The same Will Rogers that had a piece in the New York Times where he mocked Smedley Butler and volunteered to lead the fascist revolt (business plot) himself?
Brings that quote into a different light a bit.
…if Smedley Butler don’t take that job of marching down Pennsylvania at the head of wall Street’s fighting Brigade I would like to get my application in.

“When you hear the truth does the source truly matter”
SeeMarkFly 2025
Actually yeah, it does.
I don’t see how the truth can suddenly become not-the -truth just because someone you don’t like said it.
Kind of. The source may influence if you recognize it as the truth or trust that it is the truth, or how close to the whole truth it is.
Also, the source is affecting their reputation (in some way) by providing the truth. So it matters to the source that they are the source.
Then you didn’t hear the truth.
So…2+2=4 is true when Albert Einstein says it but false when Adolf Hitler says it?
I’m not buying that.
Because it isn’t really the truth it’s just a quip
Way to move the goalpost.
I never agreed it was the truth I’m someone else
The statement stated it was the truth.
The original statement was a quip and it can go piss up a rope.
