I think you’re painting with a bit of a broad brush. “True But False” means that the statement is technically true, but it was relayed in a manner that made the cause look like something other than it is. Sure, 7 out of 10 jobs lost “under Obama” were those of women, but it’s pretty hard to blame Obama for the 650,000 jobs we were losing each month (as much as I’d like to) right when he began occupying the White House.

Sure, his policies have failed SINCE THEN, but when those policies weren’t even in place yet, it’s disingenuous to put those job losses “under Obama”, just as it is to put 9/11 “under Bush” when much of the cause was intelligence failures from the Clinton era, or to lay the credit for killing OBL at Obama’s feet (because the intelligence was from the Bush era).

Nothing wrong with quoting a fact checker SO LONG AS you can go through their methodology and verify it yourself.

It’s rather like sending someone to a wikipedia page for information: the citations are all at the bottom of the page for you to look up if you want, it’s not my job to regurgitate the ENTIRE argument from the bottom up every time I want to post something.

For all my vast powers I don’t control colors on the front or any other page.

Ah, Googled it, some anon redirecter thing. Um, no, I’m not that skilled. lol

Oh, sorry, I can replace it.

Streiff, I have no issue with this position. In my opinion, this is as necessary as getting the RINO’s out of office as soon as re-election will allow. These so called ‘experts’ are destroying the common meanings of ‘fact’ and ‘checking’ – that same as has been done to other words like ‘racist’, ‘racism’ and ‘suppression’.

Word *do* have meanings but and this process of reinventing and distorting the language is to mislead and confuse the average intellect.

Sure why not. It’s not like RS is ban-happy enough as it is

Interesting action and comments. But this “fact check ban” illustrates why wildly partisan sites like redstate.com have little weight in the broader national discourse: they have no contrary opinions and lack any nuanced analysis. Maybe people should think about reading other points of view for a change.

One vote for HELL yes.
Either they are disingenuous or stupid. Either way, RedState can do without them.

Exactly what did the modern Republican party do to alienate you? Or is abortion until the moment of birth a single issue for you? Or maybe hostility toward Israel and God a hill to die on? You teach Sunday school? No feeling that Democrats are…ummm…a little lukewarm to Christianity?

Pray tell, how is the GOP extreme compared to the Democrats? And tell me how do Democrats stay credible for so long when their beliefs are demonstrably, provably false?

I really think I am going to puke.

HAHAHA. I never thought of that. I’m doing it, too.

Go for it Streiff! Have fun playing whack-a-troll/moby/factcheck quoter/eejit. You mods get to do all the good stuff. :-}

Orcs piled on Streiff. Must be dkos in-breeding . Look up.. 113 at last count.

I am sure you are talking about our lack of interest in apologizing to the enemy when they attack us and burn down our embassies.

Too bad you can’t answer whether or not you think our nation should be judged by the way it treats the weakest among us. I’d also like to know if you think Obama’s votes against the ban on partial birth abortion (the procedure where they kill the baby after it’s halfway out of the womb) are “incompatible” with your faith.

I’m bitterly clinging tonight.

Orc season. Still have till November.

This is reminding me of a Hannity episode from a few months ago… it was a week or so before the Wisconsin recall election, Frank Luntz was doing a focus group w/ Wisconsin voters, they started shouting at each other about whether or not there was truly a budget deficit when Walker came into office, and Luntz just paused and said “if people can’t even agree on the facts anymore you know something is becoming seriously wrong here”… I think I’m about at the point here where I stock up on guns, gold, dried food, move into a bomb shelter, pop out for a split second to pull the lever for Romney, and then go back until things finally calm down (if ever). I feel like everyone is starting to lose their freaking minds and I’m in the middle of the Twilight Zone…

as my boss would say- “there you go again!1″ obvious troll is obvious; while my boss loved the same sushi that GHW Bush puked onto the emporer’s lap, that sushi provided by the empire of the right Reverend Sung Myung Moon [rip, god]- the Washington Post was Moon’s crowning asset in his diverse gun running, crime ridden portfolio. Good thread; it is telling you have more comments than likes on facebook. I will do what I can to remedy this, as I love trolling religious republitards on facebook.

Amen.

Amen – perhaps we should apologize to the Japanese for our response after Pearl Harbor or we can apologize to Putin for “Mr. Gorbachev tear down this wall”…an apologipolooza. #Sarcasm. I have a better solution though Mr. President – when we have a bought, contented ally like Mubarak – how about we just keep him contented and paid for and not throw him back for a radical Islamist regime.

choom choom choom

The problem is that ‘fact checker’ sites purport to be checking facts, but what they’re really doing is substituting their own opinion and calling it a fact. This is active duplicity and needs to be activelly called out and mocked as much as possible.

KUDOS!
Well spoke, sir!
