That’s something I have actually found as a surprisingly common trait among conservatives (online at any rate). They often really don’t get sarcasm (witness the first season of Colbert going right over their heads). I honestly think it has to do with how people’s brains are wired and the resulting way the process things which leads people to embrace conservative views and thoughts vs. open or liberal assessment of events, positions, views, etc.
I think your facebook page would beg to differ.
The SandyHooker bleats…
Sorry Sheriff Hanlin that ship already sailed. The whole world knows you’re a complete wacko now.
NGMA. Wow. Genius.
I would really be interested to know who advised him to remove it from his website. I can’t possibly believe that, given the amount of things going on at the time, his first thought was to scrub his Facebook page.
Have serious serious doubts about the integrity of this ideological zealot - 'Truther"
Fully expect that his investigation will make no effort to refute any conservative nut jobs current efforts to say:
- the shooter was Muslim / influenced by Muslims.
- the shooter was on some Russian ‘watch list’ that Obama ignored
Fully expect that his investigation will make no effort to explore / document / highlight
- the Shooter was reported to self identify on an internet website as “Republican”
- the Shooter had been in the US Military for a period of time
- the Shooter had possession of an absurd amount of firepower -
Oh, I don’t think the patriot did, though! How could he be a truly constitutional official anyway if he’s not prepared to believe the government murdered over 20 children in cold blood, huh?
No worries, his constitutional credentials are intact: after that bloodbath, he bravely pointed the finger of blame at the evil government. “Watch, listen, and keep an open mind.” - John Hanlin, 2013. He’s way over that edge, as a salaried government official accusing his horrified colleagues mopping up the blood through innumerable tears while shamelessly collecting his government paycheck!
BTW why doesn’t the delusional seditionist fuck immediately resign??!!! Watch, listen, and terminate this motherfucker without delay!!
It is stunning how frequently they think that deleting something makes it go away. But you have to remember that their solution to many problems is to pray – and see where that gets them.
Sure he’s not.
And Fox News doesn’t tell lies…they simply enable the propagation of them.
Right!! Terminate the the seditionist’s employment IMMEDIATELY!!!
Leadership!
only in conservative bizarre world does this make sense
LOL. Which inspires this from me: National Man-Gun Love Association.
NAMGLA is just begging for a phony web site, so that we can start writing snarky letters to Congress as members of NAMGLA. It needs a PAC, too. What gun-loving politician wouldn’t be proud to have NAMGLA on its list of donors.
I am not a truther, but…
He’s a lying sack of crap and a coward. When they think its only them listening he and his fellow travelers have no problem saying what they really think, but as soon as the general public notices they backpedal like there’s no tomorrow. I would have a teeny tiny bit of respect for them if they embraced their true feelings/thoughts.
Too late, Sheriff Flat-top. We have you on the record.
Its not just online, for the most part they don’t get sarcasm, but if you watch Colbert’s 2006 performance at the White House Correspondents Dinner, you’ll see some of them realizing that some of what he’s saying isn’t exactly complimentary.
That is true, but it has been around for a while. It just needs wider use.
Never underestimate the power of a guilty conscience
