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.

I am not putting the burden of proof on you. I simply said that you disputed only one aspect of the original post. There were numerous points made and there is truth to a lot of it. Take that for what it is worth and believe what you want.
I can agree that it was a partisan message, but don't discount the whole post because of that. We are not in court here. If I said that 2 + 2 = 4 and the earth is flat, does that make the first part of that statement false? Nope. There was far more truth in that message than false statements. Why aren't we talking about those?
Like I said from the begging, there may be some innacuracies in the slide show, but there are more truths. Believe what you want and look at it however you wish, but I don't think it is fair to discount the truths altogether.
