In addition, the Skeptical Inquirer says that when you make extraordinary claims, you must present extraordinary proof. It's not up to me to "prove" that UFOs are nonsense. It's up to the UFO proponent to prove UFOs are real.

There was no proof. Just nasty spirited, William Safire type assertions.

It is easy to turn the whole thing around. The dead connections could have and would have exculpated Clinton. Starr had them bumped off to keep his investigation alive. Mellonhead Scaife provided the financing. North and Liddy, due to their practical experience, arranged the more delicate details. Helms and Gingrich provided the political coverup.

See, nastiness is easy. It requires no proof, just assertions.
