Enraged that President Obama Secretary of State John Kerry continue to maintain that the Islamic State is not Islamic, ISIS spokesman Abu Muhammad al-Adnani called upon Muslims around the world to randomly select and slay disbelievers.

Semmens is, as always, on his "A" game.

Another fine (and scary) column John.

(Repeating above comment and complement to include "Admin Moderator" as a special courtesy .)

Apparently that line was added by a moderator.

John Semmens is an FR institution. His posts don't require warning labels in addition to the "semi-news, semi-satire" notice that he always inserts.

If the moderator can’t understand that “satire” does not equal “fake” then that moderator lacks the intellect to do his job properly. The history of satire goes deep in the English literature tradition.

I agree. What irks me is the people who complain when they don't get it.

They remind me of Libs who don't want anybody hearing what they don't like!

John, yours is among the best satire out there. I can’t tell you how many times I read through an article and then double back to make sure it isn’t written by you! Sadly most of the time it isn’t, which is a testament to how brilliant your writing is. You capture their tone perfectly, mocking them completely.

I guess some folk don’t appreciate being fooled, but yours is an art form rarely done well and I for one appreciate it. Keep up the good work.

Yes. They remind me of the leftists who simply cannot understand Rush Limbaugh's humor. They assume that all of Rush's comments are serious.

Satire is a powerful political weapon. Our side needs more of it.
