Or anywhere else with a modicum of integrity.

[lookout123]

Seems fair, I'd rank those right up there with Drudge.

Bwahahahaha

Nice try HM, but the reality is that those two are as biased as any right wing POS that you apparently detest. The only difference is that you agree with your shit and not the others. You see, from my standpoint, I find them all repulsive and horribly slanted, both to the left and right. There is very little that isn't biased or influenced by one party or the other. I try to read all of what is out there and form my own opinions rather than just drinking the Kool-aid of a chosen party. But hey thats just me.

You might be able to find stuff as ridiculous as that article in the Kos Diary section, as anyone can post anything in there, but I doubt it would get to the main page.

Regardless, If I can't find anything to back up some info I find on Kos, I'll bring attention to that fact if I even still use that info. Usually, if all I can find is Kos, I'll skip it.

The comparison with Drudge is appropriate, as both are primarily aggregators, with a bit of original content. As aggregators, you can usually go to the actual report from the Drudge or Kos link.

So what? That doesn't validate your source.

By that standard, I could post a link to Bush eating orphan children, link to some hippie website, and then respond that "you sure as hell aren't going to find it on townhall.com".

North Carolina — State Board of Elections officials have found at least 100 voter registration forms with the same names over and over again. The forms were turned in by ACORN. Officials sent about 30 applications to the state Board of Elections for possible fraud investigation.

Ohio — The New York Post reported that a Cleveland man said he was given cash and cigarettes by aggressive ACORN activists in exchange for registering an astonishing 72 times. The complaints have sparked an investigation by election officials into the organization, whose political wing has supported Barack Obama. Witnesses have already been subpoenaed to testify against the organization.

Nevada — Authorities raided the headquarters of the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now on Tuesday October 7, 2008, after a month-long investigation. The fraudulent voter registrations included the Dallas Cowboys starting line-up.

Indiana — More than 2,000 voter registration forms filed in northern Indiana’s Lake County filled out by ACORN employees turned out to be bogus. Officials also stopped processing a stack of about 5,000 applications delivered just before the October 6 registration deadline after the first 2,100 turned out to be phony.

Connecticut — Officials are looking into a complaint alleging ACORN submitted fraudulent voter registration cards in Bridgeport. In one instance, an official said a card was filled out for a 7-year-old girl, whose age was listed as 27. 8,000 cards were submitted in Bridgeport.

Missouri — The Kansas City election board is reporting 100 duplicate applications and 280 with fake information. Acorn officials agreed that at least 4% of their registrations were bogus. Governor Matt Blunt condemned the attempts by ACORN to commit voter fraud.

Pennsylvania — Officials are investigating suspicious or incomplete registration forms submitted by ACORN. 252,595 voter registrations were submitted in Philadelphia. Remarkably, 57,435 were rejected — most of them submitted by ACORN.

Wisconsin — In Milwaukee ACORN improperly used felons as registration workers. Additionally, its workers are among 49 cases of bad registrations sent to authorities for possible charges, as first reported by the Journal Sentinel.

Texas — Of the 30,000 registration cards ACORN turned in, Harris County tax assessor Paul Bettencourt says just more than 20,000 are valid. And just look at some of the places ACORN was finding those voters. A church just next door is the address for around 150 people. More than 250 people claim a homeless outreach center as their home address. Some listed a county mental health facility as their home and one person even wrote down the Harris County jail at the sheriff’s office.

Michigan — ACORN in Detroit is being investigated after several municipal clerks reported fraudulent and duplicate voter registration applications coming through. The clerk interviewed said the fraud appears to be widespread.

New Mexico – The Bernalillo County clerk has notified prosecutors that some 1,100 fraudulent voter registration cards were turned in by ACORN.

Where there is that much smoke...

To maintain that ACORN is a) completely unbiased and b) totally innocent is ridiculous.

[TheMercenary]

I wonder if Soro's bankrolls ACORN.

[Urbane Guerrilla]

Merc, quit with the supernumerary tadpole in Soros. I wrote to you about that before. He's not a little black urban girl named Apostrophe!

That much smoke" is perfectly capable of being "That much bullshit".

In other words, massive quantities of accusations do not validate themselves by their sheer volume.

[classicman]

Sure it is TGRR it sure is, It is perfectly capable of being the opposite.

So if I dig up 50 unsubstantiated claims that Bush raped orphan children while using Dick Cheney's colostomy bag as a condom, it's suddenly true or even a possibility by virtue of the amount of said claims?

[classicman]

Personally nothing you would dig up would mean shit to me, but thats just my opinion.
As far as 50 sources, yeh sure. Go find 50 independent sources claiming that Bush raped orphan children while using Dick Cheney's colostomy bag as a condom. Start pulling them up. I'll give them the same credibility I give you or your claim.

Oh and don't forget you'll also need some convictions and an FBI investigation as well.
