It has become blatantly obvious to me lately that the "loudest 20%" is blasting the media with repeated talking points. The rise of the Birthers, the Teabaggers, the fight against health care reform, the Conservative media in general- all marching to the beat of the same drum: "NO to socialism," or "No to the Marxist." They repeat these scary words like "fascism" and "nazism" and "communism" and try to tag it to the left. But something else about these people has also become blatantly obvious to me. They're morons.
So as I sit and listen to my favorite talk radio, or watch my favorite political pundits, I notice one thing and can't help but wonder: just HOW stupid are these people who call the shows or go in front of the camera who continually repeat these talking points? Well, let's find out.
The next time anyone says any of the trigger words above, interrupt them and ask them to define what socialism is. Ask what their definition of marxism is. Or what fascism is defined as, even in their own words.
I have a hard time believing that any of those trailer park trash teabaggers understands what communism means. or what socialism really is. or what marxism is, let alone who it is even named after. Yet they carry around the signs in DC. They call the talk shows. They cite these words.
My guess is they will begin to stutter. Their minds will race. They have no clothes.
