a bunch of conspriacy theorists. I have no idea where he is getting this stuff but he really wants to believe that every thing I tell him is lies. The AM radio bunch must be filling his head with something. He told me moveon was a communist organization not to long ago. To which I responded that Bushco and the neo-fascists were much more like Russia's communist leaders as far as oppression of discent and all that that intails and then explained to him what moveon actually was. I think it bothers him that my hatred of everything the neo-cons do is unwavering. I'll call the neo-fascists evil and he'll say "You don't mean that." I always say that I don't think all repubs are evil (they aren't) but that Bushco are some of the most evil people on earth. His comment about DU was upsetting because for the first time in a while he seemed like he thought he had a valid argument. I said that that idea was retarded and begged for him to turn off FOX and the radio.

It makes me sad because he really doesn't want to believe that America could be as bad as we all know that it is.

Anyhoo thanks to whatever crap he was listening to I am going to have to work just that much harder to make him see the light.

He is willing to watch F 9/11 so that is good but I think I am going to have to hit him with Outfoxed, and if he didn't hate Clinton so much The Hunting of the President.

ARG I hate hate hate the lying media that makes our jobs so much harder.
