Anti-Jewish

To be fair, I have not seen Splinx exhibit any signs of being anti-Jewish in his own statements, but he, like Lindy, is often less-than-vigilant about picking and examining his sources.

I post a lot of conservative quotes and references, and I have to be careful as well. A Google search looking for a critique of the U.N., for example, will pop up items from a number of right-wing kook sites as well as more moderate conservative ones. Ideally, any reference can be eventually tracked to its original source, which is always best, and then one can judge the reference based on that.

We don't get to pick our "fellow travelers" on the Internet, but we don't need to promote them either.
