For the first minute or so I thought he was a genuine Right Wing whack job. But then it became obvious he's a Colbert Nation member using satire and sarcasm to really drive home the points, and thus do I love him. ;)
... And if you stand in front of the Orlando police advocating killing people on the spot for feeding the homeless, nobody in uniform bats an eyelid.
Perfect satire is the balance between the vile and the absurd, and you know it's perfectly poised when your response is halfway between tears and hysterical laughter.
He's playing it fine, though. If the cops were just a little smarter, he'd find a nightstick in his kidneys.
Sarcasm can definitely offer a more weighty statement than direct opposition. Sometimes, I imagine a society in which all conversations are based on sarcasm, and all the news is fake news. Fake as in the Daily Show and not Fox News, though, it has to be *intentionally* fake news
