Is a blogger without any proof of his claims a reputable source?

[ieffinhatecardio]

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.

[240 is Back]

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?

[Dos Equis]

Bwahahahahahahaha!!!!  Isn't that cute.  Bruce has his very own internet stalker.  The village idiot likes you Bruce!  I think you better get the TRO dude.

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.

[Deedee]

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.

What?  [innocently shrugging shoulders]     If you're telling me to behave, I'll listen (or at least try).

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*

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.   

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".

I asked this guy to start a new thread and prove me wrong, which he hasn't done.

Instead, I get this.  Confirmed stalker.

Notice how the only one agreeing with you is your partner in crime in that abortion of a thread?

No doubt.  I will refrain from any further funnies about VI at Deedee's request.    I will always respect a lady's request.

That lady can call some pretty good names of her own!

Yeah, but she's cool.  I like her.  You and her just need to come to an understanding.

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.

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

[BRUCE]

Yeah, but she's cool.  I like her.  You and her just need to come to an understanding.   

Maybe if she stops hurling insults we will!  I do honestly appreciate her moderate posts that are debate oriented.

That is uncharacteristic.  I think you hit a nerve.

Another diversion from the topic at hand. Don't you guys eat a alot of spam on the big island? Didn't know you regurgitated that stuff onto political forums...

I don't live on the Big Island.    Geeze man.  You guys have been wrong like all day.  I have to leave in a few minutes and one of yous guys has to get at least one fact right today.  C'mon!

We are pretty big, after all.

I was refering to old Beachy..

Oh no, junior.     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?

You mean say 20 but mean 10?  or did you say 3 posts but mean 1?  Are you the spelling police?

I always thought Hawaii = big island. And Hawaii is known for eating spam, and you're testament to that.
