Under a rock in the DU

Darwin Award Contender

Hawkins posted his now-annual top ten list of worst utterancesfrom the Democratic Underground, and I couldn’t help but go look.  It’s like rubbernecking adn accidents.  You know it’s not quite right, but you do it anyway.  The sampling of quotes is predictably tendentious and irritating.  Of course, you could find equal amounts of goofiness (if not bile) at a UFO convention, Evangelist Tent Rally or a Burning Man festival.  But this one just tugs at my heart:

3) seabeyond: “i refuse kentuck i just refuse. why do you think the (American) people are so dumb because they have been being dumb down consistantly alst decade especially during bush time. i refuse and tell my children i refuse to allow them to be dumb down. they had better use their brain to follow me. i have high expectation,. i will not feed into the dumbing down of america. i tell my friends, exactly i expect more out of them, i especially tell my older nieces and nephews and their friends, i will not play their dumb down game

no no no”

I’m afraid that unless his or her) fellow gene donor is a damn sight smarter, his kids have little hope but to play the dumb down game.
