It is a line I also use when people call wanting to sue their employer for firing them and keeping a buddy, when the caller believed he or she could work circles around the buddy, or some other such reason. There are specific types of employer conduct that are illegal, but stupidity is not one of them.

Have you ever considered the possibility that many who show up at these rallys do so not because they are blindly following the talking head, but because they feel that the talking head has finally addressed a concern of theirs?
The right, nor even the left, are not all lemmings.
