15. Don't forget to ask him to footnote all the baseless claims,
Edited on Thu Apr-16-09 05:21 PM by Rabrrrrrr
and remind him that people speaking about extraordinary things better be able to footnote it - at the primary source! (that means nothing secondhand, like a link to Rush or Hannity or freerepublic) - or else they're the ignorant shitbags that everyone thinks they are.

Make him document every claim. Hammer him on this publicly until he does.

If anyone has said the ridiculously stupid things they are supposed to have said, there will be transcripts and other proof on the Internet.

I'm sure no one said them, so the proof won't be found.

But he needs to be publicly humiliated in front of all his friends for spreading bullshit.


I would also cut down your response - there's no reason to argue at this point. To argue gives him a sort of tacit foundation to stand on - make him prove the shit first.

Or, if you wish to argue, back up every argument with a link to a transcript or other FACT based document.
