I have truly arrived. How, you ask?

[Whisp]

74. MADem gave me a jolly good time this morning with this post:

(I saved it and want to make a painting of it in some way and frame it for my comp space)

I asked what FUD stood for:

It's the three electric supermarket scooter riders of the acopalypse....

FUD: Spreaders of Fear, Uncertainty and Doubt.

Fear.

Uncertainty.

DOUBT.


You know it when you see it. It often "comes from the impeccable-liberal-credentials FAR left" -- from someone whose mini-bio reads "Off-the-grid pioneer; grow all my own food, built my micro-tree-house by hand. Go to town in my llama-pulled wagon. Connect to the net via handmade wooden modem powered by my feet on a bicycle generator..." or someone with a major Paulbot or Nader slant, affecting a faux anarchist-y or "I won't respect anyone's authorit-teh" juvenile attitude (until Mom runs out of Hot Pockets, I guess).

They will often accuse others of not being sufficiently liberal, they'll throw around words like "corporatist" and "oligarchy" as if they understand their meaning, they're first out of the gate to criticize Obama no matter WHAT he does (Obama had a Father's Day breakfast at the White House....I can't help but notice he didn't invite any GRANDFATHERS to the thing...thanks a LOT, Obama!) and they're somewhat annoying. They aren't sharp enough to rise to the level of insufferable, usually, but the template is usually the same. Often, they'll have screen names that sound so comically Far Left that they sound like they were invented by a ghost writer for Limpballs. MIRT catches a lot of them, but they're like gum stuck to your shoe--hard to shift!
