Poe's Law

Poe's Law is a staple in just about every religion/philosophy forum I've ever visited, especially when a new poster comes along.<p>It's easy to come across as suspiciously Poe-like on the Internet. Double credit to Colbert for pulling it off on TV.

Stephen Colbert is a good example. Seen a few people not realize he's a satirist right away.

and it does not apply to liberal ideas, does it? Remember PETA sent this thing to catch flies when Obama killed a fly on air with his bare hand? I'd say it's joke, but it's on their website: <a href="http://blog.peta.org/archives/2009/06/obama_and_the_f.php" rel="nofollow">http://blog.peta.org/archives/2009/06/obama_and_the_f.php</a>
