Readers should have recognized column’s satire

I saw many people wrote in to point  out the inaccuracies of Brian Amos’ Wednesday column. It needs to be stated that he wrote the article to be satirical. However, those who did not get it are not fully to blame.

Amos is  obviously, no Jonathan Swift.

In Amos’ defense, though, I’d like to say satire of the typical Christian right tea bagger is difficult. Satire should be crazier than the opinion it is ridiculing, but it’s hard to be any more insane than they already are.
