No BS you created that?

He added the words Thread backfire. The video was a clip from Amazing Race. Yes, it actually happened.

 

[Pens1566]

Didn't read entire thread, but let me guess ... huge backfire?

Yup, the a "true" quote was from a pamphlet a biographer wrote. So yes its "true" that a former Obama biographer made a false claim.

It's an odd experience watching someone deliberately jump off a cliff.

Keep in mind this result from google:

 

[Chiropteran]

This is kind of amazing. Your original post was shown to be comically false and it's obvious you were duped by conservative media.

My original post was a direct TRUE result from google, with the message "Keep in mind this result from google:"

Which part of it is false? None of it. STFU please with your baseless ramblings.

Who woulda thunk the thread about gumballs would have been the smartest thread posted by the OP?

 

[Chiropteran]

Uhh, or because it requires the reader actually pay attention to what they're reading. There's no 'obfuscation' there. There's a 'claim' 'rating' and 'what's true' which makes 110% sense once you read it. If a person is literally using a dozen words from a google search as their 'news', they deserve what they get.

So you think it's fine for google to report "obama born in kenya" as true based on snopes (without the clarification that snopes was only talking about a book), AND you think it's okay for google to report something false that is demonstrably true as written.

Essentially it sounds like you are fine with snopes and google making up true or false ratings with zero consistency at all. It's kinda scary that so many people rely on google and by default will trust the ratings, given how wrong they can be.

Bowling Green! Never forget!

Bowling Green! Never forget!

Yes, let your hate run through you. You are an emotional creature and you can't understand logic.

I get it, but it means you lose the argument by default. Sorry, those are the rules.

Hate? I have hate? A bit of projection on your part? I don't hate anyone.

Remember Bowling Green!

What does this have to do with Google? What exactly do you think Google is doing?

Great, op doesn't understand web indexing either.

Nex thing you know he will be calling magnets hoaxes.

Google DOESN'T report that Obama born in Kenya is true based on Snopes (without the clarification that snopes was only talking about a book). They report that Obama's literary agent SAID (with the clarification that snopes was only talking about a promotional list) that he was born in Kenya

It's right there in your OP.
Obama's Literary Agent Says Obama was born in Kenya?
" Claim: A 1991 literary client list promotional list identified Barack Obama as having been born in Kenya
Fact Check by Snopes.com: true."

Neither Google nor Snopes.com made up anything at all.

 

[soundforbjt]

And that's the scary part.

No, the scary part is they always vote in every election from local on up.

OP may I suggest you just say you made a mistake and back away.

Ha! The latter part, maybe, but it'll be a cold day in hell before the first one happens.

 

[FIVR]

OP you've unleashed the liberals rancorous hatred upon yourself by pointing out their lies. But do not despair, for you are a success. You are a martyr for truth, and in your struggle you have shown us all the meaning of loyalty and, of course, discernment. Godspeed OP.

because drumpfers don't own up to shit! it's obama/hillary/someone else's fault

The query is "obama born in kenya".

Nothing about his agent or book or anything else. For a rational person, if you ask a question and someone supplies additional information and says "TRUE" the natural assumption is that the answer is your question is true.

Most people won't click the link or look at the fine print.

 

[Chiropteran]

Then there is the other end of the spectrum, where the query is absolutely true, but instead you get a false result because snopes adds additional false assumptions which were not even part of the original claim. It's a textbook straw man argument.

^The liberals have been manipulating google search results for years! It's part of their secret FAIR N BALANCED malware suite they've pre-installed on the intel Management Engine, which allows it to serve as a permanent pre-installed rootkit to all PCs sold in the US. This is what is causing these strange results, OP.

Please point out the lie in easy to understand words that don't include any mention of "liberals" or any derivatives because that is not needed for a direct question like I am asking of you.

This is like asking a question, and walking away when the person is five words into their answer.
Not the behavior of a rational person who actually wants the answer to their question.

Oops we posted simultaneously. I just don't know what to say here other than us liberals like to break up big companies but we tend to get stymied by big business Republicans

*wouldn't a different search engine have different results?

*Why would MS add a root kit for an obvious competitor?

*Wouldn't Linux or OSX yield different results?

*Wouldn't a mobile OS yield different results

*Wouldn't someone with a non partisan point of view expose this

*MS & Google have to have dissatisfied employee's how come none have ratted them out?
