A more recent example, just earlier last month. Yet another liberal posted the claim that Bush was an idiot, when several posters challenged him, he posted the "Presidential IQ" hoax as his proof, assuming it was true. Several posters then challenged him on the accuracy of the article. He came back with: "Write Ms. Borenstein at the Bakersville News Service and ask her for her credentials, and whatever else you wish to know. Ask her for the address of the think tank. They did the complilation. Find out from them. Do some research. Read first."
NATURALLY, I couldnt resist this one and posted the following from truthorfiction.com:
This was written from the fantasies of someone who adores Bill Clinton and doesn't think much of George W. Bush. The "think tank" is not identified and there is no such service as Bakersville News, a reporter named Jennifer Borenstein, a sociologist named Werner Levenstein, or a psychiatrist named Patricia Williams involved in any such project. Rich Buhler, the founder of TruthOrFiction.com and a former member of the news media says, "Take it from me. This eRumor was not written by anybody who has ever been a professional journalist. The style betrays the hoax as much as the misinformation."
I never received a reply. :-)
Doesn't surprise me one iota...Libs are famous for spewing nonsense then refusing to address evidence to the contrary. Of course, they got away with it for years since they controlled all the Networks and most of the big newspapers, but now that we've got the Internet and TalkRadio, Lib'ralism/Socialism/Fascism don't hold up under scrutiny.
