I don't think it is a black or white issue. There are some shades of grey here. It would be arrogant on my part to assume thet every single point in the slide show is 100% correct and can't be disputed. I simply said that there is truth in the slide show and if you can't admit that then you are either misinformed, lying to yourself or in complete denial.

To insinuate that this is 100% bogus or mostly bogus because it may not be 100% true is just wrong. If that is what you think then please explain why or prove each point to the contrary. Don't just attack one aspect of a 25+ point topic and assume that it is 100% incorrect.

I understand questioning things and that is why I was the one who said it is not 100% true. If you think that it is 100% incorrect, then you are as much of a sheep as the people who think it is 100% accurate, IMO.

I will have to say, that it is actually a little ironic that the two defending this the most either can't or won't vote.
Why are you putting the burden of proof on me? I just commented that based on several points which I knew the background on, the authors had little or no credibility left. Why would I give them the benefit of the doubt on the rest of the points? That would be illogical. In a courtroom, the authors would be termed unreliable witnesses, and any good information they had would be tossed out because of how they came across on other points.

There may be some truth in the slide show, agreed, but not simply because the issue is included in the slide show. And, it gets lost in the extremism. I haven't seen the proof, but if you have it, great.

As to irony, I am not defending something here, I am just suggesting that the original slide show is crap. That isn't a partisan position. If you or someone else posted something equally one-sided about another candidate, you would find me dismissing it just as quickly.
