How to Deal With Republican Bullies - A BuzzFlash Reader Commentary


How does one handle a schoolyard bully? You confront them.

At every turn. You keep talking when they interrupt you. You call out *every single* factual error into the light the second it falls from their lips. You refuse to be intimidated -- what are they going to do? Talk louder? Every time they try to use "liberal" as a pejorative term, you correct them with "Proud Liberal." Every time they use the term "President" you correct them with "Unelected President." Every time they use the word " conservative" you correct them with "Republican Ideologue." Every time they use the term "liberal press", correct their error with "Corporate Controlled Media." A fun one: when they use the infantile term "democrat party" or similar, tell them that is grammatically incorrect to use a noun as an adjective, and that the correct term is "democratic."

And more on BuzzFlash.
