Onion Story Gets Blown Out of Proportion
A 3-year-old Onion video titled "Martial Law Plans Revealed?" has swept across the internet recently, and taken the gullible along with it. The video has some preaching from the highest mountain top about the evils of a government turning fascist, and an equal number explaining until red in the face what The Onion is.
Whoa, what the hell? They really were involved in an embezzlement controversy, and an internal ACORN investigation found that poor management led to bad behavior on the part of employees. Based on your statements, I'm guessing you visit nothing but left-wing blogs and so have a completely one-sided perspective of nearly everything. Frankly, I find it amusing that the left gets to experience what it's like to have allegedly edited footage portray you in a bad light after all those years of heavily edited "documentaries" like Michael Moore films and Outfoxed.
Pretty much the entire Obama era so far has been an example of the left experiencing all the things they did to the right and an administration doing all the things Bush did. The country didn't change at all.
>>>They invite it, though, with [left] wing politicians calling [Bush] a [chimpanzee], a 'secret [Nazi] or [fascist], not [properly elected] in the U.S. because he [bribed the Supreme Court and stole the election]. Talking about death panels in the [secret prison camps] and [Guantanamo Bay], etc. And that's in the [DNC] itself, not just in the [Green] Party.
Fixed that for you.
I guess you forgot about that.
Or else you endorse it.
POINT = There are idiots in both parties. The way Obama's been treated these past two years is no different than how Bush was treated the previous eight.

I'm not a fan of Obama, but choosing between him and Palin is a no-brainer. I probably would have voted for McCain if he hadn't chosen Palin as his running mate, but it would be completely irresponsible to put that woman one heart attack away from being president. Biden is an asshole, but at least he's an asshole who I believe knows how to tie his own shoes.
