A lot of people simply believe what they want to believe. Facts don't matter. How many people think that the president has already raised taxes, that he's not an American, that he was born in Kenya, that he hates America, that he is a muslim, that he is the anti-Christ, that he's an Arab, that he's an alien from another planet, that he is a communist, that he is a socialist, that he wants to destroy America, that he stole the election, that he fudged the unemployment numbers, that he's "not one of us," that he ate the turkey that he pardoned, that he really didn't order the Osama Bin Laden raid and kill, that he hates white people, that he wants to create government run health care with death panels, etc... All of these things have really been said about the president. When they're called out on it, they either say that it's what they heard somewhere or that the rebuttal to their allegation is a lie. All we can do is counter their nonsense with facts one person at a time -- regardless of whether they listen or not.
