    I read the debunking of this a couple of weeks ago on Marshall's blog.

    When Spencer is wrong, he is spectacularly wrong, but he is not always wrong. His motivations are his concern, not mine. I read all over the blogosphere. That does not mean I believe everything I read. One of the things I do is look for links that will back up any claim made in a post and I try to look for another perspective. For example, I often read MuslimMatters and Islam Online. What I will not do is adopt ANY group's or individual's party line about what is acceptable to read and what is not.

    Objectivity demands accessing all sources, as long as one recognizes that specifically her, in the USA,  you have a multiplicity of poisoned sources masquerading as objective and caring (ESPECIALLY the supposed "authoritative" sources).  If you do not have real time experience, in this atmosphere and in the shadow of wars of choice and the concomitant "information" that accompanies such, than do not be surprised if people with that real time experience dismiss your "informed opinions."  A great portion of the "information" available here can be compared to the slave trade manuals available by the local Antebellum Slavery Society in the South.
