My point was why play into their stereotypes. Conservative Republicans are rightly or wrongly portrayed as humorless, uptight, uncool, unhip, puritans. Why add to this stereotype by complaining everytime one of our own jokes around? Can’t we poke fun at ourselves? Tell you what I thought wasn’t funny, but then I don’t think it was supposed to be: when Dole immediately began advertising for Viagra right after he lost the election! If that’s what Palin was poking fun at, THAT’s funny. Anyway, seems like some of us don’t get a clue sometimes.
My point is why do we give a rat’s butt about the media’s stereotypes? It’s a form of political correctness meant to stifle debate.
