Truth in satire.

Sacha Baron Cohen is very good, but these idiots make it easy for him.

The GOP is enabling and exploiting the worst elements of human nature. Cohen has such a gift to use their dogma against them.

Sigh!
Such a low-hanging fruit.
Low.

The targets may be relatively easy, since ridiculous statements don’t really stand out in their milieu, but this looks like a return to form for SBC. “Do you think liberals are using these school shootings to further their anti-tragedy agenda?” :smile: :cold_sweat:

There are days, most days, that I believe we will save our country from this terrible nightmare. Then there are days I do not.

Today is one of those days I’m grateful I have the afternoon to get lost in a good book.

Yeah. I’m going to try to immerse myself in some work and other projects. The bad guys are wrecking my morale lately, got to clear my head.

This reminded me of a great observation P.J. O’Rourke made when he wrote about Heritage USA, the theme park built by PTL televangelist/grifter/rapist Jim Bakker.

O’Rourke said he wouldn’t ridicule the faithful who visited the park because he thought that would be about as ethical as “hunting dairy cattle at close range with a high-powered rifle and scope.”

Thing is, that’s when people who went in for that kind of tacky, absurd stuff were seen as outside the mainstream and powerless. Now a gullible conspiracy theorist sits in the Oval Office, at least when he decides to show up, white nationalists are part of the national conversation and oppress people of color along both our borders, marchers chant “Jews will not replace us,” terrorists target non-WASPs and on and on. So it’s not like we’re beating up on the village idiot. We’re beating up an members of the town council who also happen to be idiots.

I just love how they totally out-James-O’Keefed James O’Keefe. Utterly and completely owned. Hilarious.

Just to be clear, you’re telling me that this is a thing that actually happened? Not the Onion or suchlike?

Oh my God. Just oh, my God.

Just give the freaking billion dollars for the “program” to the NRA, and leave children alone, you Party of pedophiliacs.

I fear reality has outrun satire. Arming four-year old children, if it isn’t already a bedrock NRA principle, is a very reasonable extrapolation of their maximalist position on the gun issue.

I predict these monsters will be highly feted by conservatives like some sort of returning Spartan warriors. They just “owned the libtards” something something.

Your question is well justified.

Sasha Baron Cohen is very inventive. Even my Mother liked him although she considered him to be very cheeky, like when, as Ali G., he interviewed some stuffy MP and, out of nowhere, asked the guy, "How is your balls?

But this stuff is just depressing. funny, but depressing.

The. WaPo review of the show disagrees. He dutifully clucks his tongue at this erosion of trust the show effects (If you can’t trust Sacha Baron Cohen who can you trust?) and explicitly asserts that is the liberal version of O’Keefe. Both sides!
