You do realize that using Factcheck.org here is "going nuclear." If every time someone posted some "fact," it coulkd be disputed using Facctcheck.org, half the banter here would be chilled.
Neither side can dispute Factcheck.org because its absolutely unbiased. I believe it was founded with the directive that it could never take a viewpoint and would be a debate settling instrument.
Funny how you rarely see either the left or the right cite to it.
I predict two things will happen if people start using Factcheck.org here. The right will cobble together nonsense articles from Newsmax.com (Richard Mellon Scaithe's blog, basically) claiming that Factcheck is left leaning. The left will claim Factcheck's stats are incomplete, and cite some pile of rubbish criticism of Factcheck's data as support for that position.
One thing Factcheck will do is pretty much expose the horseshit coming from the "Admin can do no wrong" crowd.
