7. She loves Hillary and is furious that Barack won.
We have been fighting really bad about this ,she said she will vote for Ron Paul and I told her she is as bad as a repuke and she said so you are telling me to vote for someone I dont trust and dont like and I said thats exactly what I am telling you.
She has me so pissed right now if I could reach her I would strangle her but she lived 450 miles away and her name is Jackie

10. LOUD WHISTLE, give her distance
and if in the end she does vote for Dr. Paul or McCain, so be it.

Look, not all of the folks who went for her will vote for him.

But you need to give her the space she needs... and perhaps once she hears Johnny she might get it

But if you keep pushing her, she will definitely NOT listen.

4. Show your sister this,
and ask her what it means to her as a Clinton supporter--

Tell her that this primary has been full of lies and innuendos that reek of hypocracy and that she needs another "excuse".

8. Can you sit her down at the computer and help her research it?
Can you show her Snopes or other urban-legend debunking sites and get her to realize that there are some number of folks who just like to spread unsubstantiated rumors on the internet? Can you help guide her into helping her to realize that there's an awful lot of "junk", rumor and inuendo out there and that it's the responsibility of every voter to do independent research and discern the truth for themeselves? Can you help her to see that there's not a single credible news source that's said about Farrakan?

11. Ask her where she read it
I'm sure her source will have mysteriously disappeared.
