Yes, there are more than this, but it's the 4 that came to mind at the moment. It's on BOTH sides.

To BUSH FAMILY MEMBER---I have known David for more than 13 years. If there is an error, than let him know. Show your evidence and he will correct it. Rather then attack the sight, try and see that it is righted.

Since when does the truth have any real bearing on politics or on YA in particular. I conducted a little experiment a couple of days ago. I posted a blatantly false claim about a political figure just to see if anyone caught it, and predictably, no one did. As a matter of fact I was basically commended by a couple of anti- Bush users, even though what I said was actually borderline ridiculous. I went back and removed the question because it was a crock, but that did not stop some of the wack jobs from eating it up, mainly because it was anti Bush.

Some of the so called facts I have checked out on Snopes have just been one person's opinion. The Clinton related deaths is one such example. It is one persons opinion. Ak. State Troopers disagree with Snopes. It seems quite a coincidence that so many with evidence against the Clintons commit sucide.

Thank you. On that Red State IQ question, all one needs to do is check the educational facts regarding the State of Hawaii to blow it out of the water. Sadly, Hawaii is much nearer to the bottom than it is to the top of the collective IQ rankings.

Snopes its a source. I doubt its the intellectuals equivalent of the Bible. Dont believe everything you read. Although I agree with all the points raised.

Thumbs up, Slicktop. But the same can be said for the anti-Clinton's crowd. It never occurred to me to test anyone, their own statements are ridiculous enough and easily refutable.

Seems to me many forget to check their sources. There is stupidity on both sides.

Snopes is wrong on a few subjects (ie. Prop 187). Don't trust everything they say.
