"They Think We're Idiots, So We'll Vote the Right Way!!!"

advertisement

I absolutely ADORE this argument: "Person/Administration X thinks we/women/Americans/etc. are a bunch of idiots, but we're not, so we'll vote for Candidate Y instead!"

Well, I agree as well:

Obama thinks we/Americans/women/men are a bunch of idiots.
Obama thinks we will believe his lies.
Obama thinks we will fall for his deception.
Obama thinks we will overlook his denial of Hillary.
Obama thinks we will overlook his denial of women in top leadership.
Obama thinks we won't notice the black to white racism.
Obama thinks we will go along with socialism.
Obama thinks we will forget his multi-million dollar supporters.
Obama thinks we can't read about his FanMae/FredMac bribery.
Obama thinks we will overlook his organization's voter fraud.

Well, I'm not stupid. I'm a Yale law graduate and a successful attorney. My husband is a successful economist. And yes, we're soccer parents. And NRA members. And we even enjoy country music. So attack away liberal pseudo-thinkers. But we won't be fooled. And neither will many others.

Oh, I'm not saying that we'll win. It may very well be that Obama is right, that many people in America are idiotic, or ignorant, or apathetic, or ridiculous enough to vote for him.

Yes, Obama may win. And if he does, America will lose. We will all lose. (Well, except for Obama and his rich friends.)

Who's leading the conversation?
This visualization below allows you to see the impact that each user has on the current conversation. The top row contains the group of users who have had the most impact, the 2nd row the group of users who have had the 2nd most impact (et cetera). Users with similar impact are grouped together, and the average score of the group is shown to the left of the group. The author of the article is also shown on the left, in their corresponding group. Each user's score is based on the number of comments the user has made plus the number of votes their comments have received. The scores are calculated relative one another, so while their absolute value is not particularly important, their relative difference does indicate a larger difference in impact on the conversation.

The only Idiot's are the Obama followers. They will put this country on the line, and under the threat of Socialism because they are looking for something that is not in Obama.Young voter's think they can go down in history as the first people to vote for a black man without even looking at the man himself,and what he believe's in. We will go down in history,but not as the first black man ever elected. It will be the first Socialist to hold our highest office.

    This comment is absurd, and subtley racist.

    Look at what capitalism has done for us. Look at the unemployed, the poor, the homeless. Look at the exploited third world nations. Look at the rampant health issues caused by products sold by large companies. I'm no socialist, but I think it's intellectually dishonest to defend capitalism. Either that, or plain ignorant of the goings-on in the world that aren't plastered on the mainstream news.

    And are you seriously suggesting that McCain would be a better option? Really?

    You know who I think are idiots? Wait, let me elaborate on that. Do you know who I think are some of the most ignorant @!$%#s that the sweet Lord ever blessed this planet with? The people who think we've forgotten what's happened over the past 8 years:

    The people who think we forgot about how the invasion of Iraq was shown to have nothing to do with September 11th.

    The people who think we forgot how they tried to amend the Constitution to suit the whims of religious zealots.

    The people who think we forgot how they let the people in New Orleans die and then gave each other a hearty pat on the back and a round of "Good job, guys!"

    The people who think we forgot how they crumpled up Habeus Corpus and threw it in the trash.

    The people who think we forgot their willingness to beat, torture and murder anyone they think might possibly pose a threat to this country.

    The people who think we forgot how they sent thousands of our children to die in defense of our freedoms while slowly whittling those same freedoms away...

    But you know who I think are the most ignorant, cowardly, despicable, @!$%#s of all? The people who really think we'd want to re-elect the party responsible for all that.

    Matt

    Gee, I wonder what REALLY prompted you to write this hate-filled love letter to McCain.  Don't worry, you're going to pay your fair share when the nation elects President Obama.

      One word in her letter said it all: lawyer.

        This article is absurd.

        "Obama thinks we/Americans/women/men are a bunch of idiots."

        Evidence, please.

        "Obama thinks we will believe his lies."

        What lies do you speak of? What about McCain's lies?

        "Obama thinks we will fall for his deception."

        What deception do you speak of? Isn't this redundant?

        "Obama thinks we will overlook his denial of Hillary."

        What about it? Wouldn't it have been pandering to have picked her as VP? Wouldn't it have been legitimizing of the racist primary campaign that she ran?

        "Obama thinks we will overlook his denial of women in top leadership."

        Again, evidence.

        "Obama thinks we won't notice the black to white racism."

        In all your years at school, have you taken a sociology class at all? Black on white racism... this is the silliest damned thing on your list.

        "Obama thinks we will go along with socialism."

        Just look at how amazingly capitalism has been working!

        "Obama thinks we will forget his multi-million dollar supporters."

        Clinton and McCain both had/have more. He has far more lower and middle class supporters than either of them. This point doesn't make any sense at all.

        "Obama thinks we can't read about his FanMae/FredMac bribery."

        Yeah! So does that McCain guy! Wait a sec...

        "Obama thinks we will overlook his organization's voter fraud."

        Are you high? You do realize that the GOP is the group currently engaged in voter fraud in something like seven states, right?

        A Yale graduate is accusing anyone of being a "pseudo thinker"? HA.

        By the way, much better to vote for Barack only because he's black than McCain because he's a POW. Or pretends to be a reformer.

        Surely no one intelligent enough to get into the NRA thinks McCain believes Americans are any less idiotic than Obama does.
