That's his conclusion, not fact, he may or may not be correct, but his past conclusions, particularly in a political context, are relevant. If his political style is to engage in sarcastic, ironic, and provocative commentary (Corsi's words), that's also relevant. Particularly when prior sarcastic, ironic, and provocative comments are false.

When you talk about the character of a source being important, it is only important when discussing facts provided by that source. The merits of an opinion stand or fall on their own. So Corsi's out of context posts from years ago are really irrelevant. It's simply an excuse.

We disagree on that point. It's probably worth noting that Corsi did apologize for comments of that nature.
