1. WND has no credibility to begin with.
They are self debunking.

3. a conservative
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.

5. Stupid RW canards
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. :)
