Hopefully this person will eventually get the message, and if not, then perhaps some of your other co-workers will see what's going on and start standing up for you too!

Thanks, but I tried that. She doesn't stop talking for a second and does not even hear things like that. It's a volume contest until you've won. Then she resorts to trying to paint you in a negative light by accusing you of needing to "calm down," suggesting that you are out of line. It's a dirty trick where your natural instinct is to speak louder and then become antagonized, proving her right.
If you don't have a volume contest, then she keeps talking and twists the story so that she's saying all sorts of offensive untrue things about you in front of everyone.
Best solution I can think of, other than staying away from her as much as possible, is to just say once (loudly), "You're not listening. I'm leaving." And leave.
