Exactly.
But not pick on, bait to make the look like an idiot when they take a story seriously.

I really, really don't like them.

Yeah, a lot of people get taken in by them.

It is their purpose to try to make people look like idiots: the people they portray, and the people who take their articles as fact.

Even as a satirist, I do not like them.

I was totally caught out. I didn't vet the source and I didn't read the disclaimer in the notes section of the post. I've never heard of the site. kinda of an Onion that only picks on conservatives?

Sorry, Scott - this article is a fabrication, as are all articles on http://nationalreport.net

National Report is a site dedicated to Alinsky tactics through satire.

Their purpose is to portray any dissent on the right as Bible thumping idiocy.

Idiots leading idiots. I have no doubt they played up the muslim history of math and science of 1000 years ago

Censorship is alive and well in Kansas. If you don't like it change the channel.

Who are the fools who keep re-elcting these people? In the words of Obi Wan Kenobi: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x0ow4X8ti...
