Are you disputing the validity of the Snopes link as well as the link from the FL Utilities Facebook Page?
Yes, I am.

SNOPES is known to be biased......


Compare their analysis of the Obama/Ayers connection with truthorfiction.com's analysis of the same subject. Snopes minimizes the connection, categorizing the rumor as a "Partial Truth," while truthorfiction calls it a "Truth" and, in fact, references a CNN expose of the two, as well as a Wall Street Journal article about their connection. Snopes not only does not reference either source cited above, but instead, lists a quote from an Obama spokesman as its main source.

snopes.com: Barack Obama and Bill Ayers

Barack Obama and William Ayers-Truth!

Another comparison of Snopes vs. Truthorfiction is their treatment of the email regarding "Obama's 50 lies." Snopes adds editorial comments favoring Obama on unproven statements or even on proven ones where the comments are that he is "taken out of context."

snopes.com: Obama's 50 Lies / Obama Not Exactly

Obama Lies?-Truth!, Fiction!, and Unproven!

There are other things that they list as false, even though Youtube has videos of Obama or others actually making the statements.

I ask again.

Are the cited sources used in the Snopes article false?

What about the facebook page?

hopefully we have to endure only a day or two more of this "partisan lying drivel" spamming the board. After the election is over, what on earth would motivate someone to average about 40 posts per day bashing Obama.....or what ($$$$) would motivate someone to make 79 posts in ONE DAY which included links and quotes negative of Obama? Gee, I'd need a research team in order to make 79 posts in one day with links, etc., included!!

Interesting. I've noticed for a long time that they are left leaning on a lot of issues, especially when they attempt to defend a charge.

If they are Obama supporters that would explain it.

My cousin is in a union in NYC and involved with the cleanup. Says he stands to make a boatload of money too.
Also says there's some funky stuff going on with working from out of state help.
He's no one of any importance and won't speak up because, well because you don't turn on the union or you'll never work another day in that city.

He says it's just not right what's going on up there. Helping to restore services to the people is NOT #1 priority with some.

truthorfiction.com is a much more reliable site for this type of thing and it doesn't "editorialize" in it's analysis.
