"There is no oil spill - its all a fabrication of the Liberal Media"
OK now I've heard it all.

My Republican dad is trying to tell me there is no oil spill, and that if they just let it drain out naturally, it would go away.

:banghead:

2. Not that I know of...
He thinks 9/11 was pulled off by a cabal of evil MOOSLIMS of which Barack Obama is a member...and probably thinks they have sharks with laser beams...

Seriously, I can't make this shit up!

4. Oh my!
I mean no disrespect to your father, but how can he be so devoid of reality?

Have you shown him the live feed to the 21" riser pipe geyser?

11. My dad is consciously devoid of reality
People who first meet him think he's joking - until they realize he's for real

Strange man, my dad

I can sum up my dad with one of his quotes

See! This is why Democracy is the best! Any other system, a man like me could become king!

Having said that, he is a serious Anne Coulter fan...

I...don't...get....it

But then again, neither I, nor the rest of my family 'got' my dad.

5. Another thought, thinking through the lens of a Republican:
Maybe point him to the costs BP is incurring trying to fix this and angle it as to their stock price, profits, etc?

If he refuses to acknowledge the catastrophe unfolding in front of us, maybe that will get his attention.

10. common knowlege, built on common sense
generations of compulsive liars in media have made 'comforting the comfortable' the new normal for anti establishmenrt media types. White males, middle class western rightwingers, are the REALLY ABUSED MINORITY, they say. Sob. It's in the books, history and records. Period. Sob.
a) when the thieves first invaded the Americas, about 125 million people lived here, in sophisticated societies streching from high artic to tip of south america- Africa too was developed along tribal/ethnic and religious lines, again from the top to the bottom- there never was a 'dark continent'. But the thieves NEEDED the lie being, 'christian'(!) to enable the theft of everything, and destruction of the countries they were then able to steal- see 'thou shalt not steal'- anyway; It's called 'history' and it is all bs...
b) the real fight between good and evil is the battle between privileged for few versus the needs of the many- left versus right, and the rightwing media has glorified the goodness of privilege (and repulsiveness of the common interest) so much that even beggars on streets say 'unions cause all our problems, and god bless glorious stormtroopers' etc
c)' jack the ripper' was a rich guy nemed john druitt, who scotland yard police killed by drowning in 1888 because the disgrace of telling prude queen Victoria that a ' gentleman' raped and murdered desperate poor eastend women...a big legend so grew out of the little lies that is still being told/ sold today! And we're still buying.
c) 600 of the dead on the titanic were virtually prisoners locked in steerage- there was no 'women and children first' story the bs media sold....the rich passengers panicked and took all the lifeboats while the poor were stilll breaking out of the holds...
d) the USSR defeated hitler, at horrible cost to them, yet was denied postwar recontruction 'marshal plan' money and blamed for cold war 'iron cutain' etc- in order to keep us/british allies militarized and make enemy of the public interest while ruining the world.
e) Men indeed landed on the moon, starting in july 1969, despite common belief that the lib/media lied about it (and notice the rightwing astronaut/test pilot airforce corp was ignored by foxnews and rest of pigmedia in promoting the lie- which needs to undermine faith in government, ie public, projects, unless they're strickly babykiller military-which the airforces kinda like, but...)
and so on...
