re: #500 austin_blue

My basic position is that people are misinterpreting his comment, which apparently also follows for you misinterpreting my own comment.

Bad people are sometimes factually right about things. That doesn’t mean they’re good people, just that in their corrupt, destructive way, they manage to say that “The Sun is bright”, and be right. From the response he gave on the subject, it would seem that he probably DID sign that thing. Whether he agreed with it or not is another story. What it means is, too. If he didn’t sign it, he would’ve outright said that he didn’t sign it. That the Truthers, as big of asshats as they are, may be right about the physical act of him signing it is not absolutely inconceivable.

I interpret his post as being that, just because a group is insane, doesn’t mean that everything they put out is necessarily a lie just because of that fact. Find out the background on it, the truth, and then dismiss it if it’s false. Warning flags are popping up and should be looked at. That’s it.
