Who Wants to Make two Republicans Feel Like Idiots?
Here is what you have to do. Go here

<http://interactive.zogby.com/fuse/messageview.cfm?catid=22&threadid=4454>

and argue that Saddam didn't have ties to terrorism that would justify us going to war. They have a lot of info you can use against them and they provide no evidence to prove their points, mostly just "democracy is spreading", "freedom is on the march" all of that bush shit. Should be real easy. I would do it myself but just don't have the fighting spirit today. So who wants it?

1. You're making a rather large assumption.
You're assuming that facts will change their minds.

4. It probably won't change their minds but
it is always good to make them stomp off in anger because they are idiots and they know it. They are stubborn but you never get a greater sense of satisfaction when you make them seem simple minded.

7. Waste of time.
If they're stubborn enough to still believe that Saddam had links to terrorism and 9/11, they're obviously ignorant enough to blow off any arguments to the contrary.

In my experience, proof that they're wrong only makes them even more adamant that they're right.

5. Exactly. Nazis don't feel remorse, don't care about "Liberal" facts
And the Busheviks/Freepers are their spiritual second cousins.

(except the Nazis would have dismissed any NON-PARTY-APPROVED facts as "Jewish Propaganda" while your Bushewviks would dismiss them as "Liberal Propaganda")

I now fully understand how Nazi Germany happened because I now have a VERY close-up look at how the process works.

8. And I'm so old
I remember being taunted that certain things would clearly not be recognized by me because the facts weren't "Moscow approved." Things like the nobility of the American cause in Southeast Asia.

Curious how so many "facts" approved by the mighty Republican Wurlitzer are believed only the by the independent-minded, free-thinking apparatchiks of the party.

9. Yes, Totalitarian Scum do use Projection. It is their biggest tool.
They LOVE to accuse others of what they do themselves. I can't even begin to explain it, except to say it is a human characteristic that goes beyond Totalitarians, although Busheviks, Bolsheviks, and others who share their authoritarian dogmas seem to raise that caharcteristic to, for want fo a better word, Industrial Strength.

Think of a Nazi (the originals, not our Kinder and Gentler ones) kicking a Jew to death in the Courtyard of Auschwitz, and shrieking att the top of his lungs that he wasn't going to take "Jewish oppression of the German People" anymore.

THAT, in essence, is the mind of a hardcore Bushevik, who will consider themselves "oppressed" and "persecuted" by the people they are murdering.

3. How Hard Can That Be?
That's like betting a ball thrown from my roof will fall to the ground. It's automatic.
