How do you know Jim Marrs considers jeff Rense a friend?
Well, I suppose it's the fact that Jeff Rense is listed on Jim Marrs website as a friend. Now, a "friend" can mean many things to different people, but lets go by the proper definition shall we? Dictionary.com gives the following explanations for the word friend:
1. A person whom one knows, likes, and trusts.
2. A person whom one knows; an acquaintance.
3. A person with whom one is allied in a struggle or cause; a comrade.
4. One who supports, sympathizes with, or patronizes a group, cause, or movement: friends of the clean air movement.
By any definition except the second, a friend is something special. It may well be that Jim considers Rense an acquaintance, in which case I suppose my suspicions are unfounded. However, if Mr. Marrs likens Mr. Rense to any of the other definitions, then I would say my question remains legitimate. To be fair, I have not passed judgment on Mr. Marrs, I simply considered the fact that he and Rense are "friends", and that Marrs has reviewed one of Victor's books, as something worthy of consideration.

4. So, what you're saying is, because Marrs has appeared on Rense's show, we should remove his review of Thorn's book.
No, what I was saying was that you and Victor have done plenty of work exposing Rense as a "shill", and Rense is connected back to you through his association with Mr. Marrs, who has reviewed one of your books. To the average reader, who may not understand how easily the term "friend" is tossed around in your circles, a connection of this nature would at first seem suspicious, though not necessarily true, which I did mention in my previous post. For the record, I haven't made ANY presumptions, I have speculated, and there is nothing wrong with that. As well I mentioned the possibility that I was "stretching" things, and given yours and other members thoughts on this matter, it looks like I am.
Also, my choice of words to describe Lisa's writing style was based on my observation that of all the forums and forum members of which I have read (not counting the cointelpro moles), Lisa's seems to be the most, well, colorful, I think would be a better way to put it. I meant no harm by my observations, and I also have nothing to hide, so please reserve your paranoia for those who truly deserve it.
