Title: Is a blogger without any proof of his claims a reputable source?
Post by: ieffinhatecardio on February 12, 2007, 06:32:26 PM
Just a little poll to find out what everyone thinks of as acceptable proof.

Would you except as fact a right wing or left wing blogger that provides ZERO proof of his claims?


What if he had a large donate button on his blog? What if the picture on the first page of his blog was of him holding an assault rifle with a towel wrapped around his head?

I give you, "devil".

Erm, and where exactly is your 'proof' he fabricated it, my friend?

Should we believe you?

Guys - the picture is meant to be a mockery, 'ieffin' is about the only one that doesn't get it.

Oh, and now you haven't posted the link, clever guy.

if his claim is not backed up anywhere, and it doesn't pass the smell test, people here will call bullshit and it'll become obsolete.  The member who continually uses this source will look like an asshat.

Notice how you didn't answer the question, again. LOL

By the way, where is the link to the Independent showing that they retracted the statement?

Ouch, village idiot is harsh. I'm sorry that you're recent posts have failed miserably but hey, there's always tomorrow.

By the way, how'd that whole Bush 41 thread work out for you? Did you apologize to 240 for being completely WRONG?

Oh, and that "scalded dog" quote was a beauty too. LOL

Nice job.

Erm... no, bloggers are basically people who put their diaries out there for public consumption. Anyone who gets their political savvy from a blog is beyond dumb. Beyond retardo actually... lol

Beach, plse.

ExxonMobil
"In Editorial and Opinion on Saturday (3 February) we wrote that 'ExxonMobil is attempting to bribe scientists to pick holes in the IPPC's assessment (on climate change). We now recognise that this statement is incorrect and we withdraw it."
Those of you that like to use The Independent as a reliable news source should probably reconsider what you deem to be 'reliable'.  I say this in tandem with their inability to correctly spell 'IPCC', as above.
The Independent has since removed this correction from their website, with no explanation forthcoming.
*CRICKETS*
;D
I was waiting for someone to pitch in, but the silence was deafening!
Many of the liberals on this site run like scalded dogs from the facts.   :)
Whoops, don't say that too loudly - Beserker will berate you for having an opinion and then start a thread about your 'identity'!
Uh oh . . . . .
Sorry, buddy, it's his job as a Moderator to 'call you out' on it.
:)  But I don't have an identity crisis.  I'm an independent.  No, wait, I'm a Republican!  No, I'm a moderate Republican.  Wait, I'm a libertarian.  I'm SO confused!  Maybe I should ask Allied Powers for help.   :D
It all makes sense now, I got called out because I don't flip-flop!

I give you the source of the "facts" that liberals are running from like scolded dogs, the "devil".  ;D

Ouch, there's that village idiot thing again.

Sounds like someone has some hurt feelings. You'll get over it.

The beating you took after the Bush 41 and ExxonMobil threads must sting. OUCH.

Oh no, junior.   :D  Not the Jag trick.  Say one thing, but mean another (when it turns out what you actually said is wrong). 

And I don't eat spam either.  But don't tell me, you really meant veggie burgers?   :)

More bullshit.

Why don't you post about how Bruce used a blogger to make a political point? Talk about lack of credibility...

Notice how the point of your post wasn't debated, just whether you were correct in calling Hawaii the Big Island?  ::)

As if that actually matters more than the point of the thread.

The island of "Hawaii" is known as the "Big Island."  I live on Oahu aka "The Gathering Place."  Geographically it's much smaller than the Big Island, but the overwhelming majority of the state population lives on Oahu.  I'm really starting to fall in love with Maui though (was just there last week, going again next week).  And it has NOTHING to do with the fact the state's only Krispy Kreme's franchise is on Maui.   :)

Man Krispy Kremes are the bomb.  I get the "double dozen" when I go.  That's a dozen glazed and a dozen mixed variety.  I have to spit on a few to keep my kids from eating them all (even though I buy them primarily for those spoiled brats).   :)

Maybe I'll buy some for Jag one day.  When she's not mad at me of course.   :)

You haven't proven anything. There is nothing to prove wrong. Why you can't grasp that I can't even fathom.

Don't you get tired of constantly dodging and weaving? Clinton was that way as well.

The whole point of this thread is your reliance on "devil" as your source for information.

You have yet to offer any proof other than the words of "devil" posted on his blog. Get it? Do you understand?

You have offered no proof. I've asked for proof of your point yet you won't give any.

You were either lying when you started the ExxonMobil thread or you can't back up what you posted. Either way your credibility is GONE.

I'm having fun watching you squirm. So is everyone else.

Notice how no one has come to your rescue or even defended you? Did you pick up on that?  :o

LOL.  Bruce I have this picture of a clown sitting at his computer with a score sheet, keeping track of people who agree and disagree with you.  Taking copious notes so he can quote something you said six months from now. 

If I were you, I would jealously guard my true identity.

Here comes loverboy to the rescue. You and bruce make such a lovely couple, it's heartwarming to see you defend your lover.

LOL, nice deflection especially on a thread whose purpose is to find out who agrees with bruce.  ::)

I love how pissed off you get, I wouldn't doubt if you literally pound your keyboard and spit at the screen.  ;D

Who's the 41st President of the US again?

I bring you the source of your "facts", the "devil". LOL
