"A very common, almost defining feature of satire is its strong vein of irony or sarcasm, but parody, burlesque, exaggeration, juxtaposition, comparison, analogy, and double entendre are all frequently used in satirical speech and writing. The essential point, however, is that "in satire, irony is militant"[2]. This "militant irony" (or sarcasm) often professes to approve the very things the satirist actually wishes to attack."

I have mixed feelings. Clinton's tactic piss me off. But, this fight is registering new Democrats all over the place. It is also proving that Obama will be able to take the Republican attack machine. Clinton's "hard working white voters" would still be racist if she weren't pushing the meme that a black guy can't win. So I'm not sure there is a real downside, other than I'm sick of this damn primary.
