Jon Stewart slams Fox News
Jon Stewart and Fox News have been trading jabs all week over Stewart’s “go fuck yourselves” comment made on the air. Fox struck back while trying to maintain the high ground, slamming Stewart for not challenging his own bias. Stewart (below) does a great job of reminding Fox on the difference between comedy (including social commentary) and news… or at least the news Fox purports to relay. This is a very funny piece.

And here is one of the bits that led to the Fox response… another great piece of video in which Stewart slams Fox on their own hypocrisy. The relevant portion starts after the 5:00 mark.

Not gay enough?
OK, this one maybe isn’t so much “funny ha ha” as it is “funny bizarre”. And it also serves to demonstrate that idiocy in our nation isn’t confined to the right-wingnuts. It (idiocy) may be at home there, but it roams both sides of the political spectrum.
Here is the tale of how three bi-sexual softball players got tossed from a team for not being “gay” enough. Is it just me, or does this strike anyone as being something that gays would be extraordinarily upset with if heterosexuals or bisexuals did the same thing to them?
Not gay enough for softball team?
Bisexual men sue amateur sports group for discrimination
msnbc.com…The men say they were forced to answer “highly personal and intrusive questions” about their sexual interests and private life, including whether they were “predominantly attracted to men” or “predominantly attracted to women.”
At one point during the proceedings, the lawsuit alleges, one of the plaintiffs was told: “This is the Gay World Series, not the Bisexual World Series…
Repeal…. and pluck?
The GOP, deeply entrenched in the unrealistic notion of “repeal and replace” in regard to the health care bill, now seem to have a new strategy… at least if Senator Harry Reid’s Republican challenger has her way.
Ummmm…. yeah… I’m starting to think that Reid is likely to find his way back into the Senate.
Not so funny ha ha…
We’ll end tonight by restating what has been said here previously and which Fox and others continue to deny…. that the vilification of the left from the wingnuts is at a dangerous level, and promises not to end well.
Thus, let’s take a look at clearly recorded comments that have been made by right wingnut celebrities against Barack Obama and the left. Let’s see how many of these are truly appropriate commentary for civil discourse and debate.
This comes from The Huffington Post:
#6 from Victoria Jackson, formerly of SNL
“My motivation is gone, because [Obama] will punish me if I’m successful. That’s how you start communism, is just take — Cuba. Obama wants to be Castro.”
#5 from Jon Voight
“The American People are witnessing the greatest lie that is cleverly orchestrated by President Obama and his whole administration. President Obama feeds people poison, giving them the idea that they are entitled to take from the wealthier who have lived and worked in a democracy that understands that capitalism is the only truth that keeps a nation healthy … [Obama uses] a socialistic, Marxist teaching, and with it, he rapes this nation…” (emphasis added)
#4 from Stephen Baldwin
“Homey made this bed, now he has got to lay in it…Barack Obama is the greatest gangster to ever come out of Chicago…He’s a cultural terrorist.”
#3 from Ben Stein
“Seventy-five-thousand people at an outdoor sports palace, well, that’s something the Fuehrer would have done.”
#2 from Ted Nugent
“Obama–he’s a piece of shit and I told him to suck on my machine gun.” (emphasis added)
#1 from Chuck Norris
“Mr. President, as more and more people realize that you are refusing to release your original birth certificate, further questions will fuel the fires of debate or at least hinder the embers from ever being snuffed out. Questions such as, ‘Does it really contain the Hawaiian physician’s name?’ ‘Does it disclose something other than his birthplace that he wishes others not to see?’”
Our vote is for Voight as the worst of the lot, but it is clear that they were all dropped on their heads (repeatedly) as children.
