Dear Vamma Fact-Checker:

Once again the links you offer to create a facade of support for your positions are meaningless. For how many months have you been doing this?

You are nothing more that a snake-oil salesman offering a too-good-to-be-true product to common folk.

I present your claim, "There is ample evidence indicating the oil industry is complicit in commandeering a misinformation campaign to dispute global warming." There is not a single word in any on the Internet links you provide that supports your assertion. Your strategy is to throw out leftist talking points and offer an e-link for assurance, knowing full well that the occasional reader who chooses to check your "facts" will be left to search for a needle in the haystack to prove you wrong.

This isn't the first lie you've told, but honestly I've got better thinks to do than be the fact-checkers fact checker. When you type this garbage do you use both hands or is one free to deal with your Freudian issues?

Your tactics are disgraceful, get a life!

Story Cont.......... However

Story Cont..........

However the most disturbing evp I got there was in the dinning room. Here was a voice of the old person that I had felt. I had left the tape recorder on the table and after a long silence I had picked up on 2 evps in that room

You can hear an old person begging to help me die

This evp was very loud and clear once again you can hear a old person yelling for help but she calls me Elizabeth She said “Help me woman…Elizabeth

I had left my tape recorder on the 3 floor. This is where I had picked up a man saying mam to me when I was there. When I listened to the recorder that I had left there, I heard a gruff sounding man saying I’m coming. This was the only voice I picked up on the tape. You can hear me coming shortly after this voice to pick up the tape

After hearing the voices on the tape recorder I had tried to make an appointment to return to the building with my group. My goal was to do a complete investigation, and to help the spirits cross over. Mike is very closed mined and refused to listen to the evps I sent him. Even though I would like very much to help the spirits, I must respect other’s beliefs on this matter. Perhaps, when the spirits are ready they will make themselves known to the people there and perhaps then I will be given the chance to help them cross over.

Would have added epfactchecker, but I'm not a national newscaster; I'm blogging. By that definition I occasionally express my opinion outright. Something these guys don't do. Though maybe they (all) should. Are you offended because the two listed are from the liberal media? Bill, the forum/blog is not from the left, as I'm sure you noticed. We really try to expose everyone.

Kirsty MacColl's song, "Walking Down Madison"....

Walking down Madison - I swear I never had a gun
No I never shot no-one - I was only having fun
Walking down Madison - swear I never had a gun
I was philosophizing some
Checking out the bums

See you give 'em your nickels, your pennies and dimes
But you can't give 'em hope in these mercenary times, oh no
And you feel real guilty about the coat on your back
And the sandwich you had, oh no

From an uptown apartment to a knife on the A train
It's not that far
From the sharks in the penthouse to the rats in the basement
It's not that far
To the bag lady frozen asleep in the park
Oh no it's not that far
Would you like to see some more?
I can show you if you'd like to

MEDIA SUPPRESSES

MEDIA SUPPRESSES NEWS

Washington Post Suppresses News of Abuse of Clinton Campaigners
Submitted by BoGardiner on Mon, 2008-05-19 14:05.

On the morning of the West Virginia primary, Washington Post Associate Editor Kevin Merida published a blockbuster story about ugly racial incidents experienced by Obama campaign workers that continues to fuel debate.

Media pundits are now using it to prove that “Clinton is willing to ride these biases to the White House.”

Yet, in a startling admission, Merida has revealed that he also knew of similar, if not worse, abuse suffered by Clinton campaign workers, yet chose not to report it.

In an NPR interview with Michele Norris, the following dialogue took place in the last 45 seconds of the five-minute interview entitled “Confronting Bigotry on the Campaign Trail: The Obama Campaign has Chosen Not to Publicicize Incidents of Racial Slurs and Slammed Doors.”

Norris: Do you have any sense as to whether staffers working for Hillary Clinton’s campaign have faced ugly comments, similar resistance, have faced any degree bigotry based on her gender?

Merida: Well, yeah, Michele, that’s a very great point because I also heard from a lot of Clinton supporters that said people have said very misogynistic things. In some ways I think that people find it easier to say “I will not vote for a woman,” than they will say, starkly, that they will not vote for an African-American.

Merida did not explain why, in his story, he suppressed half of the bigotry he uncovered.

Nor did he explain why he omitted news that the Clinton campaign similarly chose not to publicize such incidents.

Norris did not enquire as to the reason for the Post’s suppression.

I'm curious what people

Leah Shaffer — Fri, 16 May 2008 11:31:11 -0500

I'm curious what people think about the "Erik the Bike Man" commercials. Brilliant? Annoying? Brilliant and annoying?
I reserve a special place in my heart for cheesy local commercials. One of my favorites is an ad out of St. Louis for a local liquor shop called "Dirt Cheap."
It's a classic.

I can't find any Erik the Bike Man commercials, so, instead, please enjoy this.

Here's a link about Erik's Bike Shop.

HILLARY TAKES ON MEDIA WHERE

HILLARY TAKES ON MEDIA

WHERE ARE THEY WHEN YOU NEED THEM?

"Clinton campaign memo asks why "presumptive nominee" Obama can't win West Virginia.
WASHINGTON--The Clinton campaign realizes that the Obama team wants to brush aside Tuesday's expected thumping in West Virginia and turn the conversation to all the superdelegates they are collecting. Not so fast, said Clintom memo writers in a "Why West Virginia Matters" brief."

"Given the attempts by our opponent and some in the media to declare this race over, any significant increase in voter turnout, coupled with a decisive Clinton victory, would send a strong message that Democrats remain excited and energized by Hillary’s candidacy," the memo said"

To: Interested Parties
From: Clinton Campaign

Date: Tuesday, May 13, 2008

Re: Why West Virginia Matters

"With a record turnout expected in today’s primary, West Virginia Democrats will make clear who they believe is the strongest candidate to take on Sen. McCain in the Fall."

"The Mountain State is used to picking winners. Every nominee has carried the state’s primary since 1976, and no Democrat has won the White House without winning West Virginia since 1916."

"Democrats carried West Virginia in 1992 and 1996, but lost the state—and the White House--in 2000 and 2004. Hillary has predicted victory against Sen. McCain in West Virginia based on the strength of her economic message."

"In the face of grim poll numbers, the Obama campaign has attempted to dismiss today’s outcome despite the fact that Sen. Obama has outspent us on advertising, has more staff in the state, and more than double the number of offices. "

"He has also benefited from the support of the most high-profile endorsers in West Virginia—Sen. Jay Rockefeller and Congressman Nick Rahall. By every measure, the Obama campaign has waged an aggressive campaign in the Mountain State. "

"Despite being the so-called “presumptive nominee” and benefiting from these advantages, Sen. Obama has been unable to close a significant gap in the polls."

"Sen. Clinton has already won Ohio, Pennsylvania, Florida and Michigan. With a win in West Virginia, Sen. Clinton will have once again proven her greater ability to win in the key swing states."
