(6,151 posts)Everybody makes the occasional typo, usually easy to spot as such. But the TPs are basically some of the most ignorant people on earth, and the most vicious, nasty, rascist and seditious carbuncle on the rear end of humanity. That's what gives us the right to ridicule them, and I for my part intend to continue. As will many others, 'polite' in your eyes or not.

The truly sad thing is that the person who wrote this has no idea that it doesn't say what he/she thinks it says. The even sadder truth is that this person who is clearly uneducated, deeply ignorant, and more than a little dim is also politically active.
You really can't make this stuff up can you?
OldEurope
(1,273 posts)that uneducated or disabled persons should not be allowed to be political active? Except, of course, if they agree with you.
Please consider this:
Half of the population is by definition under the average. Normally they notice at school that they are not the brightest ones, and they all to often learn it the hard way. They are less successful, and they are well aware that intelligent people, like many DUers, are looking down on them. Nobody likes the feeling to be inferior and ridiculed. Everybody needs some respect and selfesteem. So when somebody emerges and tells them that they are even better than those elitist well-educated leftists, they are thrilled. And when this Pied Piper shows them that he is just as stupid as they are and nevertheless can be a very successful politician, and even a POTUS, he will get all their votes. Not because they liked the politics, which is beyond their capability to understand, anyway. But because that man or woman on the stage made the impression not be one of those elitist intellectuals who constantly say things they do not understand.
Also, I cannot tell you how often I've read the notorious there-their-they're-mistake here on DU.
Edited to add: Don't forget Matthew 5,3: "Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

(6,151 posts)How about not throwing pearls to swine? How about not tolerating liars? Does accepting and thereby committing evil bring glory to God? St. Paul didn't think so. You either call people on their crap or become party to it. Folding your hands piously and refusing to struggle against evil is not saintly - it's aiding and abetting the worst instincts among us. Believe me, poking a little fun at their ignorance is nothing compared to the hell they'd bring down on everyone if left untouched in their mass stampede to the netherworld.
Read Lewis' "Screwtape Letters" if you don't believe me. Or, "The Great Divorce" in which he argues powerfully that evil makes a deadly bedfellow.

(15,882 posts)be taken seriously. I mean, if they are big enough men to push around smaller and weaker female cops at the White House, they should be man enough to stand up for their own literacy, dontcha' think?
Btw, half the population may be "under the average", but that doesn't mean we need to accept an average which is that low. Perhaps instead of calling people out for pointing out errors as if one was in a 4th grade American classroom, it would be more helpful to encourage the Palin-following-Teabagging-inclined to read something more than "anything...everything".

(82,383 posts)takes true ignorance. That person had heard the word, but never read it, because they don't read a lot. No one says they should not be politically active. And they are. And they can take the heat like they dish it out.
And the people in leading positions should not be the stupid people.

(37,726 posts)Sometimes when I'm in a bind or a hurry I may invent a new word too. A word like Neanderf*ck. And I think it is a very fair description of most every republican I've ever known. If we could buy republicans for what they're worth and sell them for what they think they're worth, every swingin' d!ck in America would be in the 2% club. Nobody would have ever heard of Newt's government shutdown curse.

(578 posts)Would it kill to just spend, literally, 2 seconds to check one's spelling? Unless, it was a prank by someone else. Or maybe the owner really does believe in the Ant Christ? Now, that'd be something.
