Videos: Clinton, Obama debate in Texas - CNN.com

Thank you for sharing. I have a very hard time believing others who post information on youtube where I cannot immediately find information to verify if it is true or not.

I need scholarly or news worthy proof to take piece by piece everything this young man is saying from credible sources.

Regardless of the comments made on youtube, you have to truly ask yourself when you receive information outside of the traditional news sources whether it is credible or not.

This is purposely why on my blog I do not quote any gossip sites unless I have the gossip backed up by a credible news source such as a major news paper as the New York Times or a television Network as CNN, CSPAN, etc.

Though I know our our media is filtered, I do search for news that is from the BBC or from the Guardian in the UK because I have found those sources to be better at times in reporting what I read here in America.

Example: I had no idea a famous poet's daughter had been murdered here in the USA but I read it in a source from the UK. Leroi Jones aka Amri Baraka's daughter was killed and I could not find a source in the USA at the time that reported it. It took a UK based news source to let me know what had happened and I could not even find news on the local news channels although I live in the New York/New Jersey area. Here is the news report in the NY Times:

My point in all of this is that you have to question your news sources before believing them. That is why you see many links from me from the New York Times as opposed to any other source because I truly trust the integrity of the source and I rely on them to do the fact checking that I cannot do on my own.

There are two websites that I use frequently to fact check:

http://www.snopes.com

http://www.factcheck.org

Though I have not found researched everything which this young man is saying, I will have to decode it more when I have the time and energy and resources to see whether or not it is true.

For me up as an Obama supporter, I will say not to listen to a lot of the hype but I do find it interesting that Obama is related to the Bush family in a distant relative way in this Chicago Sun Times Article here:

But, I am about to blow your mind in a family secret that is never discussed in order to let you know how bogus it is to be related to someone famous. I am a distant distant distant relative of Jesse Jackson by my father's side of the family which I did not know until a few years ago. Knowing this relationship has not changed my state of being nor have I ever been in touch with Jesse Jackson to let him know we are related in a distant relative way.

So this is why I am suspect of revelations like this.

My long winded discussion on this video but I had to hash through all of this to say that I am finding it hard to find the credibility in the video because the sources are not revealed to me of how to fact check everything that is mentioned.

Thank you for sharing.

I haven't watched the movie, The Zeitgeist, so I would have to see what you are discussing but quickly knowing the movie digresses into a discussion of religion especially Christianity and the Bible, please note that the Bible was written by man and not at the hand of God although these supposed hands were anointed with truth.

There are many parts of the Bible that were left out from the popular versions of the Bible that are in circulation now. My Uncle was in the seminary and taught this to me while I looked at him in disbelief. There is a book called the Aprocrypha which is the lost books of the bible.

I will admit my ignorance that I have not read the entire Bible from cover to cover which has always been my life long plan and maybe under the right study group and teacher, I will accomplish this goal.

I know this discussion has again gone off from your question but I want you to know where I am coming from when I am trying to discuss anything dealing with religion.

It would be best for me see this movie before trying to understand where you are coming from but I will and get back to you once I have the time to see it.

Thank you for sharing your thoughts as always.
