Lets see if I can get through to you because I seem to have problems getting through to him (Muslim 720).
Would you mind putting the evidence forward by breaking it down and explaining it to me rather than accusing me of something than giving me funny and silly examples and trying to make me guess, when you can easily put the actual thing forward. Is this too much to ask for or is it too much for you?
I don't mind at all, but I have a feeling you'll just ignore it... If you ask me to explain your blunder, then please have the decency to respond.

http://forum.twelvershia.net/imamah-ghaybah/imamah-usul-al-din-or-usul-al-mathab/msg22030/#msg22030, you copied and pasted a narration which said:
يَا عَلِيُّ أَبْشِرْ، فَإِنَّكَ وَأَصْحَابُكَ وَشِيعَتُكَ فِي الْجَنَّةِ
Now notice the list of sources:
1. Fadha’il al-Sahaba, by Ahmad Ibn Hanbal, v2, p655
The chain says
قَالَ أَبُو مُكْرَمٍ عُقْبَةُ: وَكَانَ مِنَ الشِّيعَةِ
Not only is he classified as "maqbool" meaning his narrations can't be taken in isolation, the chain itself tells us that he was a Shi'i; hence, a Shi'i quoting a report saying "The Shi'i will be victorious." Circular reasoning at its 12er finest. Not to mention the rest of the chain is filled with problems; Abu Jahhaf is also Shi'i, and his saying "قال أبو مكرم" gives an implication that the chain is disconnected, Suwar bin Mus'ab is agreed upon his weakness, and Younus bin Bukair, while Sadooq, is known to make mistakes. That's five quick problems with the chains that you can try to resolve. Unfortunately, I know the 12er Hadeeth Shi'a science is not based on the authenticity of the chain, but rather, based on what you guys think will coincide with your theology.
2. Hilyatul Awliyaa, by Abu Nu’aym, v4, p329
Can't find it, if you can help me locate this I'd appreciate it. My copy has a report about Imam Ali عليه السلام flogging someone.
3. Tarikh, by al-Khateeb al-Baghdadi, v12, p289
والله I couldn't have asked for anything more rediculous than this quote. Look at what the report says!!:
أَنْتَ وَأَصْحَابُكَ فِي الْجَنَّةِ، أَنْتَ وَشِيعَتُكَ فِي الْجَنَّةِ، إِلا أَنَّ مِمَّنْ يُحِبُّكَ قَوْمًا يُضْفَزُونَ الإِسْلامَ بِأَلْسِنَتِهِمْ يَقْرَءُونَ الْقُرْآنَ لا يُجَاوِزْ تَرَاقِيَهُمْ، لَهُمْ نَبَزٌ يُسَمَّوْنَ الرَّافِضَةَ، فَإِذَا لَقِيتَهُمْ، فَجَاهِدْهُمْ فَإِنَّهُمْ مُشْرِكُونَ "، قَالَ: قُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، مَا عَلامَةُ ذَلِكَ فِيهِمْ؟ قَالَ: " يَتْرُكُونَ الْجُمُعَةَ وَالْجَمَاعَةَ، وَيَطْعَنُونَ فِي السَّلَفِ الأَوَّلِ
Honestly, this is significantly worse than the 7th quote! If you can read Arabic you'd recognize the report says, "You and your companions are in heaven, you and your Shi'a are in heaven. Except a group who (don't know the translation) Islam with their tongues, they read the Qur'an and it doesn't go past their throat, they have a distinction and are known as the Rafida. If you meet them, fight them for their are Mushrisks!" I said (i.e. Ali عليه السلام), "What is their sign?" He said (i.e. the Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم), "They leave off the Jumu'ah and the Jama'ah, and they abuse the early generations."
While this report spectacularly backfired in your face, note that I do NOT authenticate this report as it is an obvious fabrication. The fact that you just pick and chose PARTS of any fabrication you find just shows how desperate you are to aid your sect. The true sign of a sectarian.
For the record, this report is found in other books of history like Tareek Dimashq as well.
4. al-Awsat, by al-Tabarani
Al-Awsat for the record, is a book written for reports that the author only found one teacher to narrated the chain from. Although for the record, I also did not find this report here, if you can provide a page number (I'm obviously being facetious since I know you can't do that) I'd appreciate it. I'm guessing the people you copied and pasted from relied on the following...
5. Majma’ al-Zawa’id, by al-Haythami, v10, pp 21-22
A tertiary source for the record as he quotes various reports from al-Awsat in praise of Ali عليه السلام with similar wording to the hadeeth you are quoting, WEAKENING every single one.
6. al-Darqunti, who said this tradition has been transmitted via numerous authorities.
Where, in which book? If he said it has been narrated via numerous authorities, did he actually authenticate any of them?
7. al-Sawa’iq al-Muhriqah, by Ibn Hajar Haythami , Ch. 11, section 1, p247
This book's full title is الصواعق المحرقة على أهل الرفض والضلال والزندقة "The Burning Lightning Bolts for the People of Rafd, Misguidance and Heresy." LOL, I wonder why the people you copied and pasted that from didn't want to quote the full title. He quotes the tradition four times, each time refuting the Shi'as for using it and calling it weak. The fact that those you copied and pasted that from were so shameless in quoting this just shows what level of sincerity the people that wrote it had. It's literally like someone quoting my post right now and going, "look, this hadeeth is in a Sunni source."
What a depressing, depressing post...
