I had this older white, Tea Bagger, NRA fella at work... he was actually a friend! But before and just after Obama was first elected in 'O8, he'd slide up beside me at work as he looked around to make sure the coast was clear while asking under his breath "did'ja see this???"... and he'd hand me a sheet of paper where he had printed out an email "fwd" from one of his right wing buddies of some lunatic Obama conspiracy shit... just like that womans. He actually believed this shit his nutbag nazi friends were sending him. I swear this was at least once a week. My pat answer to him was "I heard he was going to start eatin' all the white babies!!" before again asking him "where do you get all this crap? you can't really believe this?"

I don't think it ever did any good.
