A Freeper fights back against the birthers with a strange weapon - logic

[ksoze]

For those with the stomach to visit free republic and it's den of misfits, rogues, and ugliness, there is a thread worth reading. It is one of several birther focused ones, but a poster named "curiosity" appears a few postings in and refutes some of the insanity in a clear, targeted, factual manner (a rarity in freeperville). He is obviously then laid into by his brethren on the thread, but for two pages so far does an incredible job trying to bring sanity to his fellow posters in a writing effort that is worthy of the visit over to FR. His relentless fact defense is an example on how to fight against lunacy on a board.

1. Alright... which one of you is it?

We all know freepers are incapable of logic :rofl:

[Berry Cool]

2. I fail to understand how any other approach makes sense, Captain.

But it does appear that FreeRepublic is a planet on which the concept of logic is unsustainable for long periods due to a lack of sufficient oxygen in their atmosphere.

Perhaps it has something to do with the natives' practice of breathing through the mouth.

9. That was my first question.

Seriously - it can't possibly be one of them. :rofl:

3. Here's my fav and gets to the crux of the argument.

Whackjob 2ndDivisionVet "as has been proved over and over again here on FR."

Curosity: You can't prove something by simply repeating it over and over again.

[Still Sensible]

6. But that is the Rove Doctrine isn't it?

Just say made up shit over and over... and it becomes true (to the gullible, deluded sheep). Damn, it worked so well for such a long time, they just can't accept that it isn't working nearly as well anymore.

4. That guy is in a losing situation

he's a brave one but surrounded by zombies slurring the word "BRAINS!" as he slowly runs out of 12 Ga. shells. Trying to talk sense to the deluded is simply a waste of time.

[Arkansas Granny]

12. Yep. There are none so blind as those who will not see.

[leftynyc]

5. I can't believe they haven't

banned this person for being sane. I can't believe they're pinning their hopes on Taits, Esq. The woman is a total whackjob who, I'm sure, is enjoying taking their money so she can travel whereever she wants. I also see their 2nd quarter fundraising gig is still going on a full month later. Perhaps people are catching on to the scam.

11. Only fools would follow a women who doesn't realize the Cobert Report is satire

Once Orly went on the Colbert Report and proved she didn't realize that the show is a goof that should have ruined any credibility she claimed to have.

7. "I am not opposed to founding out the truth."

I am not opposed to founding out the truth. I have only added two thoughts of caution:

1) Watch out for traps (Orly).

2) Don’t let it distract you from real issues.


------------------------------

hmm. looks like they're catching onto Orly after that disastrous performance yesterday.

8. Here's another good oneby him and actually an original:

Alan Keyes is not an idiot. He just pretends to be one so that he can attract a following of lunatics and conspiracy theorists.

[provis99]

10. well now I'm curious about Curiosity

Does he realize that arguing with a freeper is like arguing with a pile of monkey shit? Gotta give the guy credit. I wonder if he's one of us, and has been banned from freeperville yet for forbidden practices, like using logic and reason?

[Guy Whitey Corngood]

13. OK first, I need a shower now. Second how the fuck can anyone follow a conversation

with that stupid ass interface they have. It makes my head hurt.

[and-justice-for-all]

14. That person just got banned from FR..nt
