I really love listening to the Repug Call line on C-SPAN these people
love to call for wiping entire peoples out because they disagree with them or generously attempting to give up our rights because they agree with the President on every issue. And before almost everyone them finishes their thoughts, they seem to have an obligation to attack the democrat or liberal callers as unpatriotic or un american or supporters of terrorist. Never explaining of course why the liberal may have been wrong or even why they disagree with them. Its like they all have the same script implanted in their brain or maybe they all received the same talking points newsletter every week.

1. Yup. They're predictable.
My favorite Repug response to trouble in a foreign country is "Drop a nuke on them". Deep thinkers, one and all.:)

5. You just described my brother.......
"Fuck 'em all, nuke 'em and take their god damned oil". :eyes: It's extremely difficult to believe my brother and I shared the same parents.

Well, they do, in essence. They MUST. Because there is NO LOGIC whatsoever to these ludicrous claims, so they MUST stick to a very tight narrative, or set of narratives. It's also very important that the moderators never challenge those ludicrous claims (which they should, of course).

That's the ONLY reason repuke claims make it into the meme set, because they're not nipped in the bud where they should be: by the moderator of the debate. Claiming that progressives are un-american, and further, support terrorists is an obviously inflammatory, rhetorical and bogus claim, and more importantly: unprovable and illogical.

This is why I blame the MSM, because they've enabled the memes that are now considered 'common knowledge' among a few lower-brained mammals. And they've done so on purpose, IMO, which makes them just as culpable as the WH for the 'catastrophic success' that is now leading us down the road to Armageddon.

3. Your point is the specific reason why Ann Coulter has a soap box
If Al Sharpton came on any show talking the way she does, Republican leaders would be calling the tv stations and having hearings about it. Letters would come from their Fundie supports into the station and Al would be gone because the MSM would cave. Of course if Al came on supporting Coulter he would be left alone.

4. The RNC e mails the weekly talking points out
As does the Eagle Forum, Focus on the Family, and all they myriad other republicon groups. They are nothing if not effective communicators.

6. It's robertson syndrome.. Also known as the lemming d'ease.
Robertson, Falwell, and the others seem to have hit on a way to get these people to lock-step the Robertson-Falwell-type talking points.
