The wingnuts live in a complete fucking fantasy world.

To address that person's nonsense, the republican governor actually said he was happy they were there, and IN FACT, the city RECRUITED THEM to come there. They were not "dumped" on Springfield, OH. They were mostly INVITED, and according to numerous managers of businesses, were hard-working and reliable.

When you're a wingnut though, and all you ever watch is Faux Nooz and that ilk, you never actually take in any FACTS, only propaganda. And you just can't IMAGINE that a community would WELCOME a bunch of black people. It's not fathomable to their racist brains, ergo, it's extremely easy for them to be convinced that everyone there HATED it.

It's funny too, they tried to talk about how all of US are 'insulated' from the terrible plague of Haitians, as if they were right there, suffering themselves, and none of us liberals could understand the horror from our ivory towers

It's like every one of them is part of a hive mind, and came straight out of central casting, to spout their BS talking points
