Most foolish/ignorant thing you've heard from a non-DUer liberal friend?
I had two in the past 24 hours. From the Times-reading, NPR-listening one: "What's Sinclair?" From someone who will remain nameless, or she'll kill me: "So what's happening Wednesday night?" Hey, maybe we're a little smug sometimes about being on top of the news BEFORE it's the news, but we ought to pat ourselves on the back a little, too.

Ok, Whatchagot?

7. "We are all Keynesians now."
No, not remotely, he just had to modulate his rhetoric because he KNEW he was in the minority party. Republicans today know too, of course, they just think they can disenfranchise enough potential Democratic voters to fake their way through. Hopefully we prove them wrong.

8. "Saddam had nukes."
I heard this from my brother's partner last Thanksgiving. I politely disagreed, but in keeping with the holiday spirit, I didn't start any shit.

Now, this came from a guy who is educated, bright, and open-minded but not politically active.

My wife and I visited my bro and partner last June, and he was singing a very negative tune about *, so I know that the message has gotten through.

9. I don't understand what happened to those kids in Russia
What the f**k did the Russians ever do to the Czechoslovakians that made them so mad?

This actually wasn't a liberal, but a school teacher at a vocational school.

He's smarter than the average American, that's what's so frightening.

11. "All southerners are stupid Bible humping Bush-supporting morons."
This coming from a liberal friend I know at school...and I overheard it, and being from Virginia, I was pissed. Even my "redneck" relatives...I'd say about 90% of them vote Democratic.
