You lost your credibility and perspective when you used the term "liars" and "reich wing" and exhonerated Olberman.
To "Anonymous | 7:50 a.m." other than hanging up on uncivil callers and proving that the left is wrong, what have Beck, Hannity, Lumbaugh done that is so uncivil? People like Bill Maher have called America stupid, yet that doesn't seem to bother you, why is that, could it be that you are so partisan that anything that goes against your preconceived ideas is automatically wrong and evil?
Why the left continues to give Obama a pass on his agenda and associates is beyond reason.
Why didn't he know this?
Because he listened to Fox News tell him about Obama being a socialist as "evidenced" by the government taking over all the car companies.
You have a conservative message? Fantastic! But it is cruelty to prey on the weak minded who cannot discern fact from exaggeration.
The segment is called Worst person in the World. All of Countdown is tongue in cheek
When Michael Musto or Joel McHale comment about the #1 story which is usually about a Celebrity doing something stupid then you know Sarcam abounds.
I wonder? Is it because KO hates Am Idol and the Beckster loves it that all the love for Glenny and animosity for Keith exists?
This may be true, but to the befuddled and easily manipulated, angst-filled and insulting rhetoric on the airwaves has presented a brand new type of addiction.
And with any addiction, psychological problems are sure to follow.
Plus you should actually read what Beck says about his list. He says "Since czar isn't an official job title, the number is somewhat in the eye of the beholder." So, how do you know that what Beck's definition is of a czar is the same as the person that says that there are were 35 czars under Bush. If you read the factcheck article on this, they admit that Beck's method of counting a czar is different than the media's method.
If it were a Christian nation there would be poor people but no one would go to bed hungry or die from hunger.
If it were a Christan Nation there would be poor people but no one would be sleeping in the streets and there would be no homeless people in this "Christian nation"
There would be no one dying because they don't have health care.
That is the biggest lie that one of the afore mentioned jerks have ever told "this is a Christian nation"
Hannity also once said that homeless people choose to be homeless.
Another big lie.
The nutcakes from the right are becoming more and more desperate. Instead of defending their outrageous propaganda, they tell people to just use the OFF button.
Funny, Dale wasn't telling anyone what to do. He was merely just stating the facts that the nutcakes seem to admit now. That their media is a desperate, lying, deceiving, and full of entertainers.
If it looks like a rat and smells like a rat, it probably is.
Your right leg shorten up on you again? Cause you just can't seem to decide whether or not you're down the middle or leaning far right. Didn't you say you're an Independent? I distinctly recall you posting that, so do you really have a voice in the convo that counts, or are you just stirring the pot for your own amusement?
=============
RedShirt is a Hypocrite of the worst kind.
He says he's Independant,
He says he's Libertarian,
He says knows the definition of the word "Liberalism"
But, he's actually a ulta-extreme-right-wing-nut-cake.
Sad.
Don Gale is another person to add to the far-right's demonization list.
The modern American conservative movement simply cannot function without angst, hatred and enemy after enemy.
So, you are suggesting Obama is "lying" about how many states there are in the U.S.? Really? Not that he was very visibly tired and just misspoke when he said "50" pause, "7."
Get serious.
Liberalism: the quality or state of being liberal or you could say such a philosophy that considers government as a crucial instrument for amelioration of social inequities. Or a more simple definition is somebody who believes that the government is the solution to any problem.
To "@redshirt | 9:10 a.m." his book is "Arguing with Idiots" not "talking with idiots". If you are an American you are, to quote the liberal Bill Maher, stupid. So, what is wrong with that? You don't seem to mind being called stupid by a liberal, but if a conservative does it you get offended. Also, since when is calling somebody an_idiot_uncivil?
To "@ redshirt | 9:26 a.m." I hate to break it to you, but an independent is somebody with no political party membership. A conservative is somebody who believes in a small government.
Olberman, Moyers, Maddow, and Rather, on the other hand, try to deceive their listeners, pretending to be truth-perveying journalists when they in fact are no different that Beck and Hannity.
The sad thing is that so many left-slanted people still cannot differentiate between journalism and opinion.
This is why at the rate it is going, will never amount to anything that resembles any political clout.
A state chock-full of Limbaughites.
==============
Here, I'll post it for us all to see -- not your Hannity, Beck, Limbaugh twisting of the TRUTH...
Liberalism
1 : the quality or state of being liberal
2 a often capitalized : a movement in modern Protestantism emphasizing intellectual liberty and the spiritual and ethical content of Christianity b : a theory in economics emphasizing individual freedom from restraint and usually based on free competition, the self-regulating market, and the gold standard
[Merriam-Webster]
Keith Olbermann, graduated from Cornell with a degree in communications.
Bill Moyers, graduated from U of Texas, degree journalism.
Dan Rather graduated from Sam Houston State Univ. with a degree in journalism.
O'Reilly, MA from Boston College in journalism
Beck, Hannity, Limbaugh--high school grads.
But happiest?
He's gotta be kidding.
Maybe there is a correlation there though, as Utah also leads the nation in anti-depressant abuse.
I guess anti-depressants are supposed to make you feel better - right, RedShirt?
Haven't you figured it out yet that this poor attention-starved fool is just another Right-wing Limbaugh/Beck wannabe?
The way to stick it to these wretchedly angst-filled types is to be even MORE liberal.
HA HA, this is so funny. Get this - "a theory in economics emphasizing individual freedom from restraint and usually based on free competition". How many of you would say that the far left radicals in the White House and congress are all about INDIVIDUAL FREEDOM, RESTRAINT AND FREE COMPETITION??? Bascially, just reverse that statement 180 degrees and you are pretty close to the truth. Obama is all about government control and less freedom, ZERO RESTRAINT SPENDING WISE, and squashing all competition!!!!
if that is journailsm I will take "right wing" entertainment - it is more credible and less arrogant
Liberals (all of us were born that way - live and let live)
Conservatives (what on earth ever happened to these poor wretches who can only think in terms of black-or-white?)
For you to argue with the official term from a dictionary shows who the fools really are.
Best of luck
Conservatives will still be stuck naming their streets after generals, presidents, and now talk-radio pundits. (pathetic!)
And of course, Limbaugh and Beck are national heroes to you also.
It is not enough that Liberals have the White House, both Houses of Congress, NBC, MSNBC, ABC, CNN, NY Times, LA Times, CBS, and on and on. All dissent must be silenced. All opposing voices must be shut down. That is why FOX and talk radio are still under attack.
Protective of the unborn.
Skeptical of Obama's policies.
Opposed to gay marriage.
Against wholesale mandatory lifestyle changes based on global warming theories.
For capitalistic, free-market solutions.
For inviting God back into the public square.
For moving beyond constant racial nit-picking.
Against federal solutions for every problem in society.
Against moral relativism.
For Peace through Strength.
For the idea of America as the light of the world.
So, basically live and let live with fellow liberals, but subject all others to endless ridicule and mockery for their silly, outdated belief system.
Go ahead and come back with your own list of conservative intolerances, they certainly exist, but to say liberals "live and let live" any better than conservatives is laughable at best.
