what is the most outrageous thing that you have ever heard a RWer say...

[liberalitch]

Other than "four more years"

[bahrbearian]

1. "Kerry will raise our taxes" this from an unemployed truck driver.

[Vickers]

2. "Bush was chosen by God."

My response:

"Oh really? He must not have cast his vote in Florida."

:spank:

[trumad]

3. The budget deficit is not important....

[AmerDem]

4. LOL

great reply!:toast:

[iconoclastic cat]

5. "Blacks and hispanics don't want an education. They're happier without it.

A teacher told me this. We were standing in a room full of Latino and African-American middle school kids. I think a few heard this comment.

Fortunately, this person has been the exception. The vast majority teachers are the most loving, selfless people I have ever met.

[fudge stripe cookays]

9. Holy shit!

This sounds like my aunt, who, try as I might I can't get to vote at all. Former teacher in the Rio Grande Valley who developed a real resentment of the Latino kids she had to teach.

She hates Democrats and Republicans equally, and still talks about the liberal media.

She's past unreachable. She's on her own non-caring planet.

[Moonbeam_Starlight]

19. Sweetie you probably don't WANT her to vote

if she's like that. Sounds like she'd go for shrub!!!

[xcmt]

6. From my father.

"Of course the New York Times is liberal trash. They printed a story about an explosion in Iraq on page 1! That &%$# isn't front page news anymore. They're the only ones covering this to death."

[iconoclastic cat]

7. Another one, same person as my first:

"You can't go wrong if you're conservative!"

:puke:

My response: Blink, blink. "So, how was your weekend?"

[H2O Man]

8. That Bush was elected president.....

which we all know is not true.

[SemiCharmedQuark]

10. "It's Clinton's Fault!"

Insert any question here see above for answer.

[Massacure]

11. Bush was elected by "God"

[leftchick]

12. "Bomb The SHIT Outa Them"!!

Repeatedly Screamed over and over from knuckledragging freeper holding a child and dragging his wife and toddler in front of our peaceful, peace rally downtown February 2003. To her credit, his wife looked horrified. Repuke family values :puke:

[indepat]

13. That W is a man of God and does God's work

[IADEMO2004]

14. Unions cause inflation

$9.00 hr. factory worker.

[Digit]

15. That * is the best president we have ever had

[baldguy]

16. My father gave me insight to conservative thinking 25yrs ago.

Ronald Reagan was running for President, and he was - and still is - an ardent supporter.

Me, being an ignorant 15 yr old kid, asked Dad "How can Reagan promise to cut taxes & eliminate the deficit, too?" (Carter left an outrageous $20 billion - oh, those were the days!)

He said "We eliminate waste, and unnecessary programs." Some of those 'unnecessary programs' were the Dept of ED, and Dept of Energy.

Me: "But, there's not that much waste in the system. And the largest portion they can change is in defense, and Reagan wants to increase it! How can he increase spending and balance to budget at the same time? It doesn't make sense!"

Dad, getting sort of testy: "Well, you can if you do it right!"

......

Well, we all know he didn't do it right. And Bush Sr didn't do it right. And Bush Jr hasn't done it right.

[Moonbeam_Starlight]

17. That the attack and invasion of Iraq was revenge for Sept. 11

and this was said by someone who KNEW they had nothing to do with it. She went on to say the deaths of Iraqis made her "feel better" about the 3000 who died on Sept. 11. When I mentioned that we've most likely killed far more than 3000 Iraqis, she said, "well you know that's war." Said by a woman holding $50 a bottle whiskey in a cut crystal glass while sitting on a $1000 sofa in her expensive clothes in a home filled with laughter and joy. Yeah, she'd know all about war, wouldn't she?

I said all that to her. She looked hurt. (Good.) I felt sick. I put down my drink. I left. Went home and cried. What heartlessness. What complete and abject lack of feeling it took to say that. The really horrible thing is she really meant it.

The other most outrageous thing I have ever heard is I heard a frothing at the mouth bush supporter say the invasion and attack of Iraq "was a simple ratcheting up of tensions."

Whatever you have to tell yourself to sleep at night for supporting it, I guess. But I thought that rather cold-blooded, as well. Again said by someone whose life has never been in danger for a moment.

[Braden]

18. "our jobs are going to India because of Nafta..."

"which Clinton signed" I explained that India is not a part of North America and shut him up quickly. But it shows how sheepish right wing "thought" is.

[Touchdown]

29. You can also tell them Clinton didn't sign it.

Pappy did, in December 1992, or Janurary 1993, right before he left office.

[SalmonChantedEvening]

20. Ann Coulter deals with facts!!

"And you libbies just can't handle it!!"

If anyone has a really strong constitution, a reading of her yahoo boards provides daily, if not hourly ammo to answer this question.

For the truly masochistic, may I suggest the rantings of cyclintom, bpsman20012002, harley_52, and ciarraiman_doppleganger as a starter set.

[juslikagrzly]

21. This is so disgusting

I can barely type it:

rw sil said to husband (her brother) and I that welfare for "blacks" will never work because they keep having babies. After all, everyone knows that "blacks", especially teenagers, have a higher sex drive than "we" do.

:puke:
:puke:

[Beam Me Up]

22. From my dad: "Hitler should have killed more of them."

My dad was an angry, depressed and oppressed working class man. Born in 1903, eighth grade education. Rural, not at all 'worldly.' This was in reference to a man the family knew, someone was telling a story about something he'd done. Dad said, "What do you expect? He's a Jew. Hitler should have killed more of them."

I was shocked, literally dumbfounded that my dad would say such a thing. I didn't know what to say that wouldn't erupt into yet another family argument (my dad and I barely spoke most of my life).

Mom interceded with this: "Now, dad, the Jews are God's chosen people; Hitler will burn in hell for what he did to God's people."

At least he couldn't say anything back to that and he knew it.

Edit typo

[OneTwentyoNine]

23. Elect Gore and watch internal combustion engines be outlawed...

In so many words from my neighbor back in 2000. He explained there was just no way he could vote for Al given ALL the statements he's made about the engine and pollution. He figured if Al was elected he'd be walking 15 miles to work and back each day....

David

[LoZoccolo]

24. "Why not?"

A justification for going into Iraq, and a response to everyone asking why we were going if the inspectors couldn't find the banned weapons.

[The Joe Show]

25. John Kerry shot himself on purpose...just nuts!

[Insomnicole]

26. "The media picks on Bush but gave Clinton a free ride."

Really. I hear that one from my Repub relatives all the time.

[MrSlayer]

27. "Kerry is a pussy, Bush is a real man."

I hear this a lot from Bushbots. Goes right along with "President Kerry will surrender to the terrorists" and "Kerry will turn the U.S. into France."

[Enraged_Ape]

34. "Kerry's going to turn the U.S. into France!"

What, 35-hour work weeks and four weeks of paid vacation every year? OH, GOD, NO!!

[Cat Atomic]

28. "We should just nuke all those ragheads".

The weird thing was that he'd just finished pontificating about the purity of our motives in the Iraq; how we're "bringing democracy" and "freeing oppressed people".

[Fatima]

48. I hear that one at work all the time

and when I lit into one supervisor for using the "raghead" term, she haruuumphed something about my needing to be more "respectful." Stupid b@tch. I told her respect is earned and any more bigoted slurs would be reported to upper management.

[Selwynn]

30. "I know Bush was chosen by God."

[DemonFighterLives]

31. All great talking points

Worthy of a hardy laugh. :D
Yesterday a repuke who was doing some concrete for me was blasting Kerry on all the Vet stuff. Then blamed 911 totally on Clenis since he did nothing after the embassy bombings and W* only had 9 months to get his sh*t together.
He followed all of this up with stating that JFK was the first to start dipping into social security.
I was sort of giving him a pass, but when asked the social dipping thing, I stated that they all have. Maybe someone could help me with this since I was only 4 when JFK was murdered.
I also said that the current oil men were in tight with the Bin Ladens and Saudi Arabia. Of course my facts went unnoticed.
Oh yeah, on Clenis he said that Bill was too interested in getting BJs that he had no time for national security. I told him that Clinton gave us 8 years of peace and properity.
I don't think I made any progress because his head was way too thick.

[spanone]

32. 'Kerry shot himself'

Yea, so did John F. Kennedy.

[Enraged_Ape]

33. From someone in the Natl Guard: "Bush has been really good to us."

Yeah, good at getting your asses shipped over to a desert shithole to fight for Halliburton profits.

[tjwash]

35. Clinton pushed NAFTA on US...

Yep, looks like old Bill to me here

[tjwash]

36. What does the debt REALLY mean to us?

nt

[Cleita]

37. Oh, I don't know. If you want to be outraged, read anything

Ronald Reagan said, starting with "welfare queens in Cadillacs".

[canuckybee]

38. Too many to think of

one recent one:

"The soccer team needs to get over it. There is nothing in the ad that isn't true. They can thank the American soldiers for their freedom."

[DS1]

39. Hillary pulled the trigger and dumped Foster's body

then had the secret service arrange it to look like a suicide

[laura888]

40. The American Indians deserved what they got

They were weaker and they stood in the way of "progress."

[elehhhhna]

41. 1: GW knows how to govern because he worked for Ron Reagan for many years

[elehhhhna]

43. 2;: on 9/11: "Thank God Armageddon has begun!" 2nd Baptist Church Houston

[Tierra_y_Libertad]

42. "Bring 'em on!" and "Mission Accomplished" from the head RW.

"I'm a compassionate conservative". Also, is tops for outrageous.

[skygazer]

44. "How can you say that Dick Cheney is a crook?"

from my daughter who has been blinded by the right.

[Gregorian]

45. We all gain by selective cutting in our national forests.

I'm still reeling. She actually said "this administration", when making her point that they would ease up and let us have the freedom to start logging. It will help everyone! Talking with a realtor yesterday, she actually said that. The key word is selective. There is no such thing as selective, in logging. You either bring the bulldozers in, or you leave the forest as a forest. Again, it's a simple post that I could turn into a chapter. But for brevities sake, I'll say that if she saw what I saw, she wouldn't say what she said. I mean, where the trees are majestic, it's very obviously a mistake. Where the forest is like a bunch of toothpicks, it's easy to think that logging is ok, even if it isn't. She just said that because either her family is in logging and she's been told it's ok, or something. I didn't know what to say, having never met her before. I just sat there, dumbfounded. I feel like it's hopeless. And I truely believe it IS hopeless.

[XanaDUer]

46. "Well, if Halliburton destroys (Iraq), they should get to be the

ones who make money off of rebuilding it."

Among other stupid, deranged things from this relative.

[Pushed To The Left]

47. Laura Ingraham

Her response to the Supreme Court ruling that overturned sodomy laws: "NAMBLA's happy!"

[TahitiNut]

49. "People are poor because they deserve to be poor."

This is a prevalent attitude in Eastern Washington (and elsewhere) and seems to be peculiarly associated with some secular 'western' LDSers. As one explained to me, God blesses those whose souls are 'good' by granting them success on earth. :eyes:

That kind of 'belief' permits all kinds of exploitation. I regard it as the most reprehensible of all, since it excuses racism, bigotry, and exploitation of those not lucky enough to be winners of the sperm lottery.

[ComerPerro]

50. "At least Bush respects the military. Clinton did not."

I hear this shit all the time, and it is just infuriating.

[Davis_X_Machina]

51. From a neighbor lady...

...who just knows the Muslims are gonna kill her babies -- probably by a terror bombing of the Maine Mall, or a dirty bomb at Bath Iron Works.

"If Gore had been president on 9/11, he would have surrendered to the terrorists. They'd have taken over, and would be running the country now, and it would be illegal to be a Christian and all the women would have to wear burkas."

She votes, too.

[LibraLabSoldier]

52. from a 19 year old in my Unit

She told me that "homeless people are happier that way, cuz they dont like working". She also told me that poor people are jealous of SUVs, because they dont know how to work hard enough pay for a new one.

[YoQuieroLiberty]

53. Easy:

"Reagan proved that deficits don't matter."

What an utter crock of uneducated horseshit. And what's worse, the quote just reeks of, "I don't need no fancy economic book learnin'!"

Reagan didn't prove jack shit.

[Nordic]

55. Reagan proved you can lie your ass off and get away with it

but that's about all he proved

[Nordic]

54. Bush's inaugural oath
