Heh - "Birth Certificate frothathon" creates new freeperism - "mute point" for "moot point."

I admit, great article but now what? Unless this is brought to the attention of a committee, court or something then it’s a mute point. Oh, I forgot, if it’s going to a committee, court or hearing they are all radical socialists and will throw this “claim” out and call it “preposterous”. Also, then you’ll be labeled a “racist” and a radical.

Like I said, great work you did and I am convinced even without your research, but all is in vain.

1. I thought it was a "moo" point

You know, like trying to talk to a cow!
:rofl:

...Okay, I stole that from Friends, I admit it. :hi:

[soothsayer]

7. It's like a cow's opinion (I think that's what Joey said)

loved it!

[MorningGlow]

10. Oh! You're absolutely right!

And I needed a good laugh, so I visited YouTube. Dear gods, they've got everything there! Have a chuckle:

2. Not to cast asparagus, but "mute point" has been around for some time

I think it even predates Al Gore's invention of the Internets/

[onenote]

3. and it shows up here on DU from time to time

sadly.

4. Carrots to you for reminding us that

if Dan Quale can misspell so can DUers

5. I learned the word "Moot" from Jessie Jackson on SNL in the 80's

"The question is moot! I'm in charge, I'm the host, I get the car."

I guess the Freeps missed that episode.

[mkultra]

18. ME TOO!

wow, amazing.

[gmoney]

19. "It's a car! It's a new car! It's a new red car!"

I love "The Point is Moot"

[blondeatlast]

6. The hole issue make me want to spoo. nt

[shadowknows69]

8. Holy fuck I wish they were mute

[yardwork]

20. You said it!

[madamesilverspurs]

9. Hmmm. Rambling and disconnected

syntax with an awkwardly placed 'also'...

Gee, could it be that Ms. Palin hangs out in Freeperville?

[EstimatedProphet]

11. "Mute point" - a point that really shouldn't be spoken.

[acmavm]

12. Man, I love these guys. The best comedy material on Earth.

[surrealAmerican]

13. We've seen this one before. This is the sort of mistake ...

... that is extremely common among people who don't read.

[zbdent]

14. Wouldn't a "mute point" be one that would finally shut these a*holes up?

[TygrBright]

15. Dang, does this mean Freepers come with a mute button?

Why hasn't anyone found it an used it?

wishfully,
Bright

[foxfeet]

16. From your mouth to God's remote.

[LibertyLover]

17. My otherwise well-spoken and Democratic husband

always says "mute point" when he means "moot point". As a legal assistant, it drives me bonkers. I've tried for 10 years to get him to say "moot" and it ain't happening.
