I'm fucking nuts

[salinen]

- Humans cannot cause a change in climate. This is a plot by the environmentalists and scientists.
- Homosexuality is a choice. This is a part of the "gay agenda" to make us all gay.
- Government is our only problem. They're only function is to redistribute wealth.
- All Muslims are Radical. All billion of um.
- Mexicans are out breeding us. Whites need to have more babies.
- The Liberal Media. Paid for by Soros.
- The President is from Kenya. Or Pakistan, or some stan.
- Unions destroyed our industry. They don't deserve health care or pensions.
- Poor people are drug addicts. They only use food stamps to buy heroin.
- There is a war on christianity. They hate our morality.
- Taxes are too high on the rich. Raise taxes on the poor.


Sounds like all the republican candidates are with me.

1. It just seems so unreal to have it set out like this

but this is what they believe. And apparently all the right wing spew heads do as well. And very many elected pubs. And a certain small portion of the public. It just makes me sick, physically ill.

[Uncle Joe]

2. I can find no argument against your OP.

Kicked and recommended.

Thanks for the thread, salinen.

[True Earthling]

3. unrec for oversimplification, generalization and exaggeration... n/t

[cliffordu]

5. LOL. Welcome to DU!!

Enjoy your stay.

[Curmudgeoness]

7. Rec'd to cancel you out. Where is the exaggeration,

as well as the oversimplification or generalization. Speaking of oversimplification, you didn't give many details either.

[cliffordu]

9. Never have, never will.

The "think tank" revels in the lack of detail....

[Curmudgeoness]

12. Think tank?

:rofl:

[True Earthling]

10. Too easy...

"They only use food stamps to buy heroin."

[lifesbeautifulmagic]

11. excuse me?

That is indeed the attitude of most far right repubs that I know. And certainly the attitude of the R pres candidates.

[True Earthling]

13. No attitude... I respect truthful and accurate discourse...

It makes no sense to demonize repubs with half-truths and exaggerations. Dems condemn the repubs who use the same tactics. Why is it tolerated, defended and encouraged here?

[Curmudgeoness]

Listen more carefully and you will find there is no half-truth

or exaggeration in the OP. Sadly, this is about all they have been saying.

[True Earthling]

16. When you believe what you WANT to believe...

Truth doesn't matter.

[lifesbeautifulmagic]

18. good, you got it!

when the crazy ass R's believe the crazy ass stuff they believe, the truth doesn't matter, and you can re read the OP to see what it is they believe.

[True Earthling]

20. Repubs do not have a monopoly of believing what they WANT to believe

plenty of company here on DU.

[Mira]

28. I take it you were unavailable to watch and listen when the unenlightened ones postured

in their "debate"?

[lifesbeautifulmagic]

17. did you watch the R presidential debate?

their whole essence is half-truths and exaggerations.

[True Earthling]

19. Repubs have a way of distorting facts to promote their agenda...

but I don't believe they are ALL racist or they ALL believe climate change is a plot... Mitt Romney's stance is climate change is man-made. Romney just received an endorsement from Al Gore....

23. There might be a better site than DU to promote

Mitt.

some posts here are wonky, well-thought out and full of policy discussion. Some are not. You can choose which post you want to reply to. I don't think DU'ers have to change to suit what you think is appropriate for a discussion board.

The repubs that are actively involved in pres candidate selection tend to be of the crazy ass type. That is not in dispute and actively being discussed in R circles, as the fear a far right leaning candidate will not be able to sway independents.

[True Earthling]

24. You're right... nobody has to change...including me.

People can keep posting exaggerations and half-truths and I will continue to point them out. I mentioned MR to refute a half-truth in the OP, it was not a promotion.

[Warren DeMontague]

32. You're right. It's not the entire truth.

He left out the part about the GOP base being dead set determined to outlaw birth control.

[Curmudgeoness]

14. Ok, I give you that. The OP forgot about buying bling. nt

[Warren DeMontague]

31. Waaaaaaah!

LEAVE THE BATSHIT CRAZY REPUBLICAN PRIMARY CANDIDATES ALONE!!!!!

[cliffordu]

4. You forgot that when I knock you up, have my baby or die trying, b*tch.

(That phrase, ugly and shameless as it is reflects my perception of what they stand for. It in NO WAY reflects what I believe and it made me just a little sick to write it.)

[REP]

6. It sounds better in the original German: Kinder, Kuche, Kirche

But not much.

[cliffordu]

25. Yep - sad as it is.

What a disgusting truth.

[Journeyman]

8. Technically, #7 is correct. . .

The President's mother's given name was Stanley, so it can be said he is "from some Stan". . .

[hunter]

22. !

:rofl:

[yawnmaster]

15. I thought this was a sex thread until I read the op. eom

[Mister Ed]

29. Me too. I must admit some of the people I dated in my single days were a little bit nuts. n/t

[Glimmer of Hope]

21. Michele Bachman to a T.

[Mira]

26. Well nutshelled - thanks - recommended

[QuintanarooBoy]

27. Recced

:rofl:

[Warren DeMontague]

30. You left out the part about the Flat Earth being only 6,000 years old

but other than that, I think you got most of the bases.

[hifiguy]

33. How did you get a copy of the 'pukes' 2012 platform?

Oh, that's right, you just repeated nearly every one of the things they have been saying for the last three years.....:)
