That's hilarious. The guy is supposed to be showing how politifact isn't a good judge of truth and he starts off by criticizing their tone instead and finishes the article off by rambling on about the editorials in the paper that have nothing to do with the politifact column. He was defending a statement saying "ACORN could be eligible for up to $8.5 billion in federal funding" which is true in precisely the same fashion that "Tomorrow, Al Queda might renounce violence". Yes, if you take the argument completely out of context and parse it in the most favorable light, the statement is not precisely incorrect. However, when you look at it with any context and realize the assumptions that would have to be made for it to be true in the context of the statement, they are laughably absurd. And that is precisely what Politifact pointed out. Judah ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Want to reach the ColdFusion community with something they want?
