The Knee-Slapping Hilarity of Republican Satire

Those fun-loving pranksters over at the RNC have cooked up a satirical newspaper from the future to show what life will be like under the Democrats. In September 2007, the paper reports, the Democratic majority in the House and the Senate will be busy repealing tax cuts, dismantling the missile defense system, and cutting funding to faith-based programs.

And who will be cheering them on? "Regular Americans" like "Judy Smith-Walker, a New York graphic designer," "Stefan, a 28-year-old full time student in San Francisco," and "aspiring Hollywood screenwriter Rex Star." Note the oh-so-subtle stereotyping at work. Given the level of humor of the whole exercise (Ted Kennedy's proposed legislation is entitled, "Leave Education For Teachers" or LEFT ACT), I'm surprised the rapier wits of the RNC didn't just come out and call them Judy Feminazi and Foreign McFagfag.

To be a fascist, you've got to be a dick worshiper ? or one of the dicks. Your average stupid peasant male DOES, and will, therefore, respond to intimidation and humiliation. The daddy-party understands this, and websites like this enhance the dick of these people. One of the reasons you socialists and liberals lost the "ears" of the peasant losers is your refusal to acknowledge the needs of the trash males.

If there's one vital skill Democratic politicians have to learn, it's gut punch retorts. Standing around mute like cigar store wooden Indians riddled with termites, just doesn't cut it. Anyone too timid, dimwitted or inarticulate to refute the rabid right's blitzkrieg of absurd lies or childish accusations of "weak on terrorism," doesn't belong in politics.

Voters didn't elect them to be punching bags, we expect them to return punch for punch. If they can't manage that, then retire, resign or commit suicide.

There are some articles here they've failed to make look ridiculous enough:

That one looks like just plain good sense these days.
