Leftists' creative relationship with truth

Leftists are so damned dishonest: even when they''re saying something that's literally true, they're lying. Consider this --
Michael Egnor has a recent post, Gosnell's Banker, linking to a news report that Warren Buffett has given $1.2 billion to abortion groups.

I commented:
"Warren Buffett has given $1.2 billion to abortion groups."

It figures.

Well, at least we finally know what he will spend his own money on -- I'm referring to his politicing with the Dems and RINOs to force you and me to pay more in taxes, even as he very aggressively protects his own wealth and income from taxation.

One of the leftists-atheist trolls who infest Egnor's blog 'corrected' me:
Warren Buffett pays the legally required amount of tax. He's on record as stating that it's intrinsically unfair that he pays a lower percentage in tax than many of his employees.

He's a major philanthropist, donating a lot of money to the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.

He's also on record as advocating inheritance tax (I agree - I wonder if that's what senile old fart means when he refers to me as a 'trust fund socialist' as an insult - and neither of which are true).
So, let's deconstruct (as leftists like to do) this "correction":
Reported fact: Warren Buffett has given $1.2 billion to abortion groups.

Me: ... I'm referring to his politicing with the Dems and RINOs to force you and me to pay more in taxes, even as he very aggressively protects his own wealth and income from taxation.

Lying Leftist: Warren Buffett pays the legally required amount of tax.
So, does claiming that "Warren Buffett pays the legally required amount of tax." contradict what I said, "... even as he very aggressively protects his own wealth and income from taxation"?

Of course not: it's another way to say the same thing! This is an example of a rhetorical trick much beloved by leftists (and atheists, and Darwinists), by which they "disprove" some truth one has stated by saying the same thing in a different way.
