Useful links for the comment sections on the 47% story

I bring this up now, because conservatives usually seem more aggressive on this front. This story is likely to be on the front page of many newspapers today and I believe that it's important that progressives aggressively confront conservatives and their lies wherever they may be. Today is as good a time as ever, if you've been sitting back rolling your eyes at some of the things these people say to start speaking up. Now, my local newspaper uses facebook for it's comments and I was a little wary at first, but I got of tired seeing a lie and waiting for someone to correct it. Even if it means creating a fake name because you're not comfortable using your real name.(maybe you live in a deep red small community), but if you see a lie confront it.

Feel to add to the list.
