I disagree. the kind of misinformation that's being spread out there needs to be hit head on.

Then hit it with hard facts, not matching someone's frothing at the mouth. - Inigo Aug 19, 07:17 24
- It's the political equivalent of calling "elves". - znufrii Aug 19, 07:21 2
  - See my post to Jack. No matter what you say, it won't matter to the crazies of either side. - Inigo Aug 19, 07:25 1
    - people aren't looking to be convinced it's a reasonable, thought-out option. - znufrii Aug 19, 07:29

    - I don't agree with what she said, it was completely baseless. However, that doesn't excuse his response. -- nm - Scorpion Aug 19, 07:25 1
      - I think that *precisely* excuses his response. -- nm - znufrii Aug 19, 07:31

  - No, just hit back with facts. The frother may not understand or care, but you're not doing it for them. - Inigo Aug 19, 07:23 15
    - How do you respond with facts to someone calling Obama Hitler? And isn't Frank Jewish? - JaxSean Aug 19, 07:31 14
      - Tear the accusation apart piece by piece. From the article, they called it a Nazi policy. - Inigo Aug 19, 07:42 12
        
        it's not worth the effort. he said something about comparing providing more americans with health care to the nazis. that's all the tearing apart it - mafic Aug 19, 07:59
        
        They were holding up pictures of Obama with a Hitler mustache. So, yeah, they were equating Obama with Hitler. -- nm - CovingtonCat Aug 19, 07:45
        
        I'd hardly call Frank's response "freaking out". I was a solid rhetorical put down of a question that didn't dignify a response. - znufrii Aug 19, 07:45 9
        
        So, strike down the question using the public speaking ability he should have. - Inigo Aug 19, 07:53 8
        
        so in other words, do precisely what he did? - znufrii Aug 19, 07:55 7
        
        and... - znufrii Aug 19, 07:59 3

        I vote democrat. I voted for Obama. So no. -- nm - Inigo Aug 19, 08:01
