Say what you want about the Right (and being an equal opportunity center-of-the-aisle kind of snark, I've said a lot...), they have much thicker skins than the Left, I've noticed."
Except if you make a comment about religion, or abortion, or raising taxes, or anything that makes the pundits on Fox News and AM radio go nutty. If they really were thick-skinned, they wouldn't be reacting with so much illogical rage to everything.
Every joke made about the current administration can never really be just a joke about the current administration, it's either borne of "racism" or a "disturbing indication of a growing violence and unrest."
Except that they actually are making death threats to Obama (at twice the rate that Bush got them), most notably in their "water the tree of liberty" signs (which is a reference to an old quote about violent action). Or have you not noticed the Birthers and Teabaggers carrying those signs (many of which involve racist images of Obama as a witch doctor, monkey, or eating fried chicken and Kool-Aid)?
Funny how you use anecdotal evidence to show a lack of outrage on the part of the right (as we know that works so well) whiloe giving no evidence for your claims that the left is obsessed with being cool (last I looked, the "cool" factor was about being outside of the mainstream, whether people are on the left or right).
