Popups from Snopes get through my popup blocker, and they are the only ones that do. Now I know why! Will not be going to their site in the future.

I will just delete every email now touting anything that I feel I should check out on Snopes thanks.

I can’t believe it! Wasn’t that site started by one lady, who researched and wrote most of the entries herself? What does she think of all this? Did Zango feed her a line about what their stuff actually is, so she thinks they’re selling legit software, or is there something more sinister here?

Alex Eckelberry said snopes.com is highly reputable in his complaint that snopes is funded by adware. Should I be doubtful of the truth from snopes as this e-mail suggest?

Subject: Doubt the truth from Fact Finder and Snopes!
The web sites Fact Finder and Snopes are funded in large part by moveon.org,
mainly funded by our good “friend” and Top Socialist DNC contributor
George Soros! Now I wonder why they debunked the Obama family tree article?
Americans working for Soros, debunking the truth to other Americans to further
the Soros .org groups cause! In times past they called these Americans “Traitors” and hung them! Sounds good to me! Hang’em high matey, yarrrr!

It came from George Soro’s mouth in an inteview on CNN as he toured Pier 39
in San Francisco last week. Now I know that doesn’t mean the webs are
knowingly answering unfactual when actually fact, BUT in any reasonable minded
persons back of their mind they would use these sites wth as much caution as
any other website like we have always heard from our peers,”You can’t believe everything you read on the web!”

Hmmm. I wonder if they got wind of your blog. I’m a regular user of snopes but haven’t had any issues because what my pop up blocker doesn’t catch I can get out of fairly easy.

I went there today to read a new store (I have their feed on my home page) and the pop ups appear to be gone. Hmmmm, indeed.

You are the master, sir. I wanna be a ninja when I grow up!
