What appalled me the most was the number of websites that appeared repeating this story when I googled it. I would prefer it be far more obscure than it is. I had a very hard time finding a website to refute the charges. Most of the fools I know will accept it without a second thought. That scares me.
That was my point exactly. I searched the internet for a factcheck or something to debunk this, however, came up empty. I did this before posting it here. All I found was page after page of this rumor being spread and people repeating it and posting it.
Some people have their arrogant heads in the sand, and I don’t consider it poor judgment when I ask a perfectly legitimate question. I have to have fire to fight fire, as they say. So far, I have nothing to combat their lie with.
For those who think I used poor judgment - who died and made any of you God?

ZERO serious mainstream sites though. Unless you consider Daily Kos and DU serious, mainstream sites. :-)

Uh... it’s already pretty obscure. You really have to hunt to find it. It doesn’t just pop up when you go to any mainstream media site. Heck, it’s not even above-the-fold on Daily Kos! It’s just a blurb on one of their “diaries”. I’ll say it again: crackpot blogs, nowhere else.

OK. “Some say” that Mitt Romney owns a goat and on Father and Son night, he and his son get after it from both ends! They call it “Tagg-teaming the goat”! What? You don’t BELIEVE me? I DARE you to find a website refuting it!
(... get my drift?)
