Republican Satire

My best friend and I have a Republican Satire site that is aimed at hardcore news junkies like we are:

www.RepublicanPress.com

We take aim at the full spectrum of right wing neocon pundits.

I hope that some of you will take a look and let us know what you think. We know there are alot of democrats who are down in the dumps, and we hope we can give fellow democrats something to smile about.

Thanks
Chris and Jay

Actually, quite a few.

We get neocons who email us and reply to our Kathleen Kuntly, GOP Media Diva character.

They say things like, " I really agree with you Ms. Kuntly, but I find your columns to be very vulgar and distasteful..."

We post samples from our email in our "mailbag" section of our forums so our readers can laugh with us at the crazy letters we get.

7. That's great...
But I think the best part is the fact that they think you're serious. LOL

25. That has to be the best part bar-none.
The one who wrote in saying how much he admired Ms. Kuntly's work made me laugh so hard I choked. Oh, the irony!

11. Great stuff.
Can I offer some unsolicited layout advice? Get rid of the forced justification in those front page boxes - it's putting a lot of strain on the text and making it harder to read. Left justified text would be way more readable, and since the items are boxed off and non-columnar anyway, force-justification isn't really necessary. The writing's fabulous, though, I must say. Great work.

13. Thanks for the tips
I will give that a try, thanks for the tip.

We put way more time into writing our columns than we do into web layout. I have learned alot since I first designed the site, and whenever I get time to redesign the homepage I will keep your suggestions in mind. Any other suggestions would be appreciated.

I am glad you found our site humorous....Please pass us along to your friends.

Chris

14. Funny stuff
I can't believe there are people out there who think it's real, but the far right is so deluded and hate-filled, I guess they have lost all ability to reason.

You are correct. I did not realize this, and I have corrected it.

DU is now on my links page!

Thanks for enjoying our humor, and I hope that you'll pass us along to your friends who might enjoy our site too.

20. Wow
thanks for adding DU! I think it's one of the best liberal websites on the internets!

And your site rocks. It's very read out loud friendly. My friend and I have been sitting here cracking UP over it.

Thanks, please let us know which columns you like best.

We really listen and want to give our readers more of what they find funny.

We are going to be doing at least 2 radio interviews in connection with our site during the month of December. When I get the details nailed down I will let you know.

We do our interviews in deadpan as idiot neocon columnists from our site, the two we've done already went really well.

Thanks Moonbeam,
Chris

23. Oh my gosh how hilarious
how do you keep from busting a gut laughing? I was reading one of the Kuntly articles out loud (I have to admit, she's my fav so far, but I need to check out the others more) and there were some lines I couldn't get through without laughing.

It's sad statement on republicans nowdays if ANY of them think that site is for real. DAMN! You even have a disclaimer at the bottom!
