Stewart Takes on Lamestream Media Treatment of Ron Paul, Bachmann Bribes Voters

By Tuesday August 16, 2011

This type of manipulative reporting is just disgusting. It’s amazing that we have to rely on a Comedy show to hear some semblance of thruthiness. BTW, apparently Bachmann won her votes the old fashioned way, she PAID for them. Douchebags, all.

    #38–Nextlie==Abo didn’t say that, I did. but let’s parse your equally idiotic response:

    #21 “I will support just about any system that provides a social safety net (food, clothing, shelter, medical care, education, jobs)…”

    You forgot the iPad. You really should move to Norway. It’s that type of thinking that developed the “projects” and we know how well they worked out. /// OR–we could learn that “the projects” is NOT THE WAY TO DO IT and try something else. You know—learning based on experience. Its called THINKING. Something label hanging dogmatic liebertards are loath to do.

    Lets not forget the housing bubble caused by Dims trying to give a home loan for a McMansion to every idiot that would vote for them. /// If that was all that happened, it would have been a bump, not the catastrophe we are experiencing now. Not even good spin. Who does that shit sell to?

    We might as well have the WPA or CCC back. /// Agreed. Good alternative to the military or Peace Corp. Bravo. One bright idea==doesn’t even matter you don’t support it. Ha, ha. I did say it was a good idea.

    Which of these social programs today are solvent, well run, and a success? /// Gee, thats 3 criteria. What alternatives do you have that match them? To that end, and its all definitional Soc Sec and MediCare are successes and well run and solvent again all by definition. What in Amerca is “well run” by your lights?

    Freedom my ass. You are trying to put (working) people in a financial straitjacket. /// Yes I am by making tax paying SLAVES out of Billionaires. Which would you rather be?

    Dope.

    I’m voting straight Democrat. Many of them are idiots also but they’re less likely to confuse economists with MBA’s.

    #43–Easy Ed==I commiserate. Sad when all we have to vote for is mostly idiots, but I agree at least the dims aren’t mostly idiots AND anti-American out to destroy the Middle class.

    Warren Buffet anyone?

    Maybe it is time for Benjamin to get on the Ron Paul Peace Train. The guy really makes sense. Those in power are so afraid of him, they have to treat him like the 13th floor of a hotel. (Jon Stewart’s words, not mine.)

    McCotter and Herman Cain make sense too.

    # 42 bobbo, “because she “won.” ”
    Point to Bobbo.

    It’s hard to understand why anybody gets excited about the Ames straw poll.

    Not only is it “non-binding” but it’s greatest success is picking the loser of the later caucuses. The winner of the poll almost always loses the caucus.

    Animby–did anyone get excited? I thought it was amusing the way many pieces were prepped to show how unrepresentative the straw poll was and how it does pick non-winners and then they go ahead and report on it anyway.

    Slow news day?

    But I admit I was shocked by the Ron Paul news blackout. There are dark powers arraigned against him, and by that I mean Faux Spews, and by that I mean Rupert Murdock. I thought that stupid bastard had other closer things to worry about? Must be earlier memo’s, even those from two years ago still circulating around.

    I’ve heard some reporting that most of Ron Paul’s positions have been adopted by the Republican powers that be but he should still get fair coverage even if he is going to lose? Why not–Backman does. Ha, ha.

    Yes, the whole process is not just meaningless political theater, its meaningless political theater IN YOUR FACE STUPID ELECTORATE. Same with everything the Pukes do.

    After the name calling, the vitriol, hyperbole, and pontificating==I really don’t know how the Pukes score more than a 15% vote from the public.

    As a group, we really are just this stupid.

    IN YOUR FACE!!!!!

    Ha, ha.

    # 49 bobbo,”I really don’t know how the Pukes score more than a 15% vote from the public.”

    Robby – did you know that you don’t even have to be Republican to vote in the Ames straw poll? So. it’s entirely possible that Bachmann may have paid $30 each to Democrat “agents” supporting her because they believe she’s the easiest candidate for O’Bama to beat.

    Truly a strange event.

    “You know—learning based on experience. Its called THINKING.”
    Are you really illiterate to make a statement like that?

    “If that was all that happened, it would have been a bump” No one said that was ALL that happened. Read what I said not what you think I said.

    “Agreed. Good alternative to the military or Peace Corp. Bravo.” Thought you would like this one you socialist.

    “To that end, and its all definitional Soc Sec and MediCare are successes and well run and solvent again all by definition. What in Amerca is “well run” by your lights?”

    That argument sounds familiar, “It depends upon what the meaning of the word ‘is’ is.”.
    Then the evasive tactic of answering a question with a question.

    “Yes I am by making tax paying SLAVES out of Billionaires.” Never gonna happen bubba. Read Warren Buffets lies on paying taxes.

    Pompous jerk

    bobbo…the Fox “News” narrative more likely comes from Roger Ailes than Murdoch. Specifically, Grover Norquist and Ailes, together. For whatever reason, they don’t like Paul, maybe because they know they can’t control him, like they will control all the others. Looking from the outside, it seems clear they will pick the winner.

    The Fox guy at the end of the Stewart piece gives up the game. Anyone who feels Fox is a legitimate news source, or that what they do is simple equivalent to “the liberal media” should (but won’t) see with this example that it’s all a big fat lie. Fox “News” is a sham, and here’s the proof.

    #37 – Hot damn, you actually said something I agree with fully.

    Except the society vs humanity part. The purpose of humanity is American society. If America is not preeminent and driving SUVs through urban sprawl, humanity’s existence is pointless.

    #62–Nextlie==pompous jerk? Ha, ha. Should make it all that much more easy to knock me down a notch or two. As a blowhard, even three?

    Goooooo!

    #55–Amoeba==whats the deal with SUV’s? They are top heavy, slow accelerators, and can’t take curves. Surely you should at least allow for overpowered sporty models. My next door neighbor had a Ferrari. On occasion I would go to work early enough to leave the same time he did. It was fun to race him light to light until the freeway on ramp. Beautiful car—his, not mine.

    Or maybe a van. I love a car you can sleep in. Seems like home.

    Its turtles all the way down.

    #56 – Tahoe, Suburban, Avalanche, etc. Has to be able to through a foot of unplowed snow, or a little off road yet hold 4 adults plus a weeks worth of camping gear comfortably for 600-800 miles in one day to get somewhere cool. Trucks or SUVs. Some of the corssovers look interesting but they’re a little small.

    Or the vehicle has to be big enough to haul a full size refrigerator or washer and dryer. In our case the washer conked out in an unrepairable way, the same day we drove 50 miles to the appliance store, loaded up a new one and I put it in that night.

    Cars can be fune but are too small for a primary vehicle. They’re good for slot 3 in the garage.

    I use “SUV” to distinguish from cars, however any privately owned vehicle beat any form of mass transit any day. Modern humans should have too much dignity to ride mass transit.

    #33,

    #21 – Why? Why does society owe a saftey net to people who may not have ever contributed back to that same society in any way whatsoever? Also, you’re making a mistake by equating society to gov’t action.

    We the People, in order to make a more perfect society decided, that’s why. If you don’t want to be part of that society then fine, I hear Mexico has some very fine free market venues available. As does Somalia and Afghanistan.

    Here in America, we voted for our representatives to enact these policies. Far and away, Americans support our social safety net AND higher taxes.
