Why not add a little humor to all the craziness out there? Thank You Onion!

1. Too funny. It's seems so much like the racist apologists who do
actually hate and do work to hurt blacks and jews.In some strange world they can deny their motive yet do the harmful acts. It's surreal.

2. There seem to be some real whackjobs crawing out of the woodwork now
I'd like to see his original video just for the humor factor. And he said that he chose a crossbow? Second strange video I've seen on DU today.

:wtf:

3. "I'd like to see his original video"

Umm... I don't know how to break this to you.

The "news video" is from the Onion - it is a satire piece.

6. I didn't even realize
I think I'm going to crawl into a corner and curl up now for being so stupid in saying that. Sometimes I don't recognize Onion stuff, since news these days can sometimes be just as strange as fiction. My bad. :(

:cry:

7. They do make some great stuff, don't they?

First time I saw an Onion video piece, I got sucked right in.

That's what makes it good.

4. I agree with you, crossbow was a bad choice.

8. Calm down, its satire...
I got halfway through the video before I realized it... but I blame that on the crazy times we live in.

5. Win a date for your eighteen yr old daughter.
Didn't Matt Lauer do that too?

9. Man...the more non-racial he made his actions the more racist they seemed.
