| 24. MORE TIPS: Talking Occupy Wall Street, Super Committee and More Around the Thanksgiving Table |
|
http://www.alternet.org/newsandviews/article/737986/tal... Last year we gave you some tips for talking about Obama and the midterm elections with your right-wing family around the cranberry sauce and cornbread http://www.alternet.org/story/148958/5_ways_to_deal_wit... but boy have things changed in a year. The Tea Party is out and mic-checks are in. Super-Committees, occupations, GOP presidential debates and personhood amendments, oh my! What a landscape of potential landmines awaits us all across the turkey and stuffing. Fortunately, there are tips for dealing rationally and calmly with opposing views all over the web this year. From our friends at WorkingAmerica.org, here are the first of several "Turkey Talk Tips." http://www.workingamerica.org/issues/turkeytalktips.cfm At MoveOn.org, there's a particularly apt guide to combat the top five myths perpetuated by Fox News. http://front.moveon.org/top-5-fox-myths-to-debunk-this-... What is the common thread between all these tip guides? Staying clam, using facts and science and trying to combat myths and misinformation with truth instead of emotional rhetoric. And don't let politics ruin your Turkey-Day fun! Watch this hilarious un-aired SNL sketch about the craziest types of Thanksgiving family behavior and take comfort in the fact that you're not alone.
