An interesting article on how people tend to dig in their heels even when presented with facts, and some of how to avoid that effect. Short version: dont attack them, and provide alternatives rather than just saying theyre wrong. The article also links to a Debunking Handbook that can be useful and interesting: skepticalscience/Debunking-Handbook-now-freely-available-download.html Conservatives may feel these are biased against them, but the basic ideas of communication and persuasion against entrenched ideas go both ways. Dont reject the basic message just because youre on the other side on some issue theyre using as example.
