It involves comparing and contrasting Fey's impersonation with what Sarah Palin really said (or not). We can make that comparison directly. There's no reason that must be mediated by the confused voters. stevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16547070544928321788noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6789188.post-71450316871577275072015-12-23T22:56:02.810-05:002015-12-23T22:56:02.810-05:00Jeremy, you're equivocating.

I draw distinctions which you proceed to ignore and collapse, then raise an objection I anticipated and responded to in advance. stevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16547070544928321788noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6789188.post-9786558072386376132015-12-23T22:43:24.639-05:002015-12-23T22:43:24.639-05:00The referent of someone's reference to an act ...The referent of someone's reference to an act of Fey is that act, yes. That doesn't mean the referent of someone's false claim about Palin is Fey. You can talk about an action of someone and get the wrong person. The act you refer to in this case is a comedy routine, but the person referred to is Palin. If you were referring to Fey, you wouldn't be getting anything wrong. This is a quick recipe for Protagorean relativism.Jeremy Piercehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03441308872350317672noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6789188.post-13889664692109759642015-12-23T21:10:51.615-05:002015-12-23T21:10:51.615-05:00Some confused voters attributed to Palin things th...Some confused voters attributed to Palin things that Fey actually said.<br /><br />So you read that was true eh? I experienced with all the liberal idiots at my university. Even the professor outed them and said it was all Tina Fey you're referring to.Trent W.https://www.blogger.com/profile/10689445339105939531noreply@blogger.com
