Hobo, you're wrong. Yes, I did get an email. I thought it was interesting. I copied it and posted it. No, I did not check it out with SNOOPS. Why should I?
1) Because right now there are alot of inflammatory and erroneous emails circulating about both candidates.
2) Because recently Double L posted some of the same, that HE found "interesting," and was proved to be gullible.
3) To avoid exactly what happened.

I already have other reasons to believe that Obama is far from the right man for the job.
And that is fine that you have that opinion. I would rather hear YOUR reasons than have to read through the same slanderous emails that I would delete from my email inbox.

Take a look at what I said to start off with, will you? "I GOT AN INTERESTING EMAIL." Nothing either for or against it. So, other than the fact that it was sent to me, I made no comment what-so-ever.
But, combined with your previous posts and opinions, the fact that you found it "interesting," and the fact that you didn't check it out, or add a disclaimer, would lead a rational person to believe you agreed with it or endorsed it.

Yet, you are putting words into my mouth.
No I'm not. When I said you bought it hook, line and sinker.... that is an "opinion" of mine. I didn't claim that YOU wrote the email, or that you said any of those things about Obama. But, posting such a thing under your login without any disclaimer, pretty much means YOU are putting those words in your mouth.

Also, many of you are using SNOOPS as an "INFALLIBLE SOURCE". I don't remember the ocassion, but I do remember that snoops was in error. And, I can not believe that they are able to cover all aspects. So, check it out. See what they say about the CODEX SINAITICUS, and while you're at it, what does it say about the CODEX VATICANUS. See if it says anything about how they compare as to content. Your father was a minister. It should be a topic that you are familiar with.
I, personally did not quote Snopes as a source. But, I went to the snopes link, and all their information was pretty much what I had read and seen elsewhere on this topic. Which is how I knew the email was B.S. to begin with.

So, pick a topic that you should already know about and see how accurate snoops is. Then, transfer that accuracy to what you do not know as much about. How much room for error is there?
Sorry, you lost me here.
BTW, (from your next post,) if Snopes doesn't mention the Codex Sinaiticus, it may well be because there are no such erroneous rumor emails floating around about it, or that no one has asked them about it. Don't really know, and can't speak for them.
