Satire site fools readers by portraying Republicans in an honest fashion.

De-recommend please.

Idaho Governor Butch Otter: “The Poor Are Genetically Inferior”
http://cityworldnews.com/butch-otter-poor-genetically-inferior/

Look, I hear that… David and I debate this… but the big difference between the rich and the poor… it’s genetics. Poor people are genetically inferior, but that’s okay… [unintelligible] Don’t jump my roost about it… I didn’t make up that fact. It’s going to have to be okay, because it’s not like we can kill them [laughter from Otter]. But we need to stop spending… you know, spending so much on the inferior… It’s going to raise taxes, hurt economy, if we don’t. [unintelligible] Poor people deserve to live. I’m not heartless… [unintelligible] strict guidelines. Thank God we have religion… [unintelligible] retail… The lesser obviously can’t take care of themselves without it. I represent the genetically inferior… [laughter from Otter]. I’m bringing them jobs… the call centers… The Kuna meat packing plant… [laughter from Otter]. Inferior need to work harder now and realize that big government isn’t here in Idaho. We have to make cuts and John and Stewy back me on this…[unintelligible] the people won’t be able to compete with the superior, but let’s keep the message that they can and everything will work fine.”

1. Can we change the headline to: "Butch Otter, Nazi"? Please?

I'd like to consign Butch to a "call center," he's clearly not up to working with live human beings.

9. From the same site: "Obama Will Make Cuba the 51st State"

WASHINGTON D.C –

In a surprise move today U.S. President Barak Obama made a declaration that sent shockwaves down both sides of the House and Senate floor. “It may take my final two years in office, but make no mistake: Cuba will be our 51st state,” Obama said.

It's gotta be bullshit.

6. If you look at the other articles it's pretty obvious that it's a satire site.

Not a very clever one, but satire nonetheless.

I mean, considering that she met the description of poor for several years.

[font color="navy" face="Verdana"]This is a developing story, so I'm sure more will come from other sources. If verified, it's definitely a bombshell.

17. I'm just glad I didn't have to go to school with the name "Butch Otter".

Though I'd probably be a lot tougher today if I did.
