The misinformation was the claim that criminals could "walk into Wally World and plop down a few bucks" and buy a firearm. "I didn't think" was the excuse offered for spreading that misinformation after the fact.

The assertion was misinformed, and repeating it spreads it. That's pretty clearly "spreading misinformation".

Of course, were we talking about George Bush, I could scream "He's a liar!" and all the BushBashers would nod sagely. Here my much more limited claim was "Shawnee is spreading misinformation", and your response is "Not really". :-)

Nice segue, oh great and omniscient one.

No agenda there.

Having such wildly different standards isn't evidence of an agenda on *my* part.
