So my brainwashed conservative "friend" sent me a resurfaced email chain from right-wing nutters that talks about "rattlesnake logic." It tells of a supposed Texan who says he kills rattlesnakes by the front door, by the back door, by the fence, and wherever else he can find them because he knows rattlesnakes are poisonous and will bite and kill you. The implication is that's what should happen to the Palestinians and Muslims because they're "like rattlesnakes."

I start laughing at him (admittedly I should be screaming, but that's what he wants), and I tell him, "alright, let's kill us some rattlesnakes," and send him the Gadsen flag that the right-wing nutters love so much - the one where they envision themselves as rattlesnakes and say "Don't tread on me."

Then I tell him, "You dumbass, every REAL Texan knows rattlesnakes don't attack unless provoked."
