They also resort to ad-hominem attacks, and change the subject frequently.
I go with Alinsky. A liberals biggest fear is being humiliated. I have humiliating a liberal down to an art form. And when the liberal whines about it, I humiliate him that he is a whiner.
Communists, who frequently masquerade as “liberals,” frequently redefine terms, both overtly and covertly, to skew discussions in their favor.
They will refuse to accept the wrong-doings of their politicians or try to avoid it by bringing up some example of a Republican doing the same thing.
Yep, when all else fails they will call you a racist, sexist, homophobe, or religious fanatic. Then you know you’ve won the argument.
I find that asking them a lot of questions works very well when debating.
You can set up your questions in a way that they will box themselves into a corner. I would also note that usually when they recognize this, they will lash out with the most vile and hateful speech they can muster.
You (or someone) should make this into a Bingo type graphic to post at the begining of the arguement so others can play Liberal Debate Bingo while watching.
Good stuff so far.....I can see fine tuning this.
This is assuming that they even acknowledge or answer your question though.
So that is one of my predictions
* You will not answer my question(s)
The asking them a lot of questions is a debate tactic, I am looking for the predictable things they do to put on a list.
You meant to say 'cite', yes?
Yes thanks...
This is one variation of The Delphi Technique.

better- hit them in the mouth
best- shoot them in the head
They cannot tell you what the other side of any political argument is without snark. Seriously, they don't know what the other side of the argument is.
I agree with you that Leftists are non logical when it comes to politics and won’t change. However, there are a lot of other people who think they don’t pay attention to politics, they too are on social network sites, and they are the ones to try to get to.
I see this as a way to get through to these low info, non political people. They will see first hand how a conservative responds and thinks, and what a lunatic the leftist is.
One example: I like to go to this decorating forum. Since it is a decorating forum, politics is pretty much off limits, but you could still tell by their reaction to “female” issues what side of the political spectrum they resided. During the R primary, someone started a thread about who should win the GOP ticket. These women were so busy insulting the wives of the candidates running and patting themselves on the back that they could be so open minded and have a nice discussion about the primaries.
I stayed on topic, and was polite, but I wrote that I would be supporting Newt since my gal Sarah wasn’t running.
I KNEW this would send these leftists into a tizzy, and boy it sure did. They were so nasty to me, Sarah, and FOX that the mods pulled the thread. This accomplished something significant. All of these types of sites have a lot of lurkers, and others who just don’t want to be treated badly. When you try to tell low info people of the lefts nastiness, they respond with “both sides do it” I want them to know and see these people for who they are, and maybe to realize they have been lied to for a long time.
