Sick

Remember the small brouhaha over my quoting South Park's figures on the number of Americans who believe in 9/11 conspiracies? I said that the "1/4 of the country is retarded" number sounded about right.

Turns out, it is right for the general population (22%) but, according to a new Rasmussen poll, that number is higher for Democrats: "Thirty-five percent (35%) of Democrats believe he did know, 39% say he did not know, and 26% are not sure."

As a parent of a child with a mental disabilty, I truly hate and wholeheartedly object to the use of the word "retarded" -- Grow Up please

It's from South Park, not my own language. But anyway, retarded actually means slow in mental development which applies to people who believe 9/11 was an inside job.

I prefer term "mouth-breathers" myself.

Or-and I hate to borrow something from Nazi terminology, but in this case it's entirely appropriate-"useless eaters."

If I were the type who favored involutary euthanasia-which I'm not-these are the cretins who would be first on my list of expendable carbon-emitters to go.

And Karol is absolutely right, plankton exhibits more intelligence than these moonbats.

Penn & Teller had these nutbars pegged.

Bullshit

Just before the last election a study at UC stated that 48% (almost a direct match for the retards that voted for a known traitor) of the American people should be or would need mental health care in the future. You are not far off on the percentage of retards in the country, all democrats.

I don't know why my comment with the Zogby poll didn't post.

*shrugs*

Anyway, my point was that even if you discount the size of the polling sample the fact that a large portion-in the millions-agree with the patently absurd thesis posited by the Troofer crowd demonstrates that there's a huge segment of the American public that lacks critical thinking skills.

That doesn't bode well for our future, IMO.

All snug here in your cozy blog, reflecting shared opinions? Of course there are moonbats (read extremists) for every contradiction of orthodoxy. But, IF you will give the evidence for WTC 7 a reasonably close exam, you will find that the orthodox explanation for the total and symmetrical collapse (into it's own footprint at free fall speed) by a 47 story building that was not hit by an airplane defies the laws of physics. Once you have taken that step you may be motivated to look at the other "explanations" with a more jaundiced eye.

I don't know who or why anyone helped the nuts in the airplanes bring the towers down, but I know the accepted explanation is so short on facts and logic that it is becoming the unaccpeted explanation.

That is nothing more than a gutless dodge. After so many repetitions, it certainly is your language now. Own the ugliness, Karol.

TREY PARKER and MATT STONE suck and COMEDY CENTRAL stinks

Posted by: golden phoenix at May 12, 2007 05:02 PM

So 61% of Democrats are either retarded or aren't sure whether they are retarded.

Oh, and getting offended at the use of the word retarded is retarded. Get a life.

As a adult, I truly hate and wholeheartedly object to people that tell other people they can't use certain words. -- Piss Off please

Only retards get retardedly offended by hearing retard.

How retarded.

Retard.

Posted by: Radical Redneck at May 13, 2007 09:55 AM

Oh, okay. Well, I think rednecks are like child molesters because I disagree with both rednecks and child molesters.

I'm hoping that works for you, Radical Child Molester. Remember: getting upset with my doing this would be very child molesterish.

Clever.

Maybe you can work your way up to "I know you are but what am I?"

Be careful getting off the short bus - your bike helmet will only protect you so far.

Retarded could be considered an offensive term and should be avoided in comical or casual reference. South park should've said 9/11 conspiracy theorists are stoopit (now that's funny!).

*But* Karol obviously was referring to a quote from South Park if you have a bone to pick it should be with comedy central.

Regarding the poster about the oft used WTC #7 building building falling down theory was not down here to witness the utter devastation.

Tremors from a collapsing building (a one time tallest in the world no less!) debris hitting with the force of a volcanic eruption, fire a shared foundation with a coned substation, stored diesel fuel...hmmmmmmmm.... Dummy.
