This skit was certainly a polarizing event. It’s amazing how differently folks see it.
I understand the outrage at even the intimation of incest in the Palin family, but satire has to push the envelope to make its point.
How do you push the envelope on a family that has already been accused in the mainstream press of faking pregnancy, speaking in tongues, banning books, secessionist ties, genocide of native populations, destroying public property, abuse of power, lying, redneck, white trash, uneducated, etc., etc., etc?
What the left, the press, the NY Times have actually done has been so ridiculous, so feral, so psychotic, so beyond the pale of anything resembling decency and fairness ... how do you satirize what has been absurd in the extreme already? What was left to satirize was the only thing that the NY Times, et al, have not yet accused the Palin’s of.
