Click the source and read the comments too. I laughed my butt off reading this blog.

[Mark]

No DU on FR according to Jim.

[areafiftyone]

I totally agree with you but this thread will probably be deleted because the rules are no DU on Free Republic. Don't take it personally though! Its just the rules and we all have to follow them.

[xJones]

It's a bad parody. The words have all been spell-checked and there isn't one f-word.

[prion]

THIS ISN'T FROM DU. IT'S A PARODY! Sheesh!

[joonbug]

Listen to the Dems and one would think Karl Rove is Superman. He is doing this, responsible for that, etc.

[areafiftyone]

LOL How right you are! Every sentence out of their mouths ends with a curse word!

[EllaMinnow]

It's not DU, it's satire DU. Very realistic satire at that.

[upchuck]

This isn't DU, it's a DU parody, and a damn fine one at that!!

Kudos and a big BUMP!!

[MegaSilver]

It's not DU, it's satire DU. Very realistic satire at that.

I rarely read the DU (I don't have the money to buy a new monitor if I smash mine out), but from what I've seen of it, this article is hardly satire.

[LA Conservative]

So, according to the DU rules, no one who holds conservative values is allowed, and oh yeah, no bigotry.

Orwell lives!

[Hardastarboard]

Boy, it sure does look like a DU thread, doesn't it? That's why some of our compadres were fooled (I hope).

I have gotten banned twice at DU-land.

And NEVER did I insult or personally attack anyone.

I simply would question certain arguments. And leave my opinion unsaid.

But the mods at DU are even more strict than the FR Mods. [If you can believe that!]

[11th Earl of Mar]

there isn't one f-word.

I got a thread locked over there because I dared to put "WTH" in the title. ["We cannot allow cursing at DU."]

But DUers were free to call me a "f*#king Moonie" because I posted an article from the Washington Times.

GO figure.

[jmstein7]

What does * mean?

[Professional Engineer]

I rarely read the DU (I don't have the money to buy a new monitor if I smash mine out), but from what I've seen of it, this article is hardly satire.

ROFLMAO I've looked a couple of times, but the thread structure, not to mention the content, is completely resistant to being read.

Just clicked on the link to the DUh rules, and got this:

* is what the DUmmies use in place of, or in conjunction with, Bush's name.

I don't know if it is to help them search for stories easier [Search "*"] or because they are too immature/intimidated to use George Bush's name.

BTW, YOU HAVE TO PAY THEM MONEY TO SEARCH THEIR ARCHIVES.

I guess capitalism has even reached the socialists.

[mabelkitty]

This is great - Here's on to add:

ABB - Remember - your principles are no longer necessary this election. Do not vote for anybody but John Kerry, as he is the candidate with the most money, I mean electibility.

[NYCVirago]

There are a few things missing in this parody: no mentions of Michael Moore, Al Franken, or Noam Chomsky, nobody called Bush a drunk or cokehead, and nobody accused the media of being right-wing!
