1. Short lies. Composed of slogans, soundbites and smears. Often just four words or less. Things like "tax and spend", "Fight then over there rather than over here" "Pull the plug on Grandma" to name just a few.
These are effective to many because they are so short. Become the thought processes of the small minded or fearful.
2. Long worded or winded essays that typically twist a few truths or over emphasize trivial shortcomings of Democrats or Liberals. An argument that just takes longer to emphasize the complete nonsense (than number 1 above)These type are the more snooty repukes (the ones who try and distance themselves from the mental midgets who write the short stupid lies listed in 1 above). The only difference between them and the trailer trash conservatives is they have a bigger vocabulary. Both are equally mean spirited and dense.
The goal of their journalistic diarrhea is supposedly to impress Moderate voters into buying into their B/S. Less effective than the slogans in 1 above because nobody wants to take the time to read their overly wordy crap.
Examples: Anything writ by the Late Bill Buckley, William Safire, Late Bob Novak and their type. Deborah Saunders is one of these too. As is Charles Krauthammer too. Each will spend a whole editorial column blaming Pelosi for causing torture. Mindless!
What to do?
First of all always try and avoid debating any of their points directly. This is because by repeating their bowel movement type statements you may inadvertently give their thoughts undeserved attention to the gallery watching. A far better approach is to mention in a general sense at how trivial or fictitious their whole philosophy is.
Instead point out that Conservatism is a constantly failing ideology. That there are no examples of a successful Conservative State or economic system inside a democracy.
If you must debate them do NOT quote their statements! Instead do a fact check first pointing out evidence pointing out the lies they have stated without actually repeating their lies.
Example: Instead of debating statements like "Obama spent so much tax payer money on a trip to NYC" say:
Where were you when we pointed out that Bush spent nearly THREE years of his eight year term on vacation?
Or: "Don't you think Bush should have spent a little tax payer money by leaving Texas on his vacation in order to get help for Katrina victims" etc.
Remember, you are not trying to convince the pea brained idiot who regurgitates the GOP talking points. He's hopeless usually. You want to reach the less opinionated person who otherwise might believe the dumbass Conservative.
Best,
The no longer homeless (for now anyway)
