Lately I have been shutting up rightees by
saying forcibly. "If I wanted your opinion, I would watch Fox news!"

It is astonishing how well it works, to shut them down.

sometimes I add "Propagandist" just before opinion, depending on how angry I am.

4. That's a good one!
Opinions are like assholes -- especially if they come from Glenn Beck.

8. Amateur.
I spit in their faces and then punch them in the testicles while they're blinded.

I'm hardcore like that.

Now if you'll excuse me, I'm off to the store for more artificial tanning spray.

9. I also found a "Tighter grouping" of shots through my target
at the firing range does it too.

BTW would ya pick me up some "hair in a can" while you are at the store?

11. My son in law is not an out and out wingnut or teabagger but he leans that way..
He's also a former Marine..

The funny thing is that he won't shoot with me any more because my groups are nearly half the size of his, he really doesn't know what to think of an aging hippie that can outshoot him by that much.

I'm not sure if I've told him I was on the rifle team for four years in HS or not..

14. Lately I've been having friendly conversations with them,
And convincing them the error of their ways. It takes a while, being friendly and all, but you can usually pull a number of votes out of the Republican column.

15. I agree
I only pull that wit out when the tea leaf pusher butts in or interrupts me. Or otherwise, attempting to control the conversation or refuses to listen to reason.
usually used only, in a group setting.
