NewsMax ("America's News Page") is at the Julius Streicher level
Has anyone ever seen this filth? This is the website for a rightwing rag called NewsMax. I just happened to run across a "column" in it, presented as "humor," by a guy who they claim used to write jokes for Johnny Carson. Get a load of some of this "humor" --

============

"The buzz is, Hollywood is planning a final sequel to the Edgar Rice Burroughs Ape Man series in which Tarzan visits the United Nations and gets eaten by the delegates from Africa.

The buzz is, after reading a first draft, the publisher has suggested that Bill Clinton change the title of his book to, “Excrementally Speaking.” Clinton has ordered the editor to omit all references to the fact that the Secret Service code name for him was “Motel Breath.”

The buzz is, Al Sharpton will energize his campaign by fearlessly challenging William F. Buckley Jr. to a fair debate – presumably in Ebonics.

The buzz is, residents of the area are considering changing the name of Chappaqua to Clintongrad.

The buzz is, the Vagina Monologues was written to show people that feminists could talk through something besides their hats.

The buzz is, Senator Robert Byrd has reached an age where he is urinating dust. As a result, a maid has to follow him around his house with a rag and a can of Pledge.

The buzz is, a prostitute in Arkansas who Bill Clinton patronized is now so old her pimp is required to have a degree in paleontology.

The buzz is, Tim Robbins and Susan Sarandon are not Al Qaeda sympathizers. Of course, it’s only a rumor.
....


============================
Only a very fucked up society prints filth like this & tries to pass it off as "humor." It's all here, folks - red-baiting, liberal-bashing, Clinton-hating, feminist bashing, overt racism...

a little red meat for the animals.

1. News unfit to print
Agree with your assessment. Nasty stuff. NewsMax has zero credibility, except with the Limbaugh/Hannity crowd, who buy into anything that feeds their hatreds.

2. Nice to see Dennis Miller is writing again these days
Bill Clinton. Bill Clinton. Bill Clinton. Bill Clinton. Oh my F***ing GOD these people just don't get it. The man is OUT OF OFFICE. He can NEVER run again. It's OVER.

Fucking racist scumbags. It's people like this who make you wonder if God made us in his own image, just what the fuck kind of God are we dealing with?

3. Oh, wait, I found something funny
Unintentionally. Scroll down to the list of NewsMax's top-sellers: #6 is Bernard Goldberg's Arrogance. :D
