Heh - "Birth Certificate frothathon" creates new freeperism - "mute point" for "moot point." |
|
To: missnry
I admit, great article but now what? Unless this is brought to the attention of a committee, court or something then it’s a mute point. Oh, I forgot, if it’s going to a committee, court or hearing they are all radical socialists and will throw this “claim” out and call it “preposterous”. Also, then you’ll be labeled a “racist” and a radical.
Like I said, great work you did and I am convinced even without your research, but all is in vain.

2. Not to cast asparagus, but "mute point" has been around for some time |
|
I think it even predates Al Gore's invention of the Internets/

5. I learned the word "Moot" from Jessie Jackson on SNL in the 80's |
|
"The question is moot! I'm in charge, I'm the host, I get the car."
I guess the Freeps missed that episode.

9. Hmmm. Rambling and disconnected |

syntax with an awkwardly placed 'also'...
Gee, could it be that Ms. Palin hangs out in Freeperville?

11. "Mute point" - a point that really shouldn't be spoken. |

13. We've seen this one before. This is the sort of mistake ... |
|
... that is extremely common among people who don't read.

14. Wouldn't a "mute point" be one that would finally shut these a*holes up? |

17. My otherwise well-spoken and Democratic husband |
|
always says "mute point" when he means "moot point". As a legal assistant, it drives me bonkers. I've tried for 10 years to get him to say "moot" and it ain't happening.
