My advice: DON'T ENGAGE! Absolutely don't engage. Change the subject, walk out of the room, stuff a cookie into their mouths, anything. But, don't engage.

good advice. it works. it takes two to argue. works especially well if the leftists are the minority at the table: their political bombs land with deadly silence, akin to shunning, or they can agree with each other for a while, but that gets old real fast if no one else rises to the bait. At that point, changing the subject fills the void and further obnoxious behavior is generally not forthcoming as it is perceived to be fruitless.
