That may be the sickest thing I have seen on a media outlet. Making light of a tragedy or wishing someone dead, I don't know which is more repulsive.

I'm guessing the "tragedy" was fictitious. Beyond that, it's just hating on a hater. Perfectly alright.

it's called satire. the sickest thing you've seen on a media outlet is that smug faced idiot calling your president a racist.

It's the Onion, not a media outlet. :roll: Everything is a ridiculous and completely untrue parody - their current lead story is "Police seize $50 in wire from nation's wealthiest meth dealer."

Beck Holds DC Rally

August 30, 2010

Conservative talk show host Glenn Beck held a rally on the National Mall on Saturday, the anniversary of Martin Luther King's "I Have A Dream" speech.

What do you think?



  • David Kenyon Systems Analyst
  • "He really got our momentum going. Now, onward to take back Worcester, Mass. from Lucy Stone and the National Women's Rights Convention!"



  • Rebecca Turner Shipping Clerk
  • "I don't mind the MLK thing, but that's where Forrest Gump found Jenny!"



  • Corwin Armstrong Security Guard
  • "Yeah, he really showed everyone how America has lost touch with its roots and explained why we absolutely need new leaders in the mold of our great Founding Fathers, like Glenn Beck himself, a Mormon with no aspirations of higher education."

The day they do a story along the lines of

"Victim In Fatal Car Accident Tragically Not Vice President Biden"

I'll believe that it's just satire they're going for on that site. ;-)

Will this work?

Biden To Cool His Heels In Mexico For A While | The Onion - America's Finest News Source

"I've been dying to hit Tijuana and check out a donkey show," Biden said. "I haven't seen one since Teddy [Kennedy] and the guys took me down there when I was a freshman senator."


Not my cup of tea but also not near as bad as wanting someone to die and using a fake teanage auto crash as your vehicle. Satire is one thing, sick, putrid bile is something else.

I did not say "news" outlet, I said 'media" outlet. CNN: news outlet; Jerry Springer Show: media outlet. Onion: disgusting outlet.

Maybe they'll write a story about you:

"Political paranoid sees partisan agendas everywhere - thinks his alphabet soup is being affected by the liberal media cabal."

Claims 30ashopper "I swear there are more d's in here since Obama took office and I have concrete proof - one of the assembly line workers donated $20 to his campaign."

Company representatives could not stop laughing long enough to formally respond to the claims. :sarc:

Some people need an ADHD buffoon with a chalkboard to help them reach an understanding.

YouTube - Murdoch Agrees With Beck That Obama Is A Racist this is sick putrid bile, the onion is satiric comedy


I guess you would find it equally comedic if the piece was "Victim in car crash tragically not Keith Olbermann, or Michael Moore, or Frank Rich, or pick a liberal jacka**."

Once again, IT'S THE ONION!

It started out as a raunchy fake campus newspaper in '88 and has now expanded thanks to the internet.

Noone and no topic is off limits.

Criticizing the Onion for being in poor taste is like criticizing a vegan restaurant for its lack of beef entrees.

Does the fact the Onion find this worthy of satire bother me, No.

Does it bother me that some find it amusing, yes I guess it does.

It seems at times to tell me more about them and less about the Onion.

And no I did not watch it and do appreciate be forewarned that it was from the Onion.
