Let's have a laugh--Share the dumbest things you've heard a Conservative poster say somewhere online

In a recent online "discussion" I had with a rabid rw ranter, he claimed all media was owned and controlled by DNC Marxists.

When I asked him to please explain in detail with support evidence how Rupert Murdoch and Comcast were both DNC Marxists, he stopped responding and disappeared.

And there are the "slogans-slingers"...
I also had 1 RWer claim the GOP was the party of "Rugged Individualists" rather than "takers" Like liberals and Democrats.

When I asked for a few specific examples of how the Koch Brothers and Mitt Romney were "rugged individualists",
the responses promptly stopped coming.
See a pattern here?

Got some good examples of your own?


Whether funny or just pitiful,
please----share the stupid.

but some years ago on a non-political list connected with an interest in books, someone mentioned a campaign by the Concerned Women for America to, among other things, investigate school libraries for books that might encourage homosexuality. Another poster said that, as a progressive Christian, she saw no religion but only hate in this group's campaigns. Then a third poster, mainly noted for using the list for anti-abortion statements, posted:

'this is part of what you think is so right ...'.

followed by a link to NAMBLA.

That's one of the worst that I can think of at the moment.

To be fair, the guy was not hitting on all cylinders, or even most cylinders.

Cutting taxes increases revenues.
(Just like decapitation helps clarify thought)

Save the babies!!!!
(But don't spend a dime on assisting their families in any way)

Billionaires like the Koch bros are morally superior to the rest of us.
(As they destroy the world for profit).

Undocumented immigrants are evil, bad lawbreakers.
(But the white people with money who constantly hire them
& lure them into the country are innocent)

Our troops are heroes.
(But when they return wounded they cease to exist).

Abortion is murder.
(But war$ for profit are fine, and Capital Punishment is great)

Most teachers are bad.
(But all investors are great and perfect and should be regarded as gods)

Dennis Miller is still funny.
Uh, really?

Ted Nugent is a great American.
(Nearly as great as GOPer Ted Bundy)

I was being called out for a Women's Choice bumper sticker by one of the holier-than-thou Tea Hadists. How could I possibly agree to abortion? I calmly told her that if the Catholic Church would allow condom use that there would be no reason for abortion. I drove away, she was still looking at my car. Priceless.l
