So when do the left start to learn to make themselves not completely repugnant to America at large? They were screaming racist at everyone who questioned them spending like crazy, but after the midterm election you’d think they’d learn to try not seem like arrogant, out of touch idiots. So what are they doing now? Fleeing the state to avoid budget issues and defend the oh so popular teachers’ union from the realities of the economy.
In an attempt to help, here is an FAQ to help liberals argue better.
POLITICAL ARGUING FAQ
Q. I don’t like the opinions of some other people. Should I go scream at them?
A. That doesn’t work in convincing people. You need to try engaging them on the issues.
Q. What if I’m sure they’re racist?
A. Do you have any basis to believe they’re racist other than that they disagree with you on tax and budget issues? Make sure you’re not just using that as a distraction to avoid the issues at hand.
Q. That sounds like racist logic! Where are you? I want to scream at you!
A. This desire to scream is actually due to your inability to argue on the issues. The best solution may be to rethink your positions if you’re having trouble defending them.
Q. My positions are not wrong! You’re just dumb! Why do you have trouble understanding how dumb you are even though I keep screaming it at you?
A. You’re not going to convince people by being angry. You have to ask yourself: Do you want to convince people on issues affecting this country? If so, you need to sympathize with other people and understand their positions.
Q. That sounds like something Hitler would say! You won’t trick me with your Nazi tactics!
A. When you keep imagining your political opponents as evil as possible to hate them more, then what you’re really hating is really things that exist in your own psyche. You might want to focus more on self-examination than political arguments.
Q. So, if the political opponents I hate are really within my own brain, should I throw myself through a plate glass window?
A. I can’t see why not.
What’s really sad is that’s exactly how libs argue. They think if they just scream louder or make the most ridiculous accusations they win the argument. I’ve had more stimulating, intelligent conversations with my grandson soon to be one year old than liberals. He makes a lot more sense than they do.
All of this is just a fancy, polite way for us to tell them that they’re a bit loony. Reminds me of good old Milt Friedman’s way of handling Phil Donahue.
“So when do the left start to learn to make themselves not completely repugnant to America at large?”
When they stop being the stupid left.
Q: I saw Sarah Palin on TV, should I rush around in circles screaming in fury and hurling poo at passerbys?
Logic? We ain’t got no logic. We don’t need no logic. I don’t have to show you any stinking logic!
Plastic bag, duct tape, marxist. Some assembly required.
Q. If I scream at you that you are a crazy right wing rethuglican that conspired to cause 911, do you give me money?
A. No, but I do offer you a bag and duct tape.
Q. I scream at you that you continually cause
global warmingclimate change, do you buy a prius?A. No, but I do offer you a bag and duct tape.
“Q: I saw Sarah Palin on TV, should I rush around in circles screaming in fury and hurling poo at passerbys?”
A: Well, that’s the standard “progressive” response to Sarah Palin. Don’t forget the foaming at the mouth part, looking like you have rabies is an important part of the liberal response.
Great stuff, Frank. Now if only we could get liberals to follow your handy advice…
I’m surprised the entreprenuer in you hasn’t added handy, wallet sized cards with all those tips printed on them to your store. Or maybe stickers…then we could just paste them to the foreheads of libs.
Karen, Proud Infidel is correct.
However, it’s also important to not actually listen to what she says. When telling your friends how “stupid” she is, just quote lines that were actually said on Saturday Night Live and attribute them to her.
Bratgirl –
You mean like a forehead sticker that says:
“Like Obama, I’m bending over for you.
and one on the back of the head that says:
“Do what you need to do.”
The answer to the last question should have been: Only if it is 20 stories high or greater.
Son of Bob says:
“However, it’s also important to not actually listen to what she says.”
Absolutely correct, I forgot that most important fact. Otherwise, if they listen they might actually THINK about it and we know how detrimental thinking is to the progressive mind. Better to not listen and yell “WAAAAHHHH! SHE’S WAAAAACIST!
I sense a new T-shirt. Maybe sold in tandem with a Nuke-The-Moon T-shirt.
Or just print them on buckets The White House will buy entire lots of those.
Did anyone else catch the PPP poll regarding the damage done to Palin by the Tuscon shooting?
It seems that screaming, playing the race card, being angry, calling your opponents Hitler, running in circles, flinging poo, and foaming rabidly at the mouth work much better than we would wish.
That sound like something Hitler would say….
Umm….wasnt it Republicon wingnuts who were labelling Obama as a Nazi?
Or even better, a Nazi Communist. HAHA….awesome win on name calling AND history knowledge…a nazi communist….lol

Ha! I knew this was a fake post. Frank J. gave himself away completely by typing “You’re just dumb!” If this were a true record of a real conversation with a real leftist, it would have used the Leftist Preferred Spelling: “Your just dumb!”
the right is now accusing the left of being too angry? have any of you seen a tea party rally? or watched o’reilly/beck? how about a congressman yelling “you lie!” during the state of the union? you all can’t be serious.
It’s also funny that you accuse people in the left of carelessly invoking Hitler to anyone who disagrees with them… and then one of the commenters mindlessly tosses out the Marxist label at democrats.
I’m sure there’s a difference in your minds.
#19 – Bob,
Not only have I ‘seen’ tea party rallies, I’ve attended them.
And O’Reilly/Beck? One congressman yelling “you lie!”? Those are the best examples of anger on the right that you can produce?
The vulgar, rabid, hysterical rage on display in Wisconsin for the last 2 weeks shows where the real anger dwells.
Bob, you mean the Tea Parties that unlike the standard left-wing demonstrations, have not involved any violence, looting, or vandalism? Or the tea parties where left-wing psychos bite of people’s fingers and punch 5’1 Women?
