<< "You won't see them until you watch the program.... Whether you believe the program or not is your choice." >> That's twice now that you've used that excuse to brush off an opposing POV. You gleefully used the OPINIONS of an obvious Bush hating liberal as proof that Bush lied yet you haven't seen the show either. So why is it wrong for folks who disagree with you to form their own opinions of the show before they've seen it when it was proof positive for you before you saw it? Please explain this obvious double standard to me.

You continue to use this lame excuse over & over, yet despite having it thoroughly discredited, you still believe it to be true: << "If one researches the sources for almost all posts they either originate from one source of the other and then those are labeled as liberal sources or right wing sources so what different does it make since they are no in between sources." >> When many of my peers or myself have linked you to bipartisan reports that based their unanimous conclusions on cold, hard facts, you simply can't get any closer to the objective truth. When I link you to source documents & verbatim quotes from the original sources, you can't get much closer to the objective truth. When I have linked you to credible, independently verifiable evidence that supports my POV &/or discredits yours, those are facts that represent the objective truth. My political beliefs had nothing to do with the underlying facts. When I link you to overwhelming evidence that clearly establishes a source as an unreliable left winger who lacks credibility there is nothing wrong with identifying them as an unreliable left winger. The objective truth of the underlying facts did it for me. When I link you to a conservative source who uses facts that are credible & independently verifiable, that persons political beliefs have nothing to do with their credibility. the underlying facts are what counted PERIOD.
