People want it to be true, more than they are interested in truth. We see that all over SI.

Frankly, the readiness to believe without factchecking or thought just stunned me. And parroting those positions based on BS becomes a badge of honor. Go figure.

Could you give me a link to that post? I followed my backtrail from here and ended at a video of Obama enumerating his policies. As far as I could tell it was unadulterated. I'm not familiar with Larry Johnson but I'll try to do my own search. the readiness to believe without factchecking or thought just stunned me. This characteristic is spread pretty well along the entire spectrum. People tend to seize on information that confirms their beliefs. If I feel picked on here, it's my lookout. I'm trying to be civil.
