Is this the same person who called Harry Truman a war criminal?

When someone is that stupid, they own themselves. It's impossible for him to own anyone after saying something like this:


He apologized but that stain can never be removed.  Anyone who believes this guy is credible or believes he owns anyone, is obviously as dumb as Stewart.

Too easy of a target is why.

The problem is, FOX viewers never go back and check to see if the nonsense they are receiving is even credible or factual.  They also have a tough time separating someone`s opinion from a fact and merge the two freely.

I love this attitude amongst many gringos that "it ain't wrong when we do it".

Too bad it only works when we say it works.

Funny how Hitler's massacre of millions of human beings is seen as the worst act in the history of humanity, yet, us dropping two atomic bombs on civilian targets and killiins hundreds of thousands os human beings is ok.

Folks, this is why many people around the globe hate us.

And the fact that you're unable to distinguish the difference between the two acts is why many consider us to be idiots.  Thanks for helping that stereotype along.

http://www.thedailyshow.com/full-episodes/thu-april-8-2010-david-remnick

He uses clips from a few seconds of Sean Hannity's show.  Big deal.  I'm never impressed by people who have debates with video clips.

Wrong

He takes a Standpoint that Fox news is promoting at that time, and then shows evidence of them saying the opposite 2 months earlier...Its not a debate..its just pointing out the vast contradictions. Even though its for comedy..its still a contradiction

He shows competing video clips and then adds his own commentary, criticizing the entire network.  It still amounts to debating with video clips.  Not impressive at all.  It's like hitting the heavy bag in the gym that can't hit back.  I'd be much more impressed if he dismantled someone in a live exchange. 

But he's also a comedian, so it's sort of hard to take him seriously.

he has done that as wellll...but back to the "debate with video"



Does it matter...if this day they are saying "this is great this is great" and then he shows that 3 months prior "this is crap this is crap" What does it matter if he adds commentary. The fact remains, there was a blatant contradiction...

What am i missing here...

You're missing the fact that he is not giving a person the opportunity to respond to his comments/criticism.  Maybe the sound bites are being taken out of context.  Maybe the person would admit making a mistake.  Maybe they simply changed their mind.

You're missing the fact that most contradictions that Stewart points out (that I've seen) deal with opinion.  If Fox has 2 different broadcasters giving their opinion and it differs, the so-what.  If Fox is giving the news and contradicts, then I think it's a fair criticism.

Obviously Hannity didn't have a clue what the fuck he was talking about and looks like a complete ass.  But that doesn't mean another Fox commentator can't or shouldn't say something contradictory to Hannity.

Either way, Hannity is not news.  He's commentary and opinion regardless of how misinformed he was on this subject.

Absolutely hilarious people would worship a comedian with an agenda to point out that a network with opposing views has an agenda. Man, I love the two party system.

I agree with this.  People often confuse news and opinion shows.  They're entirely different.

I just want to know who is part of the evil empire so I can stay away from them is all. You seem to have the inside info on this stuff that isnt privy to regular citizens such as myself so come on man dont hold out.

How are you gonna feel if I get caught by one of these groups and you could have prevented it simply by telling me who was involved in 9/11 or the cover up?

But that's what I'm saying dude: You're not pointing anything out. You're just insinuating something.

There is a difference.

It's like someone saying to you: "I think X is bigger than Y" and you replying with "I think your comment is stupid".

Do you... understand what I'm saying?

I mean, had you said "this is why I think you're full of shit: Because of [fact 1], [fact 2] and [fact 3]". That warrants some respect from me because it's going to make me think.

You're answers do not make me think.

And I don't mean this as an insult. Please.

I mean, what O'Reilly is stating as the reason why we dropped two atomic bombs on civilian targets is the very same reason Joseph Goebels gave as one of the tilting points in Hitler's posture toward the Jews: "Regarding the Jewish Question, the Führer is determined to clear the table. He warned the Jews that if they were to cause another world war, it would lead to their own destruction. Those were not empty words. Now the world war has come. The destruction of the Jews must be its necessary consequence. We cannot be sentimental about it. It is not for us to feel sympathy for the Jews. We should have sympathy rather with our own German people. If the German people have to sacrifice 160,000 victims in yet another campaign in the east, then those responsible for this bloody conflict will have to pay for it with their lives."

These are similarities of H-O-L-Y S-H-I-T proportions, the ones that would make anyone sit back in disgust. But not in the USA.

Again, these are things that are public knowledge. This is why I say people ought to read, to inform themselves. If people read they would find out that the Tea Party types are acting in a manner reminiscent of that of the Nazis.  

I mean O'Reilly has been corrected so many times any sane person would not see him as a credible voice. Yet, many do, more out of desperation I hope. Bill's discourse is remarkedly proto-fascist. I'm not making this up folks. Read up.
