Have you tried talking to such people? I have. I get blank stares, if not suggestions that I might be a paranoid delusional. If Tom, Petah and Dan say it, then by golly it must be true.
I am embroiled in such a conversation now, via email. I know this is a friend who will probably never speak to me again, but I also know I cannot pretend to agree with her, even slightly. "All we've done is stir up a hornet's nest. Bush is going to get us all killed. Michael Moore is right! This is a quagmire worse than Vietnam!" She believes this.
Hard to be that blunt to a friend, but sometimes necessary. I hope it works out.

I listen to a lot of different [conservative] talk shows, and scream silently to the host, when a sincere caller makes one of the typical left-wing claims: "Ask him/her what she or he relies on for news." It is time that we identiry to people that we and they are hearing vastly differing news depending on the source.
We need to open their minds to the concept that they are being deprived of much that is being kept off of the old media newscasts.
I plan to do this as I wear my W and Bush/Cheney buttons from now til Nov 2, when people give me their left-wing spin.
