1. Please forward to CNN and FoxNews

They don't do fact checking and would be glad to air this news.

[Tiggeroshii]

2. Does this guy get PAID to support these people?

It seems like jsut yesterday he was campaigning with Kerry. Or was that just my bad eyesight?

[trumad]

3. snarf

[NYCGirl]

5. There's always one in any crowd. NT

[Tiggeroshii]

8. Oh shit... Yeah... I uhh fell uhh... i fell

.... for it... :eyes:

[NYCGirl]

14. As a general rule, if something sounds a bit strange,

always be skeptical.

:hi:

[Tiggeroshii]

19. I still have trouble doing that obviously

but I SWEAR I'm working on it! I get harassed by people for my it 24/7, so I'm bound to change! :yoiks:

[miss_kitty]

38. hint

no link. I check for a link now after becoming righteously indignant on the board!

:hi:

[hfojvt]

34. that is a strange sounding general rule

I am not sure I believe it.

I would say to wait for the link, or do a search yourself. Also, make sure the link is not to the Onion or some spoof site.

[Tiggeroshii]

6. I think i'm lost... is this real?

[NYCGirl]

9. No. NT

[coffeenap]

4. Same rumor spread about U2 last night--link or source, please. nt

[trumad]

7. I heard it on CNN

[coffeenap]

17. Ahhh, then it must be true!

:sarcasm:

[DefenseLawyer]

13. These are the jokes, folks.

Try the veal, he'll be here all week.

[bleever]

32. LOL.

Link?


:rofl:

[hiley]

10. what?

any links?

[in_cog_ni_to]

18. It's a joke.

:sarcasm:

However, no one knows Bono's politics, do they? The Santorum story could very well have been true. I would have to assume he's a Liberal just because of his compassion for the poor. JMCPO though. ;)

[hiley]

36. glad it was a joke.

:blush:

[in_cog_ni_to]

11. That ain't EVEN funny!

I love Bruce. :loveya: He would NEVER, EVER, EVER support Santorum.

[trumad]

12. Either would Bono...

[in_cog_ni_to]

22. How do you know? Is he a Liberal? Has he ever said publicly what

his politics are? He has been seen with some sorry people..... Jessie Helms comes to mind. :shrug:

15. Question re: Springsteen:

I remember hearing a kool-aid drinker fundie type being interviewed several years ago who stated that Springsteen was a Vietnam vet. Is this true?

[MnFats]

20. No, he did not serve.

Bruce used to do a great story about how his father told him "the Army's gonna make a man outta you" but he got toasted and failed the physical.
When he got home the old man asked what had happened.
"they didn't take me,' Bruce said.
"Good." said his old man.

Obviously it was more eloquent than that but you get the idea.


"Born in the USA," by the way, is endorsed by most of the Vietnam vets I know, service or no.

[louis-t]

26. Thank you.

[tilsammans]

21. Not true.

He failed his physical.

[LisaM]

27. Can I give him a physical?

I promise that I wouldn't fail him.

[mahina]

16. Maybe my sense of humor is shot but I think lies don't belong here.

It isn't satire to the people who walk away sad and misinformed.

[Tiggeroshii]

23. Well it's good practice for me...

Like it or not, I catch lies on this forum every once in a while and find out jsut a few days later i'm just dang gullible!

I need to start working on my skeptibility mechanism...

[in_cog_ni_to]

25. Sometimes, SOME PEOPLE forget to use there "Sarcasm" tag.

:hi:

[saskatoon]

30. mahina

Good for you, lies have no business here. Too many unsophisticated, young and worthy people just getting on Dem. Und. who could be confused by such crap so cut it out folks.

[cynatnite]

24. And Barbra Streisand is donating her time as well....

She says, 'Ricky's a real man with the moral capital to make sure we all follow his lead'.

Everybody loves Ricky. :smoke:

:rofl:

[dsc]

28. I haven't a clue as to why this should be a joke

and frankly I was considering writing Springsteen to take him to task for this. It is one thing to post satirical pieces but quite another to post out and out lies.

[trumad]

29. It's only a lie to the uninformed...

[Midlodemocrat]

31. Thank God someone picked up that ball!!!!

Poor Rick, having to change performers mid stream.

[LeftyDarthBrodie]

33. My heart stopped for a second

but then I realized this was a joke.

[gizmo1979]

35. Get lost buddy .

[LSK]

37. ummm, i saw this exact same thing except it was U2

I heard that Santorum is just going to be at the concert.

[sendero]

39. What is the point..

... of this bad joke? The point! I'm not laughing!!!!! :nuke:

[DrZeeLit]

40. not even funny..... rethink the caffeine... or whatever you're doing....n/

[madeline_con]

41. I thought U2 got that gig...

:wtf:
