He posted some shit about Hillary being connected to the alleged deaths of 4 of her critics. The source was Patriot Journal which looks like a right wing nut job site when I went to it. Anybody got the story on this?

(115,858 posts)You could ask them to supply actual facts, and you might ask why, considering how many enemies Hillary has, she has never been charged or indicted for anything? (That's part of the conspiracy, they'll say.) But it's kind of a waste of time to argue with such people.

The Velveteen Ocelot
(115,858 posts)is now relying on completely unsubstantiated right-wing bullshit. Does he think Bernie believes that crap? I'd accuse him of over-the-top sour grapes (and I say this as a former Sanders supporter who does not adore Hillary but figures if she's OK with Bernie she's OK with me). Does he think Trump would be better? Does he want Trump to win?

Here's a refutation - it's bullshit.

(16,296 posts)killed his grandmother and poisoned his father. Shit, everyone knows Hillary started the Vietnam war and masterminded the 9/11 attack - 4 deaths - shit that's nothing.
You can't argue that claim - if his mindset is already accepting it, you've lost a friend.

(3,784 posts)...........to refute the "story" that Obama had signed an executive order banning the Pledge of Allegiance in all schools. Still kind of shocked that I NEEDED to cite Snopes for such an obviously bullshit article, but I did. And the response I got was, "Snopes is a Communist website and rarely posts anything true." Wow. Just wow. You're talking to people who DON'T CARE what the truth is. They just want to have their prejudices repeated back to them.

The best thing to do is cool down and just ignore that person.
Don't let them get to you. You can't argue with crazy.
