My incident with a tea-bagger this morning (at Publix-Grocery store)

I'll try to make this short..

So I'm in line at checkout with several items...Cashier is having trouble with his register...no big deal.
Woman behind me says: "These prices are getting higher and higher..ect"....Those Liberals are going to break us all"

I turn around and she has Flags and crap all over her blouse Plus a Tea emblem. (I think to myself..oh brother..Hold your temper,
Bluejazz...don't start some nasty scene.)

But I thought I would, at least, let her know that I'm a Liberal....so I says "Well, I listen to The Daily Show and Colbert Reports".

To my surprise, she says "Oh, I watch that Colbert guy all the time...He's a true Patriot and A Real American" !!....and she goes
on and on and on about what he says is SO true. (I'm standing there thinking....W.T.F ????)

And then it finally dawns on me...."Dear God...this idiot has NO idea that his show is Satire...She thinks he REALLY feels that way about our Country"
I didn't say much more.

So this is what we have to overcome...Total, Complete, ****ing Ignorance of even the most simplest human interaction.

As I left the store, I was thinking....and this person Votes...Sigh..

1. What's that syndrome where people are too stupid to know they are stupid?   Updated at 10:44 AM

She could be the poster child for whatever its called.

Liberalism is that syndrome.

18. It's not a syndrome, its a statistical trend, if I know what you're getting at.

Stupid people (tend to) rate themselves more competent than they are and smart people (tend to) rate themselves less competent than they are.

So, stupid people will tend to believe they are not stupid.

is that what you were thinking?

That splains why everyone at DU thinks they are sooper geniuses and us conservatives only think we are reasonably intelligent.

17. Commies! I wonder if she knew she was shopping at a communally held business?

Ha! That always makes me laugh....

That's the beauty of a free market people can run a business in the way they see best. Well for now anyway Obama hasn't totally destroyed business yet though he's trying.

8. It ought to be a crime

Voting while stupid.

Conservatives would win in a landslide if that were the case.

9. Freepers don't do subtle nuance in the least

their brains simply are not developed to the point where irony, satire and parody register.

This coming from the site that couldn't grasp that Hannity wasn't praising McViegh he was mocking the dummies.

13. It's people like this that really truly deserve the right wing government they long for.

I just wish they could all go somewhere and have it.

Nothin stoppin you from heading to Cuba or Venezuela to live in your leftist utopia.

14. Teabaggers don't realize that Cobert is satire.

Because he's not. He simply reflects the true mindset of the far right. Thinking people recognize the absurdity. Those he mocks don't get the joke. They just sit back and say "right on."

I haven't watched enough of Colbert to form any kind of opinion but, odds are a "conservative" on comedy central must be satire.

It was back when we had a poll tax and literacy test.....but the democrats needed the votes so they began to let "stoooopid" vote.

It's always at the grocery store, like people really talk politics while on line, everyone is in a freaking rush to get out of the store. Oh, and I live in a heavily Republican County, how come I never hear people talking politics around here when they go to the store?

I live in a heavily Republican county too....and I've never heard discussions like this. Most people are just intent on getting their stuff out of the cart, dreading how much it's going to cost, paying for it, and getting out of the parking lot without getting hit by some little old lady who's hanging onto the steering wheel for dear life and a handicap sticker hanging from the rear view mirror.

You would think we'd be bitching bigtime about Obama on line at the grocery store.

And I think trying for a spot in the 2010 Top Ten, indeed a gutsy move. His thread on 2 million dead ( posted here) did a great job of flushing out a bunch of hate filled sleepers over there while solidifying his position as an over the top anti American loon.

That's why I think it's a good possibility the sunshine primitive is a mole; the modus operendi is just too good, too slick, too nuanced, for an authentic primitive to think of, much less attempt.

Sometimes moles tend to overdo things, being a tad bit too perfect. Of course, the primitives, with lesser-developed cerebral capacities, eat it up, but decent and civilized people know what's going on.

Caution, however; this is just speculation on my part, that the sunshine primitive is a mole. franksolich has been wrong before. Only time will tell, as time inevitably does.

Uh oh..... our spotlight on the Sunny one may have boosted the primitive's confidence a tad too high.....

It's against DU policy if it reflects badly on the administration or the Dems. Aren't most of the NY politicos, Democrat?

Yup. Though, we're trying to change that. Trust me--with this bunch, it's gonna be a long hard slog.

ETA: My town is heavily Republican, and I have had political discussions with people in grocery checkout lines--but only in the last 18 months or so, and they're generally not complimentary to the mob that occupies the White House now.
