Whew. Sometimes no amount of information makes a difference.

On my FB page appeared a post by a young woman who put this really ugly spam poster of the President and which portrays him as deliberately slighting those who served in war by not attending D-Day services at the memorial. According to the poster, he has never memorialized troops anytime anywhere and prefers fundraising to honoring any war efforts. I posted example after example of news items showing him at memorials upon various occasions. Boy, did I get some nasty remarks in return and her assurance to me that the President is a traitor (ALL CAPS, mind you). She then proceeded to delete all of the examples I had provided her with.

kills you. Pretending that lump isn't there doesn't make it true.

She's only fooling herself.

...it's an emotional reaction that allows the person suffering from the condition to filter out all rational information so they can continue to indulge their obsessive and over-the-top feelings.

The fact that she deleted the links you provided speaks volumes.

"I can't hear you, la la la..."

Very juvenile.
