5 Feet of Fury

Which is why I DON’T ‘defend myself’ when confronted with fake quotes and slurs

When leftists manufacture and manipulate stuff you’ve said — I call it “ransom note racism” — my policy is NEVER to clarify, explain or disown the statement, no matter how crazy it is.

That’s exactly what leftists want you to do:

Waste your life on the defensive, correcting their misinformation about you.

The key to success in life is to keep going forwardresponding to real (and imaginary) outrages of the past forces you to go in the wrong direction.

Again, that’s what your enemies want.

And never apologize:

The world has a funny habit of catching up with your “controversial” opinions.

The MP made the mistake of over-reacting:

As pro-life MP Stephen Woodworth tends his ailing mother, he was forced Tuesday to spend much of the day defending himself over Twitter from a fake quote attributed to him that “rape is God’s will.”

In a post that was retweeted at least 10,000 times, marijuana activist and pro-abortion blogger Russell Barth put up a picture of Woodworth with a quote stating: “Rape is God’s will. Abortion is not. It’s in The Bible.”

Woodworth defended himself to tweeters dozens of times on Tuesday, writing, “It is a bald-faced lie. Some of my opponents have no shame!”

The same day he issued a press release calling the claims “entirely fictitious.”
