The political shit I get from my right wing in-laws is never in their own words. Although my response to them always is. They never think for themselves, they just forward hateful right wing GOP emails. They have yet to acknowledge that I have proven every one of those emails relies on incorrect factual assertions. They really don't care about the facts. They don't care that whoever is sending them these emails is sending them lies. As long as it says something awful about Obama or liberals, they're happy.
