    Weird, because William H. Geist famously refused to give Einstein a visa and public outcry forced him to flip on that. And then he was taken to the U.S.

    Do you think the plane took off from the embassy?

      I think Einstein didn’t have a warrant out for his arrest.

        True. He was just Jewish. And yet the Germans let him leave anyway. You do know that they didn’t let any Jew who wanted to leave without a visa, right?

          Visas are for entering countries, not leaving them.

              Other than Einstein being just like Assange, but not. What you got? Oh, Nazi paperwork? OK. But, I think you have have diluted your argument sufficiently

                You made a false claim. I showed you the claim was false. I’m not sure why you can’t acknowledge that.

                  I’m still not sure why you think Assange was treated unfairly when the law was followed. So I guess we’re even.

                    No, we’re not even. I gave an opinion. You made an incorrect statement you tried to pass off as factual.

                    Any time you want to admit you were factually in error, go for it.

                    But I won’t be holding my breath. This is the internet. Dishonesty rules.
