    Brendan isn't a wordforger. He's Ted Cruz. Or gturner. Or a shitstain on baba's lips. Who can tell the difference?

    It's also a hoax. Robert made the whole thing up.

    Somehow the media reported that!

    The story

    Clever prankster fools thousands of people after creating a fake Facebook feud between a 'moron' conservative and a 'witty' liberal troll to poke fun at political tensions
    • A user named 'Robert Graves' relentlessly baited his ultra-conservative friend, 'Brendan Sullivan', by repeatedly mocking his offensive posts
    • Their fake exchanges caused a stir on the internet because nearly everyone can relate to having an ignorant Facebook friend like 'Brendan'
    • The prankster came clean about the hoax today, saying he fabricated it to make fun of the political firestorm between liberals and conservatives

    Partisan debates strawman? This is not really news.

    But just like the thing with Palin seeing Russia from her house, I bet loads of idiots will use it as 'evidence' that the other side is idiotic.

    I think it's just pathetic. Guy probably couldn't hold his own against a real argument.

    I called it. It really did look forced from the beginning and not three dimensional.
