When did a right-winger last convince you that they were right about something and you were wrong?

Poe's Law. Like you said, sometimes it's hard to tell whether or not even they believe what they say. You'll hear, say Rush, put a spin of ridicule or half-truth on a particular talking point that misrepresents the left, and the people I'm around KNOW and will even admit it's over-the-top, but will sweep their cognitive dissonance aside and go along with it. All in the name of being a loyal team player.

On several occasions I called and got through to refute points made on local RW talk radio and in each case they rebutted me by using non-sequitors or strawman arguments. Basically responding not to what I said, but rather a distorted version of what I said; that is, one that makes their argument look good....and you get cut off: You never get the chance to re-clarify or point out where they distorted your argument. Limbaugh is atrocious in that regard. He'll always say he welcomes opposing viewpoints, and his screener tends to put easy for him to "defeat" non-articulate callers on to make him look good, but on the occasions where a shrewd caller can make it past his screener and offer a very articulate argument, he just comes back with a BS answer and the caller never gets the chance to point that out.
