If you trust snopes.com...

Amused, let's face it. And I'm not being funny. I mean no disrespect, but you're a wise and beautiful woman. You're a wise and beautiful woman now, and you've always been a wise and beautiful woman. And the only thing that's going to change is that you're going to be an even bigger wise and beautiful woman. Maybe have some more wise and beautiful woman kids.

And here we have an angry chirpaderp in the wild. After posting an early candidate for thread backfire of the year, he opts not to own up to it like a man, but instead to drop his pants and spray shit everywhere like a beast. Watch as he attempts to hurl meaningless insults; unfortunately fellow forum dwellers simply stare in wonder and amazement and the intended effect is lost. The wild chirpaderp is left disgraced and embarrassed with shit running down his leg, and continues to scream about vague references to World War III. The other forum dwellers disperse, making a note to avoid interaction with the chirpaderp in the future.

Inevitably, they will forget about this note, and will engage the belligerent beast in the future.

Step 1: Be conservative brain-damaged lunatic.
Step 2: Share with the public the brain-damaged delusional bullshit Masters Limbaugh and Jones have been shitting into your skull for the past 30 years.
Step 3: When told, over and over and over that the bullshit you believe in is demonstrably false, scream even louder.
Step 4: See Step 1.

Keep on keepin' on, champ.

I think it's counterintuitive and undermining people's intelligence trying to persuade what people should think. It'll just drive people away and theyll have a stronger interest in seeing what other sources have to say.

What a fanatic. Not surprising though, anyone who goes to infowars for their information is off their damn rocker.

So you think it's fine for google to report "obama born in kenya" as true based on snopes (without the clarification that snopes was only talking about a book), AND you think it's okay for google to report something false that is demonstrably true as written.

Essentially it sounds like you are fine with snopes and google making up true or false ratings with zero consistency at all. It's kinda scary that so many people rely on google and by default will trust the ratings, given how wrong they can be.

You aren't going to win this argument. You're so far in the hole, I don't think you even realize you're in a hole anymore. This deep, impenetrable darkness is simply your world now, and you accept it as such. In your world, nothing is observable beyond what you can hold in front of your face, and even then you only get the information one line at a time, as it's too dark to view the context that exists around that line. Furthermore you seem to be unable to discern what and who is handing you this information, and how it is being handed to you, due to aforementioned darkness. I fear you will exist here for all your days, as when presented with reasoned arguments by those attempting to help you out of the hole, you simply dig deeper.

I pity you.

The whole point is there are so many errors.

How else could you read the headline? Did you read it and think Ben Carson literally found a bag full of $500 billion in cash? I don't see how anyone could misunderstand the headline.

The point is Ben Carson found exactly nothing. A routine audit found clerical errors.

A simple analogy would be to consider a bookkeeper who mistakenly entered the same $1,000 payment into a ledger six times: the aggregate value of those mistakes would be $5,000, but that would not mean the hapless bookkeeper actually “found” and/or “lost” $5,000 in real funds, or that that amount of money ever actually passed through his hands. Likewise, the OIG report on HUD does not mean that $520 billion was lost and then recovered as of 1 March 2017:

Mostly False is a very generous rating.

Yep. It's from a TV show called Amazing Race. I created it for thread backfires on this forum a very, very long time ago.

I WAS THERE when I first saw the gif posted...didn't recall that being you.

I also saw that happen "live" when it was broadcast on AR that season, which I used to watch. It was hilarious. I think you posted that in some thread here the next day. I know it popped it up almost instantly, lol.

(by the way, this bit of pablum (the origin of watermelon-catapult-in-face gif) is far more interesting than OP or his nonsense rantings)

 

[zinfamous]

Since you guys think it's all fake news, here is some more:



I'm not vouching for the source, could easily just be a joke post.

But if you actually read or listen to CNN, 90% of the time there is an "unknown source", so this isn't far off from that "real news".

Just want to leave this here so I can tell you I told you so if something does happen tonight.

you are literally dumber than an inert gas.

That is a fucking fact.

 

[nakedfrog]

Ah, never mind.

Yep. It was so absolutely perfect for thread backfires it just had to be made.

Ah the power of memes.

I totally agree, this is far more interesting. The good old days of this forum were a riot!

look at this "poll question" linked on your uh, "journal article."

Should Trump's Department of Justice Investigate Obama's Wire-Tapping and Slush Fund?

LMFAO!

you've been duped, my friend.

more lulz:

From the conversation on the bottom of that page

We spend 56 % of our national budget on the Defense industry and now we find out that we have no defense against Russian missiles. Do you think that that happened over night becsue for the past 8 years we had President Obama. When the Pentagon was bombed on 9-11 trillions of dollars were missing from the defense industry and those records were all destroyed in the attack. Some say the only reason for 9-11 was the attack on the Pentagon. Believe what you want but the found money didn't just happen because President Obama was in office for the past 8 years. But then that just speculation of coarse.

I like the way they link the full 216 page report as their source, as if their readers get past 140 characters of anything.

chiropet will be along soon to start a thread about it.....

 

[Jaskalas]

You could apply some reading comprehension.
Where did I endorse it?

I'm clearly documenting first hand contact with people who believe it to be true,
and posted it here given the earlier mention of it.

 

[FIVR]

Since you guys think it's all fake news, here is some more:....

OP where did you go? This forum cannot sustain a loss of such an intelligent and analytic mind. Where art thou?


Another odd question, what happened to that 4chan post? I know you sourced it from some legit cyber-sleuth, CIA agent come degenerate, racist slob.... on that site .... and that gives it a lot of credibility! But didn't it say 9:45EST on the 10th? It doesn't appear to specify exactly, but even if that were the case... according to this prediction there should be the 2nd Korean War going on right now. My TV is lying to me though. Lawrence O'Donnel refuses to even acknowledge the imminent, if not ongoing overthrow of the kim regime.


I still have to wonder what that post means? Could you elucidate what gave you the idea this would somehow lend credence to your own (quite strange) definition of "fake news"? I know you're totally gonna school me a bit here, just want to pick that huge brain of yours OP

 

[FelixDeCat]

Trust Snopes? For what? I've only been there once or twice since 1996.

Their existence is of no relevance.

 

[soulcougher73]

It's true that the pamphlet said that, not that what the pamphlet said is true.

Snopes is able to distinguish between the two successfully, you apparently are not.

I wish people could grasp this about religious books too

 

[soulcougher73]

Claim: Chiropteran is an idiot.

Snopes: 100% True

On a side note, it's very worrisome to trust snopes.com to be impartial.

Nothing with self-awareness can be truly impartial. Better to have multiple sources (preferably not all with the same groupthink) and derive a centrist/moderate stance from there.

 

[Jhhnn]

Facts do have a liberal bias. Only conservatives can change that.
