It amazes me that Freepers can't put two coherent sentences together

[DainBramaged]

or, even one that makes a lick of sense. Time and again throughout the political landscape and even here when they attempt to spar with us, it's as if my dog was speaking.

And America let these clowns run the Country for 30 years?

[WingDinger]

1. They are proudly anti-intellectual, and functionally illiterate.

[mzteris]

3. that's why they liked "dubya" -

he made 'em feel "smart".

[davidinalameda]

2. I guess you don't look too closely at some of the posts on here

[DainBramaged]

6. I do, and they are very easy to spot, even the long-timers here

It's not the posts HERE that reveal their intentions.

[davidinalameda]

11. where else would they post

are you suggesting that some posters, even long-timers, are trolls?

[Drale]

4. It really doesn't matter because

all I hear when they talk is "RABBLE RABBLE RABBLE!!!"

[Jackpine Radical]

5. I have it on good authority

that half the country is below average.

No doubt they are overrepresented in that group.

[RC]

7. And those of us in the other half are underrepresented.

:hi:

[Jackpine Radical]

22. I beg to differ.

If any of us at all are in that group, we are overrepresented.

[bluestate10]

8. Poorly educated, gullible people normally have problems with writing and spelling. nt

[Populist_Prole]

12. Dunning Kreuger effect

So true, the ignorant, not only do they not realize how ignorant they are, actually believe they are getting in the all time zinger in.

I get a kick how, on forums and such, where they try to pass of their inability to spell or write as "typos".

[DainBramaged]

23. I've run into them with college degrees, and read their questionnaires when applying for a job

and spelling isn't a strong point. Then when you would talk to them you KNOW instantly what their political feelings are. Just throw the word Reagan into any conversation.


I had a picture of President Clinton im my office for years, and people you thought were smart would come in and spew vile shit incoherently while trying to explain why they were smarter than all of us. It was like a black comedy.

These are the people who want to close the schools and shut off public assistance.

[Blue-Jay]

9. I've come to expect that.

I'm more amazed when one actually can formulate a cogent thought.

[Davis_X_Machina]

10. Read that first as 'two concurrent sentences'... n/t

[RandomKoolzip]

13. It gives me only marginally more hope that DUers are only mariginally better

at spelling and grammar and language use than their conservative counterparts. If you want to talk "incoherence," there's quite a few people on this site who are paragons of the form.

[Kingofalldems]

14. They have a new big word: Caliphate

[Cleita]

15. Or if they are coherent that isn't a pack of lies and

disingenuous half truths.

[justiceischeap]

16. Rachel Maddow actually did a segment on this last night

Fox News misinformation hurts American discourse

Chris Hayes, Washington editor for The Nation, talks with Rachel Maddow about the damage done to American political and foreign policy discourse by the spread of misinformation and outlandish conspiracy theories by Fox News.

[11 Bravo]

17. Still? Hell, at this juncture I'm astounded when they ARE able to do so.

[DainBramaged]

20. There are a few who are smart pulling the strings of the rest

Those are who w need to be wary of, and we are mostly.

[guitar man]

18. Shame on you! You should apologize

.... to your dog :P

[EC]

19. They just have no cognitive ability.

Look at O'Rielly spewing out all his "proofs" of God's existence and just doesn't understand the reasons for them. Like tides - he just isn't able to put magnetic pull together with the moon and the tides. They can't reason beyond step one.

[Possumpoint]

21. By The Way

Tides are not caused by magnetic pull, rather by the mass of the Moon and its proximity to Earth.

When you start to give someone a piece of your mind, be sure that you can spare it.
