I was debating with a lib who argued that Lenin was a murderer and kept talking about how 200,000 people died in the Red Terror. I responded by saying you could say the same thing about the founding fathers, after all, all those civilians wouldn't have died if some rich landowners just payed their taxes.

Anyway, how do you guys respond to liberals when they shit their pants about stuff like this?

    I have said to people I know that yeah, the Terror was problematic but overall Stalin "killed" less people than LBJ or Eisenhower, just to name two off the top off my head. At that point people just get incredulous and don't want to talk about it anymore.
