The onion is great. That one guy who said Beck was some dumb fat Mormon ... was probably from these forums.
Here is one of our very own telling it like it is:

Seen it a few months ago on another forum where people talked politics. Joking about someone's death when it comes to political disagreement is the line for me. Not funny.

This is a slap in the face to anyone who really has lost children or any loved one. As much as I don't like Glenn Beck, I don't wish for his death. This is just bad.

:confused:
{sarcasm} ya, just think of how Adolf Hitlers parents must feel [/sarcasm]

Death to the NWO and all their promoters.
:mad:

Beck is a propagandist.

The Onion has its good moments - this isn't one of them. Could you imagine if this was about someone on the left or Obama or something? This is just really distasteful and shows that 'hate speech' is only acceptable to use for those that preach against it.

It's hilarious, I don't know why some of you are getting all sensitive over it.

I think The Onion is making fun of the Beck haters, not that they themselves at The Onion want to see him dead.

Its SATIRE. Its not real. No one reported on to have been killed in the news article actually died. Because, its NOT real.

Do you really think that Reebok is going to introduce a new line of Full Body Sneakers?

:rolleyes:

Diddo. I saw it. Wish I didn't. That was a slap in the face in the same manner handed down by those fuckers who ridiculed Dr. Paul. Bad form.

Why is this an outrage now? This is so old.

Hey Trucknmike, glad to see ya. Good to know we have one thing in common :)

You really changed my outlook back in the day.
