Abortionplex was a particularly slow-selling Transformer

Well, it was cheaper than election ads and it locked up his re-election to another term.

Louisiana: that's not just roadkill, that's dinner!

Republican? Shocking.

I hope Colbert has him on. I wonder how long it will take him to figure Colbert out.

It was the only one that doesn't come with an additional little transformer.

Poe's law can't even begin to describe the absurdity of the derpicane that is poised to hit America this year.

An intern or some other lackey probably has control of his FB page and likely posted it. that being said, if you're dumb enough to hire people who are that dumb, then you, sir, are a moron unfit for office.

They're so wrapped up in their narrative, it's hard for them to distinguish fantasy from reality.

I'm sure he already thinks Colbert is a double super secret Conservative infiltration operative.

Funny, but this is still my favorite:

On June 7, 2002, Reuters reported that the Beijing Evening News republished, in the international news page of its June 3 edition, translated portions of the article "Congress Threatens To Leave D.C. Unless New Capitol Is Built".[56] The story discusses the U.S. Congress's threats to leave Washington for Memphis, Tennessee; Charlotte, North Carolina; or even Toronto, Canada unless Washington, D.C. built them a new Capitol building with a retractable dome. The article is a parody of U.S. sports franchises' threats to leave their home city unless new stadiums are built for them.[57] Evening News initially stood by the story, demanding proof of its falsehood. It later retracted the article, responding that "some small American newspapers frequently fabricate offbeat news to trick people into noticing them with the aim of making money."[58]

Poopspasm: Poe's law can't even begin to describe the absurdity of the derpicane that is poised to hit America this year.

My favorite example of Poe's law so far was a Fark thread where a poster told another to stop trolling, when the original poster just directly quoted a missive from Newt Gingrich.

I think I'm gonna start fwd:fwd:fwd:fwd'ing onion articles through a few made up addresses and end it with the last fwd to various politicians asking why they don't stand up to things like abortionplexes.

The Goobers and Gomers will reelect this retard.

It's a proud southern tradition.

That's a months-old Onion article, too. I lol'd in some dark, depressing way

This seems to happen once a year. Does the world not know the Onion is parody?

Spoon over Marin: Several people voted for this guy.

Those same people (and probably more) probably also thought it was real news.

WTH is it that it's almost always Republicans that fall for this?

The Onion's editor, Joe Randazzo, said the publication is proud to count Fleming as a reader.

"We're delighted to hear that Rep. Fleming is a regular reader of America's Finest News Source and doesn't bother himself with The New York Times, Washington Post, the mediums of television and radio, or any other lesser journalism outlets," he said in a statement.

I had a seminar class once where we had a lot of leeway as to how we made our presentations. Me, and one other guy in the class, did everything very sarcastically and everything was a parody, even if it was a serious subject. Most of the class didn't understand where we were coming from. (And this was grad school, mind you.) One day he came up to me and said, "People just don't get satire." And they really didn't. But we had a hell of a good time in that class, and I bet I don't have to mention that he was the coolest person in the class.

Yep. I'll give you a recent one from my inlaws. The quote was 'pro-Second Amendment' enough without the revisionist Bircher add-on.

Heh. Since we don't know his intent, we're allowed to just make shiat up and claim he said it.

You can't even get a breast cancer screening or vitamins at Planned Parenthood unless you get an abortion. I heard they make you pregnant just so they can make you have an abortion. I know this is true because somebody heard it from their pastor, and that's why my congressman is starting an investigation.

Maybe you should have fought Washington with Washington: "As Mankind becomes more liberal, they will be more apt to allow that all those who conduct themselves as worthy members of the community are equally entitled to the protections of civil government. I hope ever to see America among the foremost nations of justice and liberality."

And they have quotas to meet. They don't get government funding from liberals unless they have so-many abortions a month. They cruise maternity stores just to find women to talk into it.

I agree but you left out the important part.

Americans are not good people. The slaughter of Iraq is probably the best evidence of this.

They recently re-linked it on FB in reference to the regulation requiring all employers' insurance plans to cover birth control.

The derp squad of Farkers were saying that all the other things PP does was just to get people in the door for abortions. So it's not far off from what many think.
