Salon pwns Birthers; Freeper reaction: crickets.

Edited on Tue Aug-04-09 11:37 PM by dorkulon

Salon.com has posted a "handy-dandy guide to refuting the Birthers". It's quite good. You can tell it's good because the Freepers have barely mustered ten or so comments, all of them of the lame, hand-waving dismissal variety. This from the same folks who are generating thousand-post threads on the same subject.

It just shows again that these people aren't interested in the truth.

EDIT: Fixed links

4. If I thought any of this would help, I would use it. As is,

I just respond with something like, "Your Momma didn't give you very many brain cells did she? Bless your heart, poor little thang." It's a southern thing and it works better than it sounds like it does. I only use it when arguing with moron is just going to make two morons.

5. Agreed, most of these folks are beyond reason

but it could be useful to someone who's just wading in to this mess. My main point is that is these points were "easily refuted" as one Freeptard asserts, they would have relished doing so. Instead, they make a couple of uneasy grunts and shrink away.

8. Yeah, the Salon "letters" are of much higher intellectual quality than the Freepholes' ravings. nt
