The humor just makes the horrible situation we live in politically go down a bit easier. It's tough to spread the humor around to all sides, when the facts are so one-sided regarding who is ridiculous. But they try.

I find a lot of them spin way blue, just as many pundit radio hosts spin way red. They are targeting a specific and very blue audience. Anyone attempting honest evaluation of the world has to try at least to consider the source. Anyway, as good a warm fuzzy feeling as you get from stuff spun heavily blue, imagine that someone red leaning might respond as you would to pundit radio.

How would you know? You have demonstrated that you aren't listening. Your position is one of willful ignorance.

You directly conflicted with my post, falsely, without backing up the false claims, just a few posts down. Expect rebuttal.

If you lie and refuse to defend your lies, expect rebuttal.

They aren't my favorite people either, but they have a perspective that should be understood and is part of the question. Insulting people and lying about those you disagree with without being aware of their positions or reading what they are truly saying is not productive.
