I think this is actually a satire, not real, no?

Interesting. Among the people I passed this along to today, almost everyone understood this to be satire. The one and only group that did not were ideological liberals. Methinks there's some message there having to do with the need to be offended just to feel alive...
FWIW, I thought it was funny as satire...
That's hilarious in itself, you racist pig. ;)

Wm. F. Buckley famously said something to the effect that liberals are tolerant of all points of view until they discover there actually *are* other points of view.

Satire?
"...Although satire is usually meant to be funny, its greater purpose is often constructive social criticism, using wit as a weapon."
Perhaps satire but I didn't think it was funny. I thought it was sad. Funny is ... Lewis & Martin, Abbot & Costello, George Carlin and Robin Williams. Ok, maybe the last is a little over the top, but still funny.
Love it!

Oh c'mon. There's been this whole silly narrative that Obama is Kenyan, Muslim, blah, blah, blah. This piece just played on it.
