Yeah, I'm sure they are... LOL! I realize they're part of what Karl Rove famously derided as the "reality-based community," so I don't really expect you to credit them much. quote:
If Reid could use an anonomyius source, and have people accusing Romney of being a criminal, why can't Minter use an anonymous source to try to sell a book? Miniter is free to write whatever he wants. I'm free to be skeptical of it, as I was of Reid. You're free to sink to the level of your opponents. Ain't freedom grand? quote:
But if VF is such a valid source, what's your opinion on this story? After all, the author is a contributor to VF. I think . . . (a) The story is completely irrelevant to the thread. (b) Vanity Fair doesn't fact-check the Mail, which a number of our UK posters have identified as a source to be taken with much salt. (c) You appear not to have read to the end of the article, which says, "So let’s be clear. Yes: global warming is real, and some of it at least has been caused by the CO2 emitted by fossil fuels. But the evidence is beginning to suggest that it may be happening much slower than the catastrophists have claimed – a conclusion with enormous policy implications." The phrase "beginning to suggest" strikes me as far from conclusive.
