How many Freepers will mistake my sarcasm in this LTTE for reality?
I was writing in response to a letter about Obama starting a Hitlerian civilian army designed to suppress American citizens...


STARTING IN FEBRUARY

In response to “A SAFETY ISSUE:” Don’t forget, in addition to his Hitlerlike civilian army, starting on January 21, 2009, Obama is going to put 100,000 vans on the streets under the supervision of ACORN. These vans are to be filled with guns the Obama army takes away from American citizens, by force, if necessary. Then, starting in February of 2009, William Ayers will supervise the burning down of each Christian church in the country, which will then be replaced by mosques built by Obama’s army. The children will then be taken to Education Camps, where Jeremiah Wright will teach them how to hate America, love gay marriage, praise Osama bin Laden and that white people are responsible for every problem in the world. Then, people who make more than the minimum wage will have their worldly possessions declared property of Uncle Sam, who will then redistribute it to illegal aliens. And, that is only the first 100 days. What will happen when Obama really gets started?

1. Rest assured...
the sarcasm will fly like a 757 at 40,000 feet over the heads of many of the whackjobs out there.

2. Looking at the other letters on that site, yours is the best written & most coherent -
even if its a joke (which, apparently, many of the readers will not 'get').

13. Only DUers will know it is sarcasm
And that only because all the words are spelled correctly.

4. You've probably provoked the next idiot email campaign -
anyone who thinks Obama wants to have a Hitlerian, civilian army will surely believe every word you wrote.:rofl:

8. The original letter
was from a person who was afraid because Obama said he wanted to build a civilian army, which would obviously be used in a Hitler-like fashion to suppress the people.

6. Funny
they won't get it, they don't get irony or sarcasm. This could become an astroturf letter.

:bounce:

10. Then I should have added in lines
about Michelle Obama teaching the children to say, "kill whitey" and appointing Dennis Kucinich to head up the newly formed Department of Peace, which will have authority over the Dept of Defense and the Pentagon.

11. NewJeffCY: If you keep this up,
you will soon have followers.

You are in danger of becoming a RW pundit.

You can always claim to be a comedian, like Rush Lameburg, except your stuff is actually funny.

12. I couldn't do it with a straight face, though
and I'm not angry enough, either. I'm too laid back.

14. Limbaugh makes $33 million a year...
Sometimes I'm convinced that him, Coulter, etc. can't possibly ACTUALLY believe the crap they're spewing, and that they're doing it solely for the money and the lulz.

16. Of course they're in it for the money
At least most of them are in it for that.

18. I doubt Rush has the personal integrity to believe in anything other
than more money and his own ego.

He doesn't care about anything more than that - he is very like Newt in that respect.
