Need some DU help to counter a freeper on Facebook

[Kat45]

One of my Facebook friends, a good Democrat, is finding that he has a number of freeper FB friends. After I called one out on one of his threads, my friend asked for my help. He said this 'friend' is "hounding me for "proof positive" that Obama passed legislation that actually helped the US people." He asked me to provide him some links that he can give this freeper to shut him up. I told him that I didn't have any off-hand, but I would consult with Dem friends online who are generally flush with links. Thanks.

4. Obama doesn't pass legislation

That's the job of Congress. Obama signs it.

But here's a list of his accomplishments for what it's worth.

13. Uhm, try to read sources before passing them on.

From your link:
">Sent troops to Afghanistan but pulled troops out of Iraq (What planet? He has nt pulled out of Iraq!) we are now at 115,000 troops as of 2/11/2010! Zero actual draw down.

> Made a more transparent form of Government (almost daily daily Facebook Q&A's with his staff) Has had more closed door meetings then any previous administration. Even his open door committee only has closed door meetings!

>Tried several times to get the Republicans to join him and get bi-partizanship on the destruction of democracy. Republicans did not wish to contribute!

> Passed a stimulus package that is creating no jobs across the country. This bill has given more to the rich then every previous President combined! "

15. So...

Where are your links??

17. See post #14.

It's not clear if presidential work or senatorial work was the topic, so I went with the latter.

6. Don't counter. Ignore. It works better than any words.

7. Don't engage them

It's like those signs in parks that tell you not to feed the wildlife. Do not feed the Freepers.

8. I agree a but not engaging the freepers, but

my friend loves to argue and I'm trying to help him (with info)if I can.

9. They aren't worth it

Facts do not matter to them.

10. There is a block feature for a reason. n/t

12. I'm sorry, but I don't think your friend understands who---or what---he's dealing with.

Those people will never agree that ANYTHING this president does "helped the US people".

If Barack Obama is responsble for something, it is a "socialist, muslim, Nazi, liberal" abomination that is a thinly-veiled assault on "traditional American values."

[boppers]

14. He wants national legislation? Okay...

(This is the "he didn't do anything in the senate" meme, correct?)

16. When someone has that kind of dubious Obama-hate... fuck 'em, it's not worth it

Going for the "proof positive" nonsense is your first indication that this numbnut will never accept any answer except the shit-headed nonsense on Fox Noise.

File under Pointless Bullshit.

[Kat45]

18. I agree.

I tend to ignore those people most of the time, but my friend likes to argue. :shrug:
