You're right about Snopes, Tango...they're not always right, but usually on points that can easily be looked up on the web and which don't stretch the matrix pattern, they have credibility.
About the rest of your speech...I hope you can understand that I only asked why Waterman didn't mention that the source of his post wasn't himself, which it clearly was not. He then chose to state that he'd never seen this piece, which is now so viral that it's a wonder everyone here hasn't come across it somewhere else by now.
I did not criticize the intent of the post itself...but now I will.
On second reading I see this as the kind of glib, inaccurate, pseudo common sense piece that's written by marketing firms for political agendas. They're released anonymously on the net to appeal to the basest emotional instincts of their audience...in this case Libertarian and conservative blogs and forums. It was intentionally written to be divisive by sneering at Obama and making him the focal point, as if he's doing anything that wasn't already a part of the Bush/NWO agenda. This is exactly how disinformation is spun, and how we're conditioned to believe in left and right wing agendas, when both fully support the same corrupt system.
IMO posting it here was also intended to be a distraction and divisive, which it was. Is there really a need to be sucked into a debate over the merits of VT vs OK? Now you further the distraction by inferring that a question about the source of the text in some way impedes your right to see the information at all.
