Reply #30: Make that two.

When I have friends that blindly send off racist, or misogynist e-mails that are obviously written by some factory funded by the GOP, get pissed at me for calling these things lies, and all of them vote Dem and think Bush is a liar, imagine what a Bush-Moonie thinks.

Most people just won't listen. I know people on the left who visit Drudge every day. Some talk for days about Paris Hilton or J-Lo, but when cornered on a real issue, they spout off the old "Welfare queens, driving Cadillacs, sponging off of our taxes." Never about Corporate troughs, outrageous military industrial complex spending, or giveaways for the rich.

Catapulting propaganda is effective. I'm in a constant battle to debunk the lies, and when one is done, 3 more have replaced it, and by the time I debunk those, the first one is back and believed again. We are outgunned. Nobody sends left wing spam. I got one that's true Today, about the NAFTA superhighway and Kansas City depot. It was from Jerome Corsi and World Nut Daily. Nobody truly concerned with this highway, and what it means for unions, would quote THAT site or THAT lying freeper.

I'm not that special. I'm no more insightful than anybody else. It doesn't take my whole day to keep up with this stuff. All it takes is a healthy amount of skepticism... something most people are afraid to do, lest they be called un-patriotic. It's a shame, but there is a sizable population out there who are helpless cult members.
