A snappy retort to the "hate us for our freedom" meme |
|
Edited on Wed Jul-20-05 09:21 PM by Greeby
Next time a right-winger starts up with the "They hate us for our freedom" crap. Just tell them "No, you jackass, they hate us because we TOOK AWAY their freedom."
Given the dictatorships both our countries support, the democratic or otherwise representative gvernments both our countries have overthrown, I'd say that's a pretty on-the-mark statement. :)

Short and to the point...
Let's keep those ideas coming. The more verbal tools we have that are direct and to the point, the less time we waste trying to convince Bush Supporters with logic and facts which they only ignore, deny or shout down.

4. They hate us for our Foreign Policy |
|
that's what I always tell people.
After the most cursory discussion of WHAT the US has done in the way of foreign policy over the past 50 years or so, most people "get it".
