This morning, I was drawn into quite an interesting debate with two liberal Twits…ones that apparently can’t think for themselves. Read the exchange below (copied directly from Twitter) and see who’s drinking their kool-aid, one glass right after another. The first post, which started the whole thing, was by a LibTwit named @clairecelsi (@‘s omitted for clarity):
@clairecelsi: Getting sick of reading about all the people who don’t believe Obama is an American citizen. It’s proven, get over it, move on.
Me (@ericleeus): How has it been proven? Have you seen his Birth Certificate? Do you have a copy? If not, then it hasn’t.
@clairecelsi: The document is in storage in Hawaii. The guy in charge of it says its authentic. That’s good enough for me. YOU go see it.
@ericleeus: So I suppose if Obama told you the sky was pink, you would just believe it right? Sorry, not good enough.
@clairecelsi: Changing the subject? Typical stupidity. I’m on to your tactics.
@ericleeus: No, it’s not changing the subject. It’s called illustrative comparison.
@ericleeus: And you’re calling me “stupid”? That’s a typical Democrat for you — call names if you can’t debate..I’m on to YOUR tactics.
And here’s where the second LibTwit chimes in…
@glynnwilcox: actually calling names is a tired [sic] and true GOP tactic. Mostly calling someone unamerican and the like ( :: ) send a bandaid 4 #hc
@ericleeus: You have your parties confused — It’s the Democrats that have been calling people “Un-American.” I can give examples.
@ericleeus: Tom Hanks, Nancy Pelosi, “Chucky” Shumer, Patrick Leahy, etc. — want me to go on?
@glynnwilcox: so let me get this straight. After 8 years of anytime there was oposition anyone was called unamerican. Ohhh okay so now it’s dif[ferent]
@ericleeus: I don’t think so, bub…It was the DEMOCRATS calling the Republicans Anti-American & and war criminals for 8 years.
@glynnwilcox: so waterboarding = good American value? Really?
@ericleeus (I re-tweeted his asinine statement): RT @glynnwilcox @ericleeus so waterboarding = good American value? Really? ME: If it saves American lives, then YES! (It’s NOT torture.)
@ericleeus: Way to change the subject there, bub.
And that’s where the exchange ended…As you can see, when their argument fell apart, one LibTwit resorted to name-calling and the other resorted to re-hashing a completely off-topic debate — one that doesn’t “hold water”…he really did change the subject.
So class, the lesson here is — stick to facts when debating liberals. They can’t stand it, and they can’t stand toe-to-toe with you. You’ll win the debate every time.
