I can appreciate satire as much as the next guy, but this edges pretty close to outright deception. The way it’s written, it’s as though Bloomberg truly said these things; some people will believe he said them, and pass them on as having truly been said. Then it’ll come back to bite us — “conservatives lie about liberals.”

Seriously, it should be VERY clear when you’re being satirical. The fact that so many didn’t see this as satire means that your intention isn’t making its way to your final product. And that can be dangerous for the side who affirms truth.

Again, satire is fine. This is dangerously close to Michael Moore-ish lies.

The genius of Gutfelt’s ploy is that I still laugh every time I hear about it. Too clever!

Instant classic, enjoyed it.

I propose it* be named..."The Battle of Tours Lounge & Tap Room"
Or maybe "The Battle of Vienna Bar"
or the "Battle of Toulouse Tap Room"
Those have a nice historical basis...;)

Durn...I totally understand why you put the word “satire” in your header, but I was so hoping to read some clueless replies first. ;o)

Regarding Gutfeld’s bar..........I prefer the name “Outfidels”. For outreach purposes, it’s the obvious name. ;o)
