But the only way to expose these people for what they are is by turning on the lights. People love soundbites, it's sad but I can see where people would be sucked in by one of these videos. I would say %95 of them when presented with a rational counterpoint that shines the light on the facts will come to their senses. The other %5 are still looking for the "real" birth certificate and can't be talked to but are recognized as nutters.

Has Salon gotten around to debunking Santa Claus yet?

My guide against Sandy Hook nutters is much more succinct:

Tell them: "fuck you and leave me the fuck alone". No other dialogue is useful or productive.

Arguing against dumbfucks like that only validates their existence.

There is a differance between ignorance and a nutter. Call me silly but I feel if I can change the mind of one person then I haven't failed.

Not sure if I should post this, but I will. I was a differant person 15 years ago. My best friend in the Marine Corps came out to me in confidence. It was an eye opener and changed my life for the better. I'm glad my friend had faith in me.

Myself, I place the blame solely on Barack Hussein Obama.

but many of them are really simple, such as Just type in "sarcasm" with the ":" at beginning and end with no spaces.

I don't even want to bother with trying to explain. But the Salon article helps by giving short, concise responses, thanks.
