140. There it is again, that old Bush Supporter talking point about Liberals. I had so much

fun with Bush supporters once I gave up trying to reason with them about them Human Rights, Government Corruption (they thought Bush would always be 'king', no foresight at all) illegal wars, torture etc and simply played with them to expose their ignorance. You can't cure stupidity with reason which was a valuable lesson they taught me.

But they had favorite 'responses' consisting of repeated words and phrases for Liberals to cover their inability to defend their support for all the horrors Bush inflicted on this country. Rush Limbaugh was their 'teacher'. He provided the stupid phrases and words and it is not surprise that those idiots picked them up believing they were 'brilliant'.

Eg, if a Democrat like, Clinton (who they were still obsessed years into the Bush years) was under attack by Right Wing lunatics, and we and other democrats defended him, their most BRILLIANT 'comeback' was 'You're so IN LOVE with Clinton' and variations of it. Rush would explain 'democrats' to them this way. 'They have no minds, they are IN LOVE with Clinton' and the morons thought they were listening to GOD.

Rush got his anti-Liberal talking points from Karl Rove who was their mastermind, stupid yes, but they knew their 'followers' couldn't hold their own in a real discussion so they taught them to avoid discussion by flinging 'poo' in response to reasoned arguments and never addressing the substance. They included: 'schoolgirl crush' 'fan girl' 'so in love, etc.

The other one I saw on DU this week brought me back to those Bush supporters also.

'Liberals are so anti-American they WANT us to be attacked by Terrorists'.

Coming from Bush chickenhawks, I never expected anything better.

But can someone explain when Rush Limbaugh/Karl Rove feeble attempts to undermine the dreaded 'left', made their way to DU? I would have at least expected, if we are to resort to similar tactics, that we surely would have a higher standard than those morons. Worse, to RE-USE what was stupid to begin with!

This TROPE (another one of their words which, considering the sources, I always took as a great compliment (Bush supporters could never read more than single lines! ) is just a short history for those who mught not have been there at the time.

Note the 'undying love for Snowden' as exhibit #1 eg. Perfect example of what I am talking about, almost word for word.

Having written this 'TROPE' to provide a short history of the origin of these feeble tactics, it will be clear why I am so certain that the commenter could not refute a word I said.

I tried to make this LONGER just for you, but decided to save it, the history of right wing anti-left propaganda online over the past 12 years, for another time.

Snowden is a hero!

'Fan girl, in love with, school girl crush, jr high cheerleader'..

If you need any more let me know!
