Republican Party

Step Away from The Comedy

This AFSCME video story involving Eric Cantor's spokesman is a great example of how some Republicans just don't understand smart comedy. Cantor's spokesman clearly thought the video was intended to be a slam again union workers, but it's actually quite positive -- it's just voiced in a satirical way. The content is entirely positive and, with the profanity as the hook, it effectively outlines the importance of AFSCME workers.

The outrage against Cantor's spokesman shouldn't have revolved around the profanity -- the outrage should've been directed at how Cantor's people totally didn't get the point of the video.
