The astounding disconnect is stunning
Edited on Sat Oct-25-08 10:08 PM by MadHound
Once more I've been indulging in my guilty pleasure, going over and watching the zoo over at FR. Just watching the mental fuses blow, the back biting and sniping, watching as that entire brainless cancer just implode as reality, for once, starts to become clear is really a fine way of getting a five minute giggle.

Anyhoo as I was wandering around the chaos and carnage, I stumbled across this little gem <http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2115382/posts>. The OP is your standard freeper BS, but what caught my attention is the claim that Zogby has the race tightening down to three points. Of course the source of this supposed Zogby poll was Drudge. However I went over to the Zogby site and what do I find? Why gee, it's October 25 and Zogby has Obama up by 9.5%

These poor deluded fools are so damn gullible. Or so damn lazy that they can't click the mouse to check for themselves. All of this a day after Drudge again crashed and burned. If it wasn't so damn funny, and sadly so damn consequential to the rest of us, these delusions, this stupidity would be pathetic. Sadly though, we've suffered the consequences of such stupid thinking for eight years now and more. It will be nice to have a sense of reality restored to our government and our society. And it is great fun to watch reality dawning on the freepers like the sun dawning over rock mountain.

On edit: I just found an entire thread dedicated to this stupidity <http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2115349/posts> These people are desperately clinging to whatever illusions they can as reality intrudes itself further and further into the neocon, RW fundy fantasy world.

Oh, and for you lurkers out there, and I know you're there, here's the actual link to the Zogby Poll, one mouse click away. Go ahead, take a look-see. <http://www.zogby.com/news/ReadNews.dbm?ID=1608> Yes, that's your fantasy world going down the toilet. Face it, once again you've been pwn3d by Drudge. One would think that you would learn, oh, wait, that requires thinking:eyes:

1. you know I called an old friend stupid today.....
he was whining about his "fear" of what was happening...that would be his universe crumbling as he knew it, I replied that ONLY THE TERMINALLY STUPID could still support this COLOSSAL FAILURE of a party!!!! I interpreted his code-talk precisely for him, he really thought I was a dumb as he was.



Pie Anyone?

2. Well said, Madhound !
As I've said elsewhere, the truth has finally put its shoes on. The lies and deceptions are being exposed for all to see. The lies about "trickle down" economics. The lies about cutting taxes bringing in more revenue to our Treasury. The lies about the "liberal media". The deceptions about preachers, domestic terrorists, and socialists. The giant has awakened.

3. Glad you posted about it - I just spent 15 min or so scanning some of their
more deluded posts. Just remarkable the dearth of creative thinking over there.

4. They have a user named "DrHannibalLecter"
Says a lot about them....

I know from bitter experience that, whenever supporters start saying the polls are bullshit--their candidate's going down.

I cannot WAIT to read FR on Election Night and the day after. Though I'll probably be covered in blood and brains, from the shrapnel of all the heads exploding.

How horrible! A black President AND First Lady! OMG! OMG! OMG! This is HUGH!!!11! I'm SERIES!!111!!! :rofl:

It'll be fun to Google for a HQ image of Obama's PRESIDENTIAL PORTRAIT. I want to print it up and frame it in our front room. :patriot:

5. I was at a Republican client's home a couple days ago
We're friends, so we have decided to freely discuss our politics and not let it get in the way of a good friendship. The other day he was ecstatic about a mass email he'd received about how Obama wasn't really an American because of a birth certificate issue (that had been long since discredited). He made me sit there and watch a ten minute video about it, and the whole thing was pure excitement to him.

I didn't bother trying too hard to shatter his illusions, for several unrelated reasons I won't relate here. The point is, even otherwise clear thinking, intelligent, mature adults are being sucked into pure illusion and running with it out of sheer denial.

I could almost feel sorry for them if they weren't so absolutely gullible. Almost. :shrug:
