Anatomy of a liberal concession

This should have been in Ann Coulter’s book. maybe it was, but I haven’t had a chance to read it yet. But if not, I’m going to submit it.

In a discussion or a debate, how do you know you have out trumped your opposition?

Well here’s a classic view of one way.

Elena, I’ve been reading your blog.

This really means that they came to the blog long enough to verify that it stands for everything they oppose in their ideology.

I can officially say you are a bat-shit crazy fundie and I make it a point to not engage with them.

Means, “I don’t have anything else so I’m at least gonna go out in a blaze of ad hominem obscenities.”

I’m tired of taking up space on Cecily’s blog.

Translation: “I need to get out this and still save face.”

Shouldn’t you be taking care of your 37 children instead of playing on the internet?

An other pot shot just for good measure. I frequently have found that when I am debating someone on the internet, they need to make a reference to spending too much time on the internet. I’m guessing this is a guilt transference thing meaning “I spend too much time on the internet so you must be too.”

Buh-bye now.

Translation: “PLEASE let me have the last word on this because I really am out of bullets!”

For fun I’m going to bookmark this one because it’s a pattern I’m all too familiar with.
