Obama's Citizenship

What I should have said is they have been wrong on things before. For the most part it's good information and more often than not it's correct information. I guess I'm saying that they've made mistakes in the past, they will make mistakes again and you should always do your own independent research.

Was it you who said the same thing before, and when I asked you to give some examples you weren't able to?

They have made mistakes, and they correct their mistakes very swiftly. They're constantly updating entries, all the time. The site isn't even a political site, it's about urban legends. I've been interested in ULs for years, way back to pre-internet days when Jan Harold Brunvand was the only source for them, so I've been visiting snopes almost since its inception and the explosion of political entries is a relatively new thing. The lengths they go to to attempt to verify information is pretty exhaustive, and as Hoosier said they source almost everything they say, which is something their detractors don't seem able to manage.

Can you remember the day when the answer to most every question wasn't thirty seconds away?

H.

Not really, I'll have to look it up some time.

Nope, wasn't me. I used it going back many years though and it was fairly accurate but as of late I have heard of a few mistakes/inaccuracies involving that site so it's not as iron clad as some would believe.

I'd love to hear of some examples. Especially the 'guessing' part. After whoever it was who said there were many examples of them being wrong, I went hunting online and really the only examples I could find were of people repeating the "they have a well known liberal bias" story.

So really, it's almost a classic urban legend. Everyone has heard that the Mikkelsons have a well known liberal bias, but they've all heard it from a friend of a friend

Jake, he pretty much already covered this on page 2.

Maybe he doesn't produce it because he feels he doesn't have to. Maybe he doesn't produce it because not doing so keeps spawning these stupid rumors which makes his opponents look like idiots. Maybe he just wants the issue out there as a distraction to keep people from talking about his overtly communist agenda?

Either way, I'd focus my energy and efforts on crap like Holder or Napolitano keep doing, his proclivity for consorting with EXTREMIST liberals like Bill Ayres or racist pigs like Jeremiah Wright. The more time and energy you spend on this kind of crap, the less you have for the real complaints.

I agree with focusing on those issues as well, but if by some chance it was proven he wasn't legal and couldn't be president, we could rid ourselves of him completely, then we could care less who he associates/associated himself with!
