But just watch, ...it will soon be edited and show up in anti-Obama emails around the world. They may have meant well but I think they were fucktards for publishing it.

I don't think anyone could have "meant well." Burning the flag in the fireplace? If their point was to prove the idiocy of fearmongering in politics, then they proved themselves idiots for participating. I undertand parody. This wasn't it.

I don't think so . . .

well i do....

[voting down an opinion, what an abuse of the up-n-down point system]

The republicans were pissed because it was making fun of them, the democrats were pissed because they didn't get it.

All the Dems I spoke to got it. They just thought it was a badly done piece of satire.

It doesn't work on so many levels it is breathtaking.

A great summation!!! "The problem is the magazine misunderestimates the stupidy and/or malice of a great chunk of the populace who are passing those emails in the first place. Many will see that as confirmation of their beliefs."

You hit the nail on the fk'n head! :)

I agree, and that copy will set record sales..
