105. Facts are that in the link there are 20 posters who either got it immediately
or had a very high suspicion that it was from the onion. And anyone reading the thread would have seen that there was suspicion from the first post. The first three posters all specifically mentioned, much to my delight the onion. Here are the responses of the people who got it and laughed their heads off(1,2,6,26,35,60,4,8,9,10,14,67,17,19,32,36,80,43,64,69)

You have completely brushed over the fact that I put obvious absurdities into it so that anybody who was thinking about it would be able to figure it out.

Exactly three people objected versus 20 that raved about it. There are different ways to communicate. Sometimes you need a picture and sometimes you need a lecture, a photograph and sometimes you can actually get people to think by pulling their legs.

You figured out that it was a parody but you have missed the real meaning.

Look at post # 78

So, I just figured out this was a joke
and the frightening thing is that entire campaign has gone so far off course that I actually thought this was real and they were banking on Rhode Island.

That is how insane the HRC camp has become, that some of us here actually believe this to be true...even for a moment.

Once again, great writing Grant!

Post "70" she didn't get it but after she thought about it she got the real meaning which you have missed. It wasn't an attempt to take something written by honorable people who are trying to communicate somthing honorable and make their intellectually honest statements look ridiculous.

It was an exercise to take something that dishonorable people are doing to make a joke out of process (by continuing to undermine Obama's victories and show the absurdity. Winning 11 straight now has now meaning. Winning Texas has no meaning even winning Vermont, Ohio and Texas in addition to the 11 in a row will have no meaning - they must win Rhode Island or it is 'buyers remorse'.

I simply took their absurdity and while maintaining their logic stretched it to make their explanation as ridiculous as their logic. And your right, they are so far gone it is very hard to tell what is coming out of the Clinton camp is it really from them or something from the Onion.
