DU has a laugh at the expense of the poor and homeless

This thread ostensibly attacking Repuke senator Norm Coleman caught my attention just now. Coleman gets lampooned, but the poor and homeless get ridiculed with right-wing stereotypes in the process and nobody bats an eye. All in good fun, right? Well, I noted it - and I am awaiting the inevitable "lighten up" responses one gets when the group being smeared is one nobody cares about.

When you can't tell the attitudes of the right and the left apart on a given issue, that issue is officially dead.
