The ILLITERATI

[BecomingBrainy]

This is the secret society that you all thought existed, but only had little snippets of evidence.

Now they have come out in force -

Medicare Recipients who don't want government in their health care.

Morans who didn't study the english language, don't know the facts, and write all about it on big signs. (The sad thing is when their kids also hold the signs.)

Katy the Plumbers who have no respect for their government or their country and have no clue about current events for the last 30 years. Then they go yell (not talk, but yell and be rude) at a U.S. Senator.

Scum who hide behind despicable signs that causes law enforcement to take them into custody.

Racists who have no idea what Communism, Socialism, Marxism or Nazism are, and then prove it to everyone time and time again.

This group, known as the Illiterati, are showing themselves in their true light; almost illuminating themselves.

1. Classic! I love this!

:rofl:

ILLITERATI!

[cdsilv]

3. one of their leaders is 'Mediocrates'.....

...who famously said "If at first you do not succeed, quit, don't be a nuisance."

[winyanstaz]

49. bwhahahaa

[Seldona]

51. ROFL!

You either laugh or cry at this point. The people that want the government to keep their hands of their Medicare are my absolute favorite. I bet they walk into doors, etc, a lot.

It is amazing that there is a meme that somehow these people should matter. They had their chance to create their own reality, and they blew it. They majorly, big-time, blew it. The proved over and over again how incompetent, and corrupt, they are.

Yet here they are with a seat at the table they didn't earn? Not only that, but the people who did earn it aren't even invited? Very odd.

2. The Illiterati Rule the Idiocracy...

Makes sense to me.

Welcome to DU.

[Echo In Light]

5. Must be a very big organization w/a striking low criteria threshold

[BecomingBrainy]

6. It is a nation wide organization

All you have to do to join.....is want to hate.

[scheming daemons]

7. You're new... but I like you, BecomingBrainy

Good stuff.

[opihimoimoi]

8. Yup, they are the result Creeping Ignorance mostly due to being illiterate and/or alliterate

stuck on HS Level...even after many years, because of inadequate attention to continuing ed.

Not very astute but passionate in their beliefs, they are ripe for Mind Control efforts by others, in this case, the Pub Masters...

Ignorance allows for Arrogant DeFiant BULLYISM...this is not a way to ATTRACT... other than bad attention.

[kestrel91316]

61. I only WISH they were stuck on HS level. Try Third Grade.

[bain_sidhe]

9. I love this so I'm bumping it!

It's such a perfect term, combining elements of their "tin-foil-hat" mentality with an accurate description of their nature.

[dotymed]

52. I HONESTLY BELIEVE

that if THE FAIRNESS DOCTRINE (was not killed by Reagan) we
would see MUCH fewer "ILLITERATI". And if THE
FAIRNESS DOCTRINE is reinstated (by OBAMA), these disgusting,
morons will dwindle in number. Let's face it, when the Florida
Supreme Court, declares that a "NEWS" program (on
FOX) has no obligation to tell the truth to it's viewers, then
(of course) America will become populated and run by
(Idiocracy) people who have no idea of the truth....Palins
death panels....need I say more?

[loyalkydem]

10. New television series

coming this fall on Fox

[NBachers]

37. also watch for "Big Bother"

[blm]

11. Wikipedia entry: The Illiterati is the name for groundtroops funded by The Illuminati

who call them 'useful idiots' behind their backs.

[dugaresa]

12. the not so fancy name for them is dumbshits

[redqueen]

13. lol

[DCKit]

14. Anyone know an evil Gypsy? I want to curse them all with a personal poltergeist.

No, they've already got a "Coultergeist".

Doesn't that sound like a hoot?

[Bozita]

15. DayGlo Illiterati, lumination through ignorance

Sounds like a Fortune 500 company.

[BlooInBloo]

16. Win.

[JBoy]

17. K&R! And a hearty welcome to DU!

[TexasObserver]

[SammyWinstonJack]

20. K&R

[valerief]

21. Love it!

:rofl:

[DeeDeeNY]

22. They follow orders

They're just doing what their right-wing radio masters tell them to do.

[lunatica]

23. Very good and welcome to DU!

We love people like you! Smart AND witty.

[Emit]

24. DUzy fer sure

[rhiannon55]

25. The Illuminati control the Illiterati by keeping them stupid

That's why they are always looking for ways to cut education funding.

[asdjrocky]

26. This is a K & R!

[stevedeshazer]

27. An instant classic.

What you said.

[PatSeg]

28. Welcome to DU!

The sad part is they'll think "illiterati" is a real word AND they'll think it's a compliment.

[rosesaylavee]

29. Yes! I have seen them!

:rofl:

Why hasn't this been sent to the dungeon with all other conspiracy theories? IBTL

[TheKentuckian]

30. Dead on and then some. I like the way you think!

K&R

:kick: :kick: :kick:

[KakistocracyHater]

31. trouble is, the Right has made it difficult to hear the truth, tv doesn't

much help with it, neither does radio, or newspapers. Internet access is the main sourrce (my keys keep doubling today:blush: ) but you have to actively pursue it. THAT is something believers of Rightwing Dogma will not do. The only way to give them a chance to change their minds is thru tv, radio, & newspapers easily available. Now find the rich Lefties who are willing to go buy these.

[on point]

32. You are wrong! They are Ignoratti !!

I believe they can read (almost), but they don't read from knowledgeable sources and refuse to immerse themselves in fact. They are neolithes, the ignoratti who would prefer delusional nonsense rather than deal with the truth.

[glitch]

34. You're both right - and you're both welcome to DU! nt

[Mnemosyne]

43. I will second that. Great OP! n/t

[druidity33]

54. What about the Illuminutti?

KInda like shining the light on strange and precarious nuts?

:)

[crazy_vanilla]

33. Bravo!

your post says it all

[pangaia]

35. Morans

Why is it that nobody on DU seems able to spell morons? Aren't we smarter than that? :>))

[on point]

38. Say Doc, I think you mean Maroons! (chomp chomp)

:-)

[Mnemosyne]

44. I believe they are moroff than an!

:)

[B3Nut]

47. 'Morans' (sic) is a dig at this guy:

It's a long-running DU inside joke. :)

[kestrel91316]

62. On DU we spell it "morans" - and for a very good reason.

[RagAss]

36. Common Racist scums.

[HCE SuiGeneris]

40. In before the move to the dumbgeon,

wear reel eyedeers get disgust.

[MrMickeysMom]
