It mus..."Weee...this feels like flying."<br /><br />It must be because you are high on something. Gulf of Tonkin "legit?" I can't imagine exactly what you mean by that. Like your other reference, the phantom WMDs, it was used as a pretense to justify starting or escalating wars of questionable purpose or legitimacy. It's an old American presidential administration PR strategy that goes back to the Maine and the Alamo. Apparently, it never gets old.<br /><br />We have been looking for those elusive WMDs since before the war. I guess you finally found them.

All you have to do is take a casual look at the control lobbyists have over politicians and you're halfway there. Just look at the way the health insurance industry spending billions scaring people into protesting and fighting against their own best interests.<br /><br />Second, just because something was intended as a joke doesn't mean the joke wasn't in bad taste or mean spirited or, in this case, unclear out of context.<br /><br />There were many other potential, less ambiguous and funnier ways to ridicule the poster; Martians, Communists, hippies, Zoroastrians, etc. To use an actual minority group, in a typed blog where the reader can't hear inflection, is too close to the bone to be funny. It was to far a reach.<br /><br />I'm not saying that the "joker" is a bad person, or even a bigot, just that it was a bad joke. There is such a thing as a bad joke.

Rufus and others here on this forum seem to when a joke is good or bad for everyone.<br /><br />The real point of the joke (whether Rufus likes it or not) is the fact that the person being joked about was a wingnut espousing a ridiculous conspiracy theory. <br />If you want to jump on someone, that's the person you should be jumping on not the 'joker'.

Perhaps the child of Holocaust survivors and the grandson and nephew of a number of victims, who doesn't find antisemitism funny?<br /><br />You do enjoy insulting people, don't you? I'm sure the quote had more to do with corporatism and compromised politicians than mysterious paranoid hidden conspiracies. <br /><br />This pompous humorless douchbag wingnut occasionally watches the news and sees crowds cheering in some parts of the world when told that the Holocaust is a myth, and that Israel is controlling the American government, where children are taught to hate and kill Jews in kindergarten. <br /><br />Sorry to spoil your fun, but while these things are going on,(even in parts of America), it's hard for me to see the humor in it. <br /><br />I do have a sense of humor and I do understand sarcasm. I also believe that people who have an exaggerated sense of paranoia about the establishment deserve to be mocked, but without some additional indicator, (for us dim-witted people), like, "I suppose you think," or "Adolf," or "Achmedinijad," his intention was far from clear, and the poster who commented after me agreed.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22906998.post-23011603564848987712009-10-06T22:12:05.704-07:002009-10-06T22:12:05.704-07:00You said: "There was no one in particular you...You said: "There was no one in particular you were quoting or ridiculing.

If you're either to young or too humorless to get this then I also must conclude that you are a moron or at the very least a pompous humorless douchbag - or maybe the wingnut that was being made fun of initially...?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22906998.post-35309714188228962822009-10-06T21:01:51.334-07:002009-10-06T21:01:51.334-07:00I said,"I hope the blogger is being ironic,&q...I said,"I hope the blogger is being ironic," So I suspected that you were kidding, but it was a bad "joke."<br /><br />The remark was completely out of context and without attribution. There was no one in particular you were quoting or ridiculing. What you quoted was not from a bigot or a "wingnut." We can't hear your tone of voice on line so the remark sat there naked and ambiguous like a smelly lump of shit for eight hours until you explained it. <br /><br />I really recommend that you proofread your blogs before you post them.
