Well, the latest entry to the ThisHasToBeSatire<\/em> department is a blog post on a charmingly named website called “Liberals Must Die<\/a>.” While I found this site by chance on Technorati (good old tags, oddly this was the result of an Intelligent Design<\/a> tag search)<\/p>\n

The post in question (Global Warming Proven False<\/a>) has a picture of a snow storm and the following text:<\/p>\n

I think this about sums it up<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The hearing on ‘WARMING OF THE PLANET’ had to be cancelled because of an ice storm.<\/p>\n

And yet these Global Warming idiots don’t get it!<\/p>\n

Global warming is just a lie!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I must admit that (possibly as a result of too long spent reading the blogs of the truly insane) it took some time for me to decide this site was satirical. The main clues I (eventually) picked up on were the link to the Drudge report (above) and some of the other posts. After reading the ones which at least looked overtly legitimate, I found more (eg. the Muslim Terrerists<\/a> (sic) category) which I think are solid evidence the site is purely humour. Some examples:<\/p>\n

Some say Obama is not<\/strong> a terrorist, and yet he has still not denied it!!Do you know he was raised in Hawaii??? That is practically a foreign country; half way to China, the original Pearl Harbor bombers! (read original<\/a>)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

and<\/p>\n

This is so kick ass. When all is said and done, GWB could go down in history has being the President who waged the most wars of all time!! I say this… ran wants nukes, well lets give them an up close demonstration.How about a 50 Mega Ton Bomb right in the capital!! As the great Jerry Falwell said “Blow them away in the name of GOD<\/strong>!” (read original<\/a>)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I had originally thought this was some ultra-right wing madman but on second reading, and assuming the humourous intent, it actually becomes funny. The real killer is the “Top Ten Lessons from 24<\/a>” – it is hilarious.<\/p>\n
