[QUOTE="Catatonic, post: 923514, member: 7966"] Cenk is usually better than his take on the Founding Fathers growing marijuana. The hemp plant was grown during that period to mainly make rope and I have never seen any evidence that indicated the Founding fathers smoked hashish. I have heard estimates on his same network that the marijuana today is over a hundred times more potent than the hemp plants of the 18th century. Newt got it wrong too ... the crime and social issues occur in those countries where opium, heroin and other more debilitating drugs are semi-legal. Where only marijuana has been semi-legalized, there is no real difference ... maybe just a slight downward trend but not statistically significant. So on the Truth-o-meter scale. [URL="http://www.politifact.com/truth-o-meter/statements/"]PolitiFact | The latest statements we've reviewed[/URL] Check out the this site - it is fairly unbiased (I think they give the politicians a benefit of doubt, which I'm not sure I would give). You'll see that Obama mostly gets "half truths" but Newt gets many "Pants on fire" and "half truths". By the way, "Politicians hate this site." according to politico.com Cenk - False Usually Cenk is at least half-truthful on what he says but this was just an attack piece with extremely twisted facts in his logic. Newt - Half True New, as usual, speaks off the cuff without having all the facts logically laid-out. He loves to field questions and show off his depth of knowledge and make deductions on the fly. He is very good at it and is usually closer than this. [/QUOTE]
