My freeper colleague (whom I happen to like) is going to F9/11

[BleedingHeartPatriot]

She and I co-manage a busy clinic. I really like her, and actually, the more I talk to her, the more I realize she's probably an independent living a freeper body. She has a 19 y/o son who wants to join the military, and wanted to know if F9/11 is something he should see. YES, YES, YES I answered. She told me she voted for Bush, because she didn't like Gore.(then she admitted that she never liked Reagan). The TIDES ARE TURNING. Make sure your misguided, but otherwise salvageable friends SEE THIS MOVIE. MKJ

1. Work On Her Gently

Offer some criticisms of the movie so you don't seem like a total Bush-basher (even if you are).

If she has a son who wants to join the military, I would discuss the way the military goes recruiting in areas with high unemployment.
Something like, "Yeah, maybe going up to the Congressmen was a bit obnoxious, typical Michael Moore, but he really had a point."
