Yes.
Are you sure? Because you're about to go on actively fibbing about its contents, while it's sitting right there for everyone to reference....

Then me replying to rdm and pointing out how inaccurate the songs portrayal was. Then Joph responding with a snarky comment about how if I wanted facts, I should read an encyclopedia (implying that it's ok for the song to be inaccurate).
Your first sentence here has exactly zippo to do with your argument, so let's just dismiss it as fluff. I get it, you're grasping at straws here, so you need to pad the wording a little bit to make it seem like you've got some real substance to your case. Kinda awkward.
Regarding Joph's response: Did you already forget what you're arguing? Let me refresh your memory:
gbaji, honestly, too little a time ago to have already forgotten wrote:
We had a thread about her some time ago. Can't remember exactly who said what, but there was a remarkable willingness among the more liberal members of this forum to focus on the claimed corruption/abuse she suffered and ignore the violent acts she committed. So it seemed like a reasonable comparison to make. Call it "Bonnie and Clyde" syndrome if you prefer.
So, Joph may have suggested that the song's accuracy is of little import. Sadly, that has nothing to do with your claim. Moving on:

Awesome. This was a person that deserved a song, I say.
The greater context of this sentence was a problem for your argument, so you opted to cull it, as if I wasn't wholly capable of looking at my old post. How odd. The full quote:

Awesome. This was a person that deserved a song, I say.
In related news, the White House should never invite Billy Joel to anything. He also supports murderous outlaws, like Billy the Kid.
So, a tongue-in-cheek remark about the movie-esque heist used to break this person out of prison, eh? Was this your smoking gun? Tsk tsk...

And then add in all the folks who rated my post down but didn't comment directly on it.
...and with that, we're left with naught but this sad, sad little claim. I'll just let it sit there. It's such a fragile, weak little argument, I haven't the heart to strike it down. It's a just a breath shy of stillborn.
Why do you do this to yourself? Don't you have any inclination to preserve a shred of dignity?
