There is nothing wrong with being suckered. I have seen others post links to satirical articles and, after it was pointed out, sheepishly admit to being fooled. I have some respect for people who admit mistakes.

One problem we have on CD is the number of people (I am not specifically talking about the OP) who obviously 'scan' the headline or the first paragraph of some article they found while 'surfing the net', then come here and start a new thread with a title saying, essentially, "Behold, the magnificent article that will enlighten all and cause liberals to gnash their teeth!!"

Yet, time after time, careful readers of said article will end up responding that said article is not what the poster believed it to be, or that the article is satire. We simply have too many people who get some measure of 'self worth' by starting new threads (some will start two or more new threads on the very same topic time after time).

You gullibly assumed the OP didn't know that.
The OP also believes Fox News! That is how gullible the Cons are!!!

- The IRS audit scandal
- Deceiving the American people with his ACA, which is a train wreck in progress.

And other items that show Obama's incompetence - Those are not satire news.
So Obama should be impeached because you really, really don't like Obama? None of those things are impeachable reasons.

I agree with your entire post. That being said, anyone who would quote Michele Bachmann as a credible source has just proven that he will believe anything.

"This isn't just poor leadership. The Obama administration is corrupt to the core. The scandals surrounding the IRS, Benghazi, the Fast and the Furious (sic) and Solyndra have shown us this cabal will do anything to stay in power.
"But in shutting down the government President Obama has committed economic treason against the United States of America, and he must be removed before it's too late. The Constitution provides us the mechanism of impeachment. It's time to end this dictatorial regime and return the presidency back to the American people."
House Republicans Schedule Obama Impeachment Hearings - The Daily Currant

Of couse, there are many other impeachable offenses that are sure to be discussed.

Wingnuts falling for Onion - style humor again.

Making it 10 x funnier.

I never heard of it before. I can only say, you Dumbocrats believed (and some still believe) "If you like your current plan, you can keep it. If you like your doctor, you can keep your doctor." This has been proven to be a lie. You fell for it.

I'd say we're even.

This does not mean that Obama shouldn't be impeached. There are pleanty of reasons why he should be impeached, which are far beyond anything Clinton did.

Oh, blah, blah, blah........

Most people with any "sense" would double check their sources before posting something as "fact." Google is your friend.

And there are some RWNJ's who probably saw that and immediately sent money to SarahPac to help fund her campaign.

Too funny.

So I see you can't even bring yourself to admit that you got duped by a parody site.

I don't like Obama's agenda and that's not a reason to impeach him, but if you read more about the items I listed, he is suspected of committing impeachable offenses, including lying, twisting the truth, covering up, and ordering various officials to not reveal important relevant information. The only way we can get the truth is by investigating the hidden aspects of those events, yes it'll be tough, but he needs to know that he cannot and will not continue to operate the Executive branch in the matter he has for the last 5 years.
