Do you notice today's 'Rage against the machine (machine = Obama)' is Obama let an Ebola infected person into the USA and we are now all doomed.
The Straight Story
(48,121 posts)And over me pointing out obvious falsehoods over things they posted (facts really bug those people).
Nothing today on Ebola - all about immigration last few days (aka 'Invasion' - which is what most of their posts are saying).

(34,661 posts)Only thing,it has taken less than 36 hrs, for someone to post about it. Got a SIL who went totally bat-shit-crazy about 2 seconds after the Pres mentioned it. You can choose your friends,but,you can't choose your relatives. Bottom line,if it wasn't for her Union,she would have been shit out of luck for her job,to f---en funny.

(44,173 posts)It's been surprisingly civil between us when we argue. He's not a bad guy, good family man, etc. He's just badly misinformed and gets all of his news from Fox and talk radio; he was raised in a Southern evangelical household, so he doesn't know any better.
Haven't heard anything from him on ebola yet.

(5,946 posts)we used to comment on each other's political posts, I actually got her to take down a few that I felt were racist and others I just proved wrong. But then she must have gone somewhere and got an injection of offensiveness again - like a vaccine or something booster shot, so I had to block her because I didn't want to be nice anymore. If they say stupid stuff, I Ignore them, if they say offensive stuff, I block them. The Blaze tends to take some of it's headlines from the Onion and it's ilk

(6,096 posts)farm began talking about Ebola, and she started in about Obama...and I said, INTERRUPTING
"Oh no no no...YOU CANNOT BLAME THIS ON OBAMA, so don't even try" and she shut up
but I noticed a slight coolness for the remainder of the weekend.
So be it.
