I don't think it's reading comprehension, per se. I think that many people are simply satire challenged.

The problem with satire with the rats, unless it is clearly marked satire at the top, middle and bottom, what was said or printed could be true.

If last week, one had published that Durbin compared Gitmo to the Nazis as satire, then Durbin said what he did this week, where did the satire stop?

And the dims either support, or abstain from comment (like hitlary).

He(and all demnocrats) should be made to live with this for a couple of weeks..
The democrats do this ALL the time.. any percieved slight is magnified out of all proportion for weeks.. Actual moonbat droppings like this.. SHOULD have an "afterlife"... a hardy and humorous after life.. All republicans should reference this in all conversations, a little, else "they" will not "rue the day"..

On the other hand, "they", might stop it with the silly stuff... that would be BAD.. better they make fools of themselves.. like they are..
Nevermind..

I think the most effective way is to email his contributers:

Hurt him where it counts!

It's because these people are becoming ever more difficult to satirize. It reminds me of this old Al Gore thread, based on another post of an article by the same author.

You're right. That old thread is still very funny, thanks for the memories!
