A question about sources...
Old buddy of mine sends me a reich wing screed on how Hillary Clinton helped Black Panthers get away with murder...

I responded with a links to snopes calling it bogus.

He comes back with how snopes is liberal biased and he always uses truthorfiction.com

I check out truthorfiction, and discover that their sources are such noted non-biased sources as John Elvin of Insight Magazine, '60's radical' David Horowitz, biographies of Ms. Clinton by Hilton, Brock and Roger Morris and Barbara Olson’s Hell to Pay, and Commentator Joseph Farah.

Now, I don't know John Elvin, but I know Insight Magazine is a reich wing rag, David Horowitz was a 60's Stalinist and now a NeoCon Fascist, Brock has denounced his own work on H. Clinton as poorly researched smears, and Barbara Olson was another Reich Wing Ideologue...

And he claims that truthorfiction is "unbiased".

What do I do?

1. Tell him just what you told us, but give more details and
links to justify your comments.

4. That's the link I sent him
which got the reply that snopes was 'liberally biased'.

Here's the link to the 'truthorfiction' site...

5. Looks like you'll have to
kick his ass.

A bi-partisan thumping: The left and right wing.
