The stupid blind hatred runs thick with right-wingers

My wife's cousin and his wife are coming to California from Texas. His wife (Sue) will undergo a stem cell treatment for rheumatoid arthritis.

So in a conversation planning for the visit Sue, out of the blue, told my wife the following,
"Maybe if we get another President stem cell cures will happen quicker".

My wife was a bit stunned and asked her where she heard that? She replied that she "heard it somewhere".

To which my wife replied, "Oh I don't believe that for a minute".
Dead silence on the phone.

I'm dreading our upcoming dinner. This is so common with RWnutz..they blurt out their bullcrap as if everyone believes the lies like they do. That echo chamber is ugly.

This is how you have to proceed with them.

Then decide, I guess, if making yourself crazy is worth it by trying to explain to them that their sources of information lie to them about EVERYTHING.

FUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I feel for you and I am not even there!

...fortunately they live in another state. I won't even go on facebook because I don't want to have to read their "Obama is evil" crap. What's really infuriating is they don't think for themselves...it's just a repeat of whatever Shawn Hannity says. Information goes in their ears...comes out of their mouth...without passing through the brain.

This is the company. They are paying them $15K for one treatment. I smell ripoff.
