Someone on FB referred to Obama voters as "noneducated, non working leaches" (sic)

This time, it set me over the fucking top. I just spent the whole night calling this emm offer out in front of God and Everybody.

I have *never* used the eff word so much. Or any of the profanities. I have a *double* *doctorate* in the profanities after this night.

I am *over* these low life degenerates calling "Obama voters" names as much as I am *over* racists using racist terms.

And it's pretty fucking close to the same fucking thing, too. ENOUGH!

What's worse is that they can't even spell the words they are using to insult.

Oh no. ENOUGH of these fucking tea baggers.

But only because I remind myself of the audience...and because I try to avoid those ambulatory hunks of God Dung, all marching in lockstep. They upset my equilibrium.

She said CUNext Tuesday was a sexy term and she liked being called that, so I proceeded to refer to her as that, offering that I was using her preferred term of endearment.

Oh, it was *bad*.

She is not even my friend. And some guy who is not my friend either started sending me messages, asking questions about the economy, etc.

I might be able to switch one yet.

edit: typo.

You know, recently I have had a guy who asked for friend status fly off the handle at me over a comment on his upset with his cat...drama queen stuff. He then told me I should not have so many opinions, especially since I wasn't an American. I sent all of his rants about Obamacare off into the ether.

The top 10 poorest, least educated states are red states. And red states collect more federal aid while blue states pay more in revenue. Unfortunately, the people who say such things as that poster are usually too uneducated to understand and accept facts and evidence.

I am sick to death of Democrats and liberals being blamed for *everything*. (Thanks Obama!)

You have to call them names back too sometimes, so they just don't go around thinking it is ok to spread that around. Oft repeated lies and all…

UGH! I am so frustrated.

Misspelled words would indicate there are apparently lots of GOP voters who are needing some more education. When those like Todd Akin and even times when Palin would not show her lack of knowledge by keeping her mouth closed is nit portraying the highest degree of education. I know they are indoctrinated on FOX who does not air the truth most of the time.

Last month I was defriended on FB because a RWer was passing information about people 76 years old would not be getting cancer treatment. I challenged them and their link was to HB 3200 and the HB 4872 was the ACA bill passed. I was told I was dumb,dumb, dumb but I returned the correct information.

Bush wasn't the smartest rock in the pile but the dumb GOP elected him anyhow. Now who sounds dumb?

Being of almost impeccable Caucasian ancestry myself (Using BIA-like criteria, I myself could be classified as being a full-blooded white), I've called such Tea-dregs "debits to the white race" and enjoyed myself when I did so.

Why get worked up over something some stranger said? Who cares what they think?

Besides cussing up a storm and calling them a c--t isn't an way to motivate someone to your line of thinking.

*I* didn't *start* the name calling. And I had a very polite conversation with someone who wanted to talk the economy. BTW, it ABSOLUTELY *IS* the way to get rednecks to my line of thinking.

The biggest complaint rednecks have about Democrats is a lack of chutzpah.

When they see a fighter, like Bill Clinton, Howard Dean, etc, we *win*.

She threatened to beat me up. I told her any day she thought she was man enough (and then corrected her grammar). Tea baggers are USED to being called out, and stood up to. In fact, they've gotten away with dreaming almost every public debate as a result of it.

Well not that time. And little missy will think twice before she unilaterally insults anybody again.

Trust.

Sat Nov 23, 2013, 12:51 PM

but we have the facts on our side. Also, be careful the other side of the uneducated wants free stuff meme the Republicans put out is the "liberal elite" meme they use on blue collar rednecks. The Republicans have carefully crafted their message of hate. They use "wants free stuff" for the working middle and upper class, and the "liberal elite" meme for less educated working blue collar. The liberal elite meme is the person who thinks they're better than you because they went to college and don't understand the average working person, or your asshole boss. Of course, it doesn't matter that's not true.
I'll try to look up some data and links and post back later this afternoon.
