I did correct her (ummmm, I believe it was OBL) but she responded with, well, they're all connected. This person is very well-educated and extremely intelligent, which tells me how effective the propaganda push has been, even here in Santa Monica. Scary cuz it's not just the Repubs in the Midwest that believe those things.
