Goat Killer duped by The Onion

by: Eric B.

Thu Feb 14, 2013 at 09:45:55 AM EST


I take this less as a sign of personal stupidity, and more about a rightwng willingness to believe absolutely anything that conforms to preconceived suspicions.

Agema, who was recently term-limited out of the state House and now is one of Michigan's delegates to the Republican National Committee, tweeted to followers during Tuesday's State of the Union address.

He linked to a Sept. 2012 article by The Onion titled "Obama's 19-Year-Old Son Makes Rare Appearance At DNC."

He goes on to demonstrate that he has no idea what satire is, and then tweets to the effect that he also doesn't know what socialism is.

Let's add this to the laundry list of the Goat Killer's greatest hits, which includes skipping a budget vote to kill goats in Siberia, declaring war on an orphans' clothing fund, trying to rewrite food stamp eligibility to ensure that elderly shut-ins starved to death, and hating on gays ... like, all the time.

Any speculation:
On Dave Agema's future ambitions?  State Senate?  Congress?  Governor?

Great Lakes, Great Times.

He's an RNC committee guy right now
At one point, he was pondering a run for the U.S. House. 'Xcuse me, God was pondering having him run for the U.S. House. Goat Killer was merely going to be God's instrument in Congress.

Speaking of oddly-timed Siberian hunting expeditions, it is bizarre to consider that today there would be no remaining state representatives who were serving during the 2007 legislative budget battles. Talk about a lack of even minimal direct, institutional memory amongst state house members.  

Great Lakes, Great Times.

Term limits...
worst idea ever.

Poe's Law will make fools of us all
How is it that eight, ten years ago everyone KNEW that The Onion was satire, but now people seem to be FORGETTING that and thinking that it's real?  What is going on?  

I didn't think that was the sort of thing that you just "forgot."
