This doesn’t make sense. Everyone knows the US has the worst health care in the world. Why isn’t he joining Michael Moore in Cuba for their top-notch service?
Just give it a few years, and then our system will really suck :)
No one disputes that the American health care system is a superb deal for kings, tycoons, moguls and well heeled...

One of my good friends just ended her friendships with me, and a group of people that care a lot about her. Why? Because of the stupid things all of you extremists have put in her mind. Sure she can be liberal and want equality, but to the point that it affects your relationships? It’s ridiculous. All of you, sit down and...

I think Palin would be most offended by the fact that you’re using her face to recycle. Like a communist.

Via Newshounds: Fox Nation probably knew it was a joke, but that they only post jokes that target Obama as the butt is telling.
Also telling is their readers inability to understand it was a joke. From the commentary;

Will Glenn Beck Kill the Food Safety Bill? →
stfuglennbeck:
In an impassioned, rambling and error-infested rant last week, Glenn Beck made a last ditch effort to kill the Senate food safety bill, calling it a “Death Star.” As is often the case with Beck’s entertaining screeds, it’s hard to decipher what exactly the underpinnings of his outrage are. But his rant is fueling Tea Party opposition, threatening the much-needed bill.

That’s the only conclusion that can be drawn here:
The Salvation Army is threatening to close soup kitchens for tens of thousands of New York’s homeless and walk away from other projects if the city enacts legislation requiring firms that do business with New York to offer health benefits to the partners of gay staffers. The evangelical faith is prepared to give up the $70 million a year ...
