I’ve known Snopes has been lefty for years. Anything negative to do with Bush won’t be a “false” but a yellow “possible” but they sure will put the TRUE in red when it is something bad.

They did an article on them back in the late 1990’s and they looked like trailer trash.

Snopes the final answer? I don’t think so and anyone who tells me that the birth certificate issue is settled because Snopes says so I immediately call an idiot. When you are are so stupid that you take the word of a website over the lack of evidence submitted to a court of law...

aw hell, I think I just figured out how we got the loser in the White House in the first place.

Snopes, like The Huffington Post, MoveOn.org, Or the Obama Administration, is just another Soros Funded leftist group.

I have used Snopes on several occasions.

Until now, before reading the article I realize that I was a sap. Of course it makes complete sense to consider the source, all sources.

What was I thinking?

Thanks for this!

Snopes sometimes gets it right, but I essentially only rely on it when it nails a LEFTY hobgoblin. It’s sort of like reading that rare editorial in (say) the Washington Post arguing, “Hey, Democrats Should Confirm Estrada,” etc. Then, I can at least say, “EVEN Snopes says this is baloney.”

I meant that I was a sap before reading the article, and not after. Well, not a sap for the same reasons.

Gosh it is tough when icons are thrown down.

Leftist or not, they are right about the birther nonsense.

You know what they say about broken clocks...

Snopes is fine for the non-political stuff (urban legends, spam emails, etc) but we always have to be careful with personal biases on the political stuff.

You don't have to be Sherlock Holmes to figure out that if Hussein didn't have something to hide he wouldn't be spending hundreds of thousands of dollars on lawyers’ fees fighting numerous court actions in numerous states when a $12.50 Birth Certificate would resolve all issues.

next...

Yes you’ve figured it out! Astonishing isn’t it when you look around and find that the whole world is run by a bunch of lefty idiots!

I use snopes for various email types of things. The ones people send around at work, like the email about the 1,500 pound grizzly that ate two campers, complete with pictures and all.

Things like that. (That one gave me nightmares, even after I found out it was a hoax.)

I just paste the link into the emails and send them back to the users.

I figured out from day one they are leftists, and ignored anything that had any political flavor to it. They are as trustworthy as Wikipedia and Google in that respect.

Oh.. but our Senator Kyl believes in Snopes. He is becoming an embarrassment too.
