Instead of trying to Reason with Repub assholes, Just Go for the Jugular
Edited on Thu Aug-25-05 07:05 AM by mopaul
seriously, they won't be reasonable in conversation or deed, you can't change their minds with dazzling dialogue or pithy counter points, they can't be reached. so just go straight to the most offensive, forehead vein bulging insults and nastiness you can come up with, THEN and only then will you get through to them, even though you won't change them.

example: if you're holding an anti war sign and some asshole bush supporter decides to take you on in debate with rush limbaugh talking points, just get right to it and say, 'fuck you, and fuck yer mamma too'. or, 'unless you or your son are enlisting in bush's war, shut the fuck up'. you'll be amazed at the instant results and how easily they can be infuriated into a frothing, screaming pile of shit.

and, it's fun! give it a try at least once, because trying to be reasonable isn't working.

1. I agree wholeheartly...I am beginning to collect talking points for when
I go on chat lines here is the one I start with one I found on the web:

Those who interact with Trolls should remember this "Reasoning with one who has abandoned reason is like giving medicine to a dead man"....Thomas Paine.

I move on from there with that in mind...I have a bunch of saved links one I love to produce is the 'HELP STOP REPUBLICAN PEDOPHILES' discovered by CatWoman..I love that one..cause they are always talking about us immoral Democrats...BAWHAHAHAHAHA

2. Another point....
Edited on Thu Aug-25-05 08:02 AM by Jade Fox
the Right-wing thugs of today count on us to be "nice", in no small part
because we have spent so much time doing just that in the face of their
outrageousness. They are shocked when we come out swinging, and
true to their chickenhawk natures, tend to retreat. The fact that
those like Rush Limbaugh never actually debate anyone who disagrees
with them gives listeners the idea that Liberals won't fight or retaliate.

The years these Right-wing fools have spent listening to the likes of Rush
Limbaugh have convinced them the are superior in all ways to Liberals.
It has given them delusions of grandure, you might say. The are truely
Morans, as the man in the famous picture proves.

3. Yes, it's better to reinforce their perceptions and not to communicate...
NOT.

Communication has worked quite well for me within my circle of RW acquaintances.

7. That is just the wrong thing to do
You want to be positive and passive. How else are we going to let our fellow facists continue to rule? You leftists are like a splinter in the eye. You are spoiling everything. You must not get in the way of complete corporate control.

Respectfully yours,

The DLC
