Lib-Spotting 101

I watched this video on youtube because I missed Lindsey Vonn's gold medal win. This was interesting to me because she suffered a lower leg injury almost a week before she was due to compete. In spite of that injury, she went on to compete anyway and not only that but won the gold medal.

This video doesn't show the win but since I didn't know who she was, it was nice to put a face to the name. I suspected that she wasn't a Liberal because rather than tell the tale, "I was *this close* to winning 'olympic gold' but because of my leg injury, I couldn't compete", she went with trying anyway and probably due to strength of will and intestinal fortitude did it anyway. I also suspected she wasn't a Liberal because when you look at her you don't instinctively want to smack her.

That's the big difference between Liberals and the rest of us. They're awfully good at making excuses, not doing the work, and blaming everyone else for their own failures.

Lindsey Vonn is no Lib.



Here's the link to the comments: youtube

This is one comment I found to be very telling:


Nice run to win the gold! But she's a total faker with all the injury hype. She was clearly looking for an excuse if she failed. One might call it the Kerri Strug effect. (a true WARRIOR who had a REAL injury) Also, am I the only one who notices how Vonn is always fixing her hair for the cameras? Someone, please........ pie this poser. 
 
 Now, we all know that this commenter is a Lib. Here are the red flags:

1. The username is "usaisadump". Libs hate America.
2. We suspect in others what we're guilty of ourselves and this commenter thinks she's a "faker" with an excuse just in case.
3. They call some unknown a "true" warrior with a "real" injury... both lib qualifier buzzwords
4. "also, am i the only one who notices..."... they think they're smarter than everyone else.
5. The commenter advocates and recommends throwing food.
6. They not only advocate and recommend violence, they want it done by proxy. "Someone... please" [do it for me so I don't get in trouble].
7. They canna spell "poseur".

For those of you who don't know or who forgot who Kerri Strug is, here's her picture. You might remember that she's the one who ran at full speed to the pommel horse and after she stuck the landing, couldn't bear to put any weight on her ankle. She's also the one who had to be carried to the winner's podium. I mean, talk about a media whore.
