Talking SHIT

Have you noticed the parties these days that support Socialism have this trick of referring to non supporters who speak out against the agenda of socialism, by saying they were talking "RHETORIC". They say it with a sneer or whine in their voice suggesting rhetoric is synonymous with "talking shit".

Watch for this, when watching the news, Obama and Co. uses this trick to discredit another that is not supporting their agenda...........A wise person knows the definition ; therefore knows they have unwittingly given praise and credibility to the same person whom they sought to discredit.

Remember the definition outlined below the next time you hear the socialites say "he was talking Rhetoric" to discount the facts outlined by one of their foes.
