Hear hear!

Although I'd go one step farther. I'd rather see some of 'em in jail. Or in the loony bin (mr. gohmert...).

I'll join you, madokie!

Agreed. My mom's friend sent these obnoxious emails around, and forwarded chains of others.

He'd rhapsodize about "I love a cowboy" when bush2 was pResident. That was a nauseating one, considering dubya was about as far from being anything remotely like a real "cowboy" as I am. Farther, even, because I'm not afraid of horses as he is. Then later, this individual would eagerly circulate the "my rights are being violated because I'm not allowed to say the n-word" email. Ever see that one? GEEZ, Mom, you're friends with this person?

He really believed this shit. And he influenced her thinking as well. YOIKS. It IS dangerous - and not a little bit scary - to have that many people so far out on the loony edge and embracing that mindset so thoroughly that they are indeed unreachable.

Welcome to DU, gregcrawford!

Great to have you join us! It's really ridiculous. And saddest and most discouraging of all - THESE are the people who will make damn sure to get to the polls and vote. I wish more of us voted - to cancel them out. It just grates on me to think - OUR side, that isn't infected and rendered mentally impaired by watching Pox Noise, those of us among liberals who keep ourselves well-informed, believe in and value science, and appreciate the much-needed separation of church and state, OURS are the ones who are more likely to stay home.

And now that I've written that and really looked at it, I must admit that sadly it does make me start wondering - "well, then, exactly WHO are the stupid ones?"

Welcome to DU, johnnylefty2000!

Good to have you with us! What you see is what you get. They tend to be poorly educated and gullible, and willfully ignorant - and they're undoubtedly kept that way by loyally watching only Pox Noise. As long as that condition continues, that's how they'll be. They'd probably refuse to believe it, and go ahead and drink it. As some have said here - "the stupid is strong with this one, Luke."

Welcome to DU, project_bluebook!

Glad you're here! If anyone needs further proof, there's another thread here that tells us that the marvelous Mensa-member louie gohmert fancies himself fit to challenge boner for Speaker of the House. Lord Have Mercy...

Awwwww... what a cutie!

I love rescue pets. They're the best! And they seem to know they've been rescued and given a wonderful new life. Our Goldie sure behaves that way. The cats? Well, they're cats.

Not even then.

It's going to take a national lobotomy to make her fade away. Needed. But won't happen.

Welcome to DU, dissentient!

Glad you're here! Great list! That "throwing under the bus" line should have been abolished several years ago. OVER-USED!!! Same thing with "at the end of the day." Wonder what we'll be sick of by this time next year?

I'd nominate "in fact" as far as anything dick cheney says. Ever notice how he likes that phrase best of all, and throws it around rather frequently in his assertions (especially when those same assertions are flat-out LIES)? "We will in fact be greeted as liberators" for example.

I'd also nominate "Kim wants..." which is also over-used, as is ANYTHING with the word "Kardashian" in it.

Oh Dear God - I'd hate to see this ding-dong elevated to that position but

it'd almost be worth it. I knew he was the poster-child for STOOOPID, but didn't realize he's THAT ridiculously empty-headed. Amazing how high his self-esteem is!

They deserve it, frankly. The GOP deserves to have THIS pathetic know-nothing as the face of their party in the House of Reps. The Party of STOOOOPID.
