That site is much more subtle than The Onion, and many people have been burned by their stories. The story about Yoko Ono having an affair with Hillary Clinton made it's rounds among Trump supporters during the election. And there's a story on the site about German Scientists discovering proof of life after death. There are no obvious jokes in the article, and the comment section is filled with religious people rejoicing at the news. Googling that story shows that it made its way around social media as well. Although it claims to be satire, it reads more like a supermarket tabloid.
Usually I'm pretty sarcasm savvy. That's what I get for googling BO'R and swallowing the first salacious link that popped up. Sigh... Embarrassing. Lesson learned!

Conservatives frequently do not grasp humor and their sense of truth has been impaired by Fox News. Think of them as the aliens who were inspired by Grabthar's Hammer in Galaxy Quest.

Watch Bill and Glenn every Friday on the Blaze discussing such conservative values as Tinder, Hooters, and the theories of Cleon Skousen.
Roger Ailes dropped dead today. Just waiting for O'Reilly to do the same. Two hypocrites who self destructed and showed the world what Conservatism is really all about.
