Sarcasm is repug humor

[pokerfan]

as it requires very little brain power to be sarcastic. Puns, wordplay, irony and other higher forms of humor actually require intelligence and wit. Of course, we know what happens when a repug tries to tell a joke:

"Did you hear the one about the woman who is attacked on the street by a gorilla, beaten senseless, raped repeatedly and left to die? When she finally regains consciousness and tries to speak, her doctor leans over to hear her sigh contently and to feebly ask, `Where is that marvelous ape?'" -McCain campaigning in 1986

1. I completely agree.

Your argument makes total sense, and your example is clearly sarcasm.

5. I wasn't implying that Cotton McCain's joke was sarcasm

but as an example of what happens when they stray from sarcasm, i.e. the shallow end of the humor pool.

6. pokerfan, I was not being angry at you.

I am angry at McCain for saying that crap and getting away with it. Gorsh, McCain, rape sho' is funny.... FUCK YOU McCain!

[pokerfan]

8. no prob

Any woman thinking about voting McCain needs to hear that 'joke.'

9. AGREED.

McCain knows nothing about women's rights. He does not believe that us womenfolk can make our own choices about our bodies. Talk about rape...
