...........to refute the "story" that Obama had signed an executive order banning the Pledge of Allegiance in all schools. Still kind of shocked that I NEEDED to cite Snopes for such an obviously bullshit article, but I did. And the response I got was, "Snopes is a Communist website and rarely posts anything true." Wow. Just wow. You're talking to people who DON'T CARE what the truth is. They just want to have their prejudices repeated back to them.
