Sigh. Here we go again. Can you point out where that has happened. Honestly, is it too high a standard to expect people to back up their claims with facts?

Sure. One need only look at your next statement to show that some are doing a lot of truth-twisting (see next).

"What was that cute little reference to Sisyphus again?"

What would you call an effort to get someone to engage in a discussion they initiated, only to have them dodge to some other topic everytime you get close to getting a real discussion going?

Nice try. That was clearly not the reference. It was mocking anyone who took this article under consideration (see below for exact interchange--emphasis added). The article has been supported with article after article, link after link, yet all you can seem to add are opinion and unsupported statements that it is "fantasy" by "people who make things up."

Pukin: Please tell me there are not FReepers actually believing and defending this madness? I noticed you on this thread, and expected to see a lot of comments on how Corsi has jumped the shark, but if people here are believing this crap (or are Democrats pretending to do so to discredit the forum) then we really have a lot of work to do.

Rokke Response:

"then we really have a lot of work to do."

Ever hear of Sisyphus? It really fits here.

I've been trying to discuss an article from the CFR that conspiracy folks use as a primary support for their conspiracy theory that there is a global plot to end American sovereignty. Pukin jumps in and says he can't believe people actually "believe this madness" and says that if they do "then we really have a lot of work to do." I, who am in the midst of trying to herd a bunch of cats into discussing a single article that Hedgetrimmer specifically says he wants to discuss point by point (and promptly refuses to do so), respond with "Ever hear of Sisyphus? It really fits here."

And you think I've somehow twisted the truth when I ask what you would call an effort to engage someone in a discussion they asked for but keep dodging???
