A little research assist?
I'm trying to find the source of the guy's "information". He's pretty much dominating the comment threads on our local newspaper, seems to be available all day, every day; and he enjoys dumping these huge piles, without citation, into the conversation, thereby rendering any meaningful discussion well nigh impossible. Anyway, if you recognize a possible source please let me know? By the way, his screen name is "Obummer". Thanks for the help!


The Left does not even begin to see their own hypocrisy, much less the disproportionate share of political violence within their ranks. Or maybe they do see it, and think nothing of lying about it. Or maybe they just don't care all that much about violence (when it comes from their own side). Breaking a few eggs to make omelets, you know.

As Dostoevsky prophetically wrote, foreseeing the political horrors of the twentieth century, "If there is no God, everything is permitted."

*********
*Don't forget, it was Obama's friend Bill Ayers who used terrorism as a tool for political change. SDS is still radical, with arrests in 2007 and the storming of the CATO Institute in July 2008.

*It was a liberal who was sentenced to two years for bringing bombs and riot shields to the Republican National Convention in 2008.

*It was liberals who intimidated and threw rocks through the windows of researchers.

*The two Black Panthers who stood outside polls intimidating people with nightsticks were probably not right-wingers.

*Every time the G20 gets together, it's not conservatives who destroy property and cause chaos.

*CNN Bobblehead Rick Sanchez tweets: "are our fundamentalist zealots different than the ones we fight in afghan and iraq?"

*Democratic National Committee crowd attacks Fox News crew.

*Huffington Post blog organized protest groups to take stalking bus tours of AIG executives' homes.

* Who burned Sarah Palin's church?
**************
Worth repeating in light of the stupidity that will no doubt be spewed by the left wingers.

*It was a liberal who bit the finger off a man who disagreed with him on health care.

*Remember the movies about killing President Bush? Liberals reviewed them as "edgy" and "provocative."

*How about when the North Carolina Republican headquarters was torched and ransacked?

*How about when the Bush-Cheney HQ was riddled with bullets?

*It was Obama-loving Amy Bishop who took a gun to work and murdered co-workers.

*Joseph Stack flew his plane into the IRS building after writing an anti-conservative manifesto.

*It's liberals who burn down Hummer dealerships.

*It was barack obama who said "they bring a knife we bring a gun to the fight"

*It was a liberal who threatened to kill a government informant who infiltrated her Austin-based group that planned to bomb the Republican National Convention.

5. I tell these people to provide links proving that these things happened..
Edited on Wed Jan-12-11 09:37 PM by cynatnite
I would also have him or her prove that it was liberals. I would also specifically ask what he or she thinks a liberal is.

Most people like are clueless and ignorant. Chances are this person copied and pasted all this from some RW site. They can't think for themselves very well and require Palin's, Becks, and Limpballs to tell them what to think.

on edit: Keep in mind you'll never change his or her mind.

6. When asked to provide citation
he usually responds with some smirky comment about 'dumb libs need to be led by the hand'. And, as merely another reader, I have no way to compel him to provide links.

8. I would ask why the refusal to provide proof?
Are you afraid that your source won't hold up to scrutiny? Is there something you don't want anyone to know about where you got all this from?

Put him on the defensive and keep it up. I would constantly remind everyone that he is afraid to provide sources for his assertions.

Either he'll spend a long time looking for adequate sources for only some of his assertions or he'll provide some RW site listing them all. Either way, not everything will hold up and you can go from there.

I used a passive agressive approach when dealing with these types. It frustrated them a lot.

9. Check out this list of Internet Argument Techniques
Granted, it's meant to be humor, from Cracked Magazine, but there is great truth to it, as I have seen each and every one of them used... ESPECIALLY by right wingers!

7. There's about a dozen of them from what I can tell
I don't want to know where they live, nor do I want to know who they are. I might have to ream whoever it is a new asshole.
