I've been there and have ignored it. The only time I didn't is when this relative started saying our troops were killing Iraqis indiscriminately. This was last Easter and I was not about to sit there and ignore this outrageous lie and I said that was absolute nonsense. After over a year of not being challenged the lib relative was shocked out of his wits and actually got up and left the table speechless at being called on his assertions.
Haven't seen him since.
Yes that's what I wanted to avoid. I got into a big fight one year with a relative and didn't want to repeat it especially since this was my sister's friends.

Well, as a result, you're definitely in better company.
