Well, we'll have to disagree then.

Without it being posted here, you'll never find this article side-by-side with information about the author's long history of falsified sources and mental instability.

I think his history is a necessary counterpoint to his ranting.

As I said, I understand why some might want to post it. But any positive reasons are far, far outweighed by the negative, in my opinion. At any given time, there are hundreds, maybe thousands, of lurkers out there. FR has a much wider audience than just those of us who participate on threads regularly. We can't assume that all are above gullibility and immune to this type of mindless gossip.

Perhaps I'm over-reacting, perhaps not. In any case, this type of bilge is highly offensive to me, because I know the damage it can cause — yes, even with the counterpoint of which you speak. Besides, I will defend this President with every fiber of my being.
