Folks...*ahem* YOU'RE DOING IT WRONG!
 Advertisements [?]When you make an anecdotal post about the conversion of your ultra-neocon stepmother / father / sister / aunt / barber / haberdasher / random small town guy at a restaurant...Don't include exact quotes from ten minutes' worth of conversation. It just lets us know that you're lying.

You know, unless you happened to have a tape recorder on you.

DU during election season has more fiction than the Chicago public library!

7. Those conversations are clearly not word-for-word what was
 said, and no one believes that.

Rather, it is the poster's best retelling (in so many words) of a remembered conversation.

But I guess the average conservative can't wrap their tiny little brain around that idea...

10. If you do not worship the god that is DU in every way, you are a Republican!
 You're putting me to sleep with that one. It's really kind of pathetic. If you knew what I did for a living, you'd bite your tongue.

As for your other stuff...The use of quotation marks with no disclaimer means you're full of it.

8. I think most people realize that recounts of conversations are parapharased.
 They would almost have to be unless the conversation were very short.

And since most of us have no idea who others are, it's really hard to determine what motivations may be involved. Take it with a grain of salt, but not all of them are going to be fiction.

Okay . . . whose mole is Venceremos? (PM me and I'll H5 you quietly.)
"Timid men prefer the calm of despotism to the tempestuous sea of Liberty." - Thomas Jefferson

"All you have to do is look straight and see the road, and when you see it, don't sit looking at it - walk!" -Ayn Rand
 
"Those that trust God with their safety must yet use proper means for their safety, otherwise they tempt Him, and do not trust Him.  God will provide, but so must we also." - Matthew Henry, Commentary on 2 Chronicles 32, from Matthew Henry's Commentary on the Whole Bible

"These anti-gun fools are more dangerous to liberty than street criminals or foreign spies."--Theodore Haas, Dachau Survivor

Chase her.
Chase her even when she's yours.
That's the only way you'll be assured to never lose her.

I would not presume to speak for all lousy freeper trolls, but I think it runs counter to our long term enjoyment of DUmmy imbecility to discourage bouncy stories. Just consider that without lies, we would not have enjoyed the best of William Rivers Pitt, and TiTtyboy Tom would not even exist.

So, if Venceramos is here, please, sir, cease and desist!

For some time now - They even adopted describing them as bouncy.

Poor Bouncy Ball, I wonder what happened to her. If Obama loses it will be because she has ended her conversion mission. :(  :-)
