Liberal “Fact Checkers” Snopes, Blow it AGAIN – Get’s Iran Ransom Payment Totally Wrong
Snopes is a joke.
Snopes consists of a liberal husband and wife team who sit around providing cover, under the guise of “facts,” for Democrats.
So, it’s not surprising that they’ve BLOWN IT yet again – this time regarding the Iran ransom payment.
From Federalist Papers:
The “mythbusting” site Snopes has again turned their myopic eyes to the political world and are rushing to the defense of the Obama Administration in what is being called a “cash for hostages” deal.
What’s amazing is the lengths they will go to in protecting Barack Obama, ignoring key facts and presenting the issue as “old news.”
“[T]he money transfer was the result of a settlement of a long-standing claim at the Iran-U.S. Claims Tribunal in The Hague around the same time that the prisoners were released. The Tribunal was created specifically to deal with diplomatic relations between Iran and the United States.”
Snopes spends most of the article rehashing points that nobody disputes – the story was covered before, the money was owed to Iran, blah, blah, blah.
The point is that Snopes is conveniently glossing over the most salient and important news item to come out of the initial story: that Iran demanded the money in exchange for the hostages and that Iranian officials call the money a “ransom payment.”

Amy is rolling snake eyes if she cannot tell the difference between a leveraged deal where the money is withheld until the demands are met and a ransom were the money has to be paid first before the deal is concluded.
