http://twitter.com/jack_welchSorry I don't know how to capture just his poorly spelled tweet, maybe someone can grab it for us and post it here. They had it on the bottom of the screen after the speech last night on MSNBC repeatedly, I guess his girlfriend/mistress/wife/writer had the night off... His hate of the President shows, he was trying to comment energy policy...
Hey Jack(off) you spell it: ARITHMETIC NOT ARITHMATIC!!!!
Please someone post the Tweet here, its funny
PA Democrat
(13,225 posts)he was talking to scum like former GE CEO Jack Welch.
There was lots of uproar about GEs tax bill, OBrien observed. The company, GE, reported worldwide profits of $14.2 billion and said $5.1 billion of the total came from its operations in the US. Its American tax bill, none. GE claimed a tax benefit of $3.2 billion. So I think its hard for people who are not, you know, tax attorneys to understand how a major company can make $5.1 billion here in the United States, and then get a really large tax benefit at the end of the day. Can you explain that?
Well, probably not well enough, Welch quipped.

(81,127 posts)I get some of those nauseating emails from the old gent my mom used to date in the last couple of years before she died. They met in church.
I'm SICK of those emails by now. They're just as knuckle-dragger as can be!!!!
I've started saving some of the GREAT rants and material from the GREAT links posted here - and sending them back to him in a "Reply All." They're usually layered - MANY forwards. So I go back into those and pick up all THOSE email addresses and add them to the "Send" list. Maybe THAT way I'll finally get them to stop.
One time when I did that I got a response back from one of the people on the email list. She thanked me, saying she didn't like getting these emails either but didn't want to say anything and start an argument, but she was glad there was somebody else sending a corrective response because she didn't feel so alone anymore!
I've gotten a couple from the last round, too. Didn't feel like opening them at the time so I don't know what was in them. Fuck 'em. Don't care. I'm gonna answer EVERY ONE of those bullshit emails from now on.
I've started that with another knuckledragger emailer. I'm actually friends with his wife. She's pretty mellow - a former neighbor. He's a teabagger with bells on. He won't even come up with her when she walks over to our house every time she's back in town. He stays away. He finds me repulsive! I find that utterly delightful - I'm actually proud of it ('cause it means I must be doing something good)!!! Anyway - they share the same email address. So anything he sends around, I get it. I've started sending responses. He hates me anyway, I don't care what he thinks at this point 'cause it can't get any worse than it is already. But at least I can bolster HER if she gets into any political arguments with him.
DESTABILIZE THE ENEMY. The first, best way, is to just do it. They won't be expecting it. They still think Dems just roll over and play dead. So they have no template to fight back with a live one. That's why you see so many of them in FAIL mode when they're checked on their talking points. All they have is the talking points. They don't have any understanding of what's BEHIND the talking points, or what's the next sentence after each talking point, and they sure haven't been offered an alternative so they might be able to make a better choice.
DESTABILIZE THE ENEMY.

(175 posts)My dad is beyond talking to, so I just forward all the emails right onto www.myrightwingdad.net.
You should check it out...there are some real gems, and it's updated daily. Past few days haven't been great, so take a few minutes and poke around. I'm sure you'll see some you recognize.

(7,429 posts)You know these people make me sick. I met the 2 of them at an Autism event. They talked about how the goivernment should be there for all of the Autistic kids. The only reason he cares is because of his own grandson. His daughter refuses to talk to him and his wife. I wonder why . . .
