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).

It is funny how many of the 'serious' posters herein (you know, those without a job who spend all day herein) cannot tell the difference between satire and a true piece of news.
It would appear you're the one with too much time on your hands. I mean, really, who has time to keep track of who posts what and how often?

I'm pretty sure I know who doesn't have a job and spends all day herein.

Which is worse? The OP falling for a satire site he's never seen before, or people believing and defending Obama lies over and over and over for years? "Fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice, shame on me." It's too bad liberals never catch on to the second part of that saying.

Yeah, they believe every silly little thing they hear on MSNBC. And then drag it around on the internet like it's gospel truth.

Now who's the fool?

If he understood the "satire", then he and the other "impeachists" sure made non-satirical arguements and assessments of why Obama should be really impeached; not satiricaly impeached.
And you would have known if nobody had told you?

Sure.

lolol

99% of the posters jumping on the OP didn't know until someone said something.

Who are the real idiots?

Clue: Dems/libs.

Guess we are generalizing, guess that means the Cons all believe everything they see on Fox News and act like it is the gospel truth.

In case you didn't know, not a lot of people watch MSNBC, and a good number of their viewers are people who watch Fox News.

So you are attacking the people who knew the site was a satire site and was ragging on the OP for thinking the site was real?

The other headlines are such topics as:

Dennis Rodman Wins Nobel Peace Prize

Pope Francis Supports Gay Marriage

Republicans Offer to Fund Government if Obama Bans Abortion

Poll: Republicans Support Obamacare if Called ‘Reagancare’



Etc. So you can see why the OP might've easily made the mistake;

Spoken like someone who has never been outside of the US! I can guarantee you that the President is definitely not the joke of the dinner table, the Tea Party is a national embarrassment.
