(Preemptive: NY Times it's not, but Cracked has some modestly funny features now and again)

This is an extreme form of intolerance, isn't it, to form a large political movement against a small minority?

No matter how badly liberals protest (giant paper-mache puppets, improv street theater, etc.) "conservatives" somehow manage to do it worse. Truly the cutting edge of suckage.

"We won in Vietnam, we'll win in Iraq!" The enraged man looks like he's going to pop a blood vessel. "Vietnam was not considered a winning situation!" "Liberal media!" I counter back.

Because it comes up every time: No, this isn't the "Cracked" you remember as a kid. They went under and a lad mag bought rights to the name.

Hm, ok. Apparently this guys shctick is infiltrating groups and mocking them, so I guess the odds are good this is real. I also see he took part in the the O.J. Simpson prank show "Juice'd." He aught to be ashamed of that, at least.

"How do you feel about the 100,000 people already dead?" "It's more like 30,000," I coldly correct. "You're getting facts from the liberal media!" "Well... that's still 30,000 people dead." "Yeah, but that's 70,000 more people still alive!" I counter, before angrily rolling my eyes and sniffing, "Liberal media!" Ha!

I wish Cracked went back to being a mediocre version of Mad instead of a mediocre version of Maxim without the lady pics (and that's not saying much).

mendel: probably not the best business decision, since, as you said, it comes up every time. Is there any follow up? Did Harmon Leon ever come clean? Was he outed?

It's likely embellished, but definitely a hilarious story. I'd love to know if that new footage is online.

Huh. OK... so he infiltrates a crazy right wing protest group, and proceeds to be the only member of the group who acts crazy*, and expresses fear for his safety by the peace protesters! *Unless he is implying: saying grace over your meal = crazy! Because we ALL know only crazy right-wing nutsos say grace. Or was it that he was reminded to be careful not to drag the flag on the ground (by BOTH groups)? That is considered disrespectful, regardless of your political leaning.
