Is Boorz channeling DU? "Why people think Conservatives are Idiots"
Sorry .. it's true. Liberals love to paint conservatives as being ignorant, stupid, obtuse, mindless, irrational and, on occasion, retarded. For the most part leftists use this "stupid" tactic in order to avoid actually having to intellectually engage with someone who thinks differently than they. After all ... you really don't have to consider the opinions offered by someone who disagrees with you if you can successfully and falsely brand them as ignorant.

Sadly ... many conservatives seem to have dedicated their lives to lending credence to the left's "conservatives are idiots" claim. You will remember several weeks ago I told you about one Georgia Republican (former Democrat) legislator whose campaign chairman sent out some memos and letters promoting legislation to outlaw the teaching of evolution in government schools. The letter referred the reader to the website of "The Fair Education Foundation, Inc." In this website --- and I'm not kidding you here --- you will learn that the Earth stands still in space ... not even rotating ... while the Sun and everything in the universe rotates around the earth every 24 hours. Think I'm kidding? Check it our for yourself. http://boortz.com/nuze/200703/03262007.html#conservatives

1. Silly boorz, conservatives are proud of their ignorance
Its one of their greatest values. They think it is so much more important to believe stuff rather then to know stuff. And its also a lot easier. I don't paint conservatives as ignorant, their's is a self portrait.

3. I don't go to conservative sites because I don't want them thinking they're
more popular than they are by giving them more hits!

Surely this is not the Neal Boortz the Limpballs wannabe? I detest that man and hiscrazy ideas, but he's far from THAT STUPID!

4. Boortz sounds like an 85 year old with Alzheimers.
Ever hear him babble on and on?

He's absolutely pathetic.

5. The proverbial shoe fits that's why.
Sure not all conservatives are stupid. Not all conservatives are conservatives either. When the GOP opened up it's big tent and welcomed in the religious fundies, the NRA and disaffected white red necks from across America who did they think they were getting? They knew who they were getting and now they are the base of the GOP. You are who you are Neil.

6. Hey, BOORTZ!!
In case you hadn't noticed, your whole notion of conservatism and your whole party has been hijacked by these fools for Jebus. The conservative movement, which used to be defined by fiscal responsibility (except when it came to the Pentagon), smaller government, and lower taxes has now become a conservatism defined by religious lunacy.

You can call yourself whatever you want to, but you vote GOP and despise Democrats.

It's high bloody time you realized just who and what you've been voting for since 1980.

7. Boortz Has Known About His Beloved Conservatives For Years
But he's eaten up all his air-time condemning "libs" and pretending to be a Libertarian.

Now that his listening audience is preparing an Olympic vomit-fest, he's changing his tactics. Scum.

Just like Mr. Weiner-Savage. Painted himself into a corner with his anti-liberal rhetoric, and now made to rationalize his affection for the corrupt and incompetent Republicans.

Sweet.

8. Fact for you


Boortz hates Fundies more than we do, and is pro-choice.


Why he was an IDIOT and supported the Bush cabal, I will never understand.....

12. Correction: Boortz Hates Fundies When It's Convenient To Hate Them
Given the choice, he will give his anti-liberal rant precedence over his anti-fundy rant 10 out of 10 times.

He's playing to his audience.

10. Paint is the wrong verb.
Liberals love to paint conservatives as being ignorant, stupid, obtuse, mindless, irrational and, on occasion, retarded.

IF I say that the sky is blue or an apple red, that i snot me "painting", it's me making an observation.

11. Maybe it's because the Busheviks treat their followers like idiot children
Such that only the weak-minded, gullible, mean, and stupid remain (as the sheep, not the shepherds, who are evil and all the way on the other side of stupid).

As Poppy Bushler once said, "You can fool some of the people all of the time, and those are the ones we should be concentrating on."

Boortz has spent his life telling lies, half-truths, misinformation, and disinformation to the gullible, weak-minded, mean, and stupid. Now he wonders why that crowd has self-selected and why do people notice?

Maybe, Boortz-you-douchebag, if you Bushevik Shepherds had treated your "target audience" less like empty vessels to be filled up with your wisdom that they would regurgitate on cue, more like people worthy of respect rather than Strauss' Inferiors to be programmed into unshakable followers, maybe you douchebag you wouldn;t have this problem.

Of course, if you, Boortz, and the rest of you weren't the authoritarian-loving, freedom-hating, Nazi-Lites that you ARE, then you would not have pursued damned near the only path in which your "base" would be the weak-minded, gullible, mean, and stupid (the Nazi-Lite path).

Cry me a river, Boortz, you gutless turd.

13. Maybe it's because all Bush supporters have the exact same thought process?
I swear, every Bush supporter I've ever met has the exact same thought process - it doesn't matter what their source is - whether it's WSJ, Limbaugh, Fox News, or Bill Kristol. They all spout the exact same fucking RNC talking points 1,000 times over like it's their own personal opinion. Maybe when they actually get their own opinions, then we can have an intelligent debate.
