"But labeling items as humor does not make them funny, labeling them satire does not justify some of the inappropriate(OR WORSE) comments that some have made. Saying something mean and nasty and calling it humor does not make it OK"

Ditto and amen brother.

Steve; Perhaps I misunderstood you. You responded to Jim Episale's post with the following quote; "When the facts are with you, you argue the facts. When you the facts are against you, you make personal attacks." May I ask who were you referring to with your choice of the word "YOU"?"

Umm, Doug, did you read the sentence AFTER those two sentences? It couldn't have been any clearer that I was referring to Republicans not to Jim. It could only be misunderstood if you stopped reading what I wrote after the two sentences quoted in your post...
