It's the same with my boss-- who's a BIGTIME Bush/Rove/Halliburton/everything is a conspiracy person.
The funniest thing I get when I confront people like him and other libs is a 'Don't you listen to the news!!'
And I usually say "Well, yes, but obviously mine's more accurate than yours" (OK, I tone it down with my boss ;) )
I challenge them to get online and check out the primary sources for the news stories. For example, the Kay and Duelfer reports. I tell them to go and read these documents for yourselves and then tell me that the news reports were accurate. Or go find whatever quote is being bandied about in its full context and tell me that the news reports about it are accurate.
I want them to see it with their own eyes. Most of them have no desire to verify what they're being told. They'd rather continue to be spoon fed.
I was talking to an old friend last week, who told me that she's soured on the President because people have told her that he and his friends are making money on oil. I started to explain to her about Cheney's deferred compensation from Halliburton, as a way to show her how the MSM twists the truth, and how that money is what he earned before he became VP, and she said, "What's Halliburton?" I gave up at that point.
That ought to get you quite a response......LOLOL
