Busy focusing on political and personal traits and characteristics.

Busy ignoring real issues.

Put that same energy into discussing solutions to some problems – or, in Elwood’s case maybe think about re-upping and helping out the boys and girls in uniform who will be glad to show you a little respect for anyone who has taken hostile fire.

Never look gorillas in the eye.

Never argue with crazy people.

Example? Re: #26 — a classic “when you can’t possibly succeed in discrediting the message, try to discredit the messenger” move.

Geez Louise, Hellwad — did you graduate from Debate 101 just now?

Or sadder still, did you think no one would notice that?

Note to fellow liberals: This is how you deal with these a-holes who just won’t stop trying to tear this country apart with their tactics of fomenting fear, hatred and mistrust — you call them to their face what they are — fascists.

You see from the above (#26 response) how, as far as their original arguments go, they STFU instantly on the merits rather than continue in light of that label and risk having it (the “f” word) REALLY stick to them as they have nothing but tactics to rely on.

P.S. Thanks, Hellwad — I didn’t know that caring for my country AND my democracy was “a problem”. I think I’ll seek out some professional help at my local polling place today…

You should seek some, ASAP.

As for Hellwad, well, never let the facts get in the way of a good lie, but I’ll try:

1) Ronald Reagan was “slightly to the right of Karl Marx.”

2) Ronald Reagan was not in my mind, nor anyone’s mind, a new American fascist like “Arr, Arr”, “Hellwad”, Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, Bill O’Reilly, Glenn Beck, Sarah Palin, or Michelle Bachmann, just to name a few new American fascists.

Note, dear readers, how much (as I predicted) they fight to evade the tag without outright denying it — because then they would have to deny what fascism is and how their tactics line up so well with same — such as “don’t call me a rapist as I screw you again and again without permission — the truth is ‘you wanted it’ or ‘you deserved it’…my behavior is NOT to be questioned!”

Hellwad (fascist) wishes he (fascist) had an (fascist) orgasm every (fascist) time I use that (fascist) word — not like he’s gotten any lately (it shows, believe me!) and I’ll bet he even wishes he had an orgasm everytime I do…

Note to fellow liberals: The next time you are arguing with one of these troglodytes about social policy and they shout “you’re just a f’ing liberal!”, shout back at them “you’re just a f’ing fascist!” — and then follow that shout with “and don’t hide behind that crap that you’re merely a conservative — real conservatives (feel free to name some as I have) don’t divide their country with hatred, fear and mistrust the way you and your ilk do!”

Tag them with the “f” word big-time — as you see from “Arr, Arr” and “Hellwad”‘s latest comments, they are scared crapless that they will indeed get tagged that way — and they know from their tactics that THEY CAN’T ESCAPE THAT TAG.

I think he has an orgasm every time he uses it.

I haven’t seen the word “fascist” so many times in print since the “Daily Worker” was in its heyday.
