nothing. They can not argue an issue without resorting to namecalling and ridicule. The ROFL emoticon sums up their complete argument. If someone says that Michael Hastings accident looks suspicious, they react in harmony with, "It's not Obama's fault. It's not Obama's fault. He was a known drug user and heavy drinker that liked to drive fast into trees. Besides his girlfriend was a pole dancer." That's it. And if you suggest that the accident looked unusual, they claim you are bashing the president.

They cant discuss issues.
