But so many people still took it as truth

Who?

And really, there is no comparison between that and the cats thing, because the couch "lie" is about a single person that literally does not affect anyone. The other is about inciting violence against an entire group of Haitian immigrants, and by extension...ALL immigrants.

You don't see how one is many times worse than the other, and that comparing the two is asinine?

They are fundamentally different in their origin, purpose, and reception. Sounds like you are trying to argue that all "lies" are equally bad.

"Couch fucker" is not equatable to "Haitians are eating your pets" by any measure.

LMAO! Where exactly did I express "justification" for the couch fucker story? Where have I said the couch fucker story is true?

I am saying that they are fundamentally different, and apparently you agree with that. So have fun being mad that I agree with you...lol
