[big turkey]

Yep, thought that some of my facts that were so called checked by Snopes was Bull Poop.

So now we know the Mikkelsons were the super so called smart people and did not know Sh$t from

Shineola.

Thanks for debunking the urban legend called snopes, I am sick of.

I just checked snopes and your original post is a fake,posted by machines that have already taken over the world . According to snopes this entire reality is just a dream from within "THE MATRIX" ! 

[Chiefy]

Frequently, snopes will post a conclusion, and back it up with good, valid links.  But then, you get a lot of other conclusions drawn on, "We couldn't find any facts, but it seems obvious......."

I think many folks don't read through the snopes articles, they just look for the green or red light indicating something is true or false.

Thanks for that info clearing up Snoopes, I started to get a funny feeling about it when a few articles about Obama came up and I knew it wasn't right. Feel kind of foolish in that I thought they really checked these things out.

Poor Bobo.....he just lost all his ammunition.

First, you got to take things from who they come from. This article was posted by folks with a very distinct mission. Second, Snopes, Wikipedia, any internet based reference are only as good as those who write for them.
 All and all Snopes has a decent reputation,  but only sheep follow blindly.

Uh Oh, NOW what's everyone going to use to back up all the media-driven "political fiction" and twisted viewpoints?  Well, there's always yellow journalism and edited sound-bites.  That usually works pretty good, too.

Yep, sure does.
I've been watching CBS, NBC, ABC, CNN, HLN, MSNBC, CNBC, NYTimes, etc. etc. ect do it for years............ That's why we are where we are now. 

Speaking of twisted sound bites, ya'll should hear some of the doozies that the loony left's hero Alan Grayson is coming up with here in central Florida!!!

Come on November!!!!!!!!!!!!

Not pointing any fingers at anyone here, but "Snopes Exposed" is just another scam email for gullible gossips to forward to their innocent friends.

Oh, and speaking of gullible, did I mention that the word "gullible" isn't actually in the dictionary?

I think its incredibly mean of whoever came up with this to defame an honest couple with absolutely NO facts to back it up. Certainly none of us would like it if that were done to us.

Anyone who can spell google should be able to dispense with this tripe....but many of my friends just forward this stuff like robots with no thought to its factual content or impact on others.

As if the Better Business Bureau does not have any Merit. ...Maybe i will try Consumer affairs next...I was glad to see a Company and ownership name that was verified from all the info here will agree that it was people with no importance giving the final word...Nice to see BBB is still doing their Job

"Truth or Fiction, is a better source for verification, in my opinion.
TruthOrFiction.com-Is that forwarded email Truth or Fiction? Research into stories, scams, hoaxes, myths, and urban legends on the Internet"

Strangely enough, I found this link from the original posters usa carry link. Since the usa carry link writer said he/she found Truth or fiction a better source, I figured sharing what was posted on it would be fair and balanced.

Thank's but not necessary as the final word again, BBB and Consumer Affairs is more Accountable in the Private sector as far as business Licensing and Customer complaints...just a other opinion based internet blog...The truth is what it is, according to their public rating. BTW "C" is a very LOW rating for all armchair professor's  ..We have used it at our Co, for years and our owner take's them seriously and honestly..not buy little green people in their basement.

So Bonzo, you willing to put your life on the line with what they say. And as for sheep, "a nation of sheep will be governed by wolves." Now snope that one.

[Bonzo]

Well Stormrider, I guess you didn't read my post. I said that internet based "References" are only as good as who contributes to them. As for putting my life on the line with what they say? I trust myself and my ability to determine what is real or a threat. Sheep? Governed by wolfes? I have faith in our democratic system of goverment and our Constitution. Now turn off Glen Beck and go to sleep.

We don't have a democratic form of government, it's a Constitutional Republic. And you say after they've been exposed that snopes has a decent reputation. So, if they've been exposed, in my humble opinion, the ship just sank. And who's Glenn Beck. Never ever watch him. Don't trust him either. I read lots of great authors, none I'm sure you've ever read. And don't tell me what to do. And it's spelled wolves, not wolfs.

Sounds like you better hang on to your hat with the storm headed north-good luck and stay dry fstsix.

[Bonzo]

Well i'll tell you this , you chose to engage me, pass a comment, mentioning me by name. If you dont like what I said or my spelling I don't care. I just answered you.  No matter what you chose to call it, we are a democratic country. But to be perfectly clear I could give a crap less about political comments or agendas on a motorcyle board. The article about Snopes was bull.

And THE Better Business Bureau IS BULL ALSO ?, In the real World a "C" grade would put you OUT OF Business but like the present administration...Do as i Say Not As I Do!! BTW folks IT IS ON EVERY BOARD LETS NOT FEEL SO SPECIAL HERE!! AND LIKE THIS ADMINISTRATION AND SNOPES THEY DON'T HAVE REAL JOB'S

[Mr. Nuts]

The BBB seems to show legit contact information and ZERO complaints....

Not exactly a conviction of all the tripe mentioned in the phony "snopes exposed" scam.

What exactly are we convicting snopes of again? Being husband and wife? Working out of their trailer? Having zero complaints at the BBB?

Has anyone called the BBB to find out how these ratings are done? It's clear as mud on their site. Can a biz like snopes even get a different rating?

Let's get specific if we want to libel someone here...

The friends I have that hate snopes hate it for one reason. They hate it because I've used it to discredit all their ridicoulously gullible forwarded emails. They get tired of finding out that they've just forwarded pure crapola to 400 of their friends and relatives.

I don't blame them. That's gotta be embarrassing.

Yet they'll do it again tomorrow...

OH....OH....i know...i know.....Lets Snopes the BBB and see if they are Legitimate....Hahahahaha. Again you would not understand a 'C' rating unless you work in the private sector as a owner of a business LOL!! why don't YOU contact the BBB and tell them your problem, just the facts son! BTW i do not hate Snopes....just can't seem to find their PHD file for having ALL answers to ALL things. maybe they should be called internet GOD?

[Mr. Nuts]

Well, since you are the one throwing stones it seems like you should do the research..

Is the "C" thing really your best shot after trashing these folks and their abilities to do their business on a public forum?

My friendly suggestion is that you google "libel per se", "libel", and "defamation" before you get yourself in any more trouble.

[fstsix]

Hahahahahah...The fearful  Liberal!! Maybe you should contact MSNBC and tell them your BBB Slander story...are you NUTS? no pun intended 

[Mr. Nuts]

That you are willing to jump to extreme conclusions and then publish your false and undocumented conclusions online in a public forum is self evident from your actions here.

Now you jump to the conclusiuon that I am a "fearful liberal" here when you have ZERO evidence of any such thing.

I can sure see why you hate snopes. You are the zen master of jumping to conclusions and passing on false statements. Your friends keep replying "snopes say false" don't they? And still you forward tripe. Over and over again. Your posting record here proves it too.

Let me help you with a little research since you seem unwilling or unable to do it yourself:

libel per se n. broadcast or written publication of a false statement about another which accuses him/her of a crime, immoral acts, inability to perform his/her profession, having a loathsome disease (like syphilis), or dishonesty in business. Such claims are considered so obviously harmful that malice need not be proved to obtain a judgment for "general damages," and not just specific losses. (See: defamation, libel, slander)

[fstsix]

Now you jump to the conclusiuon that I am a "fearful liberal" here when you have ZERO evidence of any such thing. This is some good stuff   HOW ABOUT A PICTURE OF YOU AND YOUR VALK!! before you think anyone here can take  you serious with a Name like "NUTS" Here this should keep you busy. http://www.google.com/search?client=firefox-a&rls=org.mozilla%3Aen-US%3Aofficial&channel=s&hl=en&source=hp&q=Snopes+exposed+&btnG=G

I'm blaming NewsMax. For all the money they spend despensing the "truth", they are not reaching enough people. Nutz, all you need to do for enlightenment and a place as a member of the "truth" orchestra is to turn off your spam filter.
