It has to do with the Jonestown followers and how they followed blindly and finally commited suicide by drinking poisoned (overdosed) koolaid beacuse there "leader" told them to do so.

Link

I'm sure it has other meanings, but that is how I use it. People to blind to see the truth, when the facts are in front of them, they still believe in the BS.

Yes, and it also typically indicates that someone is being told that they can't think for themselves, but that might be understood by the above explanation.

Typically the libs who watch the big 3 news outlets and blindly believe what they hear are commonly referred to as koolaid drinkers.

When political issues are being "discussed", one man's KoolAid in another man's truth.

Argh. :% That sounds like something Ray would say..

Here is another example of the do as I say not as I do Dr. Cornwell. First he says don't put words in his mouth then he says something of his own making, then tries to difuse it.
Actually, if you don't take it literally it shows how easily it is to follow along blindly as witnessed by the sign language response.

After giving the big 3 plus the Clinton news network the first two decades of my life, I finally realized they hate our country and everything it stands for.

Don't hate Fox news and Rush because their ratings beat the snot out of the liberal news crapheads you watch and listen to!

I haven't seen any bias in Fox news reporting. The only difference between Fox and the others is they label the editorial stuff as editorial stuff, while the others call the editorial stuff news. Fox reports the same stuff all the other networks do, but in addition to that they report some of the dems problems, like self admited perverted lawmakers, for example. (something I still haven't seen on MSM) Take a look Willy, Fox is more on your side than you think.

The gubbermint made those at Waco out as wackos too. Enabled all the alphabet soup agencies to kill/slaughter woman and children. I think it was Napoleon that said" the winners are the ones that write history"

Hogwash, Ray.

I have NEVER said that you mustn't say,

"Argh!:% That sounds like something Ray might say."

And I didn't say that Ray said anything.

You sound like some liberal thinking up things of which to accuse my President.:love:

OK, I quit. Your are the king of the devices. I can't hold a candle in your wind. :cool: Is that Doctorate you profess in Law?
If what you did was not putting words in my mouth then the latex amphibian could not be accused of doing so to you.
