Oh Noes!

It used to be, the only people who dared mock the Obamassiah were "right-wing, Bible-thumping, racist talk show hosts."
So, has The Onion been taken over by "right-wing, Bible-thumping, racist talk show hosts?" Or, is his weakness now so plainly obvious that there's no point in even supportive media outlets ignoring it? Granted, The Onion's about six months behind the curve in mocking the Obamassiah's helplessness without a Teleprompter, but the first step is admitting you have a problem.

All rational people understand that The Onion is just the propaganda arm of the Republican Party.

The Onion is supposed to be an example of a "supportive media outlet"??
Sorry to burst your bubble Yardale but I find it fun to laugh at our Presidents. The Onion has not been taken over, they've been doing satire all along.
For example, how about immediately after the Presidential election?
Since this clip mercilessly mocks Obama supporters I'm sure you will love it. Guess what? Just like the teleprompter bit, I think this clip is funny too.

And even more funny when you highjack my name JUST BEFORE I make a comment. Too funny!

Since this clip mercilessly mocks Obama supporters
But not the Obamassiah himself.

What's even more funny is when someone actually takes the time to type out "rolls eyes" to express their snarkiness. Hilarious.

Did Yardale also express snarkiness?
Yardale could have gone to YouTube or the Onion website and looked in their archives just like I did. He tried to make a point that the Onion has been in the tank for Obama. Wrong.
The Onion was mocking Obama before he was elected.

Ugh. Right wing Paul here to remind those who don't know and don't go there that The Onion is the best satire on the net and goes after EVERYONE.

Maybe you missed the part where every outlet and pundit that dared to question the president was accused of racism, bigotry, or right-wing extremism by unhinged liberals.
You guys put forward the false dichotomy that one either loves Obama, or one is a despicable bigoted wingnut.
Your kind has even gone so far as to accuse anyone who disagrees with a public health care option of racism against blacks.
If you moonbats weren't crying about racism and bigotry where none exists, then mainstream America might take your media criticism at least somewhat seriously.

Here we go:
MSNBC moonbat whines that " 'socialist' is becoming the new n-word"
...and radical libs wonder why only other radical libs take them seriously.
Posted by: Anonymous Countermoonbat at November 18, 2009 5:17 PM
Yes, I did miss that part.
Since I've proven that the Onion has been mocking Obama since before he was elected how about you find some proof that "unhinged liberals" accused the Onion of "racism, bigotry, or right-wing extremism".

If The Onion has always been so hard on Obama, why are they just now making the same Teleprompter jokes the right has been telling for eight months?

Well sure. But he didn't do it by actually typing in "rolling eyes," or another popular one, "sigh."
That's the kind of thing that teenagers do.

I think Lao is pissy because Gregory is ignoring him.
