Superconservative superhero comic
Apparently, Liberality For All, a conservative persecution sci-fi fantasy comic book, in which cyberbioengineered G. Gordon Liddy, Sean Hannity, and Oliver North fight against an ultra-liberal Chelsea Clinton/UN-ruled America, is for real. But is it serious or tongue-in-cheek a la Team America? Click the "Next" link at the bottom to flip through the pages... Via DailyKos (scroll way down to "CyberHannity Saves the World"). There is a synopsis of the comic here. Also see Tom Tomorrow's take on it.

Something Awful's take is much, much better.
Hmm, well it's five sentences anyway.
You don't put G. Gordon Liddy, Oliver North and Sean Hannity together in anything but a punchline.
I'm all but positive it's a joke on everyone, as much on Liddy as on Chelsea. Just because he can't see that doesn't make it less true.
This reminds me of the punk band I was in at 19, whose antics I won't recount here. But the point is that all this ambiguity is could be giving the author quite a thrill right now. It might have even been the point in and of itself. I don't think this necessarily has to fall on the lib/con spectrum we're used to.
