I have a question for Gillespie: how pathetic is it that a 50-year-old man still wears a black leather biker jacket?

because… once again, 90% of libertarians are just hipster conservatives who think they are too cool to be identified as Republicans.

Wow. That’s the sort of comedy gold you’re supposed to find hilarious in third grade, but would only work now if it was meant to be anti-conservative satire mocking them for engaging in third grade humor.

And what’s sad is that there is potential there for this to be funny, but it’d have to be the opposite of this. Because in truth, this is exactly what conservatives do anyway. They take normal statements Obama made which aren’t wrong or controversial and twist them entirely out of context, to mean things he clearly never said. And so if he posted an interview of Obama saying libertarian things he agreed with, that could be funny. Or if he found himself agreeing with Obama and switched teams in the middle of the interview to declare himself a big government liberal, that could be funny.But just taking Obama’s normal statements out of context isn’t comedy, it’s the sad reality conservatives live in every day.

But sadly, trying to explain to them why this isn’t funny is like trying to explain color to a blind artist; except the blind artist at least knows that he’s blind. These bozos don’t understand humor at such a level that they can’t even see how they’re not getting it. They imagine they’re doing the same things we’re doing, so it must be sour grapes that we’re not laughing along.

Conservatives are jealous that their candidates and office holders don’t need to be edited for satirical effect.

Oops. I forget. Well, it’s been some time since we’ve been able to snark on libertards.

The fact is that no one can top Stephen Colbert’s fake interview with Tom DeLay, and no one should ever try…http://thecolbertreport.cc.com/videos/tb1qzm/better-know-a-district---texas--22nd---tom-delay

I’ve seen him referred to as the “Fonzie of Freedom”. He doesn’t realize it, but with every year that passes, his Doofus Quotient rises by increasing orders of magnitude.

Modern conservatives; unintentionally funny since 1980.

One libertarian to another, after the weed wears off:
“Wow, that clip really sucked.”

It is hard to laugh at anything if one cannot laugh at oneself
