Those who are voting for Obama are uninformed.

Example: FB today...

--------------------

Someone's status:

I'm not awesome with politics. But I do know that a Romney presidency would have terrible consequences for immigrants, women, the LGBTQ community, the elderly and the poor. If any of my friends are supporting Romney-Ryan, I urge you to reconsider...or at least let's have a conversation.

RW Nut Job:

Actually, your premise that 'Terrible Consequences' would ensue, is false. I would urge your friends to be informed...

My response:

"Informed" by Fox, I'm sure you mean...

RW Nut Job:

Actually no...but you make my point, thank you.

My response:

Oh, I make your point? LOL those who are voting for Obama are just all "uninformed." Whereas those who are voting for Romney are either uninformed or disinformed, or both. There's a difference between information and propaganda.

------------------

The arrogance of these people is MADDENING!

those pesky things called "facts" in them. And I tell them to read and educate themselves. And then they unfriend me.

I had one person delete my article link so I just described in the next two or three responses and got help from others.

thant much. Unfortunately a lot of them are equally happy these days if they live in a house where others won't put up with FOX "News". They can tolerate CNN, get online for Newsmax or any other right-wing site. We know it's all the same though. What really matters is that they only watch right biased shows or listen to their favorite hate radio pervert.

They get all "I don't listen to Fox!" and then spout off talking points verbatim.

something, without EVER providing substance or objective source support. Then say, "... you make my point ...", when, in fact, they just illustrated their very own point themselves.

Lather, rinse, repeat, repeat, repeat, repeat, repeat . . . .

I'm pretty certain they are working from databases of phrases, so that they can go fast and, thus, go everywhere all over the internet, looking like there a lots of them, when it's really just some people echoing empty meaningless words.

The repetition of the form is clear in the excerpt you use. Classic nothingness from empty people.
