Larry king!

WorldCitizen		2012-10-23 09:01:14 PM

Larry King apparently just found out he's doing this thing.

silgryphon		2012-10-23 09:01:45 PM

What the fark is that music? Holy balls that is awful

BeesNuts		2012-10-23 09:02:16 PM

Did anyone else hear that wacky farking music, or did I just have a stroke?

WorldCitizen		2012-10-23 09:02:20 PM

silgryphon: What the fark is that music? Holy balls that is awful

I think aliens just landed.

sprawl15		2012-10-23 09:02:33 PM

So I think my stream died when Larry King looked directly into the cameras. They must not have put on the emerald lens protectors to shield the electronics from his Stygian gaze.

ipsofacto		2012-10-23 09:02:59 PM

woo!

BeesNuts		2012-10-23 09:03:20 PM

Ok, so not just me.

Are we getting trolled hard? I'm enjoying it. That must mean it isn't working.

Biatch can't stop laughing about the seriousness of her message.

sprawl15		2012-10-23 09:03:50 PM

K, switched to C-SPAN. This woman seems higher than a farking kite.

silgryphon		2012-10-23 09:04:21 PM

That was alot to read there girl

Johnny Swank: It's a damn pity that the republicans decided that Mitt was a better candidate than Johnson. Telling, really.

I'll give him credit for being pro-pot but economically, he's pushing the same free market derp that tanked the economy and socially, he has far too much faith in individual states.

Johnny Swank: It's a damn pity that the republicans decided that Mitt was a better candidate than Johnson. Telling, really.

The thing about Johnson is that he's lousy on TV. It sucks that that's a deal-breaker for so many people, but there you go. It's not crippling to be a poor public performer, though. Once upon a time Bill Clinton was lousy on TV, too.

I'm thinking one of those Huntsman daughters is going to have a great future in politics, but I don't know if America is ready for a smoking hot president.

sprawl15		2012-10-23 09:05:11 PM

I think she has one of those sound activated vibrators down her drawers. Larry doesn't look like he's having a good time.

tomWright		2012-10-23 09:05:11 PM

stopjabbering and start questioning

Knowledge sharing, truth seeking, loving one another, peace and kindness, want a hit bro?

Big Bird sells the best shiat yo!

violentsalvation		2012-10-23 09:05:38 PM

Larry King looked like he was about to choke a biatch.

silgryphon		2012-10-23 09:06:18 PM

Lots of empty seats. Can't imagine why

sprawl15		2012-10-23 09:06:39 PM

"I just ask some questions and sample the interns. Pretty pro gig."

Ecobuckeye		2012-10-23 09:06:50 PM

Already better than the last 4 debates.

silgryphon		2012-10-23 09:07:30 PM

Questions are from social media sites. Should be interesting

StreetlightInTheGhetto		2012-10-23 09:08:06 PM

whistleridge: Potential audience: 760 million.
Number of those who actually have a vote in the matter: 35 (assuming there weren't any hot Fark Independent™ threads going just then).

I'll watch it later w housemates and coworkers. We're all going Obama but not necessarily Dem for lower races.

And I watch Al Jazeera on a regular clip. They have some f--king GREAT short documentary/reporting segments, and the live stream has been my go to when shiat goes down in the ME for years.

silgryphon: Questions are from social media sites. Should be interesting

So of the six questions, eight will be about pot and maybe one about gold. Then some about how totally mean it is for the spoiler effect to exist.

violentsalvation		2012-10-23 09:10:18 PM

Christina Tobin needs to stop smiling when she talks.

sprawl15		2012-10-23 09:10:49 PM

OATH KEEPER

BeesNuts		2012-10-23 09:10:56 PM

What a strangely echo-chamber-y question...

StreetlightInTheGhetto		2012-10-23 09:11:27 PM

tomWright: Johnny Swank: You know, these 3rd, 4th, 5th parties all have their heads up their asses, and I mean that in the nicest possible way. They need to concentrate on small, local elections and work their way up the food chain and gain credibility instead of this silly nonsense of just putting some schmo up for president every four years. Yes, it'll take 20-30 years, but they may would actually have a chance in hell of doing something effective.

Some of us consider them the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th parties.

SO far as working the way up, have you ever tried that?

I have, The laws and rules are deliberately stacked against them by the R and D parties in order to prevent that.

There was, once, a thriving multi-party environment in this country. after the nations political environment stabilized small parties arose. For about a century starting in the 1820's, until the laws were changed to encourage first-past-the-post elections and eliminate at-large congressional elections, replaced by single district offices.

The entire system is rigged to make it defacto illegal for an alternative party to gain traction, without expressly writing it in the law.

Agreed wholeheartedly.

Especially hate my state's BS practice where Judges and University reps are listed as non partisan... but are all nominated by the RNC or DNC. Real f--king non-partisan.

BeesNuts		2012-10-23 09:11:31 PM

Public financing though. Good stuff.

Amendment to clarify money isn't speech and corporations aren't people? Weird.

silgryphon		2012-10-23 09:11:51 PM

He's using big words. DRINK!

Ecobuckeye		2012-10-23 09:12:04 PM

Wow, first audience shot is an Oath Keeper.

violentsalvation		2012-10-23 09:12:06 PM

Awesome so they are all going to say the same thing. Stupid farking question.

BeesNuts		2012-10-23 09:12:27 PM

This is interesting insofar as it's an open letter to American Democracy. Otherwise I'm already losing interest.

The debate on Parks and Rec Season 4 Episode 21 was better.

Min5trel		2012-10-23 09:13:05 PM

Great question... if you could, please describe why you good folks are marginalized? Let's start this out as a whine fest.

Chagrin		2012-10-23 09:13:31 PM

CommieTaoist: DamnYankees: This would actually be kind of entertaining to watch. Is it being live-streamed?

FTFA: The debate is being shown Tuesday starting at 9 p.m. online at http://freeandequal.org

http://live.freeandequal.org/stream.html to be precise.

sprawl15		2012-10-23 09:13:34 PM

He will not stand for a breakfast buffet that does not allow you to stay through the changeover to a lunch buffet.

violentsalvation: Awesome so they are all going to say the same thing. Stupid farking question.

Well, everyone just hates that they're irrelevant. It's understandable. It's just interesting the different approaches they take to being mad about it.

Virgil Goode's nickname in high school was Dolan.

Downs, Kentucky.

silgryphon		2012-10-23 09:19:07 PM

Is this gonna be a debate where everyone agrees on everything?

sprawl15		2012-10-23 09:19:29 PM

Gary Johnson was farking furious about how he was elected governor. That was kind odd.

BeesNuts		2012-10-23 09:19:44 PM

This isn't a debate. It's a symposium against CPD. Which it should have been in symbol only. Ugh.

violentsalvation		2012-10-23 09:20:37 PM

This isn't a debate.

danknerd		2012-10-23 09:20:42 PM

I think he was pissed that he was told he would never make it

trotsky		2012-10-23 09:21:17 PM

Where's RON PAUL? Oh, right, he's a GOP shill who's too much of a pussy to risk his congressional seat. His legions of stoners and know-nothings, whom he is a god too, must be disappointed. At least Gary Johnson, or should I say GARY JOHNSON, has the balls to run as an actual Libertarian. I may not agree with him but I can respect him..

So, how many Russians will be voting this year?

danknerd		2012-10-23 09:21:42 PM

its just the first question, settle down bucky
