I posted "There will be justice" -President Obama on FB and a wingnutter wrote this:

Wingnutter: Well he's not going to send troops over there causing a war now would he because that would be wrong and the same thing Bush did when we were attacked on American soil on 9/11... I mean considering Obama ignored the warning days before these attacks were going to take place just like you accuse Bush of the warnings for 9/11, right?

Other Friend, Dem: Is there no thing that these desperate Republicans will not try to politicize? LOL! Ya lost. Get over yourselves. Posts like the above are the reason. I mean, you people are nuts! LOL!

Wingnutter: Ummm... I'm not republican. I registered as a democrat but I'm actually neither. I'm an America. So wrong once again! Post like the above is nothing but facts. You guys accuse Bush of ignoring the 9/11 warning and complain about him launching a war... well Obama ignored briefings which provided the Intel about these attacks days before they took place and did nothing so he's no better then Bush now is he? Try to spin it any way you like. It's not ok for Bush but it's ok for Obama. Talk about being hypocritical. I guess this is all Bush's fault also right? Wrong! Obama built this not Bush nor the American people. I'll take being nuts over being baked any day!

of Obama "missing" intelligence briefings - something the WH already disputed. (They used the public calendar and assumed that if nothing was mentioned Obama got no briefing.)

Don't try to do it all in only one arguement. Take it from a Dem married to a Repuke. Jabe. Let Go. Pinch. Retreat. You have to let it sink in over time.

Take one battle at a time.

Please ... you are a Republican, you voted for Bush twice. You supported the invasion of Iraq, and now you want us to invade Iran so that America "appears strong". Just admit it, you'll feel better

I wonder where he got the, "Obama ignored briefings which provided the Intel about these attacks days before they took place and did nothing" narrative, when every news source I've heard have said that intel, in anticipation of 9/11, heard/discovered nothing?

Another point ... Why do rightwingers always deny being republicans and claim to be "registered Democrats?"

Poor-grammar aside, what a joke! This person has no interest in facts; he/she stated as much. Why bother communicating with this person?

Because there are a lot of stupid people out there. And I hate posting pictures of myself. I guess it could be made private, right? You can't argue with stupidity. Wingnuts will never stop trying to argue with you because they are incapable of rational thought.

something other than an invastion/war and 3.) Explain that 'facts' are indisputably the case and require proof.
