Well, lets see if I can explain it so you understand:

- The original post that lead to this charge of the lite brigade was based off of information from an anonymous source on a radio talk show.

Then I praised someone who didn't rely on innuendo and anonymous callers to a talk show but who said they actually sought out real facts: I called and was told that Schwarzenegger isn't "working with" Cedillo, he's just watching what proposals he's coming up with and providing comments. I was told that Schwarzenegger can't comment on something until it's a real bill. The spokesman confirmed the essence of Ron Prince's statements regarding the effect of the urgency clause vis-a-vis when it goes into law and how we'd have to get rid of it. He also stated that mine was among many other calls they've received on this."

That may be a distinction that you find difficult to grasp but work at it a while and it might come to you.

No knock againstg lonewacko.com, but you have no more info on his unnamed source than you do on Ron Prince's source.

I recognize a distinction without a difference when I see one.

I also recognize the petard you're on: your own.

You're selectively critical of unnamed sources. You've brought no new information to this thread to provide context to various anonymous sources, you just like one better than another.

You're certainly entitled to your opinion, but you can't pretend you haven't cherry-picked what you want to believe in the absence of any substantive reason why.

I showed that there were not only internal contradictions in the statement by the Schwarzenegger aide to lonewacko_dot_com, but also contradictions with published facts.

Contradictions which you deftly avoided addressing by posting "LOL!"
