Yep, the poster was taking the ‘Li’l Abner’ approach, paroding conservatives as sub-literate, squirrel-eating morons.

The guy who runs the blog comes off as articulate, literate and open minded. The nitwit teacher comes off as a knee-jerk bonehead with a very limited capacity to make an argument.

Actually, squirrel tastes pretty good. Damn good, in fact. Like any other food, it has to be prepared properly.

Yup. If you want to use clever rhetorical devices that involve deliberate errors, you have to prove your prowess at spelling and grammer so the deliberateness is clear if you don’t want to come across as a dolt—well, unless it’s absolutely brilliant rhetoric:

“We was robbed!” stands out as a shining example of enallage, even though boxing managers are not known for good grammar.
