Fail Quotes

Its not like Obama chose to extend the Patriot Act or sign the NDAA.

Oh. Wait. That's exactly what happened!

How dare you point out facts about Obama that are uncomfortable?! That must mean you're racist!

I'd rather be labeled as a racist than be a moron.

Fail from a facebook FOF (butthurt Obamaton trying to make abortion a presidential issue when neither candidate even has the power to do anything about it). First, the setup, me in blue, her in red:

I reject [Gary Johnson] for other reasons that are quite sufficient for me and that have nothing to do with the 2-party structure. If Gary Johnson were the only candidate, I wouldn't vote for him due to his background and certain positions he continues to espouse. I could as easily dismiss your support for this person of dubious background as bullshit, since I equally have nothing upon which to rely but the fact that you disagree with me; but I'd rather extend respect to others no matter how illogical or irrationall I consider their positions. Doing otherwise only entrenches us further in the "yay my team, boo the other guy" mentality that threatens to tear apart our representative democracy.

Okay, enlighten us: what is Johnson's "dubious background"?

So, here she comes back with her amazing evidence against Gary Johnson:

You can screech, beat your chest and posture, but my vote is my own and it's up to me to decide what matters to me. As to your continued attempts to make Mr Johnson relevant to a discussion about the mainstream candidates' position on reproductive rights, I'm respectfully opting out. How I vote and how I make that decision isn't your purview. By attacking arguments I haven't made (judicial appointment "crap" or "bullshit newsage relative truth crap" (whatever that is supposed to mean)) you just clarify for us all that you are here trolling for Mr. Johnson, whose detriments are available to anyone with internet access. I won't reiterate them here because I won't further support your attempting to suborn a logical discussion among adults with your unreasoning advocacy for a flawed no-hope candidate. Based upon your responses to date, you'll respond ad hominem without acknowledging or responding to my points and that's fine. I don't care what further irrelevant venom you spew and I'm not going to delve into a detailed breakdown of "candidate" Johnson.

And, of course, after she said she was opting out of the discussion, she immediately makes another comment:

Might I suggest that you pick a more authoritative word than "crap" to deride others' opinions. As a go-to insult, it lacks gravitas and makes you sound like a petulant 8th grader. (OK, a slow 8th grader).

And that, apparently, is the biggest argument against Gary Johnson.

BTW, the "bullshit newage relative truth crap" was because of this exchange:

You called reproductive issues a distraction from the real issues.

As far as the Presidential election is concerned, they ARE. Neither Obama nor Romney is going to change the status quo on that, even in the tiny amount where they would actually be able to.

"...they ARE." For you. Not for me.

Of course, it comes as no surprise that Obamatons live in a different reality from the rest of us...

best part? She didn't actually answer Shane's question.

best part? She didn't actually answer Shane's question.

I respectfully disagree; for me, the best part is when she says her answer is "available to anyone with internet access." Because why bother taking a moment to show your evidence or think over your position when you can get the person who clearly disagrees with you to do it themselves. That'll win you the debate.

"NDAA was ruled that way but until the Supreme Court takes up the case the Obama Admin is just ignoring it. Have to point out that Federal Judges both said Obamacare was and was not Constitutional and was only made Constitutional by the Supreme Court within the last year. FYI just because something is not in the Constitution does not make it unconstitutional. IE the war on Drugs, Druggies hate it but it is not unconstitutional, being on the side of drug dealers must be fun"

The stupidity of this statement makes my ears bleed.

Secret Kill List: I don't know what you're talking about.

Lady, have YOU read the news lately?!? That kinda stupidity must take effort.

Comment made by one DOHC2L. Another user asked how people could be foolish enough to vote to increase their own taxes, and this exchange happened:

Well, I like to say they're misinformed or ignorant, not outright stupid. Basically it boils down to so much legal mumbo-jumbo that most voters can't figure it out (and, once told, the two-party system makes it hard for them to accept it), so they just listen to what ads and pundits tell them it means. All the more reason to vote 3rd party, IMO.

It's too bad you're smart enough to understand the controversy but lack clarity to see one side is right while the other side is wrong. Instead of being on the side of right or wrong you chose to not pick a side and now you're a fool who thinks the struggle between right and wrong is somehow a conspiracy against us all. Surely that smug assessment does give you an inflated ego, you've rationalized the two-party conspiracy nonsense into an elitist attitude like the leftists do with their B.S.

And my hubris motivated me to respond in kind:

It's too bad you're smart enough to understand the controversy but lack clarity to see both sides are corrupt, intentional or not. Instead of demanding more choices from your govt, you decide to accept the lesser of two evils, believing that somehow good intentions with coercive government will pave the road to utopia. Surely that assessment makes you feel like the bigger man; you've rationalized the false dichotomy into the black-and-white, good-vs-evil struggle both parties try to project.

So my dad is watching This Week on ABC and the roundtable segment is talking about foreign policy, which will be the focal point of tomorrow's "debate." Now of course they're acting like Obama is going to be the "diplomatic" president compared to Romney (which is failure in and of itself,) but the fail gets topped off by Gretta Von Susteren.
