did you see him interview howard dean? he wasn't throwing his punches. he really laid into him about the whole superdelegates, "electability", florida and michigan, and giving john mccain a free ride thing.

he kept it funny and civil, but he certainly gave the democratic party a real earful of constructive criticism.

/the audience really cheered when he said they should just use the will of the voters to choose the candidate

that interview (new window)

burndtdan: throwing holding his punches

ftfm

/not sure why that sounded right the other way for a second

burndtdan: holding his punches

Uh, I usually hear it "pulling his punches."

Uh, I usually hear it "pulling his punches."

god damn it. you're right.

/that was a pretty epic fail on my part

Ron Paul Revere: Ha, it got a greenlight right after I posted that. :D

i have a suspicion that if i make an ass of myself in the first few posts of a thread, it always goes green.

chuck4455: John Liebowitz should just STFU when men are talking.

Ssshhh...please use your indoor voice, lil' chucky.

burndtdan: i have a suspicion that if i make an ass of myself in the first few posts of a thread, it always goes green.

You too? I thought it was just me. I'd even considered making a habit of it with my own submissions, to test the theory, but you know, I got a rep to protect, mang.

Ron Paul Revere: This really is one of the best Daily Show segments I've seen in a long, long time. It may just be the beer, but I literally LOLed quite a few times.

I don't know, last night was a fierce competitor.

"SMOKEBOMB! OH COME ON!"

Okay, so just how many epicepic, and I'm just not all that sure that all of them qualify.

How about referring to some as "anecdotal fails"? Just a suggestion.

Over_Zealously_Apathetic: Okay, so just how many epicepic, and I'm just not all that sure that all of them qualify.

LOL EPIC FAILZ!

He also beat the shiat out of Howard Dean. That was perhaps his best interview ever.

rush_limbaugh_sent_me: I'm assuming

Yeah, you do that a lot.

What are you talking about? He would never do such a thing? Jon Stewart is an uber-liberal pundit/hack who only criticizes the right and gives democrats a free ride!

Seriously, anyone with a name like rush_limbaugh_sent_me is not going to be willing or capable of having any sort of reasoned discourse, so why bother even acknowledging its existence?

rush_limbaugh_sent_me: The Daily Show is comedy for people that blog on the Daily Worker and Daily Kos.

John Stewart reads jokes written by other people with the best of them. He's one of the funniest joke readers of all time. :)

I miss the good trolls :(

Everyone already knows where they stand on the 'issues'.*

What's more important is what we don't know about character.

Character defines the President more than some empty promises, no matter how detailed those promises might be.

/*or is stupid

hey rush_whatever

take a pill man.
preferably a DIFFERENT one this time.

big_pth: Seriously, anyone with a name like rush_limbaugh_sent_me is not going to be willing or capable of having any sort of reasoned discourse, so why bother even acknowledging its existence?

I just wanted a cheap hit. I'm never going to debate with it.

I came for Green Lantern pics and was sorely disappointed.

I've asked before but never really got a satisfying answer, so WTF, I'll try again:

What's with using "Democrat" as an adjective? What's the purpose of intentionally using improper grammar? ...I don't just mean on FARK or the internets in general, but actual spokespersons for the GOP and right or right-leaning institutions do this.

Why? For what reason? To what end? WHY??

Why? For what reason? To what end? WHY??

There's documentary evidence that the practice started as a Republican talking point tactic, but I honestly think it became so widespread that some people started doing it without meaning anything by it.

rush_limbaugh_sent_me: Obama seems to be of good character, as his associations with racist hatemonger conspiracy theorists like Wright and former terrorists like Ayers proves without question.

ooh, fun!

let's see what we can do...

McCain seems to be of good character, as his associations with racist hatemonger conspiracy theorists like Hagee and Parsley and possible terrorist supporters like Ali Jawad (new window) proves without question.

Ron Paul Revere: rush_limbaugh_sent_me: Have you ever heard of the Greek island of Lesbos? There is a Greek island called Lesbos for those of you who didn't know. "A Greek court has been asked to draw the line between the natives of the Aegean Sea island of Lesbos and the world's gay women. Three islanders from Lesbos -- home of the ancient poet Sappho, who praised love between women -- have taken a gay rights group to court for using the word lesbian in its name. One of the plaintiffs said Wednesday that the name of the association, Homosexual and Lesbian Community of Greece, 'insults the identity' of the people of Lesbos, who are also known as Lesbians. 'My sister can't say she is a Lesbian,' said Dimitris Lambrou. 'Our geographical designation has been usurped by certain ladies who have no connection whatsoever with Lesbos,' he said." So an argument here over terminology taking place in Greece.

Yeah, I submitted that with this headline and got a redlight:

Citizens of the island of Lesbos take issue with the word lesbian, file lawsuit. Mr. Garrison unavailable for comment, totally available for scissoring

I though that episode on the whole was pretty so-so, but Mr(s). Garrison shouting out "SCISSOR ME TIMBERS!" was one of the funniest lines of that entire series.

Now if you do one for Hilary, you'll have sufficient reason to not vote like the majority of the people in the country.

Lionel Mandrake:

What's the purpose of intentionally using improper grammar?

It comes in handy as finding out who's an idiot and who's capable of having an informed political discussion.

Lionel Mandrake: What's with using "Democrat" as an adjective? What's the purpose of intentionally using improper grammar? ...I don't just mean on FARK or the internets in general, but actual spokespersons for the GOP and right or right-leaning institutions do this.

It's a show of disrespect. I generally find it a useful shortcut that indicates someone doesn't have an opinion worth reading or listening to.

-as +for

rush_limbaugh_sent_me: The Haggee thing doesnt' seem to be taking off.

Which proves the point of this thread, because everybody's focusing on Wright, see the headline.

Man, wouldn't it be nice if all the Republicans in America killed themselves?

/I mean hey, as long as you guys are in the troll-feeding business, I may as well get some of that sweet, sweet attention

Ron Paul Revere: It's an UltraFark secret that I can't reveal,

Dude...you're not even supposed to acknowledge the existence of...certain things.

The ignore function makes fark readable.

He's got it made.

Dude, maybe you oughta check your shorts.

Churchill2004: There's documentary evidence that the practice started as a Republican talking point tactic

Yeah, I just googled the term and its usage, and it has a very long history, indeed.

What baffles me is how this is supposed to make Democrats look bad and/or Republicans good, when it's Republicans mangling the language.

One degree more baffling: Democrats who try to turn the tables and refer to members of the GOP as "Republics" or "Republicons."

I guess it's Silly Season...deja vu all over again.

Ron Paul Revere: Lionel Mandrake: Dude...you're not even supposed to acknowledge the existence of...certain things.

I'm kicked out, aren't I?

*sadface*

They're coming for you. Don't bother running. It only makes them irritated.

/I've said too mu{#`%${%&`++++++NO CARRIER+++

RepugliKKKan

Ron Paul Revere

I thought you couldn't talk about that.. thing.. that I don't know anything about..

It's like revealing how to get to the porn on zombo.com you'll piss off the internet secret police.

I don't know that you can easily make the case that Jon is supporting either candidate over the other. His Dean interview made pretty clear that he thought disenfranchising Florida and Michigan was a terrible mistake, the thing is if those states counted Hillary would be the nominee. Could it be he just places intellectual honesty over support for a candidate?

The superdelegates are utter bullshiat and most people know it. Good for Stewart for going after Dean on that shiat. It's sad when the GOP can claim to be more democratic in their primary process than the Democratic party.

As for TFA... awesome. The giant tub of ice cream almost made me fall out of my chair.

Shaggy_C: RepugliKKKan

Yeah...that's some silly shiat. Most of this shiat ("Rethuglicans" or "Demoncraps") stays in the wacky world of the internets, but actual GOP officials say "Democrat Party" on national teevee.

And I know those guys are smarter than that, so I am confused as to what effect this is supposed to have. Educated people hear it as improper and uneducated people (who use "him and me" as subjects) probably don't even recognize the improper usage.

I guess in just some kind of in-joke circle-jerk or something.

Newbaca: disenfranchising Florida and Michigan was a terrible mistake, the thing is if those states counted Hillary would be the nominee.

Not true. It would just be a closer race. And remember that Obama would have actually been on the ballot in Michigan if it was expected to count.

Lionel Mandrake: And I know those guys are smarter than that, so I am confused as to what effect this is supposed to have. Educated people hear it as improper and uneducated people (who use "him and me" as subjects) probably don't even recognize the improper usage.

It's supposed to be an insult, created by the founding fathers:

"... the term "democrat" originated as an epithet and referred to 'one who panders to the crude and mindless whims of the masses.'"

Or so Neal Boortz says.

I guess in just some kind of in-joke circle-jerk or something.

The very definition of the Republican Party. Their base are those most easily fooled. The morons of America.

Newbaca: Could it be he just places intellectual honesty over support for a candidate?

It's a COMEDY show. Don't take it seriously. He just likes making people look like morans for their idiocy. He probably votes Constitution Party or something.

Shaggy_C: Or so Neal Boortz says.

That carries about as much weight what "Manny - the guy who is always screaming about chickens down at the local Piggly Wiggly" says.

/that was based on a real guy
//he was named "Steve" and the actual location was an AM/PM
///"Manny" and "Piggly Wiggly" are just funnier.

rush_limbaugh_sent_me: What's wrong with using Democrat as an adjective?

It's fine to call someone a 'Democrat Senator'. However, saying "Democrat Party" is improper English, as it is a proper name. It would be like me calling you Rush_Limpballs_Sent_Me

Lionel Mandrake: That carries about as much weight what "Manny - the guy who is always screaming about chickens down at the local Piggly Wiggly" says.

The quote apparently originated with this "hero": Link (new window)

rush_limbaugh_sent_me: It is possible that Stewart's writers are just pandering to younger people who tend to vote Democrat by just writing liberal jokes for Stewart to read.

Nah, then why is he taking on the 'liberal media'? He's just as likely to mock 'Typical white people' comments as he is 'Vote for me or you're all gonna DIE!"
