SNOPES: Heavily financed by Geo. Soros

"Snopes is heavily financed by George Soros, a big time supporter of Obama! In our Search for the truth department, we find what I have suspected on many occasions. I went to Snopes to check something about the dockets of the new Supreme Court Justice. Elena Kagan, who Obama appointed, and Snopes said the email was false and there were no such dockets. So I Googled the Supreme Court, typed in Obama-Kagan, and guess what? Yep, you got it; Snopes Lied! Everyone of those dockets are there. "

Read the comments below the story. It was backtracked. Not that it matters to me one way or the other, Snopes is more about vetting urban legends and fake e-mails, and I've never used it to evaluate political stuff. I'd sooner ask my dentist about hemorrhoids.

I always take that site with a barrel of salt as to validity.

They're just people, too.

But if they are taking Soros' money . . .

Doesn't that make them "bad" people?

On the contrary, when one sells out to someone like Soros,

the 'test' is how much mud you are willing to sling about,

when you're out wallering around in the pig stye . . .if it sticks - you get a bonus.



Just about anyone will lie for free - so they don't have to be bought.

Kagan was representing Obama in all the petitions to prove his citizenship. Now she may help rule on them. Folks, this is really ugly.
Chicago Politics and the beat goes on and on and on. Once again the US Senate sold us out! Now we know why Obama nominated Elana Kagan for the Supreme Court. Pull up the Supreme Courts website, go to the docket and search for Obama. She was the Solicitor General for all the suits against him filed with the Supreme Court to show proof of natural born citizenship. He owed her big time. All of the requests were denied of course. They were never heard. It just keeps getting deeper and deeper, doesn't it? The American people mean nothing any longer. -Fr.

Once again: They say they are not taking Soros money.
So all you have is a He said/She said situation going on and until it is proven they do rather than just insinuated (like the opening article linked to does), I take them at what they say.

WHY?


What makes their 'word' any more valid than his?

Because it's snopes and we know 'they' wouldn't lie . . . OR

if you read it on the internet, is HAS to be true!

Get real.

Snopes is the arbiter of truth. Get over it and move on.

When I use a factcheck site it is usually Factcheck.org. But that is just my starting point than I do my own research.

This. It amounts to nothing more than a witch hunt (or typical partisan lies). We remember how well that turned out a couple hundred years ago, yeah? Now if they can dig up PROOF of this, I'm all ears.

It's also pretty annoying when conservatives call anyone and anything that doesn't 100% agree with them "liberal". All the while yelling and screaming that Fox isn't slanted to the right.

NOne uses factcheck, snopes,wiki ect. It's better to be wrong than lied to. Thing is, we can expect anything as the Truth when it comes to Obama and his regime. I dought anyone can find something good about the creep.
