Liberals truly are fonts of sophistication and erudition. We know this because liberals tell us, and liberals are smart. They would never mangle words as does Dubya Bush or misspell “potato” like hapless Dan Quayle. But there are some things they would do, and what follows is a sampling.
San Francisco’s KTVU made news when reporting on the Asiana plane crash recently — but not in the way they intended. Mistaking an obvious Internet joke for legitimate information, the station reported, “KTVU has just learned the names of the four pilots who were aboard the flight. They are Captain Sum Ting Wong, Wi Tu Low, Ho Lee Fuk and Bang Ding OW. The NTSB has confirmed that these are the names of the pilots onboard Flight 214 when it crashed. We are working to determine what roles each of them played during the landing.”
There’s Sum Ting Wong in the mainstream media, alright.
But perhaps KTVU had graduated from the Patsy Schroeder School of Comedy. During a 1990s budget battle, the Democrats said that if the GOP got its way, the elderly would have to eat dog food to afford medicine. Radio host Rush Limbaugh then spoofed this demagoguery in a GOPAC speech, joking that he’d bought his mother a new can opener “so that she can get the dog food easier when she has to eat it.”
Enter liberal Congresswoman Schroeder. Taking Limbaugh’s comment seriously, she appeared on the House floor the next day to complain, emotionally and incredulously, that “this is what it’s come to! …Rush Limbaugh actually said he's going to buy his mother a can opener so she can have dog food. Wow!”
Yeah, wow. And they say conservatives have no sense of humor?

Read rest here.
The jewel in the crown is the mantra that conservatives are morons.
And they really believe it!

Right-wingers have said countless truly idiotic things ,too. Remember that brainless little fart Todd kin and "legitimte rape"? And the moronic claim tht women who are raped rarely get pregnant becuse th ebody has ways of "shutting down" during a rape, despite the fct that about 30,000 pregnancies yer are the result of rape ?
Or the anti-gay bigots who claim that all or most homosexuals are child molesters, despute the fact that most child molestation is by HETEROSEXUALS ? Or the idiotic claim that homosexuals "recruit" chil;dren into homosexuality ? Or that gays are using public schools to "recruit " kids into homosexuality , and that the attempt of our schools to tech tolernce of gay people is "indoctrination"?
This is just the tip of the iceberg of imbecilic statements made by right-wingers in America .
