We don't get it

Full story: The Lebanon Daily News

Sarcasm is a dangerous path to tread in a society that is increasingly humorless and increasingly given to finding objection in the slightest possible slight.

Yeah, given the topic, you knew that it had to eventually get to who did what to the Divine Obama no matter how the piece started. This proves once again that there is, indeed, a very fine line between sarcasm and irony -- and, sometimes, no line at all.

Obama is thin-skinned enough without having editorialists being thin-skinned on his behalf.

Did you notice how the LDN and other left wingers always point their fingers at Republicans as the cause of all the sins of this country? Here's real sarcasm. We are so lucky to have lefties that are so perfect that they are saving our country.(Sic). Reality is, they are cut from the same garbage that has already destroyed our traditional way of life and must be stopped at the next election. GOD BLESS AMERICA!

Only a Fox News diddo-head like yourself is unable to see the difference between constructive criticism and outright Republican lies.

Try again Repuke.
