Reply #106: I don't get it either [View All]

How can this little comedy styling of Cindy Sheehan's cause so much angst and condemnation? Because it's not polite enough? Because someone, somewhere, might find it "offensive"? There's not a single political website I visit where this bit of rhetoric, a deliberately preposterous statement used to make a point, would cause so much as an eyeblink yet it's becoming the norm here to respond with a tremendous bout of teeth gnashing and garment rending.

Unless...perhaps while I was away from the internets for a few hours, the country has been released from the rightwing deathgrip, the bad guys have all been taken away in leg irons and our long national nighmare is finally ended? Because if that's the case, then I could see having all this energy to spend on looking for reasons to be offended.
