2009 will probably go down as the Year of Stupid. Everywhere you look you see birthers, deathers, deniers, tea fetishists, and semi-literate amateur pundits screaming and frothing over their unsupported, repeatedly debunked line of argument. They are wrong. Dead wrong. Distractingly, even dangerously wrong. And since they will not, or more likely cannot, understand this fact they go on screaming and frothing in a fruitless quest for validation. They'll disrupt town hall meetings, Congressional addresses, and children's birthday parties to remind you, just in case you allowed yourself to forget for even a moment, of just how painfully stupid they really are.
Clearly, stupidity has always been with us. It would probably be accurate to say that stupidity is our natural state as human animals and that we separate ourselves from less capable species only through our ability to move past it. But in this age of cable news and Internet anonymity we have lost that tenuous connection between ignorance and shame....
The problem, it seems, is that we have indulged our stupidest citizens either because we wish to avoid the hassle and conflict or for pure entertainment value. We have treated them like indulged children, so it should not surprise us when they eventually behave like them....
We're going to have to start slapping people again....
Example 1: "Captain! Captain, we're all going to die!" *slap* "OK. I'll get the fire extinguisher."Example 2: "Why won't the President show us his real birth certificate?" *slap* "OK."
Example 3: "So, that email thing says that global warming is officially a hoax-" *slap*

Let them start it—I know many who are just waiting for the opportunity to defend themselves against physical attack. They’re not stupid—they’re well informed about what is going on in this country with leftists—we say, go ahead and slap.
If you got slapped every time you posted ridiculous garbage like this you’d be too disoriented to post crap like this...
Hmm, maybe the author has a point.

“Yeah, that stupid Palin, saying she could see Russia from her home—” [slap!]
“Ow! No, really, you know she’s bone stupid and she’s an egomaniac, don’t you? McCain’s staffers said so. Why would they l—” [SLAP!]
“OWW!!!...And is the retard really her k—”
[steps back, picks up a baseball bat and...]
Gosh! that is the nicest thing anyone here as every said about steve-b and more than he deserves.
idiots like this need to be punched in the throat, HARD!
But the evidence supports the allegations of fraud on part of climate-change research; further, why shouldn’t someone be concerned over the possible and/or probable violation of the Constitution (it is, after all, THE supreme law of the land... if it means nothing then ALL subordinate laws ALSO mean nothing).
*sigh* — Why can’t people apply a LITTLE logic / cause-and-effect-thought to things?
Clearly, you’ve seen the show numerous times!! LOL. My wife hates it. She doesn’t like people who like to watch it much, either.
This is probably the most salient point -- it is too easy to respond to anyone who raises inconvenient facts with a crude "U R A TROLL" screed (as I know from experience).
Slap me, you silly little metro, and you will wind up IN a milk carton.
We would see what he got in return, and it wouldn't be a slap.

Either works for me.
Oh, you brave crusader for truth and justice!
The guy is writing with blinders on, and has no idea that the blinders are there.
I don't believe he's heard of something called Amendment One to the US Constitution.
Besides, I think the SEIU is taking care of the slapping other people around for him.
Dissent by those that think wrongly will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law...punishment to be administered before trial.
