The most idiotic circular argument, even by DU standards

Not an OP, just an example of the same breathtakingly stupid argument I've seen used several times by different people in the Zimmerman threads:

Yeow.

That's........

I'm not sure.  This approaches a level of stupid that is hard to define, exactly.  This is the type of idiot who tries to out-think s/h/itself.  Being all educated and shit.....

I guess.  Tail-chasing, to prove an unprovable supposition.

Liberal thinking is a two-legged stool and magical thinking is one of the legs, the other is a combination of self-loating and misanthropy.  To understand it, you would have to be able to sit on that stool while juggling two elephants, an anvil and a fragmentation grenade, sans pin.

It's like this DUmmy, let's say you are on a boat and you are wearing a life jacket, does the life jacket take away any concern about falling in the water?

Put it in a round room and tell it there is a freshly reloaded EBT card in the corner.
