Ik, re: "and even when there is clear evidence that the made up stuff is crap, it never sinks in."

Most of them listen to the right wing talk guys who've made an art out of creating straw men. When challenged, they rub their hands together and gleefully proclaim that no one's provided proof that they're wrong.

It's tough to prove a negative, of course, especially to someone determined to weigh the evidence using a "beyond any reasonable doubt" standard.

A disturbing number of them were once knee-jerk liberals and, like the Southern Democrats of the 60s, progressive thinkers should be very grateful that they've flipped. Ed
