The problem with disputing totally outrageous claims is that <Rush
Limbaugh, etc> can spout off a few hundred in an hour, but to disprove
them takes days of assembling evidence. Don Baccus has the right idea;
force the burden of proof on them, but the radio stations and other media
that air these shows don't demand they support anything they say or name
names of sources.

Besides, to those who want to believe, no proof is necessary and evidence
to the contrary is part of a black-booted, UN-sponsored, government
conspiracy. (Yeah, we can only wish the government was so organized.)
