I was thinking about defending against lies overnight.
When they lie, you need to quote a chapter and verse. Viewers will take the assertion of whoever sounds like they know the bill best as the truth. If you list section/subsection numbers and recite part of the bill, it will make you more credible than him. If you just memorize a few small parts verbatim you can win the battle.
When they are rude, you need to say something that calls them out on talking over you and evokes sympathy, but isn't rude. The best I have so far in this regard is "Mr. Smith, if I could just be allowed to finish, Mr. Smith, I'd like to add..." But I think a better response is possible that meets the criteria.
- kn0thing 15y agoHehe. You and me both. I woke up realizing how much I enjoy mediamatters for calling out this stuff after the fact, while also realizing how little it matters when it's that late. Should I get the chance again, I'm going to be ready for whatever madness they throw at me.
- ericb 15y agoI emailed the email address on your blog a copy of this, in case you didn't revisit the thread. That's how obsessed I was. :-) edit: just saw your response. Thanks!
