What happens if you go to Snopes and type in “snopes”?
Does it come back with “A bullshit website that has been discredited so many times it’d make your head spin”?
Ad hominem responses deserve to be ignored. However, here goes nothin’ ...
Firstly, Snopes isn’t the issue. Yes, they have an agenda, but then so, too, does FreeRepublic. Since SOME of the folks who hang out here are rude, unreasonable, ignorant or worse, should we dismiss the whole site and all it contains ?
Second, follow the links and see the source material. You don’t HAVE to swallow Snopes whole. I DID say ‘ ... start here: ... ‘. Just because Snopes have been shown to be wrong, biased, premature or whatever on SOME topics — mostly political — doesn’t mean squat.
You just don’t want to see Snopes cited for any reason on any topic ? Fine. Ignore the cite ... AND the site.
Doesn’t change the substance of what I posted and what you didn’t address in your ( sort of ) response.
Have a nice day, anyway ..
