A small exageration perhaps, but his data stunk from high heaven. Naturally, it was provided to him by the company , which then used him to provide cover for very bad information which they fed to the media. So......using Kit Darby as a source for anything is akin to asking Olbermann for an unbiased opinion on the prez race. Nothing Kit Darby say's is reliable, Period, dot.

Your logic, or lack thereof, is flawed. I never said, or even implied that the laid-off employees were entitled to a job. I said that nobody was entitled to a job in regard to the post I was responding to. For the laid-off employees, I have only said (I challenge you to find and quote where I said otherwise) that I was in favor of preferential interviews for the laid-off employees......uhm, there's sort little difference between having a right to a job and preferential interviews.
No, still a contradiction. You are back pedaling and trying to blur the lines with little more than simple semantics. Nice try though.

Sorry, I cannot put it more simply for you. As for back-pedaling, you're the one trying to cover your clumsy comprehension.

Oh well......

Is that when you stutter as you try to figure out which lie to say this week.

I know several guys with incredible credentials who can't even get an interview at UPS.

Also knew a guy of Middle Eastern descent, with fewer qualifications than those guys, who got called for an interview (and hired, naturally) less than a week after he submitted his application--with zero internal recs.

On top of that, he's an *********.

It's great to see affirmative action alive and well. More to come if Obama's elected.
