    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

            You made a false claim. I showed you the claim was false. I’m not sure why you can’t acknowledge that.

              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.
