YOUR REPUBLICAN UNCLE

The holiday season is filled with food, traveling, and lively discussions with Republican relatives about politics sometimes laced with statements that are just not true. Here are the most common myths spouted by your family members who spend too much time listening to Rush Limbaugh and the perfect response to each of them.

Leave it to the heirs of Pavlik Morozov to make politics their faith and the party their family. Sad and scary.

OTOH, I checked out a Democrat site on Facebook and most of them find this objectionable also. Good for them!

Bump!

[wbill]

Truly, Liberals are helpless.

[BillyBonebrake]

Oh man, I am literally the Republican Uncle tomorrow.

Hoping none of my socialist in-laws choose to degrade the purpose of the day at hand.

Bring up Global Warming’s newest theory... that global warming causes Muslims to turn into Terrorists.

Then ask: “Why does global warming only turn Muslims into terrorists?”

Actually, just be nice to everyone on Thanksgiving... all liberals aren’t evil... well, there’s a rumor to that effect.

In the book “Animal Farm” before an event the pigs always instructed the sheep in what to say.

Well, if any Democrat in someone’s family decides to use the talking points from this laughable website then they’ll know who not invite over for Thanksgiving ever again.

[sauropod]

I just went to the Vox one. More complex and ‘nuanced’ but still full of BS.

What to say
by the DNC

Snide, arrogant statement: With all the cooling, it sure doesn’t seem Global Warming is real.

Well thought out answer: You’re just a tool of the evil oil corporations!

Ignorant statement: I don’t know if it’s wise letting millions of refugees in here.

Open minded response: You’re just a racist hatemonger!

Outright lie: I don’t know if raising taxes is a good idea during all this economic turmoil.

Wise, considerate response: When are you going to get over the fact that the president is black!

[Tzimisce]

This should be pretty easy.

Every answer: “You’re a racist!”

[PghBaldy]

It is called brainwashing!

[Hoodat]

So this means democrats (in my opinion) are too dumb on their own to counter their conservative relatives

This has been my experience. When engaging liberals, I usually ask questions that force them to defend their position against proven economic fact. For example, in regards to socialized medicine, I ask them if they can name a single example where a monopoly provided better services at lower cost than a fully competitive market. They usually respond with, "That's not fair. You know more about this stuff than I do." And then they go right back to relying on pure emotion rather than critical thought.

disavowed relatives bump for later...

When I looked at it yesterday, Bush was the number one talking point (7 years after 2008) and there was no block for Hillay Clinton talking points.

The first rule of Clinton lies and do not talk about Clinton lies.

[a fool in paradise]

The DNC was providing talking points back to the early 2000s if not before that. it was under their section for seminar callers to conservative talk radio.

They re-arranged things on their site and I never saw where they moved them to but I doubt they ever went away.

[a fool in paradise]

This reminds me during the Monica Lewinsky episode. The popular defense for him, especially when he lied under oath, was to claim they all do it. I would ask them to name others. Blank stares

Democrats are sorry you misunderstood them. They meant all CLINTONS lie when under oath.

[Fhios]

So now political correctness is going to unleash man made abominations?

[unixfox]

The RNC should say: "We hope that you and your family have a peaceful Thanksgiving and that you cherish your time together."

"And when you celebrate, please remember the men and women of our Armed Forces who could not be with their families this Thanksgiving, so that you could be with yours."

Oh, and by the way, ***MERRY CHRISTMAS***

[Hoodat]

Remember this?
