Most of these people don't care if its a lie. They don't know jack shit about economics or the Smoot Hawley act, either.
They've turned this issue into a myth.
Face it, Slearly, the sorts of conservatives you encounter here aren't reality based thinkers.
Niether are MOST of them here in any way representative of mainstream conservatives.
These people are mostly ignorant trolls who parrot a few phrases they've been taught.
They're not seeking to win hearts and minds, here, they're seeking to evoke responses so they can personally insult those who refute their ignorant blather.
They were talking about this on the Ed Schultz show the other day. They said, "it's hard to argue with a right winger because all they have are talking points"
I agree.
Because everytime you make a point to a right winger, all they do is ignore your point and move on to another talking point.
They don't analyze, or philosophize, or deep think anything thru.
For example, it is common sense that it is wrong to deny gay couples all the same rights as straight couples. There is no justification to deny them. But right wingers come up with some crazy shit. They compared gays marrying to siblings marrying, or a man marrying a goat. Or they say, "it'll ruin the sanctity of marriage", or "the bible says".
None of those arguments are good. That's why the courts are going to pass gay marriage.
But then the right wingers will just fall back on their argument of "ACTIVIST JUDGES LEGISLATING FROM THE BENCH"
God I hate Republicans.
