They just can't handle the truth!

A "friend" of mine on Facebook posted this picture:

http://www.facebook.com/photo.phpfbid=4658979963162&set=a.1255398635756.39101.1553304040&type=1&relevant_count=1&ref=nf

I posted a comment that went something like,

"Ummm Obama--Chrysler? Ford? GMC? Rmoney--American Pad and Paper-BANKRUPT GS Industries-BANKRUPT, Stage Stores-BANKRUPT. And in Rmoney's cases he and his rich investors took millions out of the companies for themselves before the companies went under. The Choice is indeed clear."

He promptly deleted my comment.

They really just can't handle it, can they?

So I can go back and copy/paste your excellent response when I need it. (If that's ok with you, that is.)

He didn't delete it. But he and his buddies have been piling on, arguing with me. This is what I expected, but I'm not sure I want to engage in a lengthy flame war. If you like, I'll post the rest of the argument when it's "over" or when I just can't stand the stupid anymore.

You're fighting the good fight. I'm just staying away from facebook these days. (Not that I went there often - mostly only to see pics and stuff my kids have posted for me.) I would end up fighting over discussing politics full time if I didn't.

What I do is copy their link and post it with comments showing it is totally bull shit. Here is one I did in response to the Obama defaces the flag controversy. I don't know how to post a photo so I'll just link to it. https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=386324961437465&set=a.219713281431968.53816.100001798921254&type=3&theater

If anyone can give me a hint on how to post photos. I'd be happy to post these. Or you're welcome to use these I created them with Corel Draw. They are in jpg format.

Not sure what's going on. It might be a temporary Facebook thing.
