When debating a Con and they seem to come up with a good point be sure to keep in mind that it there is a good chance that it is not even true. Remmember, Cons believe that the END JUSTIFY THE MEANS; meaning that it is okay to present rumors, misunderstandings, and outright lies as the truth as long as it furthers the
right-wing agenda.
For instance, during the 2008 campaign, Sarah Palin continuously told the people that Obama was going to raise their taxes - even when she was addressing a a field full of hill-billies. Even after it was brought to her attention that what she was saying was not true, SHE CONTINUED TO SAY IT ANYWAY!
Here are some other things that they believe that are not true:
Obama is a racist
Obama is not a Christian
Obama is a Communist
Obama is not an American citizen
Obama is a muslim
Obama raised taxes on everyone
Obama wants to take away their guns
etc. etc. etc.
Here are those non-partisan sites to refer to when checking for Con dis-information.
Lets be sure to call these guys out.

This one is a partisan site that is dedicated to calling out the lies of Con-air
