So I just got finished an IM session with a friend of mine who, despite being a really good friend (since like 8th grade), refuses to hear outside opinions and has consumed too much BC04 koolaid.
He did, however, make a shocking confession to me...
freeperfriend: you still planning on voting for the haunted tree?
freeperfriend: heard that this mornign...thought it was pretty funny
liberalgeek: yeup, better him than the smirking chimp
freeperfriend: smirking chimp will try to keep your children safe...can't say that for flip flop
freeperfriend: won't geive your paycheck to everyone who wont get off their ass and work
liberalgeek: bullshit ..... he just lost 380 tons of explosives to the terrists
freeperfriend: say it aint so...
freeperfriend: been listening to air america huh
liberalgeek: uh, no... it's all over the mainstream media
liberalgeek: http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&cid=514&e=20&u=/ap/20041026/ap_on_re_mi_ea/n

liberalgeek: only takes 5lbs of the stuff to take out an airliner
liberalgeek: feel safer?
liberalgeek: Some more stuff to consider:

freeperfriend: that's an impressive amount of bullshit gathered by blithering idiots on one page. To bad most of it is made up by untrustworthy people working for Kerry.
liberalgeek: whatever
liberalgeek: we'll cancel each other's votes out, I guess
freeperfriend: he will let terrorist into this country and they want him elected
liberalgeek: OK, Rush
freeperfriend: don't like rush
freeperfriend: the guy that is
freeperfriend: him and hannity are full of shit
liberalgeek: hehehehe
liberalgeek: I'm glad we agree on soemthing! :)
And all this time I thought that he got all his info from Rush and Hannity. Maybe he's a Boortz fan. Doesn't matter--there are some people you just can't sway. Time to concentrate on the ones that you can.
And so it goes.
