"Snopes is totally worthless, except to hear what the Left is lying about."

You have made that statement many times. IMO you are wrong in your assessment of Snopes. I have yet to find where they have been wrong anytime I have used them. I am constantly getting emails like the one that said they recovered a camera from a recent plane crash that showed the plane being torn apart and a person being sucked out. Snopes showed that picture was from "LOST"

Please give me a Snopes critique where you can show they are completely wrong.

Snopes is another bunch of Leftist liberal sycophants running a bogus political "fact-checking" site. Sure, they can be apolitical with easy stuff like identifying a "LOST" sequence, but when it comes to political matters, they are no more nonpartisan than Factcheck or Politifact...who they try to ape, but fall far short.

Anyone with an Internet connection and a lot of time on their hands can do a quantum leap better than what they are doing.

I say that because they are (a) gravy-training off of other sites - if not lifting quotes verbatim, from Factcheck and Politifact, and (b) they embellish it with all of the same smarmy, smart-ass remarks and nonsensical nonsequiturs that liberals try to pass off as "logic," or worse, as "evidence."

Everything you need to know about them can be found in two very important questions they totally and completely botched, proving to one and all that they, too, are in-the-tank for Obama.

1. Is Barack Obama a natural-born citizen of the U.S.?

2. Is a Certification of Live Birth document provided by the Obama campaign a forgery?

In the first half of 2008, a number of rumors swirling around about presidential candidate Barack Obama coalesced in the claim that he "refused to produce his birth records" because doing so would demonstrate some or all of those rumors to be true: that Barack Obama was "not African," that he was a Muslim with a middle name of Mohammed, that he wasn't born in the United States at all (and thus didn't qualify as a native-born citizen), etc.

Either they can't get the rumors right or they are intentionally misstating them. I think it is the latter.

Nobody ever said anything about Obama "not being African." Before Obama posted his bogus COLB, NO ONE thought that "African" would be listed as a Race, and most still don't believe it.

Obama IS a Muslim. Is there any doubt whatsoever?? Who cares about the name "Muhammed?" He's already got a Muslim name, Hussien, and two Arabic names, Barack and Obama. Oh, and "blessed" in Swahili is "Baraka," and not "Barack," as Obama claims.

The birth argument is not about NATIVE-BORN, but NATURAL-BORN, two entirely different categories. Snopes also put quotes around "refused to produce his birth records" as if that never happened, before he posted his forgery and afterwards. Obama still refuses to produce his actual birth records.

Aside from the inherent absurdity of such claims (i.e., that a major party presidential nominee would risk his entire candidacy on a fraud that could be uncovered simply by a check of state health records), the supposedly incriminating details don't pan out.

Yeah, Snopes. There is nothing "SIMPLE" about checking his state health records -- it's IMPOSSIBLE!

There go the Moonbats again, with their recurring nonsequitur of how a "major party presidential nominee would risk his entire candidacy on a fraud..."

Hello? That's exactly what he's done, Moonbats! Fraud after fraud and lie after lie. Nothing is REAL about Obama.

Besides copying what Factcheck wrote, they, of course, refer back to them for proof: "Those who have actually touched and examined the original certificate have verified and documented that it bears all the elements of a valid certificate of live birth."

Anytime, anyone is daisy-chaining Factcheck, you can be sure that they're bogus.
