Another Republican Wanders By, And Does Us The Favor Of Providing A Teachable Moment.

Republicans use a variety of tactics to cover for the fact that they are always wrong. Always wrong, yet somehow always more than eager to argue. Volume is one of their favorites. Maybe it's because they're hard of hearing. That would explain why they seem to just not understand a lot of things. I would like to see some sort of study corrolating the voting patterns of people with the percentage of hearing loss they may be suffering. 

That can't be the problem with this commenter though, who stopped by to use a very common Republican argument tactic:

You described Medicaid as a clusterfuck, yet think that somehow, MAGICALLY when EVERYONE has insurance through the gov't everything will be BETTER?

Notice how he tries to make up for the fact he can't shout on the internet by using more caps? Damn, what is it with Republicans and volume?

Not to mention I never described Medicaid as a clusterfuck. The tactic he's trying to use here is taking what you said,  changing it to something that kinda sounds like what you said, and then trying to pin those changed words on you. They do it a lot. Pretty much every night on the O'Reilly factor actually. 

What our friend here seems to forget is that while this may work when you're on the O'Reilly factor trying to run out the clock until the next commercial break, when you're in a place with written words, what you actually said sticks around, and can easily be re-posted. Here are the words I wrote that stuck the burr up our friends ass:

I have a feeling that fact will do a lot more to get us a solution to this problem than the fact Monique literally got screwed to death by the clusterfuck we call a health care system here.

A basic sentence diagram will show what I was calling a "clusterfuck" is what "we call a health care system here" The "healthcare system" where a person can be on Medicaid one month, a half-ass employer based plan with a $5000 deductable the next, and nothing at all the month after that. As a matter of fact, the whole point of that passage was that the person who died would have probably lived had she been able to keep her Medicaid coverage. It's pretty clear to anyone with basic reading comprehension skills thats what I was saying. If you're gonna try to argue with me, you're gonna have to do it using the points I'm actually making you dumb buttfuck. 

Do you understand it's you I called the dumb buttfuck and not the so-called health care system we have in this country? If so you're making progress. 

But wait, there's more:

Where have you been living?

Where have I been living? In the one civilized country that doesn't ensure it's citizens have healthcare coverage. The same country with healthcare outcomes inferior to its peers. The same country that pays almost twice as much for those inferior outcomes as anyone else. Again, that was kinda the whole point of the post you were responding to.

Always wrong, yet somehow always more than willing to argue. I don't understand it. Kinda the way this commenter didn't understand a word of what they read.
