Why do I think "I reject it, I reject you, and I reject your position!" will become the New Hot Fark Political Meme?

It's a perfectly valid thing to say. The issue is more:
"Where's the evidence?"
"You are a bunch of libs! I reject your position!"

This sounds rather like a conversation I had with a certain person in a thread a few hours ago...

But did he DENOUNCE him? Rejection alone just isn't good enough anymore.

I demand DENOUNCING!!

There once was man named Lou Dobbs
Who really liked shish kabob
But some immigrants
Stole poor Lou's pants
And now all he does is just sob

It's not a secret. It's called Interstate 35.

Let's see.. Everyone on FOX, Chris Matthews, Katie Couric.. ok, Lou Dobbs is officially on the list of people too stupid to be on television. A Mexican could spout bullshiat just as well for half as much money.

Every time O'Reilly has a guest on, he has a stack of papers with studies/statistics listed. There's actually sometimes a moment of awkward silence when he's flipping through them to find the part that supports a point he's going to make.

I have had the theory confirmed a million times on Fark that people who bash O'Reilly don't actually watch him.

Um... you've never seen O'Reilly get so flustered he cuts to commerical or cuts his opponents mic?

You need to watch the show more then (or don't, it sucks)

I watch it often. And when he cuts his opponents mics, it's when they won't stop talking. Some try to get on his show as a guest, and then have a prepared speech that doesn't address his questions. I'd cut the mic too if I were running a show.

Here ya go: Skip to 3:58 if you are pressed for time, but the whole thing is funny. O'Reilly cuts the mic off of a 29 year US veteran for disagreeing with him before she gets to make her point. (new window)

That's about as blatant as it gets.

Dobb's Mexican wife will take him to the cleaners at the divorce. You think he's angry now. And her divorce lawyer will love to get him on the stand -- nothing like a meltdown in court.

Oh you mean when people won't answer questions and just want to drone on about their unrelated talking point and he interrupts them to ask the question again and they still don't answer it and go back to their talking point so he cuts their mic?

Or maybe you mean the idiot from Daily Kos who was on the show and acted like such an incredible douche that he had to be removed?

 
Bacontastesgood 2008-05-24 04:40:18 AM  
What the fark are they arguing about? That there is or is not a plan to actually have bigger roadways that connect Mexico and Canada through the US?

Are you farking kidding me? This is like arguing about whether or not the ice cream section at the grocery should be expanded, because some people are obese.

Maybe Lou got a peek at Bill O's ratings and said " If you can't beat them then join them"???

Bill O's viewers surpass the rest of the cable news channels put together and then some.
Sooo lets hear again who is stupid , lying, right wing whore.

You can shoot the messenger but Lou was on the Border Problem long before most others.
Good news there about a bloated government that has a difficult time doing anything right.
No arrested OTM's [ other than Mexicans]that have been caught in this country illegally have been released with a promise to appear slip since July of 2007.
That's good news at least.
Bad news is they still haven't caught the ones that crossed the border with an elephant with a nuke on it and a Mariachi Band escorting them.

What amazes me about Bill is his total disdain for facts.
and yes I read the rebuttal that he has "notes and stuff" he reads from. I know it's hard to face those "facts" he has in his hands but when you try to tell people that George Soros is the most dangerous force in the world because of his money and influence while you're cashing checks with Rupert Murdoch's name on them is not just a little but a lot hypocritical.

Ok, I'm taking bets - satire of dumb racist Dobbesian, or actual xenophobe?

Given the understanding that ignorance is almost religiously embraced and
a that functioning democracy depends on an educated electorate, we have
created a scenario where we will no choice but to face a severe challenge.

Unfortunately, this is not a partisan issue, both ends of the spectrum work
towards brainwashing the useful idiots to bolster their cause, even though
the outright misrepresentation of information by the people I listed (above)
would assuredly make Goebbels green with envy.

Good luck you three, the country bought into your lies and got an education
in exactly where that would take us.

Would anyone be able to show that in the Soviet Union there was a similar
1/3rd of the people who blindly supported the government until there was
no government left to support? I believe these are representatives of the
American equivalent of that group and I believe, if we let them, they will
do the same thing to our country as their counterparts did in Russia.

And this is exactly why the next several elections have to keep control from
the lunatic assemblage. We can and must be successful in this, for ourselves
and our children, if not the entire world.

on this memorial day weekend, let me say that i'll start forgiving billo for being a lying, stinking, no good, low down dirty, frog-eyed weasel, the day he apologizes for his slur on air against the troops of the 82nd airborne in wwII on the issue of the malmedy massacre . in a nutshell billo accused the 82nd airborne of the warcrime when it was the americans themselves, who were the subjects of execution at the hands of the SS.

DblDad: Why is Lou so afraid of this?

Maybe I'm reading that map wrong but the northern end of the proposed I-69 extension terminates at Lake Huron. You can already hang a left in Flint, MI to take the I-75N to Canada. WTF is the controversy?

 
Bob16 2008-05-24 10:11:37 AM  
As a far leftist I'd vote for Dobbs in a second if he were running.

Like Ceaser Chavez (who held protests against the use of illegal immigrant labor) Dobbs is one of the few who is actually speaking out on the latest strategy by the elites to drive down wages.

Illegals are nothing more than scabs.

Since when did liberals start to defend scabs ?

Since Conservatives started using their existence as a shield to cover up their own wrongdoings.

>> Since Conservatives started using their existence as a shield to cover up their own wrongdoings.

Well that was a smart move.

Check the numbers and you find the ones getting screwed by the use of illegal labor are the poorest americans.

I suppose it's good to know who the real allies of poor americans are and who is going to throw them overboard to defend somebody from another country whose first act here is to break the law.
