I can't personally vouch for their authenticity, because it's not like I've done any research for myself, but it would be nice for those who are criticizing them to at least explain what they've said that is incorrect.

No, no, no, you've never tried debating, have you? If you state something, the burden of proof is on YOU to back it up with facts. That's where Hitchens fails, and repeating unproven slander is equally intellectually dishonest.

For instance, someone who didn't like your beliefs to begin with, could call you a drugged-out pedophile matricide, and state it over and over until gullible readers accept it. But I wouldn't believe it without proof.:)

Clearly, Moral Hazard must now prove that he's not a drugged-out pedophile matricide. If not, I will assume he's guilty.

In this case it's the Catholic League that is trying to get Bullshit taken off the air. Doesn't that put the burden on them to prove that what they said about Mother Theresa was false? Or are they demanding it be cancelled despite it being truthful?

You are correct in your assertion, but in defense of my statements, I can cite more evidence. I just thought everyone knew this stuff by now.

There is little dispute regarding many of the facts, and they are so widely known now. For instance, someone who didn't like your beliefs to begin with, could call you a drugged-out pedophile matricide, and state it over and over until gullible readers accept it. But I wouldn't believe it without proof.:)

I beg to differ. This happens all the time. Need I remind you of the many, many erroneous statements by the Democrats in this country? They formulate catch phrases all the time that the Media repeats ad nauseum, till it become true in the general public perception.

Perhaps you, like many of us here (we are Freepers, after all) can discern the truth of a matter after looking at some facts. However, that is not always true of the broader general population.
