Congratulations John ... you’ve moved up to the level where people have to post warnings for the protection of the slower ones among us.
Satire!!
Satire!!!
Original link was removed from a reputable source when they quickly learned it was satire. Please remove from FR or indicate it is satire!!!!!!!!
Right... next you’re gonna claim Scrappleface is too.
I ain’t buyin’ it.
About a month ago, a local letter-to-the-editor actually quoted from a Semmens article to attack Obama. That writer was rightly castigated by the left for lying. It’s always a danger.
I think this morning we got a double-dose because some of the satirical pieces are now showing up on Redstate, and people are posting it from there — making it less obvious it’s from the non-news source that we all know and love by the name of “azconservative”.
(Actually, I've never said it before.)
(And good work, John. You're getting noticed.)
What you - the poster - seem to have missed, is that John Semmems’ satire cuts closer to the truth than does the New York Times, Washington Post or LA Times....
The reason some folks take his satire for truth - is that he has caught the “essence” of the target - and exposed it to a glaring light of exposure...
Reading the AZ Conservative - will in fact convey to the busy reader MORE of the REALITY of the situation WITHOUT the actual facts, than most other publications......
True - it is satire, filled with false information - but also filled with the meat of “truth” very close to the bone.
John is a treasure and I look forward to his blistering comments.
It is getting harder to good satire because the truth is some times beyond belief. I understand your concern because I had a friend that voted conservative but would fall for even conspiracy that came a long.
Would you call “lesser_satan” satire ?
Hate to break it to you, but "the source" doesn't mean a damn thing to 99.99% of Americans. There's an incredibly thin line between satire and reality already. John Semmens, not his readers, should take responsibility if people mistake his meaning. The "it's just satire" line is as lame as an Al Franken punchline.
