Quick....someone post this on the Smallest Minority in a comment thread. The discussion on socialism and fascism contained in this short sounds awfully familiar:) This whole clip is exactly what its like to talk to these morons these days.

How many times have you been told that words have meanings, Mark, by the same people who clearly have no idea that they do? A million times? Fascism...socialism...they are the same thing...they are attacking our freedoms. Sound robotic.

Done.

Wow, I'm so impressed with you daniel and jeff c - you won't even discuss something here. I'm sure you won't stick around to discuss anything there.

Hey M - remember how you've always defended Moore for being essentially right, even when he was outright lying? Check this out - Sicko was banned in Cuba for dishonestly depicting the Cuban healthcare system!

I am sure it does. This 'brilliant' skit is how you hear things in your head even when presented with opposing rational arguments. Your disconnect with economic and fiscal reality is constantly on display.

Do you all need another lesson in what the Tea Party principle is? Fiscal Responsibility. That is the main premise that the movement is behind which happens to point to both parties as the cause.

You seem confused about the Tea Party and based on your response to this, don't seem to understand the movement. Yes, there are lots of issues being jammed in under that umbrella which vary from birthers, anarchists, and other pet issues from various factions but that is what you get when you have a mass movement.

I tell you what, you tell me how removing waste and pork from government and returning to fiscal responsibility is not a worthy goal. Since I pointed out that you can't tax yourself into solvency as it is a spending issue a few weeks back, how else do you plan to address this, wishing it away? Tell me how these redistribution schemes are helping create jobs in the private sector? We can all see how they are feeding the government beast...which doesn't create wealth.

If you aren't on board with fiscal responsibility, I submit that you are nothing more than a saboteur of the United States attempting to bankrupt the country by your irresponsible voting.

How about this for a somewhat educational message:

Here is the response to that.

Don't you see how the response pretty much validates the original?

About like a couple of 5 year olds in a sandbox.

Nuh-uh!
Well you're mom is uglier than my dog.
No, your dog is a turd...

I mean if you think either one was insightful, I can see why you assume everyone else is as childish as you are.

Mark Ward said...

I disagree. The one I put up here counters the argument with facts. The "response" is very 8 year old...surprise, surprise.

GuardDuck said...

Of course you do Mark, because you use the same arguments. You have the same bias for those arguments as Katie Couric does when she says she's a moderate.

exe said...

Hmmm...a Katie Couric comment...haven't heard one of those in awhile. Still all her fault that Sarah Palin doesn't have basic knowledge in key areas important to the presidency?

GuardDuck said...

Hmmm,

Who brought up Palin?

Would you prefer if I used Sam Donaldson, Diane Sawyer, Peter Jennings, Tom Brokaw, Dan Rather or Ann Curry?

Mark Ward said...

Katie Couric's only problem was that she (gasp!) ask questions that Sarah Palin couldn't answer because she didn't know them. So it's Couric's fault? This example is one of many where I wonder where the issue of personal responsibility has gone on the right.

Both cartoons do present many stark differences but the one that really sticks out with me is how in the "Hi, I'm a Tea Partier" one, people actually say those things. Those are quotes, folks. In the response, it's the 8 year old boy bully temper tantrum version of what Democrats say in make believe land.
