It in effect nullifies their craft to such a degree that anybody listening to some standup mocking them might mistake it as a news cast.
Well OK, to be a tad more accurate, it is almost beyond parody. I have a treat waiting for you at the end.
What Happened during the last 7 days?
The post midterm denial of reality continued …
- Liz Crokin: ‘We Did Have a Red Tsunami’… (Clearly she is red/blue color blind)
Paranoia is still rampant …
- Andrew Wommack: Conservatives Who Oppose the Liberal Establishment ‘Wind up Dead’
- Mark Taylor: Eric Holder Is Posting Mind Control Codes on Twitter
(Clearly both of these guys forgot to take their medication this week)
Some seriously believe that supernatural intervention can swing a democratic vote …
- Christian Nationalist David Lane is Praying for Republican Young Kim to Win CA-39 … (So how exactly does this work in practise? Does God hear the prayer and respond by voting, then pops out to his car, puts on a hat and glasses and goes in and votes again?)
Claims of Magic cures popped up …
- Hank Kunneman: God Will Release Cures for Cancer and Alzheimer’s in Response to Synagogue Massacre… (Kunneman is quoted as saying “Laugh if you may, mock if you may”. Thanks Kunneman for endorsing this column).
The panic attacks about the supposed “War on Christmas” are cranking into gear …
- Religious Right Gears Up Annual ‘War on Christmas’ Attack on Pluralism … (This might be a shock to these folks, but xmas trees, elves, Santa, giving gifts, etc … is all pre-Christian tradition and has nothing to do with Christianity. Additionally, the non-religious don’t actually care, most happily enjoy the fun).
Starbucks is apparently evil …
- Sheila Zilinsky warns that Starbucks “is a cursed thing and you become cursed” by drinking its beverages:
“It is a globalist, anti-Christ agenda and we need to be having no part of it.”
(Indeed yes, their nefarious evil scheme is to sell you coffee and make a few $$ doing so … oh the horror … {shudders})
When something tragic happens, up pop the right-wing religious to use it as a soapbox for crazy stuff …
- Kat Kerr Orders East Coast Winter Storm to Put Out the California Wildfires …(Looks like the East Coast storm gave her the finger, as has every other storm she has ever attempted to dictate to. This lady is quite literally screaming into the wind).
- Paul McGuire: California Can’t Stop Wildfires Due to ‘Enormous’ Spending on Undocumented Immigrants
The usual “Do what we want or God will get you” is still popular …
- Chris McDonald: God Will Destroy the Democrats if They Use the House to Harass Trump …(This is akin to being threatened with the wrath of the Easter Bunny or Santa for doing what is right).
Why is CNN not being believed?
- E.W. Jackson Doesn’t Believe CNN Because the Network Is in League With Satan… (Translation: CNN dare to criticise the hypocrisy of those that claim to believe. I guess that scuppers me as well)
Then there is also the election of people who believe in the wrong God …
- American Pastors Network Bemoans Election of Muslim Women to Congress, Puts Hopes in Conservative Supreme Court… (“My imaginary friend is better than your imaginary friend”)
Books to ban: All plays by some rogue radical writer called Shakespeare …
- Offended Pastors and Parents Pray for High Schoolers Who Saw Shakespeare Play
Sexual Abuse …
- TX Pastor Blames the “Devil” for Child Sex Abuse Charges Against Him…(Religious cleric caught abusing kids. Well gosh we have never seen that before).
… and of course the Catholic cover up continues …
- Vatican Forces Catholic Bishops to Postpone Child Sex Abuse Reform
Satire and Parody
As I indicated in the title, satire and parody needs to up its game to complete with the above. Never fear, many can happily deliver. Here is GOP Jesus …
Here is an explanation …
