Condescension (n): 1. When the right-wing lunatic you're arguing with fails to realize how wrong he is, and, furthermore, dares to offer follow-up points. 2. When the right-wing lunatic you're arguing with fails to lose his temper or, worse sin, displays a sense of humor while stating his point of view.
Fact (n): When deployed by a leftist, irrefutable proof of whatever point you're trying to make, regardless of whether germane to the point or not. When deployed by a right-wing lunatic, undeniable evidence of the right-wing lunatic's rigidity and closed-mindedness.
