"Get Over It" as a response to ANYTHING is a Freeper argument.

[Pale Blue Dot]

A woman came into my store today wearing a t-shirt with an American flag surrounded by the words the words "If you don't like it - get out!"

If you are not clever enough to make a coherent argument, and you have to resort to saying "get over it", then you've already lost.

I call for a DU moratorium on "Get Over It".

1. Finnfan, I wish you a path ahead that's free of freepers.

They are the horse nettles of politics.

2. It's is like the old joke...

...where a redneck tells an American Indian that he should go
back where he came from.  So the American Indian goes and
camps on redneck's back lawn.

5. Red neck - lawn? Huh?

[Nobody]

3. Ever see the email spam that starts with "Life isn't fair"

And the lesson is that you're supposed to accept that life isn't fair and deal with it. Instead, we should see how unfair life is and do whatever we can to make life more fair.

Nobody's motto: If you don't like it, change it.

4. Or as the FireSign Theater said, "Live it, or live with it."

7. Use their own attacks toward you against them

i.e. "George Bush hates America and emboldens the terrorists", "The Constitution: Love it or Leave it", etc

:evilgrin:

8. How about

"I'll put it into simple terms that, not only will you be able to understand, but you actually uttered: GET THE * OVER IT!"

[helderheid]

9. tell them to take their own advice n/t

[treestar]

10. It's their way of being snarky and condescending

But is not entirely limited to conservatives.

Agreed, those are words that get in the way of persuading people, and don't do a damn bit of good.

12. coming from people obsessed with communists

and a 40 year old war in South East Asia, it's rich.
