Satire is the purpose of The Onion. This one is particularly poignant. It succeeds in mocking both sides.

You should have said, I have never said conservatives are usually racist. If you believe your comment as written, you have not been paying attention. As for the second part, we could have a pissing contest on that, but I'll pass.

I like The Onion and I just thought this was funny as hell and worth posting here.

  - You're right! No one would have ever thought it, said it, or implied it. Perish the thought! - bowser - 2/12/2014 8:47:03 AM

    - My second comment (about the Onion) was satirical. Or at least, ironic. - ER - 2/12/2014 12:51:52 PM
