On the contrary, the ridiculousness of the false charge should be mocked and ridiculed. Humor is a valuable weapon. Its baselessness should be shoved in their face and they should have to answer for it. Not that this forum has many conservatives or Haitians in the audience.
It's tamping, not spreading, is my point. Pointing and laughing is useful.

If I change the tone and said something like" If I had enough money I'd gather all those shelter dogs like a greedy Jew".
