Bishop Hedd Posted July 30, 2009 Share Posted July 30, 2009 I'm just curious how you consider the Drudge Report to be a place of made up stories, lies and deceit when what he primarily does is post links to other stories. Do you find his occassional headline links to be lies or deceitful? I mean, unless I'm missing a part of Drudge, I don't see how posting those links makes them the originator of made-up stories, lies and deceit. Please explain. And note, I'm not defending Drudge Report. I'm just curious what you think he's doing that I'm not seeing. Please tell me you're joking! Do you ever think he is highly selective when he posts his headline? Do you think his sources from time to time are slightly suspect? Nevermind..

DC Tom Posted July 30, 2009 Share Posted July 30, 2009 Nice, Not a clue. "Incorrect". You can jumble words, but only to a certain degree. Basically, if you mix up letters but keep them in the same syllable, and keep the first and last letters the same, the brain can generally recognize it. Thus, the brain can recognize "inrcocert" as "incorrect" (basically, it sees a three-syllable word, beginning with i and ending with t, with reasonably correct letters in they syllables), but won't recognize "tcrcnreio". It helps, too, to add context - "That is an inrcocert statement" is clearer than simply saying "inrcocert". It's called "chunking" (or at least it was when I took Psych 101), how the brain remembers and retreives related information as a single unit.

You can take a paragraph or an entire page from a book, remove lots of prepositions and other words and the brain will gladly fill in the sentences for you.

That is one reason I rarely pick on someone for typos. I mean, everyone can read it and generally get the drift of what they are trying to say. It may be poorly thought out and lame, but still understandable even when pretty badly mangled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PromoTheRobot Posted August 5, 2009 Share Posted August 5, 2009 Faked kenyan birth certificate. Birthers won't believe anything...EXCEPT a faked Kenyan birth certificate that Orly Taitz is throwing around. Turns out it is a doctored Australian certificate of a man who lives in Perth. C'mon, Birthers! If you are going to forge documents make the effort to make them look legit. The fact that an ex-commie ruskie whack job like Orly Taitz is the face of this movement is ironic and scary all at once. PTR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StupidNation Posted August 5, 2009 Share Posted August 5, 2009 While Taitz is insane, the questions raised by others aren't so crazy. They are using her a lightning rod for insanity, when in fact there are questions that need answers, and they aren't being answered and the media has stayed away from these questions. Did Our Glorious Leader use a student visa? If so that shows he didn't have citzenship at the time which would voice natural born citizenship. Did he have citizenship in other countries? If so the "natural born citizen" requirement can be argued to be void. I think the people who argue he wasn't born in Hawaii are a distraction from questions that need answers. Taitz on the other hand has thrown so much fake crap on the wall it makes the questions seem insane. Asking questions and wanting evidence is normal. Now the mere questioning is being considered insane, and ridicule over evidence is now the solution. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StupidNation Posted August 5, 2009 Share Posted August 5, 2009 I would never have guessed that you were a birther. Keep fighting the good fight, you're doing god's work. No, I want concerns addressed. I believe Obama was born in Hawaii. Like I said ridicule trumps asking questions. My questions were did he use a student visa? I don't know, did he? Did he really have citizenships other than the U.S that required him to renounce his U.S one? I don't know. The very fact the media has played this into crazy-land instead of investigating makes me believe it more, not less. Yet the mere question is driving idiots like you insane. It's like someone asking if the gov't actions after 9/11 were done to foist perpetual war in the Middle East and it was prepared. Well it looks like those people may have been right. I only ask for clarification. But pretend I'm saying things I'm not if it makes you feel smarter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IDBillzFan Posted August 5, 2009 Share Posted August 5, 2009 I would never have guessed that you were a birther. Keep fighting the good fight, you're doing god's work. The reality is, this is a ridiculous thing to yell about, and the left is outstanding at taking someone like Taitz, pointing at the crazy person, and then labeling everyone and anyone who questions Dear Leader Obama as an extremist birther. It's bad for the right and I really wish the wackos would just knock it off. Anyone who follows politics at all knows that if there was anything being hidden in regards to Obama's birth, Hillary would have found it and exposed him a long time ago.

You mean the 60% of the party that won't denounce it and allow it to go on, or half of the Republican Congress that won't denounce it and allow it to keep going on?

Those are the "wackos" we're talking about, right? I think it's a wacko thing to yell about. I think it's a waste of time. And I think it gives the Obama administration what they want; something else to use as yet another "label" for the people who disagree with his presidency, because they can (and do) point and say "Oh, those wacky right wing extremist teabagging astroturfing birthers." Gibbs is great at this grade-school trash talking. And I don't put much into "denouncing" anything because that's simply a ridiculous political way of poisoning the well of your competition. I got nothing out of Obama denouncing Rev. Wright and I'd get nothing if this "60% of the party" or "half the Republican Congress" you refer to denounces it. It's stupid, and I don't need people denouncing it for me to figure out on my own that it's stupid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
