republican pundits truly are IDIOTS.

"Today, I went on the Michael Medved radio show for an hour. What a riot. I'm talking on the show and explaining why I don't think privatization would help young people---He starts hollering about how it is an outright lie that anyone supports "privatization."

So anyway, Medved is like, and this is a paraphrase, "you are a liar, you are a liar, President Bush's plan would not privatize Social Security."

So, I read this quote from George W. Bush as reported by ABC News on October 30, 2002: "What privatization does is allows the individual worker - his or her choice - to set aside money in a managed account with parameters in the marketplace."

So then he starts calling me a liar for saying that there are politicians who want to get rid of Social Security entirely...He's like, I dare you to name one politician who supports phasing out Social Security. I read him this quote from Congressman Chris Chocola: "Bush's plan of individual investment of 2 percent of the money is a start. Eventually, I'd like to see the entire system privatized."

At that point, Medved just lost it and started saying that Chocola was not a real Congressman. Repeat: When confronted with the facts once again he accused me of lying and said he doubted that there was really a member of Congress named Chris Chocola."

5. Medved has always been an ass.

You are brave to put yourself in his clutches.

6. The idea is to constantly keep you on the defensive

doesn't really matter if any of it is true or not and he knows that, but if he makes you keep defending your position it makes him look stronger.

That's why you have to loop it back around each time as in: Now that we've established you were wrong about George Bush's plan to privatize the system...........

Now that we've established that there are republicans who want to destroy social security........... etc.

11. That's exactly what freepers do.

They challenge your statements, and when you catch them in a lie, they shift the argument to something else. They're constantly moving the goalpost so you can never win with them.

They also love ad hominem arguments - attacking people is their favorite sport. At that point, the only thing I think you could do was say that they cheat and call them liars.

12. They love Strawman too...

I don't know what I'd do if I didn't have the Conservative talk shows to tell me what I "really mean" when I say something totally different. By god, if they weren't cherry picking words and phrases out of what I say, and then restating them in a way that sounds totally stupid and totally different from what I really said, how would I know how totally stupid what I (apparently) said was when I didn't say it!

Ok, does any of that make sense? I got lost about half way through.
