“Do not argue with an idiot they drag you down to their level and beat you with experience.”
― Mark Twain
What is an idiot?
An idiot, dolt, or dullard is a mentally deficient person, or someone who acts in a self-defeating or significantly counterproductive way.
Example number 1: "Former Vice President Dick Cheney is in the news. Cheney has signed a publishing deal to write his memoirs. I don't want to spoil anything, but it ends with him killing Obi-Wan Kenobi."
Example number 2: "Newt Gingrich has a new campaign slogan: 'Now hiring!' Sixteen of Gingrich's top staff quit last week, and today, two of his top fundraisers quit. He's not even president and he's already raising the unemployment rate."
Example number 3: "'Sarah Palin is joining Fox News. The new slogan is 'hair and unbalanced."
The best example: " ''I find it interesting that it was back in the 1970s that the swine flu broke out under another, then under another Democrat president, Jimmy Carter. I'm not blaming this on President Obama, I just think it's an interesting coincidence.'' —Rep. Michele Bachmann , on the 1976 Swine Flu outbreak that happened when Gerald Ford was president, April 28, 2009"
Republicans are not idiots. Republicans named themselves Republicans because the word "idiot" was already occupied.
