as opposed to your illegal alien drunken uncle?
“PAID FOR BY MOVEON.ORG POLITICAL ACTION”
They actually paid for that!?
If I had a relative (at a family gathering I’m hosting) say the first five words of any of these talking points, he/she gets kicked out of the house. Instantly. To the cheers of even the most liberal of my guests. It’s a family rule, and it applies to anybody bringing up a conservative argument as well.
Properly done, a gathering like Thanksgiving is a lot of work for the host, and I won’t have it ruined by arguments.
Just look at their source references to determine how their opinions stack up- CNN, wiki, NPR, Huf ‘n Puf, the Guardian...all liars.
Wow. Armed with so much steamy BS I envision a slaughter at the dinner table with Dear Old Uncle...;-)
More drivel and falsehoods by those who swill bongwater for breakfast.
(REALITY: As anybody who’s looked for a job in the last few years knows, there just aren’t jobs out there.)
It’s great news that the moveon.org people at least started acknowledging that bit of reality. The next giant step is to ask them where jobs come from if their favorite pass time of bashing job producers continues.
Another nice question to ask them is why should corporations put to use the giant hoard of cash to hire American employees, when the moveon.org folks just want to increase taxes on them, and on S-Corp small entrepreneur.
Another nice question is to ask them where they think the money is going to come from for all these government jobs that they want to create, building infrastructure, research, and whatever else is on their wish list. Here’s another REALITY check for them: we’re broke.
Boy, sure looks like they are a mouth piece for OWS.
As soon as footnote #4 is trotted out as validation, uncle won’t be able to say a thing.
Those sources are AWESOME!!! Wikipedia, Michael Moore, NPR, Washington Post, TPM, all the usual suspects.
Unfortunately, facts have a nasty way of deflating those liberal fantasies.
I make it a point not to discuss politics with my lefty aunts, uncles and cousins on Thanksgiving.
But I have to say the “facts” in this article are laughable, particularly the last one about the biggest causes of the deficits being the Bush tax cuts (completely wrong), and the economic crash, which is true, but which neglects to mention the Fannie and Freddie debacle as the main cause.
I love how they “prove” their facts by citing the Washington Post and other lefty sites.
# 1:
As Democrats continue to cast Republicans as the obstructionist “Party of No” (a label that conveniently ignores Democratic disunity), remember this: Not a single Senate Democrat has voted ‘yes’ on any proposed buget this year. That’s right, every Democrat in the United States Senate has voted to reject all five budget resolutions brought before them; four from Republicans, and one from President Obama. And no, the little debt deal “deem” gimmick doesn’t absolve you of any responsibility here.
WOOOHOOO! another new rat milestone!
Eight Hundred Days Without A Budget-A new milestone in Democrat Party governance is reached.

And their "facts" are opinion columns by lefty writers.
Absolutely hilarious! Michael Moore is cited as a “source”
Not the Census Bureau, not JAMA, not Congressional Quarterly... Michael Freakin’ Moore !!!!!
Bwah-hahahahahaha
Oh, these libtards, they’re just too much.
MoveOn - by, for, and all about society’s losers and misfits.
The left has painted itself into a corner with us. They desperatly want to indoctrinate us into believing in nothing so if we consider it, we start with them. It then becomes like a circular argument.
One problem with this theory is that long before Thanksgiving, liberals will go out of their way to be so obnoxious that most everyone will refrain from inviting them to the dinner.
1) “Whyyyyy are you having turkey? Don’t you know how turkeys suffer on ‘factory farms’, and are fed antibiotics and pesticides, before they are beaten and tortured? You should instead eat “tofurky”, with beansprouts and felafel.”
2) “Whyyyy do you insist on ‘praying’ before dinner? Don’t you know that there is no God and that Christians are *just like* Taliban in oppressing everyone?”
3) “I put re-elect Obama bumper stickers on everyone’s cars, along with ‘Police Are Fascist Pigs’, ‘Abortion Is Better Than Babies’, ‘Ban Guns’, ‘Free Mumia’, and ‘Kill The Rich’ stickers.”
4) “I’m going to bring my boyfriends I’m living with. One is a Somali jihadist. Another is a Maoist communist from Nepal, who is bringing his pet howler monkey. But the one who used to be an MS-13 gang member can’t come because his tuberculosis has ruined his appetite. It’s okay, because I don’t think he’s contagious.”
etc., etc. You may be related to them, but their ideas about life and things are closer to the howler monkey than they are to yours.
#1: Raising taxes will reduce revenue. See the Laffer Curve. The Left’s insistence on raising taxes on the wealthy is punitive, not productive.
#2: Occupy Wall Street may not have a formal list of demands, but ... but nothing. Vague complaints do not make for a viable debate unto substantive ends.
#3: There are jobs. Good paying ones. Market segments expand and contract; if your segment is contracting, change career and location as appropriate. There’s a job boom in South Dakota and other “flyover” states; your not wanting to move isn’t anyone else’s problem.
#4: Some, albeit not all, are looking for a fight. Those not so inclined best reconsider who they’re hanging around with.
#5: Quantify those assertions and you’ll be shocked at how absurd they are. I did.
