"Deliberately dumbing down the message works well with the Republican base because, compared to average Americans, the GOP rank-and-file tend to be poorly educated and dogmatically Christian, living in a culture that is hierarchical and rules based."

Sockmytoad, this applies to you: read it honey, you might learn something: Here goes:

In which we observe liberals congratulating themselves on being smirt. It’s a very dense and mindless characterization so liberals can all have their two-minutes of hate against people who kick puppies and curse the sunshine just because. I mean, I use mindless invective, but as a joke.

How twisted does your thought process have to be to think pretentiousness = smart? The thing is, there is nothing more important to liberals than thinking they are smart. And they have it in their heads that what smart people do is nothing more than go around all day making sure everybody knows they’re smart. That’s why ...

sometimes I think he just pops stuff to get his comments read.

Anywho...good clip Bear. As Toad said "Right On!"

LOL. Self-congratulatory stupidity. I haven't seen so much projection in my life than I have seen in the past 5 months or so. Here we have the clipmarks ringleader of the 9/11 truther movement calling all of us self-sufficient, rich, well-to-do, charity and church supporting, majority tax paying, majority small business owners....stupid. Then, followed with a "right on" from an ignorant toad that could not form a substantive argument about anything. Oh, Canada!

Had I called you "stupid" I'd have been accurate for the fact that you are unable to separate the words of the clipped from the words of the clipper. I didn't author the clip, I clipped it.

The author, had you taken the time to read the clipped source, happens to know a little bit about church-going (he happens to be a Quaker), tax-paying, rich, self-sufficiency... because he happens to be one of the founding executives of Cisco Systems... you know, that little computer networking company that never amounted to much because they endorsed the dumbing down of America, as your condemnation of this clip seems to indicate you do.

Zinger, socratoad. Did you think that one up all by yourself? It's been since the 2nd grade or so since I've heard the ol' 'mirror' routine. Oh, I take that back...I think I heard my soon to be 4 yr old use against my wife.

Always nice to have willhelm, the "asshole" of clipmarks visit your clips.

Wow. First Willem is "stupid" and then told to "look in the mirror" (geez!) and then called an "asshole". You guys sure know how to carry on an intelligent debate.

The name of the quoted site says it all - smirkingchimp.com. All the left can do is smirk, make false accusations, call people names and hide behind their supposed intelligence.

The quote included the truth that the left has forgotten or is intentionally trying to destroy:
""Dumb is beautiful" runs counter to the American ethos of self-sufficiency, of taking pride in a culture of individuals that stand on their own two feet, and think for themselves. Ultimately, it replaces the individual with the mob."
Also,

Inglesita, there is no reason to debate with willhelm. Is only purpose to stir the pot, pour fuel on the fire,.... etc. He delights in it and because of that I have no problem calling hem an asshole.

He doesn't care about debate as he blocks those who challenge him with facts.

As for youself, I hope you were questioning authority the last 8 years but your observation about the title of the clip website "smirking chimp" leads me to believe you were in with the herd when the Bush Administration was destroying the constitution.

I only block kmcolo and oortcloud, and one other person I cannot remember right now. I have been using clipmarks for over 3 years and have engaged numerous left-wing thinkers. Also, I have online friendships with them on many other sites, including many leftwingers from clipmarks. I love discussing issue with anyone and everyone.

You also enjoy being a purposeful jerk. That's why some clippers have commented that they no longer visit clipmarks because you are toxic (verbatim quote).

Oh and of course their is your lying problem.

Are you trying to imply that I block you again with some sophisticated ruse? Did you pose as a spammer or put idiotcloud up to this? You are dreadful. I do not block you, BR. I admit to everyone I block. It is funny that no one but you accuses me of blocking. Well, I don't care. Your game is tiresome.

Your pretentious victomhood every time someone calls you on the carpet for the jerk that you are is what is really tiresome.

You still hold the title "rudest clipper on clipmarks" as proclaimed by the creators of clipmarks. A title I'm sure your proud to hold.

The fact that you lie constantly and hold yourself up as a Christian is something you will have to deal with your God. Sweet Dreams.

Willem, poor Bobby does not even warrant a reply. Still nothing but name-calling and personal attacks. So much for intelligent discourse. No reason to follow the comments on this clip further for me.

Oh, willhelm that was a mature, which was that 4th or 5th grade?

Inglesita, go through the comments and find the first person who started tossing out the comments on ignorance and stupidity? And then ask yourself why did this clip devolve? willhelm is the one who has taught us all about personal attacks. He should be man enough to take it.

There was a question tossed your way inglesita. Were you questioning authority during the Bush administration or were you one of the herd that bought into all the lies leading to the Iraq Invasion?

Inglestia, Willhelm the Chickenhearted is a well-known spreader of lies and propaganda on Clipmarks. His clips are an amalgam of the collective fiction supported by the Republican Party to scare and control their political base (as known as "Those Idiots!")

And Clip-On-Tie is our own living example of the result of the deliberate dumbing-down of America. It takes a real loser to denigrate the idea of intelligence. The Republican Base is the result of Intellectual Eugenics; rewarding and celebrating those people who will advance the dubious "merits" of "People of the Earth" ("You know, morons." as Gene Wilder said so accurately) over the actual merits of people who bother to educate themselv...
