For a minute I thought I might have to resuscitate the poor, dumb, bastard.

[11 Bravo]

Yesterday I was sitting in the staff lounge listening to a wingnut co-worker rail about the "greed" of the Madison protesters. From there he went on to foment against the protester's "incivility" based on his witnessing a few cherry-picked signs on Fox. Up until that point I had merely been an observer, but then felt to compelled to step in and say, "I sat right here in this same room with you earlier in the year when teabaggers spat at and cursed Democratic members of Congress, and you didn't have one damned word to say about "incivility". Why the new-found concern?" He denied that such a thing ever happened, and fell back on the teabaggers mantra that "if it wasn't on tape, it didn't happen". I then politely inquired, "So, if it weren't for the Zapruder film, would JFK still be alive?"
I swear, he opened and closed his mouth a few times, made a few really scary sputtering noises; then stood, threw the remainder of his lunch in the trash, and stormed from the room. For a moment I really thought the silly little shit was going to go into vapor lock.
It probably didn't help matters that everyone else in the room started laughing at him. (I don't know where he ate lunch today, but it wasn't in the lounge.)

2. Very nicely done!

Calling stupid people on their stupid statements, and doing it with humor is a fine skill to have. Bravo, 11 Bravo!

[Brigid]

After the day I've had today, I really needed a good laugh. :rofl: :yourock:

5. lawdy, lawdy, lawdy, to be a fly on the wall.

I had this ancient car my gramps sold me. It ran, sputtering, for several years. I'd bet it sounded just like him, just before the engine caught on fire and totaled the poor thing.

8. What an extraordinary coincidence that the live feed

from Fox cut away mere seconds before the reporter got "hit".

So, tell the idiot that never happened either.

[gateley]

11. Yes! And all camera phones were pointed in other directions I suppose. nt

[EC]

15. Nope, the camera phones

were on him and showed he did not get hit. a person touched his arm while reaching for the corner of his sign (a big one they were trying to position behind the reporter) I think it was on Raw Story I saw it.

[gateley]

17. Well I didn't see it, so it didn't happen.

:evilgrin: :hi:

16. Laughter is the best weapon against these idiots

They can spit stupid statements all day long, but when the whole room starts laugh at them they learn really fast to shut up.

19. And, Abraham Lincoln ran for a 3rd term in 1868...really, it's true!

That whole John Wilkes Booth thing was just a fairy tale.

are in for worse moments than that. The Truth will out.

23. DArn! I never saw a vapor lock before, oh well,,,,

[Sonoman]

32. You would need to be familiar with old Harleys.

They built the air cleaner/carb set-up too close to the cylinders. When the carb gets hot enough, the fuel/air mixture will simply vaporize and shut sown the engine.

This never happens at an opportune time.

24. People like this don't realize the unique talent of Limbaugh and Beck.

When thay hear the propagandists on radio or Fox weave a half baked and fanciful opinion into fact, they nod their heads and think: "That makes perfect sense", not understanding that there's a lack of logical opposition in the studio. When they go out in public and try to relay the message in a forum of fact checkers, they find frustration that the sermon lacks credibilty.

The average RWNJ doesn't have the skill to go out and convincingly propagate what they hear on the radio to an unwilling ear. That's why those guys get paid the big bux.

25. So when the CIA threw out their tapes of torture in Gitmo, that means torture didn't happen?

And what about Nixon and his pesky watergate tapes?

31. Good work 11 B

The United States Air Force isn't in the Constitution either. It must be an unconstitutional arm of the military.
He must assume everything he sees on TV is real, like the Twilight Zone.

[Lasher]

33. Well you've got over a hundred recs so far.

But this deserves more so I just made it number 110.
