leave it to the right wing to classify their Racism, sexism, bigotry, and hate as “Satire” even though they get all riled up and cheer when their leaders and mouthpieces are being such “satirists.” Sarah Palin calling Katie Couric’s softball, basic, low IQ questions – “gotcha” questions is satirical.
