OMG. This was priceless.

This appeared in my FB newsfeed courtesy of a Teabagger acquaintance and I commented on it. I guess I won that argument.

Me: Glenn Beck is a hate monger, I repeat. And he's not a genius because he says one thing that has been observable throughout history. He'd be a genius if he could come up with ideas to heal rifts and promote dialogue, but that's not what he's about. He's about sowing seeds of division and hatred.

The first rule of internet debate is you never win a political argument. No one ever says "he sure shut me up".

It's far more effective to minimize a poster's inane point by laughing in their face and pressing home the fact that that no one is taking them seriously. I say reply with this and a big fat LOL in caps lock:



You can use this to make your own for every day of the week. Then you can declare victory:

contagious for a long time now, without reaching the next step.

It's like saying:

_Not Brushing your Teeth
_Cavities
_Snakes grow in your Brain

The fact that my chain of cause and effect has held up as far as step two doesn't mean much.

They cut several movie channels, AMC, MATV, and several others. Now they are paying to put Beck into their lineup. I called to cancel my subscription but they offerd the Showtome package free for three months. So I'll wait for three months and then cancel.

Love her response, by the way. Obviously she has you struggling in the crushing grip of her reasoning ability!
