For them, just like "liberal" now means "Democrat" or "Democratic;" and "conservative" now means "Republican," "mean," "intolerant," "religious fanatic," "violence-prone "or "privileged," we now have another English word whose definition has been altered by the Frank Luntz Institute of Imaginative Righist Linguistics:
Joke, n.
New Republican definitions: 1.) A lie which can immediately be identified as a lie, or is disproved on TV within three days by Jon Stewart, Rachel Maddow, or Keith Olbermann. 2.) A statement so grossly offensive as to disgust fellow Republicans, and potentially lose Republican supporters 3.) A derogatory opinion of a public person so overstated and false as to be legitimately subject to suit for libel
