You may have heard me say this, but it's not what I said. This routine of yours is getting tiresome.

Ty refused to accept that argument because he refused to believe FDR lied. Even after Penske cited a speech in which made it clear FDR was lying he then wanted another cite.

No, I asked for more of the speech from which Penske -- or whomever he got it from -- found the single sentence that he quoted. I wondered what the context was, and suspected -- correctly, it would seem -- that you and Penske are trafficking in someone else's arguments about FDR. I don't know much about the 1940 campaign myself.
I am perfectly willing to believe that FDR misled people, just as I am willing to believe that New Orleans officials connived with the North Koreans to deploy school buses as submarines.
There is some irony in having to point this out within a day of your refusing to accept that the White House is inflating budgetary projections for political purposes.
