ALERTER'S COMMENTS

bullshit

You served on a randomly-selected Jury of DU members which reviewed this post. The review was completed at Tue Dec 30, 2014, 09:08 PM, and the Jury voted 3-4 to LEAVE IT.

Juror #1 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #2 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Asked and debunked pretty well. Alerter should remember this is a discussion board. We discuss things.
Juror #3 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #4 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Just a question. Alerter is being too sensitive.
Juror #5 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #6 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Nice language, alerter. Dis-qualified!
Juror #7 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: I'm not a fan of keeping *known* falsehoods around.

Thank you very much for participating in our Jury system, and we hope you will be able to participate again in the future.

Like the video about the supposed robery, it appears to be an attempt to convict him after death in the court of public opinion.

I find your question helpful.
When the RW starts a lie - it is believed by a good percentage of the population. We should always be ready to debunk when faced with their lies which means we need to be aware of what they are.

The hoax that said China owns our national parks is believed by quite a few people even though it has been proven to be a hoax perpetrated by a RW idiot.
