Any good counters to this "joke"?

Asked by longgone (19539points) February 26th, 2016

A friend of a friend posted this on Facebook. I want to respond. Any ideas on what to say? I have plenty, but I don’t want to post an essay… I’d like something concise, smart, maybe a little venomous. So, naturally, I’m asking for some jelly support.

Posted recently? It has a 2009 date on it.

I don’t consider it a joke at all (as your horror quotes imply) and would not credit it with a reply.

^ Yes, it was posted recently, and no, it definitely is not a joke.

Did you know that if you rearrange the letters in ‘go home you free-loading, benefit-grabbing, kid-producing, violent, non-English speaking assholes and take those other hairy-faced, sandal-wearing, bomb-making, goat-loving, raggedy ass bastards with you.’ they cancel each other out leaving just WTF.

Whoa!

Well..it’s a lot easier to deport an illegal immigrant than it is to change a shitty personality like yours.

Did you know that contained within the name Darth Tolkien are all the letters needed to spell Dark Hearted Dolt? Also Rat and Toad haha

Did you know that if you rearrange the words in “racist” they spell “Welcome to the block list, fuckstain?”

Did you know that if you take Racist SOB, and move him to a deserted island, you get a happier neighborhood?

Is your friend who posted this Europeanb

How about posting, “Did you know you sound exactly like Donald Trump?”

That should get them.

Do you know how the rest of the world spells “go home you free-loading, benefit-grabbing, kid-producing, violent, non-English speaking assholes and take those other hairy-faced, sandal-wearing, bomb-making, goat-loving, raggedy ass bastards with you.” ?

B-I-G-O-T!

Before unfriending him. I’d say: “Did you know you have some serious issues? You racist pile of trash!”

The best way to hurt people seeking attention is to give them none.

Or you could get them to view a image that only they would see and look at your apache logs and then find their IP and then wreck their internet connection.

This is a friend of a friend, but not someone you actually have any contact with? Don’t get involved.

If what you want is to communicate to your friend that s/he shouldn’t be friends with that person, then tell your friend that. If you don’t think you should, then there’s your answer.

Don’t resort to posting on the friend-of-a-friend’s wall in order to passive-aggressively send a message to the person you actually know.

Palindrome.
Anagram.
Fuck off outta here you stereotyping, racist, islamophobic, unreasonable, sister-fucking, baccy chawin, illiterate, pidgin English speaking, peaked in highschool fucktard ex- friend and take your loser, empty headed, battered, highschool dropout wife and pack of snot nosed brats with you.

Friend of a friend? @johnpowell & @dappled_leaves make good points.

Still, here’s my attempt at “concise, smart, and maybe a little venomous”:
“Yes, I knew palindromes were a thing. And anagrams. But I had somehow deluded myself into thinking my fellow humans were intelligent, informed, compassionate, and self-aware. Thank you for reminding me there are still some horribly ignorant bigots trying to blame their own inadequacies and vexations on others. I somehow thought we were moving past this sort of crap. My mistake.”

You could also start posting links to articles, and writing your own posts, discussing the issues in intelligent ways—just “coincidentally.” Demonstrating just how ridiculous this friend-of-a-friend is without directly engaging him…
