Advice- Where should I direct a Republican friend regarding obtaining facts..
I have been asked by a friend who has always voted Republican, (but will likely be voting for Obama) about the rumor that he is a radical Muslim terrorist. Rather than respond in my usual fashion "that is fucking ridiculous" I need a way to direct her to a place to read the facts for herself. I find myself constantly getting enraged when involved in political discussions with Republicans and not communicating effectively.

Any suggestions will be appreciated. Be nice, I have lurked forever and have only recently taken the plunge! :D

2. Your Republican friend must first prove that he isn't a child molester.
Do you think he/she could get you some proof of that?

If so, make sure to share it with us.

Thank you.

8. wait, she's thinking about voting for him but still might believe he's a terrorist?
When you really think about that does it make any sense to you at all, i mean really?

11. Snopes or factcheck.org
These sites are objective and unbiased, so they should be the best source of information if you want to persuade someone

13. All the above, but answer me this
how did he get into the Senate if he is a Muslim terrorist? Or how did he get on Senate Committees that have security clearance if he is a Muslim terrorist? Doesn't she feel rather stupid even saying that?
