Republicans are outraged by facts!!!!!!
Edited on Tue Oct-11-05 01:30 PM by LaPera
I've never known soooo many people who claim facts are lies!!!

When asking a republican to produce some facts of their own, on radio, television or in any sort of debate...

Republican's will quote the president, for their "fact's". Bush, the asshole, who lies about everything... or republican's will just make up their own "facts".

If you press a republican on the truth, they'll dismiss you as a conspiracy theorist, accuse you of being a liberal and say the facts are lies...(usually all three).

This is a well orchestrated technique, taught to all republicans "debaters"...If the liberal is making a valid point... talk over them, loudly, so people can't really hear, keep people confused, so the liberals point is lost...This kind of republican shit is encouraged, tried and true republican tactics...

I remember when Musclehead went into the debates in CA...The republicans clear strategy was to have Arnold constantly talking, and interrupting everyone, especially Ariana Huffington...And throw out a few macho one-liners for people to remember...and that is exactly what got this motherfucking republican Arnold elected...

With the moron Bush...it was, for Bush to repeat the same talking points, over & over & over & over again, until that's the only thing many people remembered and finally, believe to be the truth...These kind of republican tactic's, and their "think tank" bullshit, leaves such an emptiness, and that is exactly what they want, they don't care as long as the liberals can't make their points, the republicans know they can & will out spend them to make theirs, later...

And there's not much that can be done about it, when they own the corporate media, and no one is left to question the republicans lies and tactic!

At least there's Air America Radio, (and a few other liberal radio networks) the Internet, blogs, and some television, C-Span, Democracy Now, FSTV, Daily Show, Real Time, as well as some fine publications in print... Mother Jones, Harper's, The Nation, etc.

1. Facts are simple and facts are straight
Facts are lazy and facts are late
Facts all come with points of view
Facts don't do what I want them to
Facts just twist the truth around
Facts are living turned inside out
Facts are getting the best of them
Facts are nothing on the face of things

12. D Byrne on the soldiers killed in Iraq (from "Tiny Apocalypse"):
We will return your things to you
When it's time for you to leave
So quiet nobody knows
Tippy toes...

3. I disagree.
Republicans are not outraged by facts. They are terrified of them. That's why they cannot allow them to be articulated and digested by the masses.

11. Ostrich?? These days, methinks a CONDOM may be a better mascot. . .
for the 'Pukes...

The condom allows for inflation,
halts production,
destroys the next generation,
protects a bunch of pricks,
and gives you a sense of security while you're actually being screwed.

:evilgrin:

7. Why mess things up with 'the facts'? People may have to face
up to reality if they knew the facts! Of course, you know what they
say about reality, 'there is no reality, only perception'. I Love this post and am going to steal, plagiarize, purloin and pass it on. Thanks!
