Strawman

[Gipper]

We need a thread where we can post the daily strawman argument tactics used by leftists. And my buddy POS should be a regular poster...

This from Tom Dilorenzo is very well said about BO's ridiculous..."you didn't build that" comment...

Barack Obama recently proved once again that he is indeed a Proud Marxist (as Yuri Maltsev, former advisor to Mikhail Gorbachev, calls him) when he argued that successful American entrepreneurs "didn’t build" their businesses on their own. Government bureaucrats were mostly responsible for their success, the Marxist in the White House asserted, citing government-run schools, roads, etc. Like all Marxists, Barack Obama is belligerently ignorant of economics and is in denial of much of economic reality.
No successful business person believes that he built his business completely on his own, without help from anyone. Obama’s claim is a straw-man argument. Every business person collaborates day in and day out with suppliers, customers, employees, managers, accountants, marketers, bankers, investors, and many others.

and this....

In short, Barack Obama’s ignorant "you didn’t build it" remark did two things: First, it displayed remarkable economic ignorance; and second, it asserted exactly the opposite of the truth with regard to the role of government in the economy. In today’s world American businesses that are successful in the marketplace have become so despite government intervention, not because of it.

They KNOW their base IS stupid. Why else would they make outrageous, spurious, and ludicrous accusations against Rs, which are easily disproved?
Anyone who would believe the crap BO, Biden, other Ds, and their communications department (MSM) spout, has to be an idiot.

The dumbing down of America by the liberal controlled g-schools has been most effective.
