Garbage Out
By Mitch Berg
There’s a meme going about – a corruption of “Godwin’s Law”, I think – that says “the first person to refer to Hitler loses”. We’ve been through Godwin’s Law and its various permutations in the past.
But it did bring something to mind.
When I get into rhubarbs with liberals, it’s pretty much an even bet they’ll cite “data” and “sources” from ThinkProgress, a blog project of the Center for American “Progress”.
When this happens, I know (from history, no less) that the argument is over – because “Think” “Progress” is in its entirety baked wind.

Well, that would explain why Doggone and Penigma like to quote it so much.

Ayep.
For all their prate and gabble about “multi-sourcing”, it doesn’t matter if all your sources (“Think” “Progress”, Daily Kos) are baked wind.
