Criptfiend, you say that Truean posting her opinions as fact is a personal slight on you?
Look at what you said to shut other people up :-

I'm seriously getting the feeling you did not actually read the thing or watch the video. Which if that is the case you should most likely do that before you argue about it.
What? Seriously? Did you actually read it? Or just the head line?
^ Both those attack the speaker, not the argument. Those seem to be
Ad hominem attacks, and appeal to ridicule.
He also obviously knew where he was, he just thought there was a panel.
^ How's it "obviously" true?
You claimed you stated everything as opinion only, and did NOT claim things as facts in this debate. It's relevant since you made a big deal out of accusing others of doing this. What happened to his prepared speech if he knew just what was going on?
I had no idea that it was disrespectful in China to nap before meeting with someone.
Oh wait. Even if is in China, this is America where it is not, so his behavior in this says nothing about his nap habits before he meets with a Chinese diplomat.
^ also with the
condescending tone. And you make the assertion it's NOT disrespectful to fall asleep IN THE ROOM with the person you're meant to meet, unless it's your turn to talk. This is also stated as a fact, not opinion. "this is America where
it is not" rather than "this is America where
I do not believe it is"
So he slept through other people's turn to talk and that's not disrepectful? Just because you assert it isn't?
Is there something wrong with me that I don't see the issue with taking a bit of a nap before you go on a show?
Here, you play the victim "Is there something wrong with me" when nobody said anything that could be construed as a negative personal attack. Actually it's the first thing you said, so your opening gambit utilized setting yourself up as a the victim
before anyone else said anything to you. How can we take seriously your claim that others made you the victim later when you're very first utterance claimed that your views made you a victim?
Anyway, he was ON the show, not
"before you go on the show". It just wasn't his turn to talk yet.
To use your hypothetical, he fell asleep in the waiting room before the interview, then assumed the interviewer would be asking questions.
But, what happened to the speech he was there to give? That's why he was there, so clearly he forgot what was going on.
Be perfect in other words?
I mean. It's not like it was even a huge mistake.
That's not "other words" for what Truean said, that's a classic
straw man, because Truean never said "be perfect" or anything that can be even remotely close to that, what Truean said was :-
.... It's called planning and a president really should know where the crap he is. Also if you're sitting down ready to talk on camera, it isn't hard to have one page of abridged notes open.
knowing where the F you are, and having some written notes. That's just the basics, not "being perfect" by any stretch of the imagination. High school kids can get this stuff. He has campaign aides who should be able to handle that. Not being prepared for a speech is not recoverable in an election campaign.
You claim "It's not like it was even a huge mistake." as a definite fact, no couching as "opinion". The very fact that he's running for office and it's on the news makes it a mistake.
What i see here is a pattern of "playing the victim", "ad hominem", "Appeal to Ridicule" fallacy, and "straw man" fallacy.
and he was considered a "liberal progressive" in 1902 when he wrote those words.
