No you simply become offended when you are presented with satire.


No, I don't. Wait...you post satire?

Not often, I prefer facts but other people do and you call them
racist. You even call facts racist if you do not like the conclusion
they present.

Damn those racist facts!

Yup. I was funny watching the panel from NPR fact checking the Trump
speech when they got to the claim about the spike of violent crime in
the big cities. They started by saying that overall crime is down,
then almost as a second thought they acknowledged that yes crime is
bad in the black neighborhoods in the large cities, ignoring that
Trump was talking about that exact thing.
They also had to quibble about their contention that the line about
more cops being killed this year saying it was only 21% and then when
they narrowed it down to "being shot" it wasn't 43% more, it was 78%
more.
People do not realize, most cops killed in the line, die in traffic
accidents and they are changing their road side procedures (notice
these days the cop stops on the grass side of your car now, not
partially on the road side) along with lighting their cars up like a
Vegas casino. THAT is the number that is coming down.
