I,ve also had this type of run in with liberals. They spew pure lies about almost anything you can imagine. Whether it's about taxes, education spending, school luches, S.S. reform, Rx drug benefit etc. They are so ill informed it's scary.
Of course that doesn't prevent them from spewing their viewpoint at every opportunity. Even when presented with facts, statistics, and truth some (most) still stick like glue to the DNC talking points. If they "heard" it somewhere (e.g., "Today" or CNN or Michael Moore or DU), it must be true.
"They are so ill informed it's scary."
They are so stupid its scary, because they live in denial even after you present the facts to them. I getting outright sick and tired of their boorish,childish, behavior too. I've had to threaten a few with severe bodily harm who have gotten in my face. They back down pretty quick too. If they keep pushing it I'm going to send one away picking up their teeth off the floor.
