Political fun and games with one of my liberal nieces
« on: August 22, 2010, 11:47:06 AM »
I have so many liberals in my extended family that I've lost count.

Anywho, many of them have friended me on Facebook, a site I never bothered with previously.

One niece posted yesterday about Sarah Palin stumbling over the word "underestimated," instead saying "misunderestimated". My niece and her friends were yukking it up, so I thought I'd try baiting them. I said, "Did you hear Sarah Palin say that FDR went on TV in 1929 to reassure Americans about the economy? The only problem is that FDR wasn't president in 1929, and there was no TV in 1929."

I wanted to see if they'd take the bait, or if they were sufficiently well-read to know that it was Biden who said that. Nope. They were, like, totally OMG, ROFL, LMAO. So I burst their bubbles and told them it was Biden, then steered them to the Katie Couric interview, as well as to some other sites that list Biden and Obama gaffes.

They're cute, but they sure ain't smart.

That's cruel, MonkeyLeg, just plain cruel.
Keep us updated on any further hijinks in this area, please?   >:D

Conservatives see George Orwell's "1984" as a cautionary tale.  Progressives view it as a "how to" manual.

My wife often says to me, "You are evil and must be destroyed." She may be right.

Liberals believe one should never let reason, logic and facts get in the way of a good emotional argument.

The gaffe was even recorded:  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nP3cOQDD8co

I gave them the YouTube link as well, not that any of it will do any good.

Make sure you tell them about Palin campaigning in all 57 states . . .  >:D
