Lord, no. My women, for the most part, have been much prettier, with far more seductive voices, as well as tits and bellies not stretched out by five kids. Anyone who thinks that she's "hot" is too drunk to drive.

Never used the word, never had the thought. It's my experience that it's usually conspiracy believers who are quick to expect others to share their paranoias.

I see no evidence of that so far.
Surely if I was a figment of your imagination I would accept your every word as gospel. But if you really think you are talking to an imaginary being - how about a little homage to my supernaturalness. I'll send an usher around with an offering plate. . .

not much different
Did you think I wouldn't go there? Or just hoping, once again, that everyone was stupid enough to take your untruths as "real?" They called her on three things: 1. She was originally in favor of Bridge to Nowhere, and turned it down only when it looked like Congress was about to kill it. 2. She said Obama never authored major legislation, making sound like the legislation he helped push through Congress didn't happen. 3. She said McCain was a fighter pilot when he actually flew the A4 fighter/bomber. That last is of course, a shocking error. There were some minor caveats about other things she said, but they can be read at your link. It was hardly the shopping list of falsehoods you originally claimed came from a fact-checking organization but was actually a reprint of an Obama Campaign handout.

You most certainly did. You argued that such information was biased and deliberately pushed out as propaganda.

If you did you would have seen the numerous link citations also! :doh:

One blogger cites another, cites another, cites Daily Kos. It's called throwing shit up against the side of the house to see if any of it sticks. Some of what is said in what he links to may be bang on, some of it may be as false as what they claim to be exposing, and some of it is, quite obviously, opinion. I haven't got time to read through that kind of crap when I know that a reputatble organization will take the time to delve down to the real truth - it does take time to do it right, you know. That's why factcheck.org has not yet published their analysis.

Fascinating. Having discovered that you can't pass off a press release of the Democratic Party as a fact-check document, you' ve decided to expend all your energy attacking me. Let us grant for the sake of your argument that I am a terrible person; That I think there is a vast left-wing conspiracy; That I went to http://www.samefacts.com/archives/campaign_2008_/2008/09/palin_v_reality.php and decided to lie about the links I saw there. Giess what: you still need to answer the question - did you deliberately lie about the information on samefacts.org because you thought people were stupid, or did you get taken in yourself? By the way. I checked again this morning. There are no, nada, none, zip links at http://www.samefacts.com/archives/campaign_2008_/2008/09/palin_v_reality.php

I'm beginning to question your intelligence. I was talking about factcheck.org. Whether they are linked or not, they are a reputable site.

As soo as I pointed out that you were trying to pass off a Democratic Party Press release as a fact-check web page, you were wasting your time.

Who is defending Palin? Is pointing out that Joesox is trying to pass off a Press Release as a fact-checked web page, defending her?

Actually you spent a good portion of your time attacking the veracity of the sources - in effect, calling them liars. I rest my case.

Exactly. I'm glad to find we are in agreement. We were being told by Joesox that a Democratic blog and a Democratic press release were good sources to find fact-checked information about Palin. I said, over and over again that we needed to wait for factcheck.org. In case it escaped your notice that, when factcheck published their findings, I did not question them, and/or if it slipped your mind that I ticked off the top three negatives about Palin that they reported, I assure you that I did.

I never said that. Where did I say that?????? I pasted a link and *its* subject matter. In any event, the facts are still facts and check-out. You immediately jumped all over the post; made you hasty generalizations! Wonder why some CPians are complaining about the Soapbox around here and why I rarely post here any more.

Then I sent the second link that does have links, which you continue to ignore.

You entitled this thread "Fact Checking Palin;" your OP was a link to a Democratic Press release. Remember now?

Ignore? no. I looked at it once. Never connected it to the idea of links when we switched to talking about them (I should have when I realised your prime site didn't have any.)

OK, you have descended to the level of complete inanity once again. I shan't waste any more time reading your foolishness. I need some intelligent conversation.
