This is an article from the Minneapolis Star Tribune, the newspaper of record in Omar’s district and certainly a sane and credible source: as I noted upthread they have won 6 Pulitzer Prizes, including two as recently as 2013.

Really taking that “fighting ignorance” credo to heart, eh? :rolleyes:

I never said they wouldn’t! :smack: Did you really miss my point that badly? I stated it pretty clearly: the crazies well never give up regardless of what evidence is proffered, but people who could go either way will no longer listen to the crazies once evidence is provided to definitively refute an allegation.
