I received this because I’m on an e-mail list that includes a right-wing idiot.

This is a classic illustration of how right-wing propaganda works. Of course absolutely none of these TV comedians made a single one of these “jokes.” The “author” was so lazy they used incomplete and misspelled names for the TV figures. But notice how each one reinforces the alternate universe constantly referred to and maintained by hate-radio hosts and Fox News Channel. In that universe, the whole country is laughing at racist jokes about Obama’s ancestry, and Letterman (who is very well known for his passionate hatred of George W. Bush and was intensely criticized by right-wingers for supporting Obama) makes vicious elitist jokes about Obama’s voters. The disseminators of this garbage actually think that no one will care when they find out these are all fabricated quotes. That is because there is a food-chain system among the right-wing in which daily lies, often in the form of “talking points” are systematically disseminated and then used in the very short term, and those using the lies simply don’t care that they are false. If someone points out that the specifically crafted, manipulative lie is in fact false, this person is attacked as some sort of “sour puss” for ruining a good “joke.”
