    True. He was just Jewish. And yet the Germans let him leave anyway. You do know that they didn’t let any Jew who wanted to leave without a visa, right?

          Other than Einstein being just like Assange, but not. What you got? Oh, Nazi paperwork? OK. But, I think you have have diluted your argument sufficiently

              I’m still not sure why you think Assange was treated unfairly when the law was followed. So I guess we’re even.

                No, we’re not even. I gave an opinion. You made an incorrect statement you tried to pass off as factual.

                Any time you want to admit you were factually in error, go for it.

                But I won’t be holding my breath. This is the internet. Dishonesty rules.

                    Any time you want to admit you said something false, feel free. I realize that saying “I was wrong” is the worst thing a person can possibly do… but maybe don’t have that particular conservative mode of thinking and have some humility?

                    I gave an opinion. Was that opinion based on incorrect information? Possibly. So far you have not demonstrated that to be the case.

                    On the other hand, you stated something as a fact. You were shown to be factually incorrect. You refuse to admit it.

                    Apparently you, like many conservatives, even though you are supposedly not a conservative, think that ever admitting you were wrong shows that you are weak. It doesn’t.

                    I am guessing next up will you be trying to gaslight by insisting that you didn’t make a basic factual error.
