I am welcome to dismiss a source that has demonstrated a willingness to deceive for political purposes. I am welcome to spend my time on more fruitful efforts than getting the receipts on obvious misinformation.
If you are insulted, that was not my intention, it was a simple observation that your comment and behavior did not match up at all with the discussion.
In addition to spreading this misinformation by posting it to HN, you also encouraged self-destructive behavior with very bad financial practices in your comment:
> We have no more 401K or other retirement accounts and do not invest in the stock market, except for a couple share of IBM I bought years ago when I worked there.
> So we're covered as I see it. We only use banks with money in savings, checking and CD accounts.
One of the more fruitful efforts is trying to point out that this destructive info has no basis in reality. This is not about left/right as you tried to incorrectly frame it, this is about basic information hygiene and not letting bad info stand undisputed.
