What I see here, more than just someone being stupid or ignorant, is someone who cannot defend the positions he presents because they are not his positions - he is merely the parrot. When challenged, he realizes on some level that he is in over his head because he has no facts to support his opinon, so he either posts a link to his sources or becomes arrogantly defensive and resorts to attacks on the person rather than on the issue.
It is impossible to have a reasoned dialogue with someone who never learned to think for himself, but is only the tool of whatever pundit or politico who makes his eyes glow that day.
