Wouldn't this constitute slander? Maybe I'm thinking of the wrong word, but wrongly representing someone or something purposefully and with intent to harm I am pretty damn sure is lawsuit worthy.

These are the same folks who believe that the earth is only a few thousand years old and a supernatural being "faked' the overwhelming evidence to the contrary. I am not surprised that they buy these hoaxes. But in all fairness to the religious crowd, we also have people who believe that some Nigerian is going to send them a fortune if they just put up some "good faith" money. Frankly, belief in that scam boggles my mind even more. C’mon now.

Offtopic This gets under my skin, todays jobs report claims unemployment dropped to 9.7% but just yesterday it was admitted jobless was undercounted by 824,000 loss jobs.This lying by gov't and media has got to stop. 9.7% more like 20% unemployment.
