re: #497 jimmyk

Yes, it’s amazing how many people just won’t accept the fact that she was being satirical. Now it’s perfectly reasonable to say that you don’t find it funny, or you don’t like her sense of humor. But to claim that she really meant literally what she said, just because you didn’t find her funny, is a bit ridiculous.

And I thought the conservatives’ went a little overboard with the Letterman-Palin incident, though I do think he crossed a line that Coulter did not, which was to joke at the expense of someone’s children.

jimmyk, you and others here are positing a false dichotomy, I do believe, and also have not read our detailed discussion. Please see my posts #421 and #430 for why I don’t buy your paragraph above. I look forward to your response.
