I don't know how old you are but when I was in school we were taught that PRIMARY sources were the most valuable references you can use. When you can get Ron Paul on tape making an important point, that is a primary source!

Which is more credible: my telling you Ron Paul says something or you actually seeing it and hearing it with your own ears???? Hmm?

Sure I can write from here till kingdom come about my ideas -- but if I can provide primary sources to SUBSTANTIATE them, then they hold more water.

I would prefer a transcript to a video.

Why, are you auditorily impaired or something? I think it's much better to see and hear video because then you're exposed to facial expressions, demeanor, etc. Like the video of Mitt stammering his answer about the NDAA, his whole persona screamed 'LIAR' the whole time he spoke.

The problem is when people think that surfing the latest infowars videos or equates to research. I don't think you are making it up, I just think you are gullible and somewhat naive about what "research" consists of.

Says the person who thinks there are agents planted in the forums to intimidate those enlightened few who recognize the evil government conspiracies.

I read faster than most people talk.

EDIT: Also, I like to listen to music and audio interferes with that.

Slack, video clips of news programs, interviews and speeches should have much more credibility than Alex Jones. Do you lump them all together just so you can falsely discredit them, or do you believe there's some big boogeyman behind the scenes distorting them? (Kinda like the 'agents provocateur' you mentioned)
