 You all are making me kind of grateful for my atheist commie parents though.  So thanks.   I think I will be nicer to them.

It wouldn't be so bad if some of them actually read an article or watched the news at some point in their lives, but they all have opinions and no facts.  
 
At family reunions, when politics every comes up everyone (except my uncles) leaves the room.  That has actually worked quite well.  Politics didn't come up once at the last reunion.

I was in such a room-clearing discussion once, with my brothers and father, and resolved then and there never to discuss politics with my family again.  (In my defense, I was only about 18.) |

 But seriously -- unless this was directed at you, or someone in particular (someone who the family knows is very involved with the ACLU), I wouldn't bother.  There's no hope.
 
 If it is directed at someone in particular, the most I would do is a private conversation with him, to tell him nicely that those comments are no appreciated.
 
 Though if it were my dad, I wouldn't bother even under those circumstances, as this sort of comment is a 2 on his rudeness scale.
