So, I was just recently exposed to a website called Red Alert Politics. Yeah, take a wild guess which way this site leans...
I guess this is a site generated by young conservatives - conservatives under the age of 30. Judging by some of the articles I've read off the site, I'd guess that the average age of Red Alert Politics members are 14.29 years old, with a margin of error of +7.22 years (no, there's no minus).
Some of the recent articles go by the following names: "Bob Costas Continues To Bury Himself Over Anti-Gun Comments," "Anti-Obama Pizzeria 'Hate Crime' Allegation Has No Sauce," "Obama Expected To Push Gun Control In Second Term," "O'Reilly To Stossel: Most College Profs Are Liberal, We Need 'Affirmative Action For Conservative' Profs," etc.
For their "Liar of the Year" award, take a gander at Red Alert Politics' ten nominees:
"Harry Reid
David Axelrod
Joe Biden
Barack Obama
Debbie Wasserman Schultz
Rachel Maddow
Robert Gibbs
Chris Matthews
Stephanie Cutter
Nancy Pelosi"
That's right, folks - the ten biggest liars of the year are all Democrats, five of whom work directly under President Obama (including himself), two of whom are MSNBC talking heads, and the other three of whom are Democrats in Congress.
Am I going to sit here and say that none of these ten individuals have told a lie over the past year? No, of course not. I'll be the first to admit that all ten of them have exaggerated the truth on at least one occasion over the previous 365 days. However, do I feel that it's a tad ridiculous to only list these ten people as nominees for the all too coveted award - especially without providing any evidence to what lies were uttered by these them? Just a tad...
It humors, yet frustrates me to believe that there are some people whom take this site (and others like it) seriously. That'd be like if I created a site called RepublicansSuck.org, listed off ten Republicans for the Liar of the Year award, and pretended like I was unbiased and reputable.
I'll be the first to admit that I'm pretty liberal in my views. However, I'm not going to believe a story on a site called ThinkProgress unless I discover that the same report or claim was made by multiple other reputable news organizations. It'd be nice if more people, whether they be conservative, liberal, or moderate, took time to discover the truth, as opposed to just believing a biased source because they want to believe it.
