[QUOTE="Cute Tink, post: 69934225, member: 5363"] I have no reason to dispute whether a certain individual funds Snopes or not. Given that Snopes gives their rationale every time for the reader to peruse I think is a mark in their favor. However, the OP is a cut and paste with no source. Snopes, however, points out that there is a challenge on this subject from 2010 (old news) from World Net Daily, a source that doesn't have the strongest trustworthy rating either. The OP doesn't actually link to the Snopes article they are disputing, which I find interesting as well. I'll allow [URL='http://www.snopes.com/info/notes/kagan.asp']Snopes to speak for themselves[/URL] though and you can take it with however much salt you wish. It's really no issue of mine whether you trust their veracity, but I have found them rather informative in taking down Facebook rumor posts like the [URL='http://www.snopes.com/photos/natural/northpole.asp']moon at the North Pole[/URL], [URL='http://www.snopes.com/photos/bugs/camelspider.asp']giant camel spiders[/URL] and other such urban legends.
