A conservative I am debating linked to an WND article that Hezbollah has offered help to promote F9/11 and that Michael Moore has accepted. Said conservative is challenging people to prove him and his source wrong.

I suppose I should go down to the county jail, find the worst criminal I could find, slip him 5 dollars, and ask him to say "I support George Bush". Then I can post "Criminals support Bush!"
This prick your dealing with has it the other way around - he should prove his assertion before you have to disprove it - logic 101.

6. The burden of proof lies with the one making an exceptional claim |
|
Demand that your conservative buddy demonstrate, to your satisfaction, the truth of these outrageous allegations. At the very least, printing a charge that Michael Moore accepted such a promotion amounts to libel on the part of WND, if it is not true.

7. A bit off topic but you can reply |
|
that Hezbollah also liked and offered to promote The Passion because it portrayed Jews in a bad light.

4. worldnetdaily.com should be a good place to start |
|
the debunking. They are worthless and make Drudge look like the only news fit to print. :)
