I'm waiting for the "but still...." argument...

Forgive me, but I may have made a couple of RWNJs think tonight. The worst one was ranting on about "Obama this,that and the other" and not making any sense and threw in the obligatory "BENGHAZI! BENGHAZI!," so I made a suggestion. Then I walked away, because I refuse to sit there and be yelled at by a drunk RWNJ. No point in that.

My suggestion? Simply Google "Embassy Attacks" over the last 20 years. He tried to yell some more, and even offered to make a bet that nobody had been killed in embassy attacks pre-Benghazi or some such. I declined to bet.

So, a little later, the 'reasonable' one asked me for some help with search parameters and I was happy to oblige. I even printed out one of the graphics posted here about Emabassy and Consulate attacks under Bush and gave it to her. I emphasized she should fact check it, because, yes, it is from a LW site and all.

Loudmouth had some printout, too, but I didn't look at it. He claimed something about it being from an "official" source. Hopefully, I coerced him into looking at a source other than FAUX. They like to sit around listening to that drivel all day. I do my best to keep that on ignore, but it's kind of hard. We're all kind of old and I think they may have hearing problems, because they play it kind of loud.

Any way, maybe I struck a blow for some real info getting across to them. IDK, though. Denial is not just a river in Egypt.
