#1 If I ever see this cocksucker in a restaurant, I'm grabbing the nearest three fire extinguishers and going to town on him.

#4 What a hypocrite. This jerk has a gay white male lover. He ought to be fired for all the lies and B.S. he is allowed to spout on CNN. Most likely, he would sue CNN if fired for either sexual or race discrimination or both and have a big payday. Probably the only reason he doesn't get fired is CNN can't afford to.

#6 In defense of easily-fooled morons everywhere, it reads like just another day at CNN, only with slightly more froth.

#8 The comedy lies in not that they are morons or anything of the sort. The comedy is in the fact that people Will believe the CNN (NPC) has said that as they say all the insane and stupid things all day and people watch this all day and then it is trump bad and then they hate everyone.

Because everyone has a mouth and no ears. Or they are holigamns until they throw their drinks at you.



Orange man bad

#9 You can't just make parody anymore. Real life seems to always be one step ahead of it.

I love that movie! Oh, wait, what did you say?

#13 Raj and JohnQC totally fell for it and did not give any indication of replying satirically.

Who the hell knows what the whatever Bee is? It's not The Onion, it's not labeled as satire. Who knows how many would have fallen for it had I not pointed it out early.

#14 On their web pages: "The Babylon Bee is Your Trusted Source For Christian News Satire."

It appears you just.can't.read.

#16 I've been saying that about Don Lemon and other Dems ever since they drove Sarah Huckabee Sanders out of a restaurant four months ago, so if someone wants to think I fell for a parody, you can GFY.

#17 We all climb that learning curve... and without being able to see expressions it can be be hard to know when people aren’t being serious. I’ve had to apologize for misreading posts far more often than I care to count.

Herb dear, while you are often a delight, you could have pointed out the error without the insult. It is the insult that caused the reaction, not the pointing out, which probably was received with silent relief by those of our readers who also weren’t familiar with the Babylon Bee approach — or, it being a short night after we lost an hour changing to standard time (except Hawaii and most of Arizona — you know who you are) they need more coffee or coffee-equivalents to reach their normal Sunday perceptiveness. ;-)

Raj, just for information, what does GFY stand for? My vocabulary has expanded greatly since I discovered this site, but I must have missed that one.

#18 GFY = Go F*** Yourself (in polite company)

I merely suggested a tasty sugar snack :-)

#19 Well for myself it is obvious who the evil black people are. They oftentimes are the most racist people you could encounter. Even the degree of blackness is a factor to them. They discriminate against those who are the blackest in color. My personal view having worked with many different peoples in DC.

#20 Herb McCoy

'We have to stop demonizing people and realize the biggest terror threat in this country is white men, most of them radicalized to the right, and we have to start doing something about them.’

This statement may have appeared in the Babylon Bee. However, I watched Don Lemon state this on CNN while talking to Chris Cuomo. Don't be an apologist for Don Lemon and his racism. Racism is never cool. A parody is a ludricous immitation with comedy assumed of a thing, situation or a person. The only parody is Don Lemon himself. He is a ludicrous immitation of a newsperson or commentator.

Otherwise, what others have said here.

#22 While I did check to be sure it was the Babylon Bee, it is becoming increasingly difficult to tell satire from reality these days.
