I read your the first part of your rebuttal and stopped. You suggest the original post is invalid because he said it was owned by a liberal - and it is actually owned by a couple. The problem is he said it was owned by a "lefty couple" - did you learn this trick from NBC - alter what a person says and then prove the statement you allege them to have made to be inaccurate?

If you had read the rest, Dave, it answered that part about their politics. Had you read a little further, the very next sentence, in fact, the insult would have been unnecessary. Maybe a simple trick like reading the whole piece, which I learned in school, might help you from making a fool of yourself. You know what "assume" means, right? Dig a little deeper and with an open mind.

I don't think Soros is a "big time supporter of" obummer. I think Soros is the "employer" of obummer. Soros calls the shots and obummer "dictates" to the masses.

Obummer and Kagan go back a long way:

Rumi, you disappoint me. If disbelieving Obummer and the Progs is your definition of an untruth please count me in as an opposite believer. One cannot believe ANYTHING emanating from Obuttholes mouth. He is a narcissistic, pathological liar with no redeeming values. Case closed.

Old gringo, thought we had reached something of a detente and no more need for you to insult me. Oh, well. My point has nothing to do with believing "Obummer and the Progs"; my pooint is about getting facts straight and not just passing on rumors and lies to fit a political agenda.

Snopes.com exposed the lie of the Soros connection and that the couple who owned that site were "lefties." Urbanlegend made its own investigation and came up with the same conclusions. Pick the factchecker of your choice and see if this story about Soros is true. Or are you with some others and think all factchecking sites are under socialist control, which is convenient in maintaining your beliefs.

When I see such an obvious mis-statement I save the time of going over the rest. Actually, I do not find Snopes terribly biased - do think they are somewhat selective in what they research and/or publish - but think the entire post and allegations are unfounded - but also find your attempt to dispute them more than a hair faulty.

But there was no mis-statement; it is called in-depth, giving the bigger picture.
I am not trying to refute snopes.com: where did you get that idea? Or are you saying looking to provide the truth about this thread by CH is a "hair faulty"? Syntactically challenging sentence you wrote.

Dave usually is mixed up in his replies . Don't know if it's a grammar thing or what .

The fact remains , that morons like Old Gringo jump in , brains put up on shelf , like most Tea Party Alleged Patriots , he lands directly on his face , because the original claim is plainly refuted and shot down .
never ones to be challenged with FACTS , the usual reply is to call you "lefty" , "progs " , " libtards" , typical infantile whining and tantrum like behavior .

I agree that the posting is an unfair depiction of Snopes. I did not suggest you were trying to refute snopes - you were trying to refute the poster and in doing so quoted him as saying something he didn't - and that is my point.

I do enjoy folks who sling names while critizing others for name calling - and all the while suggesting personal superiority - folks like that have my sympathy - must have a real self image problem and try to compensate by trying to bring other down to their level - and that's why I will not respond to him directly.

Have we come up with any sites that are reliable then to both sides or are they all biased in one form or another.

Oldroy, you should know better than to talk to hemeroid. Nothing good ever comes out of that pain in the arse.

As far as I could see this thread turned into an insult fest right after it began. The trolls came out of the woodwork to jump to the defense of their hero Obama. When I refer to the trolls, you know who you are and go ahead and insult me because I really could care less what you say or think.

Rumi you misinterpreted what I said. I didn't insult you, I stated you disappointed me. And I reiterate that. You are not fully informed about the subject matter.

For a different news source, and I feel more reliable, try Googleing the info you seek to disseminate. You just may get a different perspective. At the very least, it will be closer to the truth and accurate, Just MHO.

Bias is nothing more than an opinion - and people should be able to discuss different opinions without all of attempts to diminish others with digusting names - as a conservative, I realize that those with similar opinions to mine can be just as guilty as those from the left - but I do not involve myself with either when that is the extent of the discussion.

Crazyhorse: I've always known that sites like snopes and others have always had a hidden agenda - they are only "hobby sites" with no regulation! What we need in America is some type of Truth in accurate speech laws which seek only the truth and not half-truths. Snopes has been caught many times in a misrep! Hell the internet is usually on 60% correct in most issues! Agenda now rules in America - we must proscute these agendas but how do you control a Tort that is already out of control? Everything including the Supreme Court is now political!
