I love Scrappleface, I subscribe to their emails, but I don't think it should be posted in FR without a mandatory - "this is not a real post, it is satire, it is funny, it is NOT presented as fact or entrapment" alert.

Some people actually respond to an 'article' before realizing it is humor - and we look, well, not good.

Yeah but, on the other hand, we do get to laugh at them. :=) I'm not sure how bad it really makes us look anyway. Satire has been suckering people in for ages.

It is very difficult to satirize liberals. No matter how unbelievable the satire, liberals will out do it by their actual words and deeds.

Actually, when something like this is mistaken for a serious article 'we' don't look bad at all -- it's just a reminder that the shameless vicious Demagogues are so demented that they're almost beyond satire. Scrappleface and The Onion have trouble because almost any extreme of the Demagogues could be satire, could be reality, often it's hard to know.....
