For the longest time, I've been getting stories and tall tales forwarded to me by friends and acquaintances. Most of these seem to be directed at disparaging anything that could be identified as liberal or left leaning. Some of the tales involved items such as “The Stella Awards” for out of control jury awards, “Paul Harvey’s the rest of the Story”, about how Ms Clinton defended some Black Panthers in the sixties, etc. I started researching these on a site called snopes.com, and came to find out most are pure fiction.
I started sending links back to the individuals passing along these pieces of fiction to show what the facts didn’t support the stories and came to realize that they weren’t interested in the truth. Really pissed a few of them off. Guess they thought I was making fun of their dumb ass for believing everything they read.
I know the members of this board are not as gullible as some of my (former?) friends. Does anyone else get tired of receiving bullshit stories from people who just forward everything they receive?
