Would it upset you to know that whilst doing so I had no idea of what had been posted immediately prior? I didn't read CC's post until after I had posted the clip from The Onion. Shockingly, I was able to differentiate between the two. Crazy eh? Know what else... when the car goes off the cliff in a movie and explodes in mid-air, the actor doesn't really die. Turns out there's a difference between reality and fiction.

I don't believe anyone else here wishes that, either.<br />The truth of the matter is like watching a movie when Ahnold, et al, are on teh screen and the KPM rises--no one really dies--it's a movie!<br />There may be some radicals out there who do want Beck dead, or Bush, or, for that matter, Bush, Cheney, et al. Those people are not here, or I wouldn't be here.<br />However, relishing in the real death of a mother shot in Toronto... well, there's the difference. It's what Patrick always fails to really understand--false equivalence. On the surface, the two blog posts would appear to contradict, or even appear to be hypocritical. However, some use tomatoes, some use high powered rifles.Sparkyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07537839430366306648noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6708375.post-62621704341139836422009-12-09T13:47:52.987-05:002009-12-09T13:47:52.987-05:00I know they were by two different people. And neit...I know they were by two different people. And neither am I "satire-impaired", CC. In fact, I'm a big fan of The Onion. My point was -- and is -- if you're going to extol the humour in wishing someone dead, you've abrogated the right to slam someone else who plants a humourous title on an item related to someone dying. It's a classic case of "It's not funny when they do it; but it's hilarious when we do it", precisely the sort of thing you so often decry on this very site.Michaelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03641295864145384423noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6708375.post-54658138261788296882009-12-09T10:58:38.535-05:002009-12-09T10:58:38.535-05:00I see Michael's satire-impaired support group ...I see Michael's satire-impaired support group let out early today.CChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11406057201126015750noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6708375.post-73907194171539477672009-12-09T10:43:14.976-05:002009-12-09T10:43:14.976-05:00Michael, take a pill and relax.
