Shelley the Republican

that is my favorite page of the site! This lady is hilarious, although she is completely serious.

My God, the woman is hilarious. Complete basket case, dangerous lunatic even, but funny nonetheless.

EDIT: The God's hitlist?!?!

God’s people hitlist : God wants them dead because they harm America!

God’s lifestyle choices hitlist : God hates people that belong to one of the groups below because they harm America!

God’s music hitlist : God hates people that listen to the bands below because they harm America!

And a comment next to the names of people on the list who've died, "God won".

Funny, somehow I doubt that she would consider her own death in the same way. When someone from the list dies, it was "God smiting a filthy liberal". Whereas her death would be considered (by her, of course), oh I don't know, "a tragic loss", instead of , say, "God smiting a hate-mongering, bigoted, hypocrite bitch".

Funny, that.


EDIT EDIT:

Her letter to the Korean ambassador, regarding the Virginia Tech shooting.

Sooo, she hears voices that "compel her" to do things?

No, seriously. Did you see the size of the archive? Anyone who would spend that much time creating a spoof page is just as mental as someone who would write it in all earnesty.

It's real blog that is updated regularly, but it's all a joke. It's satire. Shelly and crew probably aren't even republicans.

I figured this out when I saw that there were articles about Linux, and even bits and pieces of correct information about it (like the original creator's name, I believe). The reason this gave it away for me is because...People who are really this idiotic don't even know the word "Linux."

when I saw Linux users on the god's hitlist, I knew it was a sham

You know Lowtax has made a LIVING off creating a sppof page, right?
You DO know that some people MAKE MONEY WHILE MAKING OTHERS LAUGH?

whats sad is that i bet there are some people out there that think this is real and follow it.

Yes, they are called The Onion or Weekly World News. See, that's sarcasm, that's irony, that's satire. What makes it actually good, is the fact it's clearly tongue-in-cheek tone, and distinguishable from "real", "serious" sites. These sites obviously goe over the top.

This site, however, never does. You might think it's so outrageous no one in their right mind would write something like that, but most extremists (on either side) aren't in their right minds, and there is very little that goes over the top of what they would say.

The Shelly Republican site may or may not be satirical, but if it's indistinguishable from "serious sites", "satirical" or not makes no difference. Because outrageous though it may be, it's not any different from real extremist sites. Oh yes, if you don't protest openly against homosexuals, immigrants and other races, you'll burn in Hell. And remember, God hates a fag.

So "Shelly Republican" is a satirical author (or group of authors) who spends his or her time writing stuff that's (say what you will) entirely indistinguishable from extremist right-wing propaganda, yet the site is somehow beyond reproach because they are being "sarcastic"?

The point of sarcasm is giving the audience some sort of indication that you aren't being serious. As far as that goes, this site fails miserably. It's indistinguishable from what they are (presumably) trying to mock. So either the author(s) are being serious, or wildly incompetent. Or both. Fact remains, they are spending a lot of time and effort writing content that is in no way different than what extremist propaganda looks like. If the page rants against "Evil-ution, a Godless concept brought forth by Lie-berals", the fact that it may be sarcastic is entirely irrelevant.

Thank you. My point exactly.

I think it's pretty good actually, because they place things around the site that tip you off that it's satire, but it's believable enough that the idiots who actually beleive that shit comment positively on the articles.

And then we can laugh at them.

That doesn't justify the site. The views presented in this blog aren't much different from real sites, and positive comments are equally as appraising of equally stupid views and texts, and deserve to be laughed at. However, negative comments (posted presumably by liberals), both on "real" sites and here, are just as idiotic, showing liberals as raging morons too.

Well, everyone except this guy (this is what real sarcasm looks like): QUOTEI was directed to a website that needs the grace of God and Christ Jesus. It’s called 4Chan.

4chan

Simply clicking one of the “Image Boards” on the left side of the page, the most perverted of which is “Random” (referred to by its patrons as /b/, which probably stands for “Beelzebub” or “Barack Obama” — not much difference), one can tell that these poor people are in dire need of the Word of God. I think, STR, that you are the perfect people to deliver it.

Please help them see the light.

What the site author could do to make right-wing extremists look ridiculous: go to extremist blogs, log on, pretend to be right-wing extremists, and then act like a complete cretin (all the while vehemently agreeing with the opinions stated by the blogs' authors). Sort of like the "Ku-Klux-Klan gamble" from South Park.

This way, however, they are producing a site that won't make extremists seem any more ridiculous (because both the blog itself and the positive comments on it are completely indistinguishable from what's found in "real" blogs on the subject), but will provide another place for liberals to make fools of themselves (and anyone else with even vaguely liberal outlooks, by association), by acting like rabid idiots.

I mean even if the text is real or not the positive comments for it are real at least right? which basicaly means that there ARE people in this world that think like that.

it's kinda freaky if you ask me. And why did they have to use a Japanese ukiyoe painting as an example there's plenty of naked children paintings in normal church ceilings or is it alright for old farts to marry thirteen year old girls *shiver*
