It bugs the crap out of me when misinformation is spread, especially when it tries to support something I agree with. Just like any group under fire, we have to do it better to get the same credibility that liberals get for any old crap they post.

The lady who sent that pic to my relative is a lovely, sweet, staunch conservative, but she sends a lot of trash around ... the sort that is sensationalist, unsourced, lots of bolding, italics, exclamation points, written to scare old people, and almost always ends with “send this to everyone you know”. I hate that stuff. There must be a basement somewhere filled with folks doing nothing but cranking this trash out - it really circulates among the elderly population that uses email .... and they believe a lot of it (very much plays to their patriotic sympathies). I have an elderly aunt who is in this mess up to her neck and she’s forwarded as many as 10 emails in a day (the record number I’ve received) of this cr@p. She doesn’t send it to me any more because I had to get all but rude with her to get her to stop. Anyway, I’ll be bursting some bubbles about that picture later today.
When people are desperate to believe something, they will accept any evidence that supports what they want to believe.
