White House Cease & Desists to The Onion
raj2569 writes "You might have thought that the White House had enough on its plate late last month, what with its search for a new Supreme Court nominee, the continuing war in Iraq and the C.I.A. leak investigation. But it found time to add another item to its agenda - stopping The Onion (soul sucking, life sapping, irritating, obnoxious, but still free registration), the satirical newspaper, from using the presidential seal." The only joke here is that our tax dollars are being spent on this.
Hmm, the parent post is modded a troll, at least at the time of this comments creation. Obviously the mods still do not recognize satire, even when the article is about satire. Maybe if the mods read The Onion they may "get it", but then again, maybe not.
So THAT is what Bush was doing while he should have been preparing for katrina.
Snowden and Manning are heroes.
If I had mod points right now, I'd give 'em to you. Good post.
Hey Mr. Conservatard guy, what other "history corrections" would you like to give us while you're at it. Perhaps the Holocaust never happened. Perhaps George W. Bush actually served in Vietnam and won the Congressional Medal of Honor. Perhaps slavery wasn't such a bad thing after all. Perhaps America never landed a man on the moon. What other inconvenient truths might be airbrushed out or deleted with Photoshop whilst you're running around and "correcting" history. Ya know, Joe Stalin was really big on "correcting" history, and given the intellectual and moral bankruptcy of the American right it's no surprise to me that a self-identified American conservative such as yourself would be taking a page out of his book.
cheap labor conservatives - they want to keep you hungry enough to be thankful for minimum wage.
Blowing the cover of a CIA agent because you're pissed that they uncovered one of your major lies for going to war
Plame was not undercover. She was a paper-pusher. Neither she nor her husband uncovered any lies, in fact the 911 commission found that Plame was the liar.
Not that facts will do anything but piss you off...
What are you talking about? Are you really suggesting that the Onion's use of the Presidential Seal somehow confuses readers that the president or government endorse their obvious satire? They get a pass because it's satire. That it's funny has nothing to do with it. Even bad satire is protected from government suppression.
"Some West Asian pot-stirrer"? I get it - you're still insisting on spreading nonsense about Afghan riots because Newsweek printed stories about your boys' defacing korans in Guantanamo. Aren't you ashamed that even the Americans running Afghanistan dismissed that neocon media lie? Aren't you ashamed to run cover for your boys torturing people to death in the name of "American liberty"? Your whole thing could be resolved in 1 minute with a promise that you won't blather neocon gibberish in public. But I don't want that - I want you spouting these grevious examples of how you hate freedom, how you hate America, how you've got a bottomless capacity for worshipping America's worst enemies: the people you insist on voting for who are destroying us from the inside.
