Yes! The Steven Cobert Report and John Stewartstinklestein use it every night. Back-to-back, if I'm not mistaken. The Right has to do a better job of attacking the Left in humorous ways because for many, the 'funny bone' is connected to the 'cool bone', which is connected to the 'vote bone'. Ann Coulter and Dennis Miller come to mind. Sadly, it may never become mainstream due to a certain media 'bias'.
You could have Barney the purple liberal dinosaur taking candy from kids that have too much and give it to kids who already get free candy while the kids all kick his spongy dumbass for being stupid. And move up from there.
You could do a parody of the Jefferson's "Moving on Up" with a black family "Moving on Down", along with most of the middle class as a result of ObamaCare, deficits, unemployment, education inflation, etc. Dave Chapell comes to mind. Maybe an episode where the main character gets a job at a solar company- like Solyndra.
How about a Sleeping-baggers vs. the Tea Baggers? OWS never had it so bad.
The Democrats wrap their pseudo moral arguments with contrived economic arguments. Those economic arguments go ‘Handing out other’s peoples money stimulates jobs’ and ‘socialized medicine costs less than privatized medicine'.
But the (real) liberal moral argument is simple :”The rich have money that others need more than them”
We see what has played out since the advent of writing used to witness human development. We have the have and the have not. Over achievers, achievers, below achievers, none achievers. Simple description for what human history has never deviated from. Nothing in God’s creation really changes.
Semmens (semi-satirically) channels Obama channeling Chavez.

Great post - as always.
Thanks for the ping.
