I am actually having discussions with people who use the Washington Post (and even an article by Philip Bump) to support their contentions.
One of them was a real jackwad, but the other Freeper seems like he might want to understand the truth of an issue.
But we do have those people here.
I might have been one of those in my youth. My guess is that such lefty listeners are likely to become conservatives over time, thought and experience.
