So, let me get this straight.
Both NYcarbineer and myself pointed out that this thread was started off with an analogy by CrusaderFrank, in which he's trying to mock Obama by comparing him to Sarah Palin - since both campaigned for losing candidates last week.
The thread title, and first lines of his post, are:
CrusaderFrank said:
Libs were right about Palin. Epic Fail
I've seen the light. It was an Epic Fail. It sucks when the Leader of a Party campaigns for Candidates who lose decisively.
I immediately poked fun at "Frank", since in his analogy Sarah Palin would be "the leader of" the Republican Party, just as Obama is the leader of the Democratic party.
Personally, I rather think most Republicans would NOT consider her the leader of the party - hence, the humor (which seems to have gone right over the heads of some people, or maybe I'm just not a funny guy, whatever)
NYcarbineer made essentially the same joke, asking how many others agreed with Frank that Sarah was the leader of her party (since,
in Frank's analogy, she would be).
I'm immediately castigated by three or four wing-nuts who accuse me of either being too stupid to see that Frank was talking about Obama (because, as one of them pointed out, since "libruls love abortion and hate the death penalty", it must logically follow that we couldn't follow Frank's erudition

).
Other conservatives (at least one) immediately try to point out that I "apparently" missed the point of Frank's thread, and that I "selectively" cut and pasted his post, and that Frank's whole point somehow "slipped past" me.
Are you all being really honest here? You REALLY don't see the humor in Frank's making an analogy - in an attempt to mock Obama for Corzine's loss - in which Sarah Palin would be analogous to Obama. Thus making her the leader of the party in Frank's little joke.
If none of you has the guts to just admit that what I just wrote is a fair analysis of Frank's analogy, and that both NYcarbineer and I were making valid (even if unfunny to you) attempts at humor, rather than somehow "missing the point" of Frank, then the lot of you lack any honor at all. Just pathetic if true.
As for Frank - this is a guy who posted, in this thread, such gems as:
DO smart people handle their balls during the National Anthem?
(hint: non-sequiter)
and
Sarah Palin got a third party candidate to within the Margin of error of victory
(hint: wrong, it wasn't within the margin of error of the election)
So - this is the guy whose posts that NYcarbineer and I supposedly couldn't glean the meaning from? Really? I guess it's nice to know just what, exactly, we're dealing with as far as so-called conservatives go there, at least.
