"Though the nation has been closely divided along partisan lines for years, the funniest and most politically important acts are overwhelmingly at the expense of conservatives and often carry a clear partisan message." —The Boston Globe's Lisa Wangsness, on how "Comedy has become a liberal genre"
"And someone with the last name Wangsness knows comedy." —Defamer poster "Richard," in response
"I'd hate to generalize but leftist comedy traditionally throws cream pies at those in power, while conservative comedy places tacks or whoopie cushions on the seats of the powerless." —"Cam/ron"
"Don't the Republicans have Dennis Miller? Ha ha! Yes! Dennis Miller, ladies and gentlemen! What's that? You say Saddam Hussein makes Cromwell look like Churchill? Hahahahaha — you truly are the king of references, Dennis!" —"FriendlyFloyd"
"The idea that liberals are smarter, funnier, more caring, and overall better flies better if you yourself are a liberal. And like to congratulate yourself for existing." —"Losin_it"
"Also, Republicans are terrible at Photoshop." —"El Panda Oso"
