Fun talk:Really embarrassing conservatives
Teh Macaca Thing[edit]
What is teh Macaca thing? I think I was not full of win when that was a meme. Wazza (Not Wazzock, Wazza)Approach the Presence 10:05, 30 October 2008 (EDT)
- A staffer for Allen's opponent was following all his campaign stops. Allen singled him out, something like "that guy videotaping us, he's working for my opponent. Let's give a big welcome to Macaca there, or whatever your name is. Welcome to America." The staffer was born in Virginia and macaca is an old racial slur.

Duplication / Overlap[edit]
We've got Really embarrassing liberals & Really embarrassing conservatives, but also Left Wing Bastards & Right Wing Bastards. There is a difference between left/right wing & liberal/conservative, & between being "really embarrassing" & a bastard, but there still seems like quite a big thematic overlap between these lists. Should they be merged? ωεαşεζøίɗMethinks it is a Weasel 10:25, 16 February 2009 (EST)
- Well, obviously they're different definitions. But we should watch the overlap. I think they're getting a bit big, there's been a lot of adding but not much expanding or citing examples over the past few hours so we should try and cut it down to what it's supposed to be; really embarassing wingnuts/moonbats. ArmondikoVpostate 10:27, 16 February 2009 (EST)
- For now I've see-alsoed them so that they at least all link to each other. But we don't want to end up with too many similar listy articles. ωεαşεζøίɗ
Methinks it is a Weasel 10:42, 16 February 2009 (EST)
- They're really different lists - the Bastards lists seem to be celebratory, the Really Embarassing lists are those whose actions deserve condemnation in one way or another. Secret Squirrel 11:24, 16 February 2009 (EST)

Phelps[edit]
Does Phelps belong on this list, or any other list beyond just plain batshit insane? I seriuosly don't think he has the mental capacity to be conservative (or liberal, or libertarian, or....) - Ravenhull (talk) 13:43, 5 March 2010 (UTC)
Nixon[edit]
Good. Leave in the unverified claim that Nixon plotted the Watergate breakin; it's only proof positive of sloppy RW research, disregard of facts, liberal bias and cp:liberal deceit. nobsdon't bother me 23:33, 15 November 2010 (UTC)

- Good stuff Knobs! You must like RW:Fun, as it is directly comparable in terms of accuracy of statements and lack of honesty with CP:Mainspace. DeltaStarSenior SysopSpeciationspeed! 00:04, 16 November 2010 (UTC)
- Rob is correct, Nixon did not "plan" (was not "behind") the break-in. His mistake was getting involved in the cover-up. Thanks Rob, I fixed it. ħuman

- Now hold on, we don't KNOW he didn't plan it. I mean does anyone KNOW what was on that tape that was "accedently" ruined?--Thunderstruck (talk) 14:24, 17 November 2010 (UTC)
- Well, presumably Nixon did, but he's dead.

- I did note at his funeral that they buried him at the house were he was born. In other words... his native earth. He's coming back, I tells ya. Yeah, he'll be a blood-sucking monster, but except for not casting a reflection in a mirror and an extreme aversion to sunlight, will anyone be able to tell the difference? MDB (talk) 14:28, 17 November 2010 (UTC)
- It's a little known fact that Nobby Nobs has a copy of the missing 16 minutes in his copious files. Along with a video of the Kennedy assassination... shot from an angle nobody's ever seen before. --Ψ GremlinPrata! 14:33, 17 November 2010 (UTC)
- He also has the only key to the warehouse in Arizona where the moon landing was filmed. ħuman

Miscellaneous[edit]
Whatever happens with those people that not only think that George W. Bush is a blemish on Earth, but also that the USA isn't the greatest country on Earth? --RationalSpanish Sí, soy español, ¿y qué? 9:50, 10 February 2011 (UTC+1)
