If a single source reported Bush giving the one-finger salute to peace protestors, would you believe that?

Depends on the source. If Bob Woodward reported it, I'd believe it. If the Post reported it, I'd believe it with only negligible reservation. If some rag-tag internet source reported it without even citing its source, now way. Not that that means it didn't happen, of course.

The comment of mine to which you replied was teasing LB et al about the victory dances that regularly occur here with the slightest hint of some negative news about Kerry while the same folks wouldn't trust the Times' reporting that the sun had risen.
