"For the record: We're not Jewish (not that it should matter to anyone save anti-semites), we don't live in the San Fernando Valley (and never have), and neither one of us is a Democrat ("liberal" or otherwise). Barbara's a Canadian citizen who couldn't possibly have an affiliation with a U.S. political party, and I'm officially registered as an independent. Neither of us has ever made a donation to a political party or candidate, worked on behalf of a political campaign (either on a paid or volunteer basis), or publicly endorsed or supported any party, candidate, or political cause (not even to the extent of displaying a bumper sticker, putting up a yard sign, or wearing a campaign button). Someone didn't know how to do basic investigative research, and it wasn't us." - David P. Mikkelson, Co-founder Snopes.com

that's what they all say...they didn't say they weren't in a basement
clearly they operate from their basement with no agenda whatsoever
just remember...when you quote snopes...you are quoting Dave Mikkelson and his wife....if that's your source for the final word...so be it....

I was thinking Snopes can't always be right too.
To some guys Snopes is the final word. Weird how people believe everything they see on a web site.

This is funny. The Cheney method of debate. "I ignore any evidence you have, thus must be wrong."

Seek the facts and truth, not fuel for hatred.

snopes says the "Cheney method of debate" is to shoot your opponent in the face with a shotgun....
I don't know where you got that other stuff, you have it in quotes, is that actually a Cheney quote, or are you making things up again?
so now we need Spence...the ultimate spinner.... to put Snopes, the last word on everything as determined by a husband and wife in a basement somewhere, into context?....gimme a break

What else is he to do when he doesn't have any other ammo?
He's just reaffirming my comment.

which comment? the one where you quoted Cheney?
"I ignore any evidence you have, thus must be wrong."
I can't locate that quote anywhere, not even on Snopes...but it's really brilliant if you made it up yourself...
hey that's a compliment from me to both you and Spence in the same thread...thank me later...

Spence...it's called "sarcasm"...I thought you were a bit of a proponent in a recent post...maybe not...sorry these things keep going right over your head...
I even went with the Cheney bashing sarcasm.....and barely a pulse....just a blank stare
