Please help me counter this RW'er...

[Scuba]

...he says BP is now capturing nearly all the spill. I need credible links to sites comparing current vs. last week.

Thanks in advance.

1. show him the live video of it pouring out

[Scuba]

3. I did. He said 'now show me last week so I can compare'

I keep hearing it's worse but can't find anything credible to support that.

2. Right wingers blindly support corporations regardless of what they do.

Right wingers worship corporations and believe CEOs are disciples of their godly capitalism. How they can be so easily duped defies all reason or even sanity.

[Scuba]

5. Too much Fox News

6. It's like trying to convince some of the RW'ers that the world was not created 5,000 years

ago... You can lead a horse to water, but you can't make 'em drink... I've written off most of these people as so dysfunctional that they need professional deprogramming. There is nothing rational about them...

17. Deprogramming is the key word because they are a CULT..,

4. OK

How about this one for starters.

7. I'm sure he knows he talking out his ass.

Life is too short to sweat out stupid people.

9. +1000 +++ n/t

[niceypoo]

8. Ask him for a source

That usually shuts them up

[HopeHoops]

10. There's no hope for the fucker.

Give it up. Not worth your time.

[Scuba]

11. No way. He's my son.

[HopeHoops]

12. Well, we've got the opposite situation then. My mom thinks FOX is a news source.

Still, there's no hope for her.

[Scuba]

14. Well, I'm going to get through to my son, or die trying !!! (more)...

I had a colleague once tell me "Fox (news) teaches you things." I replied "Yes, they teach you lies."

It wasn't until after I helped her understand the true ownership of Fox that she started to wake up. After she heard a Saudi oil sheik was a part owner she became interested in learning more.

Good luck with your mom.

15. I keep bumper stickers on magnets so I can move them around between cars. (read on)

My mom doesn't LIKE my bumper stickers. The FOX one I'm currently sporting reads: "FOX NEWS: The more you watch, the less you know."

[Hawkeye-X]

18. Kick his ass. Seriously.

If he's a kid, then you will have to unbrainwash him. Block Faux and foxnews.com/drudge.com/freerepublic.com at the router level.

How the fuck did he become a right winger?

[krispos42]

13. It's capturing a larger portion of the spill

Which is nice. But that's all you can say about it. We don't know what the volumetric flow of the spill is so we can't put "10,000 barrels a day captured in context. Could be 10%, could be 50%.

[Touchdown]

16. Tell him that youre on his Mother's death panel. That should shut him up.

... and you might get a free Pepsi out of the deal too!

[Hawkeye-X]

19. So she's on her own death panel?

That's funny.

[Touchdown]

20. Huh? What?

:shrug:

[Hawkeye-X]

21. Per your reply:

[Touchdown]

22. Ah' OOPS! Did I post after that?

Didn't catch it... but Scuba's profile says "male" so it seems we both blundered a bit. If she has a living will and trust, he's already the sole member of his wife's death panel... which doesn't make my joke a joke.
