    I am on dial up right this second and cannot watch the video.

  • gumsnapper

    MSNBC playing the race card and editing video to make their propagandistic point. Contessa Brewer claiming that gun-toters are white racists while the video of the African-American man carrying the gun outside the health care rally is edited so you can’t see his face or hands. Unbelievable. How low can MSNBO go?

    Stewart is an Obama supporter and I’m trying to figure out why he’s still bashing repubs when it’s the Dems who now hold the WH and both houses of congress. What’s the point of this video and this post? Repubs sold us an unnessary war. We know that. Let’s focus on the present and those now in power, shall we?

  • Eric Denver

    I need to bite my tongue not to say what I really want to say in regards to Mr. Jon Stewart, but I’ll say this: he represents the arrogance of both coasts, New York and California, where people think they know everything. Mocking a person’s accent and mustache and his NRA membership is like coming behind a person and hitting them with a lead pipe – very classy. Mr. Stewart doesn’t know where his beef comes from, where his wheat comes, where his milk comes from and where his vegetables come from. He thinks that as long as his assistant knows the name of the Starbucks barista who serves his $13.99 cup of coffee, all is well. Mr. Stewart is blinded by the millions of dollars he gets paid for attacking and mocking the US, Christianity, and the many great people who inhabit this great nation. His arrogance, greed and wickedness will be his downfall. Mr. Stewart is a pompous and pretentious backside, and he simply is NOT funny, not to mention that the shallowness in which he approaches this very serious subject (medical insurance) betrays his bottomless arrogance and ignorance combined.

    “Stewart is an Obama supporter and I’m trying to figure out why he’s still bashing repubs when…”

    Jon is a spinner for Obama and his fellow liberals. That is all he is.

  • Portia Elizabeth

    He may not know where his beef comes from, but the vegetables come from the Democratic Party. And he knows which side his bread is buttered on; he’s wooing all those hip young Obots who keep his show on the air. Too bad they can’t afford to buy any of the sponsors’ products.

    Not to Worry Obama’s Shovel Ready Project for Granny…Look on the bright side…Granny might be gone, but not entirely..When you miss Granny’s warm and cuddly hugs, just turn up the thermostat and you will again be ensconced in Granny’s warmth. Crematoriums in Denmark are in favor of recycling crematorium heat into the local heating system…Maybe that’s part B of Chairman of Energy & Commerce, Waxman’s plan for HR3200.

  • andysf

    Come on. Am I the only one seeing him making fun of Obama, the health care is kicking his #ss. He making fun of those who stereo typing town hall people who ask legitimi question as well as the so call educated youth. That’s dame funny. On top of all tat, he’s a comedian, not a news outfit.

  • Portia Elizabeth

    Since this is an open thread, I just want to state that Michelle Obama is an embarrassment to American women. Her shorts appearance was so sloppy she should be erased from the Best Dressed List. (Which she had no business on anyway.) Anyone who recycles her mother’s sofa slipcovers to wear Inauguration Day is not a fashion icon.

  • confusedAmerican

    The CEO of Whole Foods speaks his opinion on the Health Care Reform and now his company is being blasted.
    He is for Health Care Reform just not the one that is on the table right now.
    Apparently 90% of his employees get 100% pd insurance plus some other benefits.

    I can”t help but think that this is the craziest thing I have ever heard. How far will the Lefties go. Russell MOkhier was actually calling the CEO evil. The CEO has been known to donate his whole year’s salary to charities.
    How far will the Obama group. I hope someome is backtracking where the people who belong to SIngle Payer Action come from. For some reason I bet there is money coming from one of the Obama people some place.

    Even though Greta didnt agree with Russel Mokhier, the group does have their freedom of speech rights.

    Ahhhhh, The Dailey Show is supposed to be satire – and a comedy show. “Mocking” people is what they do. And comics and satirists been doing it for ages. If you don’t like it, kindly hit the off button, but also kindly don’t spread your own bit of pomposity around, where no one can be criticized or satirized if they are black, white, yellow, brown, green or purple. In other words, no one.

    Only In America
    Don’t be too surprised if you see a dog wearing a No. 7 Michael Vick Eagles jersey, because the NFL is allowing the sale of the customized pooch pullovers on their Web site. The customized Vick jersey will only cost fans $39.99 (plus shipping and handling)

    “Seems some people are actually outraged, outraged that First Lady Michelle Obama dared to bare so much leg by wearing shorts on a recent trip to the sweltering Grand Canyon.” Eliz.Snead-LA Times

    Since this is open thread, I would like to shared my experience yesterday.

    I dropped off my car at the dealership for some work to be done. I got a ride back home by the shuttle service of the dealer. The driver is the same senior black man that drove me home last time. He was friendly and nice, and we shared a lot of the same opinion regarding social issues the last time we spoke. We had another nice chat during the ride, I brought up the book Fountain Head as one of my favorite book, and turn out that is one of his favorite also. We talked about minority issues, since we are both minority (he’s also ¼ Native American).

    When he dropped me off, he told me to read up online by search of “white privileges, tim wise”, saying that it’s got a lot of things that I maybe agreeing with. So I did that for four hours until the dealer call to let me know my car is ready.

    The same gentlemen picked me up and ask me if I read up on it and what do I think of it. And I told him what I feel. Here is what I feel,

    I am disgusted by the so call anti-racist activist. I can not see how some minority can look at this person as our greatest comrade. Here is a man who use white guilt for his own fame. His got three books, range 13-20 dollars each, doing a lot of seminar and speech that I am sure pays. His making a lot of money, all the while calling racist and racism on everything he sees. He talked about white privileges and how bad a thing it is, but as much as he hated it, he never give up any of it. He must not think of whites who live in the trailer parks and poverty white, since I can’t see any privilege in their life. He keep telling us that we minorities are victims of this white privileges, that we are unable to make a life for ourselves even if we try. He keep saying that we needed the hand out from the society, since we can’t possible take care of ourselves without.

    I can’t see myself as a victim, nor will I ever be. This is the 21st century, and if you put your heart and mind to it, anything is possible. I am not going to let anyone tell me what I can be, not white, not black, not Asian, and certainly not some bigot like Tim Wise. If I , an immigrant who did not speak English before the age of 14 can do well in this country, I can’t see anyone who born and raise in the country in these day in age have any reason to ask for hand outs. It is precisely those so call minority leaders, white guilt liberals who keep minorities down with this crap. This is how they keep us down, how they use us for personal gain, so long as we give them the power over us. If people still can’t look past the skin color in the 21st century, then it’s their lost, regardless of which skin color his/hers maybe. People like Tim Wise keep putting doubts in the mind of the minorities by telling us the big bad real world is too much for us, that we will need people like him to fight for what ever leftovers we can get from the masters.

    None of these people, Obama, Tim Wise, Pelosi, or Jackson will do a dam thing other than giving people bread crumbs while they feast on the people‘s blood and sweat. If people are going to rely on these people to save them rather than picking up a fish pole and learn to fish, so to speak, then they deserve everything they get, minority or otherwise.

    And I truly hope those so call good intentioned guilty privileged people, liberals and politicians, will just mind their own business.

    But then again, they will lost their stage and no longer matter once we don’t need them. This is the only way they can live like parasite.

    “Stewart is an Obama supporter and I’m trying to figure out why he’s still bashing repubs …

    LOL, well what would you do if the man you supported was becoming an embarrassment? You can’t really defend, so you deflect.

  • yttik

    They don’t mock “people”, they limit it to mocking anybody who doesn’t support a their own political agenda.

    The only thing worse than this one as president is John Edwards. Imagine that he launched his candidacy knowing fully well the scandal set to blow up in his face. And Elizabeth Edwards going along even when she already knew about the affair. Was that a deliberate plan to deny Hillary a victory in Iowa?

  • tzada

    Very powerful read andysf, and I know you are correct. “They” feed off of fears and imaginitive injustice. I hope you can cross post it, where more people will read it.

    I fell asleep to one PBS show and woke up during another. It was a rant on how badly whites treated others. To be sure at some point in time we have, but I felt like all that was past and we were one nation, friends and neighbors.

    Anyhow the point I was going to make, before I drifted was. The show was something that Gates Gate was involved in. For a $50 donation you got his Roots program to do your family tree…… So makes me wonder once more about the Gates Gate. It smelled fishy then and when I find out he is peddeling a program for searching ancestry it clicked. Make him a household name and walla! Cha Ching.

    These are the posts that bring out the (semi-retired) fashionista in me.

    Simply put:
    Classless.

    There’s a way one can appear elegant in casual attire. Tailored knee length shorts were a hot item this summer. (If she just HAD to wear shorts, that is.) Wear something tailored and casual getting off the plane, and then change into the slobola outfit later.

    Her daughter even looks like she’s trying to keep her distance.

    The skinny zeros Montana “town hall” meeting has been discussed but even though we were sure it was staged not much has been said about it. Well I am reading an article at Altas Shrugs from a lady who lives there.

    It was every bit as planted as we thought and even more nonsense happened. Be sure and read it.

    I just got an email from Dick Morris’s groups that ABC is refusing to air the commercials they have put together opposing 0′s healthcare plan:

    Dear Friend:

    I have some very shocking news.

    ABC television has banned our TV ad from airing on its network.

    Frankly, I was stunned when I heard the news from our media buyer yesterday.

    Right now, our TV ad exposing Obamacare is running in 12 states.

    You can see this powerful ad by Going Here Now.

    With our success — thanks to your incredible support — we were planning to go national, so we sent the ad to the major networks.

    This TV ad simply tells the truth about Obamacare.

    It was crafted by Dick Morris, the Fox News contributor and famous campaign strategist.

    This powerful ad features a respected medical doctor — a neurosurgeon, in fact — who warns that Obamacare will decimate healthcare for seniors and others in need of life-saving medical procedures.

    As Dr. Cuffe explains in the ad, if Obama gets his way and adds 50 million new patients to the government system, it inevitably will lead to rationing of healthcare procedures and vital medicines for the elderly.

    Dr. Cuffe says universal healthcare has led to this same situation in Canada and England.

    You can see Dr. Cuffe and donate to help air this ad — Go here Now.

    We know why ABC is so afraid of the League’s TV ad. It knows the message resonates with the American people.

    This is the same network that aired an infomercial for the Obama plan directly from the White House.

    Clearly, ABC knows seniors will not be hoodwinked by Obama when they learn the truth.

    Despite ABC’s brazen act of censorship, we need to continue to run this ad on other stations across the nation and on major networks.

    Time is very short, so we really need your help.

    Please Go Here Now to Support This Ad.

    We CAN make a huge difference. The ABC decision proves we are on the right track.

    Please help us today!

    JON STUART IS THE BIGGEST JERK IN COMEDY!

    The moron, whom I used to watch regularly and even admired, is a confirmed misogynist opportunist.

    Jon’s disgusting HILLARY-BASHING was absolutely abominable!

    He JUSTIFIED DANA MILBANK and the other moron CHRIS CILIZZA’S “Hillary’s a Bitch” skit and did it while demeaning her response to that moron Congo student who asked HIllary waht Bill and “the Football star Mutabmo thought throu her mouth”!….

    Please watch the dumb ass’s skit vilifying, demeaning and deeply INSULTINT HILLARY as no other ‘comedian’ has ever done!

    Incredible! Wonder why no one objected to this! It was a segment a day or two after the Congo dumb jerk-student’s planted question…
    Please watch Stuart and I bet you will NEVER WATCH JON STUART’S DISGUSTING SEXIST commentary on Hillary Clinton — while showing the Cilizza Milabank infamous commercial to degrade Hillary…

    Gov. David Paterson blames calls for him to step aside on race

    ALBANY – Gov. Paterson said Friday he knows the reason behind the “crescendo” of calls for him not to seek re-election next year: it’s because he’s black.

    Speaking on a morning radio show hosted by Daily News columnist Errol Louis, an angry Paterson blamed the white-dominated media for pushing him to step aside next year.

    “The whole idea is to get me not to run in the primary,” he said. Paterson complained there are not enough “black” media outlets to counteract the push.

    And he suggested that Massachusetts Gov. Deval Patrick, the country’s only other African-American governor, also is under fire because of his race.

    “We’re not in the post-racial period,” Paterson said.

    “The reality is the next victim on the list, and you can see it coming, is President Barack Obama, who did nothing more than trying to reform a health care system.”

    Once more and twice again the race card rears it’s hateful head.
