I was simply pointing out the fallacy in your statement.  That fallacy being that the opinion of one man does not represent the opinion of the  general public.

thompson,

You fail to grasp the meaning of "popular" in the context of the discussion i.e. the idea of "Freedom Fries" wasn't originated by politicians, it was originated by people from the general public, therefore "popular" as in the first definition of the word in the Merrian Webster dictionary.
From your own post it was stated that it was an individual person and not the "people" or the general public.


Perhaps you are not familiar with this use of the word "popular", and only with the understanding of "popular" as in "the socially popular girl became the homecoming queen".

Different meaning.
You can put any color tutu on that pig you want to it still is not gonna be Baryshnikov. 

And you are "picking a fight", even if just a rhetorical one, by attempting to cast my words in terms that favor your interpretation of my intent - and in the most negative light - since you can't attack the the factual content of my statements.
The factual content of your statement was that it was a "popular movement".  I pointed out that it was not a movement of the general public but the movement of one person in the general public.

In fact, you are attempting to deceive, lie and dissemble for your own  political and ideological purposes.  That's "picking a fight" in anyone's lexicon.
This would be the first time you have ever called me a liar...somehow I thought you were above that sort of name calling.

Firm
