If we so dislike the “sophomoric name calling” by the left, maybe it would be a good idea if we refrain from doing the same thing ourselves.

But...but...but...? They’re intellectually superior to everyone else? Right? :)

I hate to point this out, but Mr. Winters engages in the same tactics he bemoans in the Enemedia.

BTW, Liberalism is an infantile mental disorder. There is no reasoning with it. A rubber room and much medication administered to the unfortunate liberal soul is needed to deal with this sickness.

Rules For Radicals

#5 “Ridicule is man’s most potent weapon.” There is no defense. It’s irrational. It’s infuriating. It also works as a key pressure point to force the enemy into concessions.

At least they never engage in hate speech. Marxists never could defend their beliefs.

"..it will not be long before the Progressive is left void of intellectual ammunition and will resort to name-calling or pithy rhetoric attacks.

that ship has sailed, honey.

It’s all thanks to leftist blogs and people like John Stewart.

They made it “cool” to think that condescension, snark and sarcasm is a legitimate form of discussion.

Once younger people made their way into big media outlets, that type of trash began becoming part of their operations openly.

i find it sophomoric only in the fact that these unctuous bumpkins are 100 percent WRONG ..100 percent of the time.

When leftists accuse me of being condescending for having the temerity to best them in discussion, I tell them of course I'm being condescending; condescension means to put aside one's dignity or superiority voluntarily and assume equality with one regarded as inferior, and is the only way we non-leftists can talk to them.

right simply wont acquiesce social issues to the left

What resistance are they talking about? The cultural Marxists have won on all fronts. The final push will be to make paedophilia as normal as having tea and cookies with Granny.

And the GOP will fall in line when the courts agree.

... belied their utter intellectual impotence...

The word belie means to give a false impression, or to demonstrate the falsity of. I think the author means "...demonstrated their intellectual impotence...".

If it weren’t for eye-rolling, name-calling and disparaging adjectives, Progressives wouldn’t have any arguments to make at all.

members of the liberal media have belied their utter intellectual impotence by once again resorting to name calling of their conservative opposition by referring to them as "clowns" and "zombies" in the press.

libtards believe that the stupid masses are unfit for freedom and need to be ruled by the libtard intellectual elite for their own good.

Whorealdo attacked Miss Geller with one of the most vicious, hysterical screeds I've witnessed to date.

He attacked HER personally because he can't attack THE TRUTH.

Between he and the raving Juan Goebbels Williams plus the parade of murderous crazed guest muslims, Fox is becoming almost impossible to watch.

Hannity has the right heart, but his tolerance of violent, unintellible overtalking, screaming, shouting on his show is causing me to tune him out, also. He not only tolerates it, but encourages it....and participates in the wild cacaphony himself.

I will NOT be subject to visual and audio torture forcibly beamed into my frontroom and my psyche by conniving hosts, their regular pundits and their freak guests via TV shows run amok!

Fox you, Fox!

Well, I actually find the sophomoric name calling by the left, and in particular by the two individuals you reference, to be small potatoes.

My recommendation to how to respond to them is a good belly laugh and something like "is that the best you have?" or "Oh, Oh, you really hurt me there ... what will I do?"

Show them directly that they have NO power over you, and that you consider them lower than whale poop on the ocean floor.

I think it is the American way, and the primary rationale for creating and defending the 1st Amendment, to laugh at, ridicule, snark, and belittle your opponents (once they initiate a verbal attack).

I have to believe that a fair number of FReepers will at least smile, if not bust out laughing, at the snarky and humorous comments and visuals posted here in response to yet another leftist verbal attack on Conservatives.

I reserve the right to belittle ANY leftist who is attacking in the hopes to destroy this country, just as I reserve the right to leave them be, if and when, they decide to stop.

Let's keep hackin' and slashin' at the tentacles of communism (and Islamism), and let the chips fall where they may!
