The left and their use of the DUMB card ( e.g. Palin & Bachmann are dumb )
8/17/11

Posted on 08/17/2011 2:38:55 PM PDT by sushiman

They used to say Reagan was a dunce ...Bushes 1 and 2 were stupid ...Quayle was an idiot because he spelled potato wrong ...Now I'm in an argument with a friend of a friend on Facebook whp says his cat has more brains than Palin and Bachmann , and that Hilary has forgotten more than they know put together ! What would you saud to this jerk ? I just can't ignore him . This was my latest response :

" Typical leftist modus operandi : use the dumb card ( or race card or whatever other card is at their disposal ) ...Reagan was a dunce they said...Quayle an idiot because he spelled potato incorrectly ...Bush was a 1 and 2 were stupid ...Now Bachmann and Palin are dumb ...So predictable ...Only the left have brains ...I see ...I see all too clearly ..."

I’d love to be as “dumb” as Michele or Sarah.

Yep.The Left has failed in everything it has attempted with no apologies or even recognition of the failures but we`re the dumb ones for sticking with the tried and true stuff.

They`ve ruined every Western society and country on Earth but they are the clever ones LOL

Very simple, ask him for facts. Ask him to prove that Palin and Bachmann are dumb. Tell him no opinions, only facts and that if he is unable to back up his claim then he is by his own admission an idiot.

Ask him to show you what Hilary has accomplished--specifics, not general unsupported claims, then provide him with Palin's and Bachmann's accomplishments. Shouldn't be hard, Hilary's greatest claim to fame is being the wife of a President and the (expletive deleted) who called General Patraeus a liar. What are Hilary's accomplishments what has she done to earn his undying admiration, being a liberal Democrat is not sufficient--in fact it is prima facie proof that the woman is an idiot, as all liberals are idiots.

When I use your type of arguments with a liberal they always come back with “You are a jerk.”

Yeah. Tell him to put his cat on Facebook so you can talk to someone with a brain.

and there's your answer. If he is unable to back up his claims with facts, then he is guilty of being an idiot, because only an idiot, or an intellectual Neaderthal, would assert something as fact that they can't prove.

It also proves that his belief is a religious belief, since it then become a "faith based belief."

If you "KNOW" something is "true" but can't prove it, then your belief is solely based on faith . . . in this case, the religion of liberalism.

Of course, the best action is to LOL him everytime he claims something like this and ask him where he gets his news, from Jon Stewart, or SNL and then ridicule him.

Alinsky's Rules for Radicals highly recommends ridicule, because it is impossible to counter. It's their playbook, so use it against them.

Ask him if he thinks hillary knows what *is* means.
You cannot talk to these people as if they are normal. He’s pushing your buttons. Push back. Make HIS brains, (or lack thereof,) the subject.

Having a political discussion? So?

It happens. I think it’s a little childish of someone to unfriend a friend because one of their friends is having a political back and forth.

When did everyone get the vapors at the idea of political conversations?

I just ask; “got anything new?”

Liberals who destroy everything they ever get their hands on call victims of their destruction ‘dumb’...

They’ve been calling conservatives “dumb” for over 50 years!

I YAWN in their general direction.

“They’ve been calling conservatives “dumb” for over 50 years!”

Strange, I had this smart/dump arguement just this weekend with a relative. We hung up on the 72 election with her claiming that Nixon was not charactarized as dumb.

Hilary has forgotten more than they know put together

Remind him that Hillary was the favorite in the 2008 primaries, and blew it with blunders like the Bosnian sniper and assassinationgate.

Various FReepers have told me that the Chicago political mob has destructive information they can use on the Clintons if necessary.

Apparently it is destructive enough that it kept the Clintons from using their vaunted private detective operation from delving into Baraq's "ghost" background and blowing him out of the race.

It’s really the only thing that works with these types. Facts don’t mean anything to them. They just want to get YOU on the defensive. Don’t do it. If you get frustrated, they win.

“Ridicule is man’s most potent weapon. It is almost impossible to counteract ridicule. Also it infuriates the opposition, which then reacts to your advantage.”
Saul Alinsky

Ain’t nothing says we can’t use their weapons against them. What amazes me is that they NEVER expect it.

That are proudly defended by the Marine Corpse to protect us in spite of leadership failure and shovel ready jobs that weren't quite shovel ready.

...wow cool
one exception in more than 50 years...what a counterpoint!...though, it’s probably only a half-remembered cronkite meme like quayle and potay toes

I’m stymied by that one!

,,,not!

if not “stupid”
“evil” suffices....tricky dick...yeah smart/ ok...evil nonetheless.
I buy none of the memes, they’re used by the left for covering up their lies.
Sorry.

Memes = the new word or phrase that, repeated often enough, become pseudotruth.
There’s a REASON the troops, liberating the skeletal death camps of hitler made surrounding villagers clean them up.
