I'm So Ashamed

For years now, I have been doing battle with local wingnuts on my local "neutral" forums. Their vocabulary is quite limited, consisting mainly of "libtards, obumba, obammy, dumbocraps", ad nauseum.
To be honest, it isn't at all fair, arguing with them is like talking to a sociopathic 10 year old. Still. the comments from my progressive friends when we all join together makes it worthwhile. The wingnuts vomit up Faux talking point and we dissect them with the razor of truth.

My confession - I actually enjoy watching them freak out after things like last nights debate. Last night and today they were absolutely apoplectic. And I loved every second of it. Should I be ashamed for not being more understanding, for reveling in their tears and agony?

I got sick of the constant drumbeat of stupidity and now shut them down ASAP so I can make a clean getaway.

Shameful joy in the misery of others.

You are not alone. It is a very modern condition. May we have many more opportunities in the next 2 weeks.

We are the sons of Satan! LMAO

the Triune God has spoken!

this is real, I did not make this up


my liberal friend replied...

"Uh, explain the whole I'm myself as well as my son thing again. Also, not that Mary was a virgin but that Joseph had a nightmare yet could muster nothing but "coo. I can go along with that".

Triune = Triagain. "

Well, hopefully, him and his buddies, will not commit voter fraud this time, because, guess what, the American people are fed up with his bullshit lies. Now go stick your head back up your dumbass." the reply -
Are you a child?

but "steve" isn't finished... "Hell no but all your fellow dumbocraps have the IQ of knats. Dumb as hell "


just one more "steve" gem...

"Whaaaaaaaaaaa waaaaaaaaaaaaaa...you poor worthiless turd you."

You can't make this up. This is the ongoing daily battle with the teabillies.

at copying these posts from the format used on my local forum. But, you pretty much get the idea. This is the mentality that would be running the country AGAIN if Romney didn't lose as badly as he is going to.

You can not debate them on facts or logic.

So skip that, mock them publicly. Research shows that only about 15-20% of those who read the comments actually post anything. So when you mock a nut job, the other 80-85% sees it.
