If 256 men say something are they truthfull? According Ann Coulter..

[cheshire]

believes it. I told her 256 men say she is a silly girl so it must be so.

1. Welcome to DU

Are you a man? If so, only 264 men more to go...

[cheshire]

6. sorry but does my hubby count? Lol

[cheshire]

9. Thanks for the welcome.

2. Well by that logic, 500,000 said something on Sunday...

on the streets of New York City. That's waaaaaay more than 256.

[RT Atlanta]

3. "They" used to say...

The world is flat;

The sun revolves around the earth; etc.

Just because everyone "knew" it to be true did not make it so.

4. I know at least 350 guys that swear she's a man..

(the adams apple might have something to do with it)

5. Meanwhile, at Bellevue, an inmate says that the people of Jupiter...

are out to get him.

Which is the same level as anything Ann Coulter has to say.

7. Dear Ann, I realize facts are hard for you, but try these:

Number of Viet Nam Era Veterans who can Call Themselves Swift Boat Veterans: 3500
Number of Swift Boat veterans for "Truth": 250 (Not sure exactly the number who truly are SBVs)
Number of Swift Boat Vererans for "Truth" who actually served on the same boat at the same time as Kerry: 1
Number of Times John O'Neill was with John Kerry in Viet Nam: 0

So less than 10% of the possible SBV are outspoken anti Kerry.

8. My statement to her was cleaned up here by a long shot but I

don't want to seem like her. I save those things for those who only understand that is the way the game is played.

[kentuck]

10. I doubt that 256 men knew John Kerry in the whole country of Viet Nam.??

He was on the boat with 5 or 6 men. I've been very suspicious of that 256 number...

[NewYorkerfromMass]

11. It's now several less than 256

given the rate of debunkings.
Albert French, of course, takes the cake with his accusation by proxy: "I believe everything they told me, but I WASN'T THERE!"

[blueknight]

12. yeah,

like the checks in the mail, or i wont leave it in lol. how many men have said that!

[Nay]

13. Well, Anais Nin said:

"If 50,000 people say a foolish thing, it is still a foolish thing."

But then, when do we ever see logical thinking among the Repubs?
