Right- we are all stupid because we don’t “get” Rush’s sarcasm, but his listening audience is so brilliant that they do get it. Puh-lease.

Reality is that Sarcasm is an ineffective means to convey a point as it’s highly susceptible to misinterpretation or misunderstanding. It is not the logical weapon of choice for serious intellectuals (other than occasionally, perhaps).

Instead of people making a point that Rush could have made his point about race relations not improving since Obama took office, we see apologia for this terrible rhetorical tool.
