If there is a spike in IEDs this week, well, you know who to blame.  Nationals fans!

There’s been a lot of grousing on the boards about the complicity of anti-war Americans in terrorist attacks.  For all we know, half of the broken, shredded bodies being carried off of planes by military escorts can blame their state on a handful of District fans!  Who knew we were so powerful?

Anyway, a whole mess of trouble is headed our way thanks to another bunch of assholes at another District.  That would be the District of Columbia.

Watch our doom being sealed here.

    Hey, how can terrorists be heartened about anything? They’re heartless!

    How stupid! The American people have been lied to and you want to scare them from voicing their opinions… There were no bombs in Iraq, never were never will be but yet the right still tries to scare us… what a bunch of phooy.

    The last time I checked, the Constitution ensures the people’s right to boo whomever they choose. By equating the exercise of free speech with an act of terrorism, you show yourself to be an uneducated drone who hates America. The only speech that I would characterize as terrorism is yours, Ms. Powers - you foster hatred and fear, and sadly too many of our citizens are stupid enough to listen to you.

    Apparently, satire and sarcasm are difficult concepts for certain folks to grasp. Must be Hillary supporters. (Oh no, I didn’t).

    I was certain that my first paragraph would be a dead giveaway, but in the event that you guys are actually serious, read my comments on the above thread. You’ll see where I stand on free speech issues.

    If this was an April Fools joke (or other, non-holiday-related facetiousness), then I’m deeply relieved and I gladly apologize. But sadly, in these troubled times, what passes for “sarcasm” among reasoning people tends to qualify as “journalism” among right-wing animals.

    Indeed, the distressing fact is that the conservative blogosphere would unreservedly agree with every claim you made in this entry. In fact, they independently came up with all of them (see, e.g., the reader discussion forum of the Washington Times’ coverage of this story). In this sense, your article is *too* accurate a satire of conservative bloviating.

    Generally, satire is supposed to be overstated, and yours wasn’t - but I certainly can’t fault you for that. After all, it would be impossible to state the views of the right in a way that makes them sound more stupid than they already do. I would ask only that you put some kind of tag at the end of your satire to identify yourself as a reasonable person. It doesn’t have to be obvious: something like “This is sarcasm, folks,” or maybe “Just kidding, I actually think that all Republicans should be interned.” This kind of thing shouldn’t be necessary, but it will prevent me from venting my righteous, anonymous, internet-anger at the wrong people in the future.

    Labeling it satire kinda defeats the purpose.

    “Why do you call him Curly if he has no hair?”
