Bucco - "a bit out of line"?

Come on..

Everything in that post was wrong. He said you'd have to pay $3800 tax on selling a $100K house and that it would kill seniors.

Wrong on all counts.

He didn't know about the $500K exclusion. Said it was a sales tax..

He also didn't answer my question about where he heard it and why he didn't check it out.

At the very least, he's reporting misinformation.

More likely, he's being played as a puppet by people who know that, when they put something outlandish out there, there is a percentage of the reader base that will just run with it regardless and do more of their dirty work for them.

I would LIKE to believe that he's NOT the one responsible for the lies in the first place.

And what was his response? Repeating ANOTHER lie about how George Soros supposedly runs Snopes. Did he check that?

Well, he certainly didn't check Snopes:

snopes.com: About the people behind snopes.com

and Fact.Org also confirmed who runs Snopes:

FactCheck.org : Snopes.com

Look.. I'm almost 50 years old. In that time, sometimes I've found out I've been wrong about a few things. I've had my opinions influenced when new FACTS come to play.

I confess I have a hard time in understanding how some people can cling to lies. As best as I can tell, they'd rather be thought of as 'wrong' than be embarrassed.
