Are they killing the art of satire?
Start by watching this country video and try finding out if it's real or satire.
Ok, when she starts singing about the troops "shooting" on her ass, breasts and face, you can figure out it's a satire of the Support the Troops meme. But for the first minute, until it got freaky, could you really tell? It seems today if you want to satirize wingnuts/chickenhawks/prowarjesusfreaks, you need a big red stamp that yells THIS IS SATIRE! Otherwise, how are you supposed to know?
Compare this with the videos of white supremacist Michelle Malkin (yes, she's asian, but go figure...).
Is Michelle Malkin on drugs? Probably. Is this satire? No it's not. I think at this point to believe that George W. Bush is a great president and that the USA is winning the war in Iraq, you have to be mentally ill (interestingly enough, scientific research has shown links between authoritarianism and mental illness). So maybe this is why it is getting increasingly difficult to tell the difference between satire and a genuine wingnut rant.
YOU COMMUNIST ELITE LIBERAL FAGGOT! YOU ATHEIST FUCKS REALLY WANT TO MUSLIMS TO WIN I'LL LAUGH WHEN THEY CUT OFF YOUR HEAD AND FUCK YOU IN THE ASS BACK TO SAN FRANCISCO!!!!!1111

I have two words: Ann Coulter.
I do not need to say more.
The fist video is kinda good to jack off LOL
I don't get it, what's Michelle Makin actually ranting against? Free speech? Well informed arguments? The facts?
And what kinda low-brow hick falls for propaganda like that?
She sometimes write for VDARE, a white supremacist webzine. So low-brow hick indeed.
Watching it, I couldn't help but think of "Donnie Davies"...
ok i figured quickly that the first vid is satire...but for what?
i think she wants the troops back but their is confusion as if she wants them to stay?
Milkin made little sense
I saw the music video.
Satire or no satire...
I think if any of the troops saw this...
They wouldn't want to come back at all.
BLEH!
hmm the country music video did catch me off abit until the "get'n freaky like abu-grave" line then I knew that most likely was parody, but the Michelle Malkin vid is very strange, I wonder if the people she all got sound bites from are really in favor of the crazy political views Malkin presents?
Malkin writes for a white supremacist blog called Vdare. So I'm sure there's a few loonies who agree with her.
