3. It's been reported as innacurate almost as many times. (at best it would be hear-say)
4. ***** Bush - kilooneniner, on 10/11/2007, -36/+323I guess he forgot the oath he made when he took office: "I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States."
Someone should tell Bush to quit throwing that Commander-in-Chief ***** in their face cause it's just a goddamned title. - Aidenag, on 10/11/2007, -7/+146A. This is an old story as Diggtatorship mentioned..
B. It's not true.. Im a die hard liberal, who cant stand bush and believe me its not accurate..
This quote came from CapitolHillBlue which for a time was a pretty popular news site. That is until the owner admitted his most used and trusted source(the one who said bush made this remark) turned out to be 100% FAKE... The guy doesnt even exsist..
Google CapitolHillBlue+ Terrence J. Wilkinson(the fake source) to see for yourself. - pdeco, on 10/11/2007, -10/+975. Profit.
- masamunecyrus, on 10/11/2007, -4/+66This quote has gone around the internet so many times in the short two years that it's been around, but it LACKS A SOURCE:
http://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/George_W._Bush#Misattributed - jstohler, on 10/11/2007, -21/+67This confirms what everyone has always suspected.
- kazamx, on 10/11/2007, -8/+52The key piece of that speach is "to the best of my ability". GWB is totally incompetent
- Magillicutti, on 10/11/2007, -6/+38I came here to see if anybody mentioned his oath. The article should have too.
- SPECOPS, on 10/11/2007, -12/+38I hope all of you did your digg duties and buried this as inaccurate (if you know it is) instead of just commenting that it is.
- inactive, on 10/11/2007, -4/+29Nicely done. Reported as Inaccurate.
- JimmyTheClam, on 10/11/2007, -9/+34Inaccurate - Buried
- jennamalia, on 10/11/2007, -2/+26Also, the authenticity, authority, and credibility of the "Guerrilla News Network" source is somewhat, umm, dubious, to say the least.
The specific quotations listed in the article aren't confirmed by any other reputable, mainstream news source. - tehbishop, on 10/11/2007, -7/+29Big Anti-Busher here, Buried as Inaccurate.
- MrKrinkleDude, on 10/11/2007, -6/+28Blog spam from 2005.
- davenp35, on 10/11/2007, -8/+30My thoughts are you posted a known lie about Bush. Burried as innacurate!
- scubasteve377, on 10/11/2007, -2/+23Good call. As much as I hate Bush, you can't believe a god damned word you read from the Capital Hill Blue. Total ***** posing as a legitimate news outlet. Makes Faux News look like responsible journalists.
- masamunecyrus, on 10/11/2007, -1/+21"A list of stories reporting it as inaccurate would be useful"
It came from this site:
http://www.capitolhillblue.com/artman/publish/article_7779.shtml
Then, the author of the news article issued a full retraction of the story:
http://www.truthout.org/docs_03/071003K.shtml
And then the site that published it issued a full apology:
http://omnipotentpoobah.blogspot.com/2005/12/great-big-cup-of-mea-culpa.html - Spacecow, on 10/11/2007, -3/+21Disagree with the guy all you like, but don't make ***** up and present it as news. This just cheapens politics.
- inactive, on 10/11/2007, -5/+22Don't you realize that if Bush had really said that, it would be on every newscast and every front page in the world???? But there are people who are gullible enough to believe trash like this on some obscure, Bush-hating Web site.
- zanekessie, on 10/11/2007, -3/+19How come everyone KNOWS this is old and fake, and yet for some reason this lame entry is getting dugg?
- Bdog2g2, on 10/11/2007, -4/+19did he have his fingers crossed?
- themastersb, on 10/11/2007, -3/+17It's just a piece of paper.... which is supposed to put you in your place!
- esotericguy, on 10/11/2007, -3/+17dugg for #4
- esbern1, on 10/11/2007, -8/+21groan. old and proven not fact.
- funkedup, on 10/11/2007, -5/+17my grandslam was supposed to come with sausage.
- fsjonsey, on 10/11/2007, -10/+22OLD ***** IS OLD, AND FAKE.
I love nutty liberals, they only give a ***** about the constitution when changes are made that THEY dont agree with. - Firehed, on 10/11/2007, -4/+16Because digg has so much influence in the political arena? Don't kid yourself.
- bigjimslade, on 10/11/2007, -8/+18Opinion: the article was written for a specific audience, and they're eating it up. ***** tends to sit around *****.
Inaccurate. - anarchytv, on 10/11/2007, -3/+13Even though this is fake, its funny someone is digging this every second and filling up painting the digg spy wall entirely with it. What next, shoes on the head? Nice.
- polymorphist, on 10/11/2007, -5/+15Vids or it didn't happen.
Anyone? - Crossmenjeff, on 10/11/2007, -10/+20i am sworn to protect the constitution of the united states, not the president, not the republican party, not the democrats. if he proves to be an enemy of the constitution, he faces the military and anyone else who takes that oath to heart.
- RunLikeTheWind, on 10/11/2007, -0/+10Tell someone what he wants to hear and he will seldom ask for proof.
- JimmyTheClam, on 10/11/2007, -5/+14In other words: "fake but accurate"?
Most Diggers are morons. - ryansmith18, on 10/11/2007, -5/+14Please, don't blame the entire party based on the actions of Bush. Your average republican doesn't think of the constitution as "a goddamned piece of paper."
- tehpwnrate, on 10/11/2007, -1/+10...that people will believe anything they read without bothering to check the facts?
- pictureDIGGER, on 10/11/2007, -1/+9I second that. I don't know why you are getting dugg down. Ron Paul does not believe 9/11 was an inside job, he believes all the facts should be declassified and a new investigation opened. I don't know why in the world anybody would be against a new investigation. It would cost less money than we spend in Iraq in a month I'd imagine, which some uneducated Americans believe the war in Iraq was somehow caused by 9/11. Which it WASN'T!
- PopcornDave, on 10/11/2007, -1/+9Doubtful. There's too many co-eds missing on tropical islands, pregnant mothers missing and children abducted every day to ever get something like that in to the media cycle. Besides, isn't Survivor starting up again soon too? And Beckham is going to be playing soccer in LA soon. How in the world would they find the space to report political news?
- Aidenag, on 10/11/2007, -1/+8Umm hello, im a liberal, and im the one who pointed out this is fake... Quit with the partisan crap.... Both sides have nutjobs.. U and Gwolf seem to be at least.
- Bdog2g2, on 10/11/2007, -1/+8much like the story that resurfaced on digg about a week ago where the courts ruled that Clinton could not use executive privilege to keep an aid from testifying.
- Spacecow, on 10/11/2007, -4/+11The only conclusion that can be made is that the majority of digg users are woefully, stunningly, radiantly ignorant, and don't bother to look into stories at all before hitting the digg button because of knee-jerk reactions.
I guess digg is a microcosm of the world (or at least the US) after all... - gameforge, on 10/11/2007, -2/+9The article mentions it: "Every federal official - including the President - who takes an oath of office swears to 'uphold and defend the Constitution of the United States.' "
Full article: http://www.capitolhillblue.com/artman/publish/article_7779.shtml - PopcornDave, on 10/11/2007, -2/+8No, blame both parties for that kind of attitude. Congresswoman Ellen Tauscher compared the constitution to a little red dress she owned. She said that they were both old and out of style.
It's both parties that are so drunk with power they'll come back as zombies to try to wrest power from the people if we ever get rid of them. If any schools in America did a halfway decent job of teaching a civics class anymore we'd have a few less problems. - kaelyiesta, on 10/11/2007, -1/+7After googling all the controversy over authenticity, and confirming that this is indeed at best heresay and ***** at worst, I added one more site to my black list. Lying is the worst thing journalists can do. It makes us unsure of what to believe and that is exactly what leads to inaction. In short: ***** capitolHillBlue
- mtrip, on 10/11/2007, -2/+7Digg has now officially undermined my faith in democracy. The fact that this story is STILL not buried as inaccurate speaks volumes about how much diggers care for truth and accuracy in reporting.
For diggers, the only truths are those that agree with your biases and everything else is by definition false. - bubbagump, on 10/11/2007, -4/+9Lie?
- inactive, on 10/11/2007, -1/+6Digg is retarded.
- Bdog2g2, on 10/11/2007, -5/+10more like
"Grandpa, the US used to be democratic?"
"Damnit, boy I told you not to use that word. The police are going to lock you up if you keep using it." - pacman122, on 10/11/2007, -5/+10I'll believe ya when me ***** turns purple and smells like rainbow sherbet.
- mtrip, on 10/11/2007, -1/+5So the ends justify the means? As long as it serves the "cause," anything goes, even outright lies in journalism. You should be ashamed of yourself.
- Habemus, on 10/11/2007, -1/+5Digg = gullible, naive, stupid, ignorant, and lame. Any others?
