I no longer trust Snopes... and neither should you

...For the Boudreaux photo, one would have to assume that Lance Cpl. Ted J. Boudreaux Jr. is pretty darned stupid to have 1) written a sign saying that he had killed the boy's dad and then impregnated his sister, 2) posed for a photo next the boy holding that sign, and 3) allowed the photo to become public.

Given the disparity in the status assigned the two entries, one has to assume that the Mikkelsons believe that it is at least possible that LCpl. Boudreaux is that stupid, but that it is not at all possible that the Muslim protesters could be that stupid....


...There are approximately one zillion people who---lacking girlfriends or gainful employment---have nothing better to do than to skulk about the Internet creating hoxes and altering photos. What, LCpl. Boudreaux is supposed to know which particular acne-faced loser was the one who altered this photo?

Yep---was really just planning to use the links. Just wanted to be polite about making use of the research efforts of others (tho' I suppose that describes most of scholarly history, at least postions thereof). Thanks. CC

Cool. Ping me when you have it completed.

If you check threads, there are some other sites that some FReepers recommend using instead but I haven't tried any of them yet.

There was also the comment that something like "Factcheck.org" was funded by the DNC.

Now, hold on just a minute. I do NOT have acne!

Ping!

I did a little on the Zarqawi (hooooray!) thing yesterday, so I skipped a day on the Snopes article. I have done a little something on it now, however, using the links you posted in your comment. The FR post of it is here.

Thanks, C
