I'm reminded of Cato the Elder, the Roman senator who would end every 
speech, no matter the topic, with "Ceterum censeo Carthaginem esse 
delendam" ("Furthermore, I consider that Carthage must be destroyed").

But at least he had the good grace to present that as an opinion, instead 
of repeating a falsehood as if it were a fact.
