'Your inability to recognize sarcasm, substantiates the thesis that many liberals lack a finely developed sense of humor. I really don't believe that. I think they usually get the humor but choose to take a remark literally in order to advance an argument.'

Sarcasm was Limbaughs specialty. He knew that his audience would internalize the lie-based sarcasm and eventually repeat it as fact.

You could listen to Limbaugh's show in the morning and read his dittoheads regurgitating his schpiel nearly verbatim on TMF that afternoon.... but they repeated it as if his false premises were facts.

It wasn't funny then and it's not funny now because at the bottom of that so-called humor is a bed of lies.

When Trump does it now, his cult says 'It's just his style.' But they internalize his mean, racist, bullying humor. It manifests in their writing and civic mis-behaviour, and in the extreme, right wing terrorism.

No, BHM, it's not funny.
