Caught out a rightie on his "your side does it, too" bullshit.
I was posting over on another board, and someone had mentioned he got a viral e-mail stating that NAMBLA is next to petition for equal rights after gays get the right to marry, and that it's an item on the "liberal agenda".

Of course, this led to an argument over slippery-slope assertions and the idiocy of equating being gay to pedophilia.


I chimed in by saying it was just another slander of the Left by the Right, and that no one sane supports NAMBLA.

Of course, a rightie replied to me, saying, "The Left does it, too. Meet the new boss, same as the old boss."

I shut him down with, "Really? The 'you guys do it, too' argument? Actually, we DON'T. Prove me wrong."

I posted that last night.

The jackwagon still hasn't replied, even though the thread is till on the front page at that BB.

that the North American Marlon Brando Look Alikes didn't have rights. :sarcasm: God DAMN IT! These people seem to get stupider and stupider by the day.

5. The talking points are tissue thin
Poke through them, and they're in tatters. Ask for specifics behind their assertions, and it's like Troll-B-Gone.
