Anyone have a link debunking "loopholes"?
That is the latest RW talking point. Knowing them I'm pretty sure they are imaginary. I need to answer a ltte and need a little help. I've been searching and can't find what I'm looking for. Thanks.

1. Could you be a little less obscure, please?
Someone might be able to help you if you used more words to explain what you are looking for.

Here's a photo of a loophole. I doubt the RW is opposed to these...

2. That's a loophole? See, I'm no good at that photo-tagging game
You know the game Google has, where you and a virtual partner are both shown photos and you have like 20 seconds to throw out whatever keywords come to mind, with the goal being to help index image content for searching better?

Yeah, if that photo above came up, not once would I think "loophole."

3. Yup. It's designed for archers and riflemen to fire through.
The angled sides allow firing through a fairly wide angle, while the narrow opening protects the person from return fire. Very effecting in protecting castles and towers.

It's where the word loophole comes from. It's been adapted to political and other terms.

4. Fascinating.
Thanks for the lesson. Now me, I would have thought "pizza oven" when I see something like that.

:thumbsup:

5. The winger wrote a ltte saying that the healthcare bill
is full of loopholes and will cover undocumented workers and abortions. Now I know they are all full of shit, but that is what the pukes were all screaming about after Obama's speech. I was looking for a little help debunking these crackpots.

Thanks for the lesson. I didn't know those gun slots were called loopholes.
