2. Not true

Candidates can't take money from foreign sources.

Remember the 'Canada for Clark' mini-controversy?

So said freeper is living in make-believe land.

3. Actually I did read an article today...
About the fact that Al Jazeera did have a large sign up at the convention, but that it was decided by the DNC or some other groups that it would be best if the sign wasn't kept up.

Now I don't know if that means they donate to Kerry or if they are just sponsoring coverage of the event like other news outlets.

4. to the best of my knowledge
no one has shown that Hitler hasn't come back from the dead to give money to Kerry too, so I guess by the same logic that is true as well

Al Jazeera is covering the DNC and has one of the 33 media skyboxes, I think, which is fine ... I'd rather have them there than Fox ... at least they've been known to report something that is true from time to time

5. Try this

I make the claim that Osama Bin Laden runs the white house.

Prove it's not true. You can't? I guess the chimp is Bin Laden's bitch.

on edit:

The scary thing is, this has a better chance of being true.

6. Al Jazeera is a major news organization. Millions of viewers.
THAT'S the explanation for its presence. It's media.
