A Conclusion Looking For Evidence, Part II
Continuing the theme of yesterday's entry, we've tracked down another brave soul casting off the oppressive shackles of evidence and forging ahead to usher in a new area of free and open conclusions without the bureaucratic red tape of substantiation. Fight the power! Keep hope alive!

From the Democratic Underground, concerning the whole Hinchey/Roveophobia thing:

"IntravenousDemilo" - February 22nd, 2005
I'm sure it's out there somewhere. If you can get your hands on it, he'll have it on hand when he repeats his allegation. That should shut up the naysayers.

How many philosophical or legal principles apply here? Burden of proof, Occam's razor, and a dash of confirmation bias, perhaps?

The fervor with which the fringe elements are clinging to this Hinchey thing is an indication of just how starved they are for anything resembling mainstream acknowlegement. They're like a lonely relative who seizes on you the moment you walk through the door and talks your ear off, not realizing that their sheer desperation will make it that much less likely that you'll listen to them next time.
