DNC offers holiday guide for dealing with Republican relatives
Washington Times ^ | 11/24/15 | Kelly Riddell

Posted on 11/24/2015 5:14:22 PM PST by markomalley

The Democratic National Committee sent an email Tuesday to supporters with advice on how to talk to their Republican relatives during the holiday season, referring them to a website aimed at debunking right-wing talking points.

“It’s that time of year — full of food and fun and celebrating with family and friends. But we here at the DNC know that occasionally all that togetherness can lead to some … let’s call them ‘lively’ conversations about politics with one Republican uncle,” reads the email, sent by Luis Miranda, DNC communications director. “So I’m officially deputizing you to serve as a Deputy Democratic Spokesperson this holiday season — and giving you special access to all the facts you could ever want.

“We’ve designed a handy website with the perfect responses to all the most common right-wing talking points spouted by your family members who may spend a little too much time tuned into factually-challenged conservative talk radio,” the email reads.

If they won’t listen, call them a racist.

Repeat as necessary.

Good questions to ask a liberal relative on Thanksgiving.

At what point between 0% and 100% taxation do you become a slave?

If you had $100,000 that you must invest for retirement - would you put it into an IRA in your name and invest it as you see fit or give it to the government to invest in Social Security?

Why does the White House have a fence and require ID to enter?

Are there any problems that can not be solved by bigger and bigger government, more and more regulations and higher and higher taxes?

Don’t associate with any liberals at all, not that we have any really around here in this county.
They need talking points and told what to say , but have no idea what they are on about while telling each other how smart they are.

Helpful hint for those of you with Democrats coming to visit [snoop] for the hildays :

Jackass should be cooked at 40 minutes per pound at 350 degrees. Why serve turkey when jackass is free?

My brother in law was a Clinton lap dog.

During thanksgiving or Christmas, during impeachment, I mentioned his rape. It wasn’t in the news yet. He went into a rage, his head almost exploded. Screaming rage.

Why do we require ID to buy beer but not to vote?

That "one Republican uncle" can't enjoy Thanksgiving because the mob family will do anything it can to cram fake TOFUrkey [lies, deception] down his throat.

These wretched propagandists never sleep, even have holiday talking points. Explains why the Dems want the folks to discuss gun control at the table as well. The uncle isn't crazy, he just has no use for wolves in sheep's clothing.

What makes her think we’d invite Democrat relatives? Fortunately, our family has none, so we will not waste our precious time together arguing with the clueless.

The democrats might think about not wasting their time and mine.

I won’t waste an iota of energy arguing with ‘talking points’-regurgitating brainstems repeating the nonsensical sh*t that passes for intellectual discourse in “progressive” circles.

Sarah, same here.

All of my immediate family members and friends are flaming liberals. They still live in the central city. That's why I moved up north and out in the country and no longer attend their Thanksgiving and Christmases.

Show them this (Table III-C). the national debt increased by $578B in just 22 days. I know “Progressives” are math challenged and exponents are over their heads but that’s a new record!!

They lack natural boundaries of decency and respect for others. Then when normal peaceful people choose to avoid them, out come accusations toward the good-hearted of being intolerant and anti-social. And on Thanksgiving, too...

They feast on Gotcha games. Thus they can starve.

We only do Thanksgiving dinner with my sister, her husband, my Mom, my brother and his girlfriend. My brother is more “moderate” but his girlfriend is as Conservative as they come(Thank God otherwise I would tell him to dump her!) my sister and her hubby are both Republican, he served in the Israeli army so obviously he is very pro Israel
