I was really asked tonight...
Edited on Mon Mar-22-10 09:02 PM by whatsthebuzz
if I supported Mao, Stalin or Lenin. All because I support Obama. And the healthcare reform. I just shook my head due to that comment. Came from a person who thought GWB was incredible and that Obama is a foreign Muslim who doesn't believe in our Constitution. She couldn't even spell it correctly.

8. You could return the favor
as well as the hyperbole by asking since she supported Bush* if she also supported the likes of Hitler, Mussolini and Franco.

2. Don't even try to argue with a person like this.
They are incredibly ignorant.

13. Would you believe that
this shit came from a well off woman with an MBA? Nice woman, nice family. But 9/11 turned her on to the Kool-Aid for some reason.

15. The Third, Without Doubt
John Lennon was an influential musician, peace activist and from what I understand, had a sharp sense of humor.

I know that's not what they meant. And John Lennon probably would have thought President Obama was too conservative.

16. Someone should devise a list of 20 questions for people like these.
Edited on Mon Mar-22-10 09:19 PM by tabatha
If they cannot answer all 20, they should be told to go do some reading before any meaningful discussion can be held with them.

23. It's easier to have someone tell you what to think, than to think for
yourself in so many of their cases.
