I will enlighten you: I was demonstrating absurdity by being absurd. It’s a technique of communication that can be quite effective and I am quite sure the poster I addressed it to - who is in agreement - caught the joke. Sorry you did not. And clearly, you did not. That is typical of the folks who are being tweaked by the sarcastic absurdity.

It is stunning, really stunning, that you thought I was speaking literally. Sheesh.

I just went back and reviewed the entire line of posts to see the origin, etc., in case I really did misread you.

We are on the same page RE Bachmann. My reading comprehension is just fine. You emotionally and hot-headedly slammed Bachmann supporters for being emotional and hot-headed. You did it by accusing them of being absurd by leveling absurd things against them! {^) Very effective communication technique (NOT! Like Rush warns, Don't Try This at Home). I remain convinced that at the bottom, you're capable of being as irrational and hot-headed in your attacks on Bachmann supporters as you say the Bachmann supporters are in defense of Bachmann.

Just an observation, that's all. I did my due diligence and am relieved to see that indeed, my reading comprehension is just fine. :^)
