As we debate the many political and social topics here, it's become clear to me that very often, when a person is confronted with very strong evidence (the message), he/she often will avoid seeking evidence which disproves this claim. Rather, he will look up bad things about the speaker, and post those.
This shows poor judgment. No one is perfect. This President snorted coke and drove drunk. The last one got BJs in the white house. Nobody is perfect.
Let's stop this. If someone posts a piece of information, don't insult the source. Sure, if it's blatently made-up, disregard it. But this latest surge of "MSM sources only!" or "This MSM source is too left/right".
Fact is, if the argument is THAT flawed, you should have NO PROBLEM at all finding informatino to refute it.
Remember that many of the common investions of technology and thought were once the work of one labeled kid in his bedroom with a pen and paper. So shitting on a 911 website from a nobody, while blindly listening to any leader is poor logic. Hell, chances are, the leader you're quoting has many more lies and crimes on record.
in closing: Attack the message, not the messenger. Refute the statment, not the speaker.
