Why are so many DU'ers falling for bullshit? [View all]

[Scootaloo]

A casual stroll through the "latest" pages brought me to this question. It seems every fifth thread is someone barking about how the Democrats / Obama had better not cut social security or medicare benefits. Lots and lots of these threads, and they all have one thing in common...

Not a single fucking shred of evidence to back themselves up with. Nobody has referenced any source from Obama or the Democratic party that cites any plan to slash into these programs. None. And yet, here are DU'ers up in arms, in a frothy rage, as if these plans were actual, and immediate.

They are not. The only "evidence" we have is a bunch of speculation and "reasonable advice" from the very same "liberal media" outlets that spent the last week nursing on Romney's cock, trying to bring his campaign back to life by wishful thinking.

I just want that to sink in for a moment. The very same peopel who not eleven days ago were telling us a Romney win was certain and a blessed achievement for America, are now telling us, "Oh well, the President should start hacking into benefits."

And DU'ers - some DU'ers, some who I would personally refer to as "the usual suspects" - are just livid. Post after post they tell us how the goddamned motherfucking backstabbing democrat sons-of-bitches and that two-faced conman they put in power are all going to fuck us over on Social Security and medicare! FOR REALS, NO JOKE! And, of course, when you repeat a lie often enough, people just start to believe it... So then I see other, presumably less... irrational DU'ers picking up the meme and speaking as if this is really happening, which leads the general community to absorb it because hey, even the cool kids are talking about it, it must be the real deal.

WHY?! Jesus fucking Christ, people. You really, really are going to slurp that vomit off the floor, aren't you? I can't fathom this, that the same people who just rallied the fuck up to give this president a goddamned landslide... are suddenly first in line to stab the shit out of him over some unsubstantiated bullshit speculation being promulgated from the very same sources that were rooting for the other guy. You really, honestly think that the first thing this guy is going to do, is start dry-humping the Paul Ryan budget plan. That's what you think? Why? because an editorialist for CNBC thinks "he should do this?"

Take some deep breaths, people. Get some oxygen back in that bloodstream, and fucking think. No, no, our president and our party are not going to suddenly reveal themselves to be the motherfucking antichrist as a collective, though some of you very clearly wish and hope for that. No, they are not going to "throw social security under the bus," nor medicaid or medicare. it would be fucking dumb And if there's one thing we can say for sure about this administration, it's that "fucking dumb" doesn't apply.

However, it does apply - and has been applied frequently - to the very people telling you what a scheming, two-faced, backstabbing devil Obama is. Now if you want to buy that product, I guess I can't stop you... But I can say that it's not the truth. If you are that ready, that eager to shoot yourselves in the foot over some idiots shooting off their mouths, well... there's not much I can say about that...

Except that we went through this already, two years ago. Same sources, same parrots, same panic. I'd rather DU not spend the next two years psyching itself the fuck out over bullshit and nonsense from the motherfucking Washington Times editorial pages.
