Most irritating freeper cliche: The Kumbaya fallacy
Edited on Fri Feb-18-05 05:44 PM by BurtWorm
Some freepers still think it's high larious to say liberals just want everyone to sit around holding hands and singing Kumbaya. The only people who ever sat around signing Kumbaya who I knew were music teachers in the public schools, and they were probably Republicans.

Runner up: The Democrat Party as Plantation for African Americans Cliche. The freepers who perpetrate this one are avid readers of Walter Williams and Thomas Sowell. They believe that having read Williams and Sowell, they can now speak on behalf of African-Americans. On this view, the Republican Party is seen as the Promised Land, and Rush Limbaugh as the Underground Railroad. :puke:

5. I'm familiar with the first cliche but I had never heard of the second one
Barf.

As for the first one, I'll show them some "Kumbaya." I am a non-violent person, and I'd like to stay that way, but that doesn't mean I wouldn't go off like a monkey on a cupcake if someone were threatening me and mine.

12. The 'plantation' cliche mystifies me...
...So, African-Americans are supposed to be grateful to Republicans for pointing out that they are apparently too stupid to realize the Dems are taking 'advantage' of them? What a way to win them over! :eyes:

17. They're working on a new cliche: The black men die too young to enjoy SS
cliche. Note how obsessed wingers are with black people. :eyes:

7. Well, when my Peace Corps group was on the bus
heading off to training, we did in fact sing Kumbaya. But we did it in a very post-modern, self-conscious, ironic sort of way. :evilgrin:

10. You're hilarious Crispini
I have a feeling if DU had a big get together, we'd sing it like this:

"KUM-BA-FUCKING-YA, MY MAYBE HIGHER POWER, KUM-BA-FUCKING-YA!!"

Don't you know it's required at gay marriages, too?
