The unwavering denial amongst you koolaid drinkers is very entertaining. If I had more than 2 minutes each time I get on here, I'd find other resources. Doesn't change that the reports came out.

It is even more amusing to me that you guys try to contradict a source, especially considering the more than questionable people any of you try to reference and how you take "opinion articles" as fact.

I do. Which is why I preface with "I only have a minute." and "after a quick google search".

Where as others preface with "here's something that I heard on the radio so it must be true."

You quote yourself accurately, but your quote of "others" is half YOUR words ("so it must be true") not the words of the "others". You also seem to have great faith in what you find on google but dismiss without qualifiction what is heard on radio. As far as I know, Google just posts, voluminously, all manner of info and opinion, which is also disseminated, in bits and pieces, on radio.

I only use Google for references. As I have stated many times before, I watch both Fox and CNN, listen to conservative radio at times and read the web. My information comes from a variety of sources. But, I'm not going to state items as fact unless I can cite it - something that was ingrained into me back during college.
