View original postI was going to say you can be such an ass sometimes but these last couple years it seems like anything even vaguely hinging on politics are those times.


View original postHell, there are exactly three scenarios here, either it never even stopped to cross your mind that those of us on the right would not find it humorous, or it did and you didn't care, or you are so totally deranged that you thought we would.


View original postThat is only wrong when I do it, or am assumed to have done it. Note: Not playing the "being offended is offensive" game; more tired than anything.

You'd probably be less tired if you removed the distress of us catcalling you and just edited the post to say "Warning: This is political humor aimed at the American right" and apologized to those of us who got it slapped in our face under the implication it was one or two humorous tweets that weren't hyper-partisan rants. Let me demonstrate:

Most people will find this funny, few will find it offensive.

Most people will not find this funny, many will find it offensive.

This does not necessarily mean everyone will find the former funny and none offensive, or that people won't laugh at the latter, many will, I won't even say they are wrong to do so though I bet you will and yet that is exactly what you posted. Point being if someone were to post #2 here, we'd expect them to at least warn people, and we'd probably still rip them up, and even now I doubt you even realize that #2 is literally the same sort of humor you posted us.
