What is the saddest thing you have ever heard a RW'er say?

[ck4829]

By "Saddest", I mean most pathetic.

"We're winning in Iraq (Or even more sad is "We found WMD in Iraq..."), but the Liberal Media isn't reporting about it."

[mrcheerful]

1. Let me be honest

[_testify_]

2. anal sex causes rectal cancer

This was from a girl who is studying radiation therapy.

[adigal]

52. Don't forget Senator Coburn, who is a doctor

saying, "Abortions cause breast cancer."

Priceless. Just priceless.

[leftchick]

3. Saddam did 9/11

and after explaining wrong Muslims wrong country being told all Muslims are the same and we need to bomb them all. That is sick.

[redwitch]

20. sigh

I heard someone say that it didn't matter to her that Iraq wasn't responsible for 911, someone had to pay and we were sending a message, That kind of irrational thinking is why the human race is headed for extinction. :-(

[ScreamingMeemie]

4. The saddest thing is when they come here, try to "act" like us and say

things like this:

" The mayor was not the mayor then at the time of the attacks. In addtion, his staff was informed the day before yesterday by the WH and did not relay the message to him before he went to the podium and said he did not know about it.

WMD lies get us no place because everytime we talk about them the right runs out the tapes of Kerry, Clinton, Clint, Biden, Kennedy, Durban, and yes even Feingold and Boxer and Fienstein saying the same thing.

There is a reason we do not have the House, Senate, and Presidency and claiming we don't becuase the other side lies does not fly in America. It may fly in grade school, but not in America."

It was a nice try though.

[Tierra_y_Libertad]

5. "Bring it on!" Thus condemning thousands of people to die.

[Atman]

6. "Bush Won."

"Get Over It" comes in a close second. It has a couple of different contexts.

[Patsy Stone]

7. "I don't believe in evolution." n/t

[Ladyhawk]

15. Slight variation: "Do you believe in evolution?"

This was meant as a put-down, but I said, "Of course I do." It's like asking, "Do you believe in gravity?"

[AngelAsuka]

23. Well, DO you believe in gravity?

:hi:

[Ladyhawk]

81. Yes, except in Warner Bros. cartoons. n/t

[ourbluenation]

8. that gay marriages threatens straight marriages.

very sad....

and stoopid. I'm series. It's hugh...

[Critters2]

50. I never get this

As the only pastor in my town who will do gay weddings--or even welcome gay folks to church--I hear this from colleagues all the time. I personally am undermining their marriages. They can never offer a cogent explanation as to how, but my church and I are destroying Western Civilization.

Makes me feel mighty damned powerful.

[rodeodance]

9. i don't fill my beatiful mind with that (BB paraphased)

[LibDemAlways]

10. I had a guy who claims to be a

registered Dem, but actually votes repuke, say to me, "Ok, so you don't like Bush, but you have to admit you were glad he was in charge on 9/11."

I didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Where do you even start with a statement so idiotic and misinformed?

[Critters2]

36. I was involved in a conversation a few months ago

where an RW said that--"Good thing Bush was in charge on 9-11", and a progressive friend replied "The sad truth is that the hi-jackers were in charge on 9-11." Yikes! Even I felt the sting from that! True, tho, when ya think about it.

[Clark2008]

40. I actually floored some people when I say, "Well, if Al

Gore had been president, 9/11 wouldn't have happened, so, no, I'm not glad Bush was president."

[LibDemAlways]

67. I told the guy the same thing, and then

asked him if he knew the chimp sat listening to some schoolkids read "My Pet Goat" after he had been told of the attack. His response: "He probably didn't want to scare the kids."

At that point I just let it go. Clearly the kool aid is effective in destroying brain cells.

[recoveringrepublican]

11. Some young punk was at least honest "but we need the oil"

I shit you not. When I asked why he wasn't fighting for "his" oil "I'm too young to die". I thought he might be bullshitting me, but a young fellow protester knew him from school and told me this guy was being honest.

[rucky]

12. "How else are we going to get our oil?" (re: Iraq invasion)

i was speechless.

[Hubert Flottz]

13. That they were going to stop counting the people's votes in Fla.

The day democracy died in America! Killed by the SCOTUS! They should be impeached! What they did broke the rule of law!

[Warpy]

14. When I asked why he voted for Stupid, he said,

"I don't know. I just did." When I asked what he found to like about Stupid, he said, "I don't know, I just do."

That is SAD, folks.

[Jamison]

16. "We (Pukes) can never lose an election, it's not possible!"

Gee, what recently happened in the Virginia & New Jersey Governor elections?

[Rocknrule]

38. At least this one is honest in admitting the votes are rigged

[CornField]

17. "We're so happy you decided not to kill this one."

My sister-in-law, in a greeting card, after learning I was pregnant again following a pregnancy we terminated for defects incompatible with life.

[vptpt]

21. Oh god, that's awful

I hope you said something to her about that.

[murielm99]

27. I would have kicked her in the ass,

and told her that that was the last communication I would have with her, EVER.

Why do these people think they can say anything they want?

[flygal]

33. Oh my HELL!!

I thought my in-laws were friggen evil - that's insanely twisted. I'm sorry you had to go through that.

[Critters2]

46. OMG!!

Do these people not have consciences?! :argh:

[LibDemAlways]

69. That's just horrible.

I'm sorry you went through such a difficult ordeal, made all the worse by such an insensitive, cruel comment. I would have sent her back a one-acronym response: MYOB.

My husband's wingnut aunt's first question to me when we brought our then 6-month-old over for a visit was "Does your ob/gyn do abortions?" These people are obsessed.

[leftchick]

73. o m g... nothing beats that vile person

I hope you slapped her in the face the next time you saw her. I would love to do it for you.

:puke:

[Road Scholar]

18. "Hello my name is Joe Lieberman" eom

[fknobbit]

19. Max Clelands wounds were not honorable!. nt

[DemonFighterLives]

22. No wonder democrats lose elections and will continue

to lose in the future. :silly:

[lpbk2713]

24. "The people have spoken."

(Just wait about three more years if you really want to hear the people speak.)

[M155Y_A1CH]

25. I support * because he's a Christian

This is the lamest feel-good reason for support ever.

My mom once hired a handyman based on his ad
proclaiming himself a good Christian man.
Unfortunately he could not repair anything well and we ended up
with a broken toilet lid and a small electrical fire.

I won't fall for that trap anymore...Christian is code for incompetence,
when it's used as a resume.

[rpgamerd00d]

26. "We should back the president and everything he does" - Britney Spears

[schmuls]

28. liberals are mentally ill and cheer whenever a soldier gets killed

[spooked911]

29. that there really are WMD and Saddam hid them in Syria

[Ron Mexico]

30. "Since we're going to lose people in New Orleans, I hope

it's all of the welfare parasites. I'd prefer to see the productive ones live and the ones who suck off the government teat die and get the fuck out of our wallets."

My jaw dropped so fast that it almost dislocated itself. I know this guy and can tell you that he was completely serious. Completely.

[Avalux]

31. "God made Bush president. It was his will"

I've actually heard someone say this. :scared:

[bobbieinok]

32. have heard many say this......also 'Isn't it wonderful that God

went into the ballot boxes and made sure Bush won' !?!?!?!?!!?

[Rocknrule]

39. Someone actually said that???

So God is apparently a Diebold employee

[bobbieinok]

76. oh yes.......the day after the 2000 election at least one church in Tulsa

had a prayer service that 'God would be in the ballot boxes'

when colleagues and students would tell me that God chose W, I said 'my God does NOT STEAL elections'

just blank stare of incomprehension

[Ariana Celeste]

63. I've heard that, too

Ugh. Wtf is wrong with some people?

[free_spirit82]

68. Have you been talking to my dad? n/t

[flygal]

34. "Why do they make such a big deal over 2000 soldiers dying

We lost that many each day in WWII" I've heard that one twice.

[KeepItReal]

35. "I won't fight in Iraq because I can help the cause better here at home"

Young GOP'er said this at the RNC convention when asked if he supported the war so much, why didn't he volunteer for the military.

[mindfulNJ]

37. "If you have nothing to hide

then don't worry about it" In response to the NSA scandal.


:banghead:

[AllegroRondo]

72. "So you dont mind if I rummage through your briefcase?"

great response...

[Marr]

41. "We found WMDs!"

Had a marine buddy of mine come home not too long ago after serving in Baghdad, and he was convinced that we'd found huge caches of chemical and biological weapons, *and* a developed nuclear program. Said it had been all over the news and that I must have "missed it". I could not convince him otherwise.

[Bouncy Ball]

42. "We should be allowed to take guns into schools, churches

and hospitals."

"Why?" I ask him, horrified.

"Because we can't" he says.

"Well," I say, "we can't eat toddlers, either, doesn't mean we need to make it legal, eh?"

Wingnut assole: "Huh?"

They're fucking idiots, the lot of 'em.

[Yollam]

43. "We're just regular people - we have to trust the President's judgment"

"They have access to all kinds of information we don't have, so we just have to trust them."


People like this have zero understanding of what democracy and civic duty and participation are supposed to be about. Politicians are supposed to serve US, not the other way around.

[Critters2]

48. But that sort of thinking

did wonders for Hitler and Stalin.

[denese]

44. "Bush is a great leader"

From my own father.:eyes:

[Maddy McCall]

45. "I don't care about the Constitution. Bush is protecting us."

Sad, because their knowledge of the history of our nation is non-existent, and they think it's just dandy that the president cares about the nation so much that he'd spy on us. :silly:

[Hosnon]

59. You actually heard that?!?! Good GOD... nt

[Maddy McCall]

60. Yes. This is why...

I think that all high school students should pass a course on the US Constitution BEFORE they are allowed to graduate.

[stop the bleeding]

47. "We have morals" - meanwhile Iraq is happening n/t

[Initech]

49. "Bush won, get over it."

I have gotten over it, I hope you ignoramouses do the same. I personally am looking ahead to the next election.

[VolcanoJen]

51. "I call it culling the herd."

Actually, I didn't hear this verbatim, but it was relayed to me by my mother.

The comment was made by a wingnut asshole to my mother, during that awful week of Hurricane Katrina.

[donkeyotay]

53. That President Carter was "a waste of skin"

spoken by the newest brownshirt Beck that CNN just hired, and who (according to KO) had just made a statement about how we wasn't going to be total scum the day before.

Just one little outrage in a long list, but CNN should fire his sorry ass for this comment about President Carter, who had committed the offense of making a factual statement: the King's were targeted by illegal spying by our government (and dirty tricks as well).

They really can't handle the truth.

[mariema]

54. If you are against the war you don’t support the troops,

a short version of a very long winded and vitriolic statement said to my husband, who spent 25 years in the military and was in 2 wars, by his aunt.

He was so patient and polite while I was just seething and wanted to scream "Which one of your broad-in-the-butt boys served his country? Last time I checked: NONE!"

[stepnw1f]

55. "I'm a Patriot and You Are a Traitor!"

That was the saddest thing I have ever heard coming from a Republican.

[shtinkycat]

56. From a neighbor: "We vote Republican because

of the morals thing." I asked her if she thought Democrats were against the "morals thing."

[lpbk2713]

62. That really IS pathetic.

There's never been such a pack of thieves and liars in the White House before. The magnitude of their plunder is monumental.

[karynnj]

57. Bob Dole's "He never bled" & "There must be something there"

about Kerry's injuries and the SBVT.

These were the saddest as Dole was a former Senator, Majority Leader and Presidential candidate. Knowing that he served in the Senate for years with Senator Kerry - that he would say these things giving these liars credibility is beyond despicable. That Senator Kerry called him to express his disgust is great.

[SammyBlue]

58. "I have just declared the Soviet Union a threat to Freedom. The bombs

will fly in 15 minutes." Ronald Reagan.

[izzybeans]

61. "I want to see PROOF and FACTS that Bush lied about going to war."

Uhmmm no you don't. You want to explain all the proof away and I can slap you limp with facts and you'd still be numb. All you'd do, Mr. and Mrs. wingnutjob, is walk away saying "Oh the Irony. A left winger with no respect for diversity of opinion." Now that is a tragic comedy. Open up any of the shadow wingnut websites that troll this board and you'll find this in every one of their posts.

The next most pathetic thing comes from PowerLine, but in the form of a whole article. I will paraphrase: "Dick Cheney broke no laws. He is an honorable man. This non-issue about outing a supposed undercover agent is soo yesterday. I mean who cares about the proliferation of WMD's anyway?" this was from today.

[Ariana Celeste]

64. "The only reason Europe isn't helping us,

is because the Muslims have taken it over. And if we don't win in Iraq, and all over the Middle East, they will take over America. This is a Holy War."

And that was just a small fraction of the things my Evangelist Uncle had to say to me a couple years ago about the war. I haven't spoken to him in about 6 months now.

[Rocknrule]

65. Two things

"Who cares what the world thinks! Fuck the world!"
"I refuse to listen to you! President Bush forever!!!"

Some people are so far gone it's beyond sad. They'd eat his shit if they could.

[jokerman93]

66. this is no doo-doo!

"We won Vietnam."

[AZBlue]

70. "Mission Accomplished." Or the one I heard personally:

"The good economy during Clinton was due to trickle-down economics from Bush Sr." Because trickle-down means that the effects aren't seen for a couple of years.

I didn't even know where to begin with that one!:crazy:

[Critters2]

78. You might begin with

"trickle-down" was Reagan's theory, and Bush Sr. didn't agree with it nor really encourage it.

RW'ers...how do they function without brains?

[AtomicKitten]

71. just about any of the rhetoric de jour they parrot verbatim

[KyuzoGator]

74. "I've watched the video..."

"...and that woman is not in a persistent vegetative state."

[dysfunctional press]

75. "I do"

he was marrying a friend of ours whose biological clock overwhelmed her common sense.

[against all enemies]

77. "Bring it on"

[against all enemies]

79. "Max Cleland isn't patriotic - He doesn't stand for the National Anthem"

[Joe Fields]

80. Let's go vote now, hon.
