Speaking of Mindless Obama Bashing

Presenting people with facts won't quell the cries of presidential illegitimacy, research suggests

By Ozboy

And speaking of mindless Obama bashing, there is an excellent article on the phenom on CNN entitled:

• "Why Obama is not first 'imposter' president and won't be the last"

One of several great money quotes:

Presenting people with facts won't quell the cries of presidential illegitimacy, research suggests.
A series of studies conducted at the University of Michigan in 2006 showed that political partisans, when exposed to facts that corrected their assumptions, rarely changed their minds. They actually held even tighter to their assumptions.

Another wise sage (can’t quite remember who) said it this way:

People are drawn to the echo chamber, and they want to have their opinions validated more often than they want to have their opinions challenged.

Well...?
