I use “documenter” but”proofer” works for me too.

I simply go wild when the Left tries to define us or label us as this or that.

Linking us to 9-11 truthers was the last straw.

Don’t get angry about it, because when you examine this tactic from a dispassionate logical viewpoint, you see that they really CAN’T engage in a discussion on this issue, nor really, any other issue either.

They ALWAYS try to use some sort of tactic INSTEAD of addressing the argument (Intellectuals and Society by Thomas Sowell).

This avoidance usually takes the form of one of two logically fallacious arguments - the ad hominem or situational ad hominem, and the fallacy of irrelevant thesis (stating something true, but irrelevant to the veracity of the topic in question).

Now, they REALLY get uptight when you point out their irrational argument, because they just thought they “won” by calling you a name.
“Oh yeah? You’re a [profanity redacted] birther!” “Woohoo! victory lap!”
