"It's satire is what it is," site manager Thomas Hymer told The Daily Mail. "Satire in a politically incorrect way."

Calling that satire is like calling a poop joke witty.

You can't be earnest and create satire at the same time.

If it were satire, than it would be satirizing something. This isn't doing that, so it's not satire by definition. It's just ignorant racism.

No... I'm pretty sure you're just a bunch of ignorant, hypocritical bigots.

Conservatives used to be identifiable by their leanings towards protectionist isolationism now they're only coherent trait is that they really really don't understand sarcasm.

"they're" should have been "their"

It's the standard deflection they were clearly all trained in: get caught being racist, pretend it was just a joke and you're racist for noticing the racism.

Not racist. Not satire.

How dare you hear that racist dog whistle and expose it as racism... you must be a racist!


Yeah they get so bent out of shape when we read the subtext that we weren't meant to see.

Asked about the note to half-black, half-white, seen as a reference to Obama's dual heritage of having a black father and white mother, he said: 'Isn't that the truth? 'What's wrong with the truth?'

What's the old saying about when one should stop digging?

Yup. Pretty much. Just like when someone says something racist, sexist, or homophobic and gets called on it, they were "joking". And the person who objects to it should just lighten up, because after all, you're not allowed to object to a "joke".

It's a pretty convenient way of refusing to think about what you said and why it might be problematic.

And if by "Tea Party", you mean a group of folks in Huthincson, Kansas calling themselves the Freedom Alliance, then yes.

Rev.K: Leave it to the Fark libs to mistake conservative humor and racism.

Some conservatives I know consider racism to be a large part of humor.

No to put too fine a point on it, but the president is, in fact, bi-racial. As to the "stinks" allegation, that is a matter of opnion.

This. At least these guys had the courtesy to post their crappy jokes on their geocities page instead of forwarding them via email to their grandchildren.

Skunks are just bi-racial cats.

Exactly. And when I say to a black person, "you're black," they get all upset. But it's the truth!

PC gone amok!

Yes, he's bi-racial. But why on earth is that relevant to any criticisms of him?

Cataholic: Freedom Alliance

Well, that name itself pretty much screams, "We're Teabagging douche bags!!"...
 
2011-12-12 02:02:45 PM
But they don't have skunks in Kenya...

Cataholic: And if by "Tea Party", you mean a group of folks in Huthincson, Kansas calling themselves the Freedom Alliance, then yes.

I thought there was no official "Tea Party," and that, instead, the teabaggers are supposed to be simply an conglomeration of local groups that are in no way associated with any established political party, especially not the Republican Party, no siree, not at all, totally independent, yeah, that's the ticket. Anyway, this group does in fact describe itself as "The Tea Party of Hutchison, KS" on its website .

Because People in power are Stupid: But they don't have skunks in Kenya...

But calling him a zebra would weaken the part where they call him a stinky poo-poo head.

Because socialism?

If that is the case, then the GOP field could be called "year old dog shiat" as they are mostly white, usually cemented in their positions, and are a washed out and bland version of their younger selves.
 
2011-12-12 02:10:40 PM
...I thought the problem was he didn't DO anything

He's half white, half muslim. That makes him a Mullahto.

And people on the right will call this out instead of making excuse for them, right?

*crickets*

TheDumbBlonde: No to put too fine a point on it, but the president is, in fact, bi-racial. As to the "stinks" allegation, that is a matter of opnion.

So... referring to him as a "skunk" is complementary and not at all a derogatory slur based on his racial identity?

Neato. So I guess calling you a stupid blonde coont is okey dokey. After all - you are a blond woman. Right?

I heard he smells like hot buttered rum.

It's not really racist, but there's also no real reason to mention his race at all.
 
2011-12-12 02:13:01 PM
black people are genetically inferior. that was some more tea party satire for y'all

Or is it called an Allahto?

I would have to say the Tea Party are not all racists. But they do defend the racists that are in the Tea Party and don't do much to discourage them.

Technically Obama would be a mulatto. His daughters would be griffes or sambos.

It's satire, just of the current Conservative mindset, not of Obama.

It just happens to be so spot on that Poe's law takes over.

Yeah. Since when is merely pointing out someone's color or combination thereof racist? Here's one: "Newt Gingrich is like mothballs: white and round, and doesn't do much besides stink." Is that racist?
