Why does Bush preface his filthy lies with "some would say" and then say something nobody ever said?

Question

Bush always makes a strawman argument attributed to "some", and refuses to get more specific than that.

Answer 1

some would say that that some would actually say that

Answer 2

"some would say" is a weasel phraise which prevents Bush from being responsible for what he is saying.

Answer 3

Simple Mole Works

Answer 4

Yes, it's become a very popular tactic on the right.  They make up a statement like that, or like "many argue," and then don't have to take responsibility for it, because after all, THEY didn't say it.  It's cowardly and dishonest.

Answer 5

Why do some people post outlandish questions with no substance or specifics on Y!A ?

Answer 6

Because he's the "some" that he is referring to...

Answer 7

Your political persuasion and 'filthy' intolerance is SHOW-e-e-e-i-n-g!!

ALL speakers, be they potiticians or otherwise, use this 'crutch' at some time or another to help them make a specific point concerning something about which they *know* they have heard other people express the same *opinion*!

How tha 'ELL do *YOU* know that *NOBODY* ever said something or other?!?

Answer 8

Well, he only reads what is written for him or what is spoken into his earpiece.  And he does that terribly.  You don't really think that BusHitler thinks for himself, do you?
