No, just when I know it'll piss him off :) Usually when something like this is posted by a biased group pretending to be a reputable organization having facts when nothing but theories exist, I like to rub his nose in it. :) > Link 1 is one curmudgeon's opinion, and I don't see any qualifications > that say I should believe him Yes it's an opinion but it's a common sense one. Since we don't have solid proof either way we can apply common sense. > Link 2 refers to a totally different group and an entirely different > report over a year old It's still very relevant. > Link 3 takes me to the main page of spinsanity but if you are > referring to the article on Kyoto, *it* dates back to 2001..... Maybe you clicked it wrong :) Try again. Here's a bit of it... Distortion report How the Center for American Progress twists quotations By Brendan Nyhan October 28, 2004 The Center for American Progress and its sister organization, the American Progress Action Fund, are at the vanguard of liberal attempts to regain the initiative in the national political debate. Founded in 2003 with millions of dollars from donors hoping to more effectively counter the Bush White House and conservative groups, CAP relentlessly attacks conservatives and distributes talking points to its ideological allies. Unfortunately, however, the group has also shown a repeated willingness to distort the facts in order to achieve its objectives. In a number of recent cases, CAP has twisted the words of its conservative opponents, misleading thousands of readers of its influential Progress Report newsletter. These tactics show that state of the art spin is increasingly indistinguishable from outright dishonesty. > have a nice day :) Thanks ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Discover CFTicket - The leading ColdFusion Help Desk and Trouble Ticket application http://www.houseoffusion.com/banners/view.cfm?bannerid=48 Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:5:145674 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/5 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:5 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.5 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
