For six decades, they held their silence: The veterans of P.O. Box 1142, a top-secret installation in Fairfax County that went only by its postal code name

Hey Reddit. My parents watch Fox News and take everything on it at face value, and practically worship Hannity, Beck, et. al. They're very intelligent people, but somehow don't see through the bullshit. How do I talk some sense into them?

Frank Rich: "...we must acknowledge that our government methodically authorized torture and lied about it. We also must contemplate the possibility that it did so not just out of a sincere, if criminally misguided, desire to “protect” us but also to promote an unnecessary and catastrophic war."

Bill Maher: "The Republican base is behaving like a guy who just got dumped by his wife." [L.A. Times Op-Ed]

Could it be that Mr. Hannity is a phony who talks the big bad Republican talk, but when it's time to walk to walk, Mr. Hannity is a really sissy boy who's afraid to get a little water in his face to raise thousands of dollars for the families of American GIs? Say it isn't so, Sean!
