How about just suspending/deleting them? Or setting a half-hour aside to just rewrite those cards to make them much easier? (shorter answers, cues in the question, cloze deletion, break them into several cards...)
They tended to be cards whose answers were either date ranges in periods of history I'm not familiar with, or in languages I don't have significant exposure to. Essentially material I didn't have any kind of infrastructure to pin the facts on.
Generally, though, if I'd go and read up on the area to develop that infrastructure, I wouldn't need Anki.
