@evildave They NEVER realize the hypocrisy, so it has to be some other reason. My favorite was praying to the golden bull on wallstreet during the crash.

@reynard That’s you betcha!

I guess I’m just paranoid these days. I see and hear all of these wingnut pundits (Limbaugh, Beck, etc.) spout all sorts of batshit insane crap with few challenges, and I’m starting to find it harder and harder to tell what’s neutral (let *alone* factual!) and what isn’t. Am I worried? You bet!

Leave it up, take it down, I don’t care.

If it’s moved, it will be to a more prominent location. Probably even paraded around, like that Ten Commandments rock.

That’s a side-annoyance. There used to be pictures of people praying at the Ten Commandments rock (i.e. idolatry, #2) on the web, but most of those pictures have vanished. Possibly the religious folks that had them up finally realized the hilarious hypocrisy involved. That would be a fine addition to this site, assuming I can find one.

Maybe I’m missing something but I don’t really see any bias. The video was the origin of the article so I don’t count that part.

Whoa! I had to do a double-take when I saw that Snopes article. Generally, they stick to the facts and try to keep the politics out; but that article looks like it was written by a Republican political hack! (And that video didn’t help my impression either…) Whether that “monument”* stays or goes doesn’t really make too much difference to me personally, but for a supposedly “neutral” website that many of us use to get valuable information from (i.e. whether that e-mail that you got from Aunt Gladys contains legitimate information or is part of a scam/fraud) to let an article be written in such a politically slanted manner makes me wonder if it’s going to let — or has, indeed, already let — other articles fall victim to such contamination.

*Personally, I think it barely qualifies as such.
