Discussionist is like my crazy Right Wing Teabag Uncle at Thanksgiving.

I had to check them out this morning---apparently my Grave Dancing thread ( http://www.discussionist.com/1015183142 ) has them fainting by the dozens--- It's really the first time I've visited.

Oh my--- The jaw dropping stupidity of those Morans is quite stunning.

At first I was hurt, now I feel it's like a Badge of Honor A distinction to have offended them.
You have to dumb it down with a couple shots of rum before entering.

A few of those conservative are reasonable people but then some are just as nasty as can be. To be honest we have a few of those here too.

Someone links to it here - but within that thread . . .

They have brass ovaries and testicles.

And this morning I alerted on a post in your thread. I didn't participate - just read it - saw it - and lo and behold . . . one of them came over here and started with some hate filled nonsense.

Truthfully - don't give a shit about those people - all of them - 'over there'. Not just at discussionist but in general. They are free to be who they are- but if they come on my lawn, burn a cross in my yard . . .

You are not going to get an intelligent debate from the conservatives but you can have fun with them

I signed out & deleted my bookmark. Too much nastiness. It makes me wonder how people can be so hate filled. Do they really feel that way, or are they just following the herd?

The conservatives are really stupid on that site and can not deal with facts or logic. It is fun to push these idiots with facts and authority because the conservatives are simply too stupid and ignorant to deal with facts. You can push these idiots into abandoning their own threads fairly easily by using facts. The number of idiotic threads based on really stupid and ignorant premises are amazing and it is a great deal of fun to force the conservatives to run away from their own threads.

There are some truly stupid and ignorant conservatives over on this site who I enjoy playing with. These conservatives understand that they are being laughed at and really have no effective way of responding due to their stupidity and the inherent lack of a sense of humor on the part of the conservatives due to their low IQs.

Come over and play. It is fun. You are dealing with conservative idiot posters who can not support any of their claims other than with their own opinions.

I played with some of them for awhile, but it got old fast. Willful ignorance is pretty awful to behold. Blind hatred as well.

I *HATE* injustice. I *HATE* bigotry. I *HATE* oppression. I *HATE* cruelty. I *HATE* murders and rapists and child molesters and people who are okay with innocent people dying because of lack of food, water or medicine.

Yup. I am a PROUD HATER of things that good people should fight against. I am passionate about fighting Evil - and I am wise enough to see it in the Republican Party.

I have no idea where those idiots get the fantasy of the weak, wimpy let-me-turn-the-other-cheek-so-you-can-slap-me liberal, as I am more on the side of the angels "flipping-the-tables-of-the-money-changers-in-the-temple".

So when they are diving for their fainting couch, I say give a smug smile and kick it out from underneath them. Their fear amuses me, and their tears please me. They are horrible human beings, and they can't come play here, so of course they have to go with the sour grapes defense mechanism - what else can they do?

BWAH HA HA HA!!! Puny Right Wing Whack Jobs - the more you try to explain your positions, the faster your voter base shrinks to just the crazy people -- and now with Obamacare mandating mental health coverage, even that voter pool is going to get smaller!!!!

PLEASE KEEP TALKING!!!

There's nothing "post-racial" about "Discussionist." The racism is very much in your face.
