You know you're a left-wing moron when

The conservatives seem embarrassed that the best they can do is Mitt Romney, and the liberals seem quite confident that Barack Obama will be re-elected. Otherwise, watching two ordinary citizens from opposite parties debate the election is like watching a dog chase a cat on a hot day -- neither of them seems comfortable about it, and they're both walking.

I found the Che Guevera one funny ten years ago when I first heard it. The contradiction with either peace, justice, what have you, is there, it's just been done before. Often. Way too often.

The statement about communism is funny, I'll admit, but it would have been funnier if said by someone would believed in said statement.

When you sympathize with terrorists and also want an open border between USA and Mexico.

Because there are third parties.

On the topic...

You believe that in every single political issue can be framed in terms of "evil oppressors" and "innocent victims".

To be fair this kind of thinking isn't completely unique to the left but it is a true stereotype at times.

When you are against the first amendment via political corectness and against the second amendment.

+1 Yah, I'm tired of right wingers acting like they have a monopoly on Thomas Paine too. I guess we can thank that manic depressive, period costume wearing loudmouth on Fox News for that.

"Political correctness" is just a buzz world right wingers use to bludgeon their detractors with. In the USSR, those who didn't tow the party line were considered politically incorrect. This isn't behavior right wingers are immune to. Maybe to some right wingers, not being an obnoxious, misogynistic loud mouth who makes fun of ret*d people is politically incorrect, as its against their party line and dogma.

Ah, yah precisely true to the right wing. They sympathize with terrorists like the Contras, Muhajadeen, and Saudi royal family, and they want open, unregulated trade between the US and Mexico, even if it undermines the autonomy and strength of both economies.

I like tea.

Now there is something useful in this thread, as well.

Actually, I believe the problem with this thread (and it's right-wing equivalent) is the common US belief that every single political issue can be framed in terms of "liberal" and "conservative".

Exactly - when an awful lot of "liberals" really aren't very liberal at all and "conservatives" tend to be socially conservative religious types.

Actually, it can be. Just ask Inuyasha.

A lot of right wingers like to whinge that they are being "silenced" when they are simply told that they are obnoxious, insensitive, offensive, etc... to which I say pffffffffffft, cry me a river. Somehow to them "freedom of speech" and "tolerance" means you have to be perfectly polite and respectful with them when their very views are oh so respectful. It's not like you're going to be locked up and sent to a forcible re-education camp so pulling the "free speech" card all the time is frankly stupid.

I found it funny when I first read it, too. It's just that I first read it 5 minutes ago.

If you've heard a funny joke before, that doesn't make it unfunny.


This describes quite a large category of jokes. I don't think saying 'it's been done before' is particularly meaningful if you're going to cast such a wide net. Better to say you just dislike that category of joke.


1) Left wingers have their own buzzwords they like to bludgeon opponents with.

2) Political correctness is a useful concept -- the idea that sometimes politicians sometimes say certain things to appear good, and that appearances are sometimes deceiving. I'm not saying it's never misused, just that it's a useful idea when it isn't.

- You know you are a leftwing nutjob when you can't laugh at yourself but find anything that bashes your left wing views to be highly offensive.

- You know you're a leftwing nutjob when you think anyone that disagrees with you is a right-wing extremist. (Wait guess you wouldn't realize it at that point).

- You know you're a leftwing nutjob when you start talking like Bill Maher.

- You make shrines to Al Gore and altars to worship Obama.

Anyways I found the Rightwing thread to be rather amusing at times, just didn't bother posting on it. I just find it interesting so many people are getting offended by this thread.
