Tell them to get off their lazy ass and look it up for themselves. If they're too lazy (quite likely), point them to:

or

If they still won't believe you, tell 'em I said they are stupid and shouldn't have the right to vote.

My point is they want to believe the lies. It’s the basis of the whole appeal of liberalism and Obama. Would a normal person look a politician like Obama’s people look at him? It’s not sane. We’re not dealing with rational people here. It’s not that they’re all individually insane, it’s that they have this belief that all their problems are caused by something or someone else. They can’t be made to look in the mirror and see the source of all their problems. Appealing to their rational sense will do no good, because they have no rational sense to appeal to. Talking to a brick wall is the analogy I will use.
