One of the Left’s major weapons used prolifically against us is cynical humor, condescension, as well mockery.
It is well known that humor is, and the Left proves it all too often a weapon in the ideological wars between the Left, and the Right.
Your talent IMO in the field of mockery, of satire be it humorous, or of serious, and penetrating purpose are needed more today than ever before John. We (Mrs. RQSR, and myself) applaud your efforts, and hope to see many more such excellent pieces penned at your hand in the future.
Thanks for the ping, and please keep up the excellent work.
Yes! The Steven Cobert Report and John Stewartstinklestein use it every night. Back-to-back, if I'm not mistaken. The Right has to do a better job of attacking the Left in humorous ways because for many, the 'funny bone' is connected to the 'cool bone', which is connected to the 'vote bone'. Ann Coulter and Dennis Miller come to mind. Sadly, it may never become mainstream due to a certain media 'bias'.
You could have Barney the purple liberal dinosaur taking candy from kids that have too much and give it to kids who already get free candy while the kids all kick his spongy dumbass for being stupid. And move up from there.
You could do a parody of the Jefferson's "Moving on Up" with a black family "Moving on Down", along with most of the middle class as a result of ObamaCare, deficits, unemployment, education inflation, etc. Dave Chapell comes to mind. Maybe an episode where the main character gets a job at a solar company- like Solyndra.
How about a Sleeping-baggers vs. the Tea Baggers? OWS never had it so bad.
