No need to get your knickers in a twist.

That was no attempt at satire, it was direct insult on Republicans and conservatives. You would have to be brain dead not to see it for what it is.

Chill out Dittoheads. It's a joke. The guy is the editor of Phawker.com. I shouldn't have to tell you who his mother is.

Don't you just love the "tolerant" left.

what it should read, is that anyone can vote as long as they pay property taxes by owning a home or property. after all, we cant have people voting for a raise.

Voting for a raise? How do you vote for a raise? Unless you mean voting for the candidate that promises to give you the most government assistance ($$).

No need to further try to prop up overpriced houses by requiring property ownership to vote. People who rent pay property taxes as well, as the cost is passed to them from the landlord.

If you are a property owner with limited knowledge on economic or foreign relation matters, you shouldn't be allowed anywhere near a voting booth, no matter how much depreciating real estate you own.

The fact that something bothers you or insults you doesn't make it less likely to be satire.

The author is obviously in no way serious that white people should not vote. After all, the author is, himself, white.

Thank you.

People have to learn how to remove the sticks from their bums and remove their bloodlust.
