[CousinIT]

THIS is the smarmy little bellowing mouthpiece who also claims that "millions voted illegally" in the US in 2016. . .

3. pseudo intellectual

like Bannon.

They think they are smart, they try to impress people with "contrarian opinions" which are sourced from questionable research (or just pulled our of their ass). They have just enough obscure citations and knowledge of history to "sound intelligent" but they are always wrong on the facts, wrong on the history, wrong on the law.

4. And well-spoken/outspoken. Both speak & interact well w/ media and crowds. Literate IDIOTS.

Makes people THINK they are intelligent or know something because they write and speak well.

Truth is, they're spouting a lot of well-versed propaganda, misinformation, and promoting a lot of ignorance as a pretense for enacting extremist policies - to get people to support laws, rules and policies which are against their best interests.

I'm not sure why the damn media can't ask smarmy little weasels like him exactly HOW MUCH "voter fraud" (ie: people voting under false names or identities) have actually resulted from messed-up or out of date voter registration roles. Because the answer is: DAMN few.

They conflate messed up voter registration roles (deceased people still on them, etc) with ACTUAL "voter fraud" -- when the latter is rare enough to be statistically non-existent. I can SAY this, why couldn't George Stephanopolous? (though he did say Miller had no proof - because he DOESN'T - because there IS NONE).

But media leaves them to spew their ridiculous bullshit time and time again.

Media Matters has a great article on this: http://mediamatters.org/research/2016/10/21/right-wing-media-figures-conflate-voter-fraud-voter-registration-inaccuracies/214037

5. Millions are smoking illegally--voting not so much.

6. I encourage him to smoke heavily

I hear that it's even better when you drink heavily at the same time. He should do both.

7. Tell it to my father-in-law

Who died from bladder cancer years after he stopped smoking. That's probably one of those "smoking-related deaths are defined as anything that kills smokers at a higher rate than non-smokers, even if negligibly so." Even though the link between smoking and bladder cancer is well-documented, and does not decrease over time after quitting.

8. He should smoke several packs a day then

And not use any of them sissy assed filters

9. Good find, CousinIT! Dude gets off on being "controversial" and hates people?

[Dulcinea]

10. I'm sure he got stuffed in his locker regularly in high school.

Girls probably laughed at him, & now he's getting back at all the cool kids. What a loser.
