[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Masterful trolling on Rush

Posted: 2/15/2013 10:49:30 AM EDT

Just on, rush read a letter to the editor that was a masterful pseudo-lib troll. Had me rolling on the floor!

Where did I recognize it from? It was very familiar.

It referenced the "More modern way of life" letter - I found it on Snopes, where Rush said it had been authenticated.

The part below that I put in italics and bold give you an idea of the average liberal's intelligence level.

TO THE EDITOR:

Republicans and "so-called” conservatives are at it
again. They are claiming that the Constitution gives people the right to
have guns without the permission of the government. If that were true,
then how could New York and Chicago have laws against it?

We Democrats are sick and tired of Republicans
constantly using the Constitution to cover up their true plans, which
are to make us all afraid of everyone else. Our great president came
from a civilized part of the country where there is strict gun control,
and he is only trying to bring the benefits of that more modern way of
living to the rest of us. I don’t know the exact statistics, but I’m
quite certain that Chicago is a lot safer that Morehead City, when it
comes to gun violence.

But do Republicans and conservatives listen to the
voice of reason? No, of course not. All they want to do is whine and
complain about how gun control and wealth redistribution violate the
Constitution, as if the Constitution were all that great, anyway. There
are a lot of things that need to be changed about the Constitution, I’d
say, and President Obama needs to change it.

The Republicans are just trying to stand in the way,
because the president is black. They even dared to question whether he
was born in this country. I think all this demonstrates that the
Constitution needs to be amended when it comes to the qualifications for
being president. Right now, it says that a person has to be 35 years
old and be a natural born citizen. Well, that is obviously unfair
because there are a great many otherwise qualified people who cannot run
for president because their mothers had to have a C-section. But
because the Constitution was written a hundred years ago, nobody even
thought of the discrimination that would result from a doctor having to
deliver a baby in this unnatural way. Now that we Democrats are in
control of the government, that’s just one more thing we should change
in our drive to make life fair.

Please withhold my name because I don’t want to get crank calls.

PROUD TO BE A DEMOCRAT
