I've HAD IT!!!!

[tpsbmam]

Just got into an increasingly nasty discussion with a moronic, Republican Kool-aid drinking, pea-brained, hypocritical, shit-for-brains relative. I'll say it -- if McAddled wins, I hope every fucking person who votes for McCain/Palin suffers before all of us with the brains to vote for Obama -- I hope their jobs get outsourced, they lose their houses, they go bankrupt and they end up on the welfare program they denounce at every given opportunity.

Fucking asshole -- how do they breathe with their heads buried so far up their asses?



Thanks for letting me rant!!

[NightWatcher]

1. I think we should also get to kick them square in the ass. or smack them in the head with a fish

[Initech]

20. I approve of this idea. I'll go get my steel-toed boots.

[Errrica]

60. And I'll get the fish!

2. What did the relative say to get your knickers in such a twist?

[tpsbmam]

10. She started out with calling Obama a Marxist in an email she sent out.....

and when I called her on it, she got all pissy like I wasn't supposed to challenge her. And get this......asshole used to work for Fannie Mae, which was started by that Marxist Franklin Roosevelt as a New Deal program to help pull us out of the Depression.....you know, that era we got in large part thanks to Republicans like Herbert Hoover. She had no fucking problem taking her salary and bragging about her job! And now you and I will be paying her fucking pension -- more corporate welfare. Arrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrgggggggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!

She claims I didn't address her "ideas." I asked her what "Ideas" she might be talking about -- all I heard was her spouting the Kristol, Limbaugh, Rove, etc talking points and doubted she'd ever read Marx. Oooooooo, I'm an ivory tower bitch because I've actually read Marx and both candidates' platforms!! Shoot me now!

[MadrasT]

15. Well see, there's your mistake...

Too educated. That pisses 'em off every time. Hug because I'm fighting a similar battle. :hug:

[tpsbmam]

22. ::::::hanging head in shame::::::::::

I know I broke the Republican rule......I guess we just keep up the good fight. Or I block her emails. :evilgrin:

[Myrina]

3. Your relative must be a co-worker of mine!

:spank: I'm surrounded by idjits like that :(

[jovi]

8. Be careful not to give yourself high blood pressure!

I feel like my head is going to explode when I talk to a Republican- I try not do it often!! Thank god I am in the middle of marathon training!

[niyad]

48. welcome to DU. I don't encounter the repukes often, even in this reddest of counties--

but I did the other night at an art gallery reception--twice within a couple of minutes. had almost forgotten how completely clueless they are (thank goodness the gallery was serving wine!!)

[ZombieHorde]

62. Welcome to DU

[MadinMo]

38. We must work in the same place?

I'm enduring "NoBama" signs in this office!

[d_b]

4. This is how I deal with it

"Did you vote for Bush? You're a fucking idiot."

It never fails.

[tpsbmam]

13. ROFLMAO!!

Okay, you guys are making me laugh......BP returning to non-stroke-inducing levels. :rofl: :rofl:

[MadrasT]

17. Nice. Mind if I borrow?

[d_b]

18. go for it

Mind you, I'm a 26 year old male, big guy, quite good shape. So results may vary.

[gateley]

5. I feel the same way, although I'm kind of ashamed I do, but there you have it. nt

[MarkInCA]

6. Fucking asshole -- how do they breathe with their heads buried so far up their asses?

By farting?

[tpsbmam]

11. OMG,

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[Mopar151]

31. It's another medical miracle

A transparent, oxygen permeable membrane is implanted in place of the navel, so's they can see to get around.:hide: Talkin' is no problem - these yowzers been talkin out their ass for years......:grr:

44. LOL!

7. I can't play an online golf sim without endless dipshit hick comments.

You would think, in an environment where you go to relax and de-stress, you could play a couple rounds of sim golf without hearing "If Obama gets in, this country is done!" but NOPE.

So yeah, I feel ya. Been there done that, almost every single day. :grr:

[Captiosus]

16. I know the pain.

Xbox Live has had an abundance of people talking politics lately.

During a particularly random McCain love fest by a couple random people in a quick game of Uno on Xbox Live, I changed my user icon to the free Obama/Biden one Microsoft made available for their Rock the Vote campaign. I figured if they were gonna talk politics, I'd wear my colors proudly and if they don't like it, tough.

[cottonseed]

9. They will. And they'll continue to vote Republican.

The poorer, less confident, more uneducated you become, the more likely you are to vote Republican.

[elizfeelinggreat]

12. bumpersticker material there

[lpbk2713]

14. Willfully ignorant.

I know people like that too. And I hope they put their
heads on the chopping block before anyone else I know.

19. Now go fix yourself a nice cup of tea and nibble on some exquisitely

expensive dark chocolate and compose yourself, so you can get right back our here fighting the good fight!

[tpsbmam]

25. Oooooooo, chocolate.....

chocolate fixes everything. :9

21. Geez.... I hope this is someone who can read

[tpsbmam]

24. Sadly, she bred......

hopefully the kid will be the rebellious sort and not follow his fascist parents' horrific example.

[Fireweed247]

23. Logic has no meaning

There is some powerful brainwashing going on in this Country. Are people really this stupid or are they being affected by brainwashing forces that we do not understand....remember the subliminal(subliminable) messages during the first Bush campaign in 2000? I think they have perfected their technique. Has anyone else noticed the strange sounds that begin and end every commercial break on Rush Limbaugh and other right wing radio shows? Perhaps it is in the water, or our cell phones? There is something going on here, people cannot be this stupid!!

[specimenfred1984]

30. Propaganda is 100+ year old artform, both corporate and gov't

It's very easily understood by a lot of people. Read a few books on the topic and it'll explain why the message the repukes get never changes, why "evil" others are demonized, why fear is sold to everyone, etc..., and stop listening to Lameballs or you will start hearing things, LOL.

[Fireweed247]

36. I understand the power of propaganda

but I think they have gone far beyond their normal channels. There are new technologies available and I am sure they are not afraid to use them. As Bush says in a shocking moment of truth "They never stop thinking of new ways to harm our country and our people, and neither do we"

[Lydia Leftcoast]

61. Here's my theory about contemporary propaganda

It's no coincidence that the biggest Bushbots are suburbanites. Never mind the megachurches, which only reinforce the Republican message. It's not only that many of them slept through half their high school classes, especially history, which they regarded as "boring." It's not only that the entire culture equates militarism and patriotism and acts as if waving the flag is all that is required for good citizenship. It's the radio. Your average suburbanite, especially in the Sun Belt, is stuck in traffic for a good part of each week.

If said suburbanites start listening to talk radio, they find validation for all their complaints. The trouble they have making ends meet is not because they are paid too little or because they insisted on building a trophy house and driving 50 miles each way to work in an SUV--it's because of taxes. The traffic jams are not due to their own driving--it's because those tree huggers are spending money on mass transit instead of on adding a tenth lane to the nearby highway. The WTC collapsed because Bill Clinton didn't catch Osama bin Laden, and because Saddam Hussein was behind 9-11. Welfare is the single largest item in the budget, and it all goes to black people and illegal immigrants. You know the spiel.

Then they get to work and meet up with their colleagues, who've been listening to the same garbage, and they stand at the water cooler and reinforce each other. Then they go home and watch Fox News, which claims to be the only "fair and balanced" news station. On the weekend, their megachurch tells them that opposition to abortion and taxes and hatred of gays are the marks of a good Christian.

There's a total information environment at work.

[wilt the stilt]

26. never discuss policy

a sure loser discuss character and sacrifice.
I use this line of attack
Obama has done everything you conservatives have asked him to do. He pulled himself up by his bootstraps, he went to the best colleges by meritocracy and loans. when he graduated from Harvard Law he became the head of the law review. He graduated Magna cum laude. He could have written his own ticket to millions of dollars. Any top law firm would have taken him and made him a "token" but instead he went back and gave back to society. These kind of people don't come along everyday.

Mccain on the other hand cheated on his wife and then dumped her. He has collected a government check his whole life he finished 889 out of 894 in his class. he only got to fly by connections. go look up the requirements to fly. he cheated in the keating 5 and the worst is when he was swiftboated by Rove in 2000 in South Carolina he didn't even defend his family. A man with no backbone. Look at the campaign he is running. It is against everything he said he would do.

[melody]

27. They'll drown like turkeys in the rain

It'll catch them entirely by surprise.

[Dukkha]

28. I was upset this morning from seeing the first McCain/Palin sticker on a car

On a neighbors car right outside my condo. It’s bad enough some idiot dumbass in a working class diverse neighborhood supports the two pigs, but to be enthusiastic enough to put it our there on a sticker, house banner, etc is mind boggling. I must watch who owns the car so I know who my enemies are in the neighborhood. It’s been all Obmama all around here up to now.

[CitizenPatriot]

29. can relate

just had a fight with lifelong friend. he sent me some palin email that a "Neighbor" wrote (obviously to counter the GREAT one, but not sourced...duh) with a comment that everyone was entitled to their opinions.

I wrote back:

but they are not entitled to their own facts.

No word since.


It enrages me that their opinion is supposed to equal a well researched and documented email which was used by numerous newspapers after having been properly vetted. EMPIRICAL FACTS or FANTASY OPINION AND DOGMA?

Bangs head harder.

CHECK YOUR REGISTRATION
TELL FAMILY AND FRIENDS TO DO SO AS WELL
MAKE SURE ELDERS CAN VOTE
MAKE SURE 18 YEAR OLDS ARE REGISTERED
VOLUNTEER FOR OBAMA
DONATE MONEY EVERY TIME PUBEPIG LIES

[IndependentDem]

32. Just had a similar experience with a co-worker regarding my Obama sticker...

he made some comment about how I must not have been thinking clearly when i put the sticker on my car and then said some shit like "how can you live with yourself for support a guy that hasn't made any accomplishments in his life"

normally i would have been nice but today I am sick and my allergies are kicking my ass so I laid into him and ended with me asking him to name one of McFuckStick's accomplishments other than the POW stuff... he had nothing so after a few times of me saying "come on name just one thing he has done" he finally gave up and said "well the raiders still suck" unfortunately i didn't have a comeback for that.

My fuse is getting really short with these fuckers!!

[tavalon]

33. That's the way the powers that be want it

They want us to be fighting with each other so we don't band together to fight against them. Think about it. They've got us right where they want us. And btw, notice I didn't use brand names (R or D) in any of this.

[IndependentDem]

55. I know what you mean... But who are the "powers that be" nt

[tavalon]

56. Now, there's an interesting discussion, isn't it?

[IndependentDem]

57. and your theory is.............?

[tavalon]

59. If we have to divide it into two groups, I would say it's the super-rich

and the rest of us. But I also think that many corporations are almost self aware and very selfish. I think I'm getting to the point that I should put on my tin foil hat.

[SammyWinstonJack]

46. And yet I bet he voted for bush, didn't he?

how can you live with yourself for support a guy who hasn't made any accomplishments in his life

Bet that didn't bother him in '00 or '04. :eyes:

[lib2DaBone]

34. I have been getting emails all day from

...Republican friends. They keep sending me these cute little pictures about Palin... how she is a hunter and Hockey Mom and how "Elitist" Obama is. These are people with VERY good jobs. Not stupid people by any stretch, but they are almost oblivious to current news events or anything that has happened over the last 8 years.(Things outside of their focused world) These are people who are still part of the "system",(who make a LOT of money) as oppopsed to people who are laid off, outsourced or downsized. I guess if you are rolling along and you can still drive your SUV, then the American Dream is still alive for you. It's so frustrating... I can't even talk to these people. Once I mentioned the Downing Street Memos and Abu Garib... and they said they had NEVER heard of this? They called me a "conspiracy nut". I don't know what parallel universe they live in, but this is what we are up against. Maybe its me. Maybe I AM the crazy one? <rant off>

[dana_b]

47. you are not crazy

"elistist" Obama? geez.... well he must have EIGHT houses then! Damn elitist - growing up with a single mom on food stamps.... that damn hoity toity richie.... working for the underserved and as a community organizer.... damn richie!!

So what is elitist about him? That he's intelligent, well informed and a professor? THAT'S elitism?! I thought that was just educated. I guess it's better to know nothing and have to learn on-the-job. Yeah, that's how I like my presidents! Dumb as a fuckin' stump - just like their speeches!!

[wryter2000]

35. This is spooky

I finally got fed up with my freeper friend this morning and cut him out of any communication. On my way out, I told him I hoped he'd have to live with Bushies in charge but that the rest of us would get something better.

Are you me? :)

Was it Lipstickgate for you? That was what finally put me over the top.

[tpsbmam]

39. Only if

you're 5'10, female, gorgeous, weigh 126 pounds, have a FANTASTIC life and you're filthy rich. Then I'd be happy to be you. ;-)

It was pretty much Bush for me.....it's been building for 7 years until I finally can't take it anymore! McAddled & Palinocchio have definitely put me over the top though. Well, that and the endlessly stupid people who'll vote for them.

[wryter2000]

52. Well, I'm female

And I once weighed 126 pounds.

I've been "talking" on a message board with this guy since Before Bush, but he finally got me yesterday. I couldn't believe he believed the BS about lipstick. This morning, he said one more thing and I blew.

[MadinMo]

37. I also hope their sons/daughters are the first picked in the draft

that will be inevitable because of the 100 year war in Iraq and who knows where else.

[tpsbmam]

40. Yeah, that too.... n/t

[wryter2000]

53. But only if their kid is a stupid as they are.

Of course, if the person him/herself is under 50, they could be drafted themselves.

[SammyWinstonJack]

41. I have often thought that those who voted for bu$h TWICE! should have been the only ones to suffer

from his devastating failed policies and the only ones to fight his oil wars for profit. Too bad that is not the way it works. x(

[lib2DaBone]

42. Here's what they sent.. that set me off....

[underseasurveyor]

43. Well ya know there are some insects

that breath through their butts. Well there are:evilgrin:

But yea I can agree with you on the mclame/phalin voters suffering thing. Unfortunately that will affect everyone else too but we're already suffering so if the worst does happen why the hell not get this shit over and done with. The collapse of Empire.

[wvbygod]

45. with a straw

Put straw in nose before putting head in ass. It really works that way for some definition
of straw. nose and asses.

Oak tree you're in my way.

[niyad]

49. this was on a bumper sticker on a total POS in my neighborhood: "clinton--the reason stupid

people shouldn't be allowed to vote"

after seeing it several times, I had to do it. I left a note on the POS saying "let's see--you work as a manual laborer, for a pitiful hourly wage, you live in a cheap motel, and you drive a POS. YOU, my friend, are the very definition of stupid."

[niyad]

50. this is my prayer: for all those who began this situation, created the lies, the war, and all

those who enable and support them, may they receive EVERYTHING they deserve"

the disgusting thing is, I have been told, repeatedly, by someone who is supposed to be oh-so-spiritual and highly evolved that it is US who are responsible for bushco and mclame, etc. we are supposed to just ignore it all, and stop feeding it our anger and energy, and it will all just go away. I no longer speak to this person.

[samuraiguppy]

51. thank god for

the smart democrats like you! we are going to take back this country.

[deaniac21]

54. I hate everyone who disagrees with me too!

58. FUCK MCCAIN! FUCK PALIN!

THEY ARE SUCH ASSHOLES! I AM SO TIRED OF THEIR REPUKE BULLSHIT!
