I found this article and I haven't seen it posted here so I thought I would share it. I've used it a few times on FB with some pretty good success whenever I see one of those ridiculous sandy hook "truth" videos.

(1,975 posts)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.

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.

(1,975 posts)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.
