Her Ignorance Is As Good As My Knowledge



The most horrifying part of this video is when she talks about brainwashing. Heaven help us...

This would be why I am no longer an active member of the Republican party. This woman is nuts and that's how most of the people are now in my home state. They all think Obama was born in Kenya and is a socialist heathen bent on destroying this country. By sounding this crazy, it distracts from the real issue of curtailing spending and reforming the tax code. Democrats aren't socialists but they are Democrats and that's bad enough.

These are not voices in Mark's head. They're real and their lunacy is working in the favor of the Dems.

Of course every single one on the left is nothing but reasonable, right? All crazy people are only on the right.

Mark Ward said...

Well, you are nothing if not predictable, juris. Rather than admit that this is mainstream thought on the right and that this is a much larger problem, you attack the left. And, oddly, in the same way this woman does-yelling about communism which is NOT mainstream thought on the left. I'm shocked...not.

As I have said many times...when Dennis Kucinich and Buck Johnson are running the Democratic Party, I'll be the first to admit that they are seriously FUBAR.

Awwww, poor widdle Marxy doesn't like his own tactics used against him. Boo-fucking-hoo.

Sure it is. You know why? Because I said so. If it's good enough for you Mark, it's good enough for me. In other words, I'll see your assertion with an assertion of my own. Then we can laugh about how you think you are an authority on such things.

Mark Ward said...

Being an authority has nothing to do with it. All I have to do is turn on Fox News and hear pretty much everything she says, right? Except maybe the bit about Obama being gay. I saw that in one of those "newspapers" in the grocery store checkout aisle and that's not really mainstream although you guys are certainly heading in that direction.

What amuses me about your attitude is you say things like you do above and then you turn around and say you want a more conservative candidate. Well, which is it? Because this is what the more conservative candidates are saying and I'm simply repeating what comes out of their mouths and wondering WTF?

At the core of all of this is admitting fault...something that is a titanic anathema to your side. It simply doesn't compute in your brain that you are wrong about many of the things you espouse. Why? Because liberals are the ones that are wrong, damnit!!!!

Brainwashing, you say? Isn't that what you're pretty much claiming in the previous post as to why many or most blue-collar working types don't buy into your liberal fantasies? False consciousness and all that.

Larry said...

All I have to do is turn on MSNBC and see the most ridiculous tripe being peddled about conservatives, libertarians, and/or Republicans. Such as the idea that the GOP is a home for racists, and even that Herman Cain's popularity stems from it being a way to disguise their racism (WTF? WTFF?), or that it's because Cain is a "black man who knows his place" (say what?).

And you want moronic mainstream beliefs, try this one for size:
More than half of Democrats believed Bush knew

At the core of all of this is admitting fault...something that is a titanic anathema to your side.

Bullshit.

It simply doesn't compute in your brain that you are wrong about many of the things you espouse. Why? Because conservatives are the ones that are wrong, damnit!!!!

You've got a lot of chutzpah to say that, Mark. I can honestly say you're one of the least self-aware people I've ever interacted with. You're so busy patting yourself on the back for how wonderfully self-aware you are that you don't even notice how you're constantly stepping on your own dick.

I don't watch any tv, but I'd be willing to bet that Fox doesn't have news items about college professors brainwashing people in the media. That's pretty funny that you'd try to say that lady represents your political opponent though. Transparent of you, but still funny.

>you turn around and say you want a more conservative candidate.

I do? Honestly, I don't think a more conservative candidate is going to do much of anything to reduce statism in this country, though I'd like to be wrong. Your ideology of government dependency has seeped deep into the public, I'm afraid. At this point, I'd vote for a goat or a lizard if I thought it would upset the status quo in DC.

Anyway, I think I'll need to spell out the point I was trying to make - you're making an assertion. I made an assertion. Yours is no better than mine, absent some extraordinary evidence. (I say extraordinary because quantifying what is "mainstream", what parts of it are crazy, and what parts of the "mainstream" show up on Fox News seems pretty subjective. And seriously - you not claiming to be some kind of neutral observer, are you? That wouldn't pass the laugh test.)

Anyway, the point is that you made a Mark Says So assertion. If you ever want to convince people of your beliefs, you're going to need to figure out where your Mark Says So's are and get rid of them, because nothing on your authority or expertise is believable. I can understand why you don't like your views under a microscope though - that's how Mark Says So's come to unpleasant light.
