Pete F was implying?
Dogs are man's best friend by the way. Same goes for women. |
