Thats fine I wasn't actually asking for it being moved.
I was just stating an opinion and trying to raise a point about the meta-thread.
You'll note my second post made no demand of moving it just tried to explain why I had the opinion. With an example from my past experience watching both Republicans and Democrats argue in our General Store.
Here is a quote taken from the first spoof post maybe it will help to show my point.

with Carville on Anderson Cooper. That "intelligent Design" crap!
Carville said you can't teach the "stork brings babies" anymore!

Before you reply, take the qoute above and replace "intelligent design" with "evolution" and then see how it strikes you.
Again I agree this is a fine work of meta-homour and I almost didn't post my initial statement, but I see a certain amount of blindness on this Discussion Board that seems to have a strong predominately liberal member set and since many of you are writers I thought pointing out one form of that blindness might make for an interesting discussion thread.
I'm not putting this site or the people on it down I also see blindness on many of the predominately conservative discussion board sites I frequently visit.
I enjoyed the comedy thread, but in spite of being very good meta-humour it is supporting liberal stances and ideas and using the wrapping of humour to try and prevent any counter discussion.
The Democrats who wrote this meta-humour thread knew exactly what they were doing when they spent the hours or days creating it and I thought I'd point that out.
Had M Fnord not said "(Yes, it's Democratic Underground. No, it's not political except in the broad strokes. Yes, it's very, very funny.)" I'd probably not said anything except how funny it was.
Yes it's great humour, but it is also a wonderfully crafted set of liberal democrat statements and arguments.
By the way I'm not trying to imply I don't have my own blindnesses, just that a few of them seem to be in different areas.
