How do I get my SO to stop sending me links from LGF?
She's all, "They have articles no one else has" and claims to disregard the comment threads. :(

1. LGF?
First thing I thought was "Hey, Lions Gate Films releases some good stuff." Now I have no idea what you're talking about.

3. I was thinking Lesbian and Gay Forum,
though I suspect neither of us is right.

7. Well, my next guess was "Le Grand F***wit," and it sounds like
I was pretty close to the mark.

I'm sorry about the dissonance...it's a tough kind of situation, no matter how small or great the ideological gulf, when someone you care for is on (or at least partly so) the other side of an issue like that. Politics is a human construct, an artificial dimension, and it shouldn't ever trump more real feelings and the like but it can, sometimes. All I can suggest is tell her to stop...tell her that it really does create undue tension where none is appropriate or constructive.

6. I don't wanna be all "I'm taking my toys and going home" about it
I mean, I'll accept links to rightwing arguments from other sources, even dumbasses like Instapundit and Andrew Sullivan, but there's something so filthy and wrong about the war-porn addicts over at LGF.

You're probably right that the direct approach is best, tho'.

5. Every time she sends you one, respond with the Brazillian joke.

10. Ask politely
then if it doesn't stop, threaten to send stuff from Molly Ivins, Smirking Chimp and Truthout.

If that doesn't work, set a filter to automatically forward all emails from SO to the "trash" folder of your email software.

12. Send her a link to LGF Watch...
http://lgfwatch.blogspot.com

Or better yet, send her a link to more reasonable, non-bloodthirsty pro-Israel veiwpoints,
(if that's what she's looking for) like http://headheeb.blogmosis.com .
