No vic, you were right the first time, we don’t ‘do irony’ in America. That was *satire*….

Are you sure it’s not satire. I mean it is just so cleverly written…you know? Like it’s too crazy to have been written by a crazy person. I guess I flatter myself and all other “progressives” by imagining that anyone with enough brains to write an essay that amusingly uses a scene from O’Connor as an allegory for the Obama administration is someone too smart to be a republican…but it just doesn’t smell right to me.
BTW the best comment on his blog is the kind words of advice from a fellow survivalist gardener about the inconsistency of tomato crops.

I’m seriously confused, now, about what kind of site I’ve logged onto. I mean, I’m from Australia -until recently, the only nation apart from the US that hadn’t signed and ratified Kyoto- and Oz is the home of irony. But I’ve been brought up to believe Americans ‘don’t do irony’. But please, someone, tell me: that whole Sarah Palin ‘thaing’ in the video, the lyrics and stuff -they were ironic, yeah?

Wingnuts deride Obama as the candidate of the International Zionist Conspiracy (substituting “Islamo-fascist” for “Zionist” as needed) and then say that it just ain’t kosher for Jews to vote for Obama ’cause he’s the one that is supposed to be “bad for the Jews”?

That’s pure win right there …

so apparently the gay fantasy guy was “being satirical.”

Yes, of course. One constant of wingnuts is that, whenever they get caught saying something utterly stupid, they say it is a “satire”. In Wingnuttia, a perfeectly valid use of the word “satire” is “saying exactly what I mean in a funny voice.”

Why is it that no wingnut can possibly imagine acsending to power and then not using said power to attempt to crush one’s opponents?

Jews voting for the candidate endorsed by Iran, Hamas, Farakhan, and Khalidi should be a wake up signal that something is not Kosher

A vote for Obama is like meat touching your cheese!
