Sort of like listening to almost any speech by the president and not hearing the hypocrisies, lies and contradictions within the same phrase, sentence, paragraph or entire speech. It is relentless illogic. It is a curious psychological phenomenon. They seem capable to parse every word into a unique idea if the current discussion requires it. If this behavior hasn’t been identified, classified and named, I would call it “flexible language”. I define flexible language as the act or process of analyzing the meaning of a word, phrase, sentence, paragraph and other grammatical constructs that exists in one context, separately in a context relevant to a different discussion. That is flexibility. Regardless of the meaning in the original context, the meaning of a word, phrase or speech will be changed to apply and conform to the meaning they need for the discussion in which they are engaged.

A reverse application of their deception would be to throw it right back at them. For example, point out that George Bush never said anything about WMD, because what they didn’t hear was the big IF in his statements. Another example would be to say that Joe Wilson never called the president a liar, because he didn’t say period at the end of his statement therefore it was qualified and not even meant about the president. With Tamara Holder it is even a bigger challenge to carry on a topical conversation. You can’t be sure if the price of vanilla ice cream on Saturdays may somehow be related to conservatives not caring about climate change. A response to this type of illogic is to mention that because vanilla ice cream is white, it reflects sunlight off the surface of the planet and thus contributes a cooling factor to climate change. But don’t mention Rocky Road ice cream Tamara would realize the racist nature of comment and jump all over it.
