- Maddoktor2, on 09/15/2009, -28/+544Oh, Jumping Jesus Christ on a Pogo Stick...which is it? Kenya or Indonesia?
WILL YOU IDIOT ***** BIRTHER RACISTS MAKE UP YOUR GODDAM MINDS ALREADY? - awinters, on 09/15/2009, -34/+532I wish I could say "wow" but this is pretty much every day with the Republican Party now.
Anderson has the right approach. You don't have to attack these people, they are so blinded by their hatred of Obama that they speak without thinking. Just let them talk.
They make themselves appear so uncivilized and ignorant and I think the fact that Obama hasn't responded in kind and has maintained his civility is only making them angrier. They want him to stoop to their level so they can feign outrage by his uncivilized behavior. The more he continues to show his superiority, the more enraged they get. - niradg, on 09/15/2009, -53/+473the tea party movement has lost whatever little credibility it had
- awinters, on 09/15/2009, -19/+312I feel sorry for the few people in this movement that are genuinely against Obama's policies because they are completely drowned out by these people. If you aren't in this because you're ignorant, racist, hateful, uncivilized sore losers, you need to find your own leader and separate yourself from these people immediately because the longer you stay under leaders like this, you will be judged by their behavior and intent, not yours.
- Apokalyps2547, on 09/15/2009, -18/+279Oh, they lost their credibility on day 1 when they proved that they have no idea what "representation" means in "taxation without representation".
- rabidjester, on 09/15/2009, -4/+200“Never interrupt your enemy when he is making a mistake.”
- Lightstab, on 09/15/2009, -5/+197Obama is a Kenyan, Indonesian born Communist Socialism Fascist Muslim Radical Christian, who hates Jews and White People, even his Jewish chief of staff, the white people on his staff and his white mother and grandmother. I thought that was clear? No?
/s - SpyderTaco, on 09/15/2009, -13/+188Did anyone else find it hilarious when James Carville couldn't stop laughing?
I mean, I know this is a serious issue, but the man has every reason to laugh. These people are NUTS! - inactive, on 09/15/2009, -31/+196They never had any creditbility you know. At least i didn't think so, my opinion... Anyone not ideologically insane and already bigoted, racist or profit and/or politically motivated to live off the back of this hideous ignorant beast knew that months before they even called it "tea party" or any other damn name. But then maybe thats to harsh, you could have ben fooled a bit but whats your excuse after this one then?
I don’t call "it" names because I’m a leftie or liberal or any of that other *****. I voted for Reagan and Bush, I am a center right conservative secular republican, or at least I used to be; now obviously I am an EX-republican…
I call this *****… *****… and that is just describing it and its behavior. Anything else is trying to tell lies about the dog crap I just stepped in…its really gross with a wretch inducing smell and a shuddering effect at coming in contact with it kind of *****. Period, end of story.
The remnants of the GOP are nothing but hostile ignorant racist, bigoted hate filled god knows they hate something, church crazy, out of their every loving mines whacktards.
Note I say GOP because to belong to these mobs you are not a “working class American” as this giant douche bag tries to claim… You are but 21% of the country and over half of you believe in the Birther and deathers ***** your demagogues are ejaculating into your empty skulls every day from cable, radio and sadly…DC and the GOP…
And ***** you for trying to, after having hijacked republican, conservative and damn near Christianity as your homes and self descriptive of you and your brain dead ***** up ignorance now you want to claim you represent “working class Americans?...pfffft…***** you and ***** that again…
You may indeed be working Americans but you are being dishonest not to include…
“White, bigoted, racist, gun crazy, politically retarded, church crazy, creationist, murdering, sedition & secessionist, liars, panderers, fools, ideologically insane, scared, ignorant, white backlashers… etc and on and on I could go…working class Americans…”
But what you aren’t… is this… average working class or even average real Americans as you like to claim.
You are the bottom end of of all we are… you are criminally irresponsible panders for profit or political or church power mad ***** and leaders of mobs of ignorant easily led mobs.
So piss off you treasonous mangy piece of Fox led ***** and die before you claim any more of what I am that you are not.
***** the Right…
Nothing but lies leading the ignorant and who in America thinks we need that?
Good lord, make a note please…
Health care needs to include emergency lobotomies for the real desperate cases... - MiddleAmerica, on 09/15/2009, -27/+183The victims of 9/11 are rolling over in their graves.
- joculator, on 09/15/2009, -5/+159Interesting that the "left" bashed Bush in order to prevent an unnecessary war that killed thousands of young Americans and tens of thousands of Iraqis, and the "right" attacks the current President in the same way for attempting to help millions of Americans deal with the oppressive cost of healthcare.
The Republicans sure have messed up values. - Apokalyps2547, on 09/15/2009, -5/+131I agree, civilized discussion from the Right is being drowned out by the lunatic fringe. Moderate Republicans need to start fighting back against the loonies, or risk losing their party forever.
- AmazingSteve, on 09/15/2009, -5/+130Just smiling an not saying anything to an angry idiot ALWAYS sends them over the edge.
- Crimeodial, on 09/15/2009, -14/+133You can't destroy your credibility if you never had any to start with...
- JlmAWP, on 09/15/2009, -6/+115There you go assuming they have minds to be made up.
- Probatus, on 09/15/2009, -1/+99Kendoesia. Its a country and a fighting style.
- Ouze, on 09/15/2009, -5/+102One of these days, I'd really like to see one of these right wing nutjobs explain what exactly the problem would be if he WAS a muslim.
- inactive, on 09/15/2009, -14/+107No problem with the sentiment but...
They never had any, anyone not ideologically insane and already bigoted, racist or profit and/or politically motivated to live off the back of this hideous ignorant beast knew that months before they even called it "tea party" or any other damn name. - pintomp3, on 09/15/2009, -1/+94Because his comment is getting buried.
- lolerskate, on 09/15/2009, -6/+98The stupid it burns!
- T8erT0T, on 09/15/2009, -7/+83...this guy is turning the phrase "working class american" into a euphemism for racist--and that's just awful.
Mark Williams is drinking more than tea. - brandozilla, on 09/15/2009, -2/+72...why are you in a grave?
- charm803, on 09/15/2009, -4/+71That's how he's acting? How can Obama act like an "Indonesian Muslim?"
! - magus_melchior, on 09/15/2009, -6/+72The reactions from Carville and Gergen are absolutely priceless. Very nicely done, Anderson.
- ShingoEX, on 09/15/2009, -15/+77I'm ashamed to be a part of the same species that still shows such a level of obstinate ignorance and hatred.
- sithmaster, on 09/15/2009, -0/+60I love when Carville says hey if you want to align yourself with a guy that calls the President a "racist in chief" then here is your guy.
It really discredits the whole tea party crap they were trying to do. I do feel bad for the guests because neither of them should have had to share a stage with a loony like that.
It is kind of amazing how long they let him ramble on though. - vinod1978, on 09/15/2009, -9/+69@niradg - The teabag movement acts like it was the Obama administration that created the marriage between corporations and congress. It was deregulation that led to the financial collapse which was largely pushed during the Bush administration by financial lobbyists.
The Bush administration has sent 5,157 soldiers to their death in unnecessary military actions that has actually made us LESS safe, and wasted nearly 3 trillion dollars - yet this movement is calling Obama a liar?
Idiots. - inactive, on 09/15/2009, -8/+68lol.. ;)
- KingGorilla, on 09/15/2009, -1/+59You forgot Nazi
- greendalek, on 09/15/2009, -10/+65As a conservative I DESPISE the fact that these raving wackaloons are in any way my "bedfellows." And I hate the fact that they co-opted our long-incubating Tea Party idea and made it into a freakin' laughingstock. They really do destroy the credibility of EVERYTHING they touch. I know I can't be the ONLY conservative who deeply and fervently wishes that some kind of degenerative vocal chord disease would swiftly take the collective larynxes of these nutjobs.
Dear Republican Party leadership: please disown these racist space-alien religious wingnuts. Like, entirely. Sincerely, a dues-paying member - Anomaly100, on 09/15/2009, -7/+62James Carville said, "When you call the guy (Obama) a welfare Indonesian Nazi, there's no room for negotiation." And he's right. He called Obama a "racist-in-chief"!! How the hell can we "reach across the aisle" as Prez Obama wanted when we get this kinda talk? It's hard to hear the sane ones when they're overshadowed by the lunatics.
- ThsGuyRightHere, on 09/15/2009, -4/+58"because this is just an ad hominem attack on the movement that is really irrelevant to the constitutional, philosophical, and financial objections many of us have to Obama's policies"
Help me out, how is quoting someone an ad hominem attack.
"...campaign of not responding to/answering/rebutting/reporting the claims of the conservative opposition, but of delegitimzing them"
Isn't that what the right is doing here? I think you're projecting sir.
"they then pretend the opposition's actual arguments and facts have been rebutted and rubbished."
Look, no one is holding a gun to the GOP's head or anyone else and forcing them to embrace the crazy. If you don't like the fact that everyone's focusing on the myriad arguments that are coming from the right that are in no way grounded in reality while ignoring the handful of legitimate arguments, maybe it's time for conservative and republican leaders to quit lending credibility to the nutjobs. The conclusion one is left with is that if conservatives focus on issues of substance they'll either lose the debate or worse yet end up with some kind of compromise. - AmazingSteve, on 09/15/2009, -14/+66Time to stop pandering to the nutjobs GOP or you going to be in the same position two decades from now. these people aren't helping you in any way, shape , or form, they're just painting you as a party of lunatics. There's nowhere NEAR enough of them to ensure an election win as evidenced by the 2008 run. You pandered to them and you got crushed. "Stay the course failed" for 8 years maybe you should actually LEARN that lesson.
- Liverboy, on 09/15/2009, -13/+62AC asks the guy on the left if he thinks the vitriol is qualitatively different that what we have seen before and I think the answerer missed an opportunity there. Arguments can always be made about the whether the types of attacks are more or less justified or defensible between what's being said about Obama and attacks against Bush and Cheney back in the day. I think the real difference is that the LEADERSHIP of the GOP is not only not disavowing these more wild outrageous statements, they are actually echoing, forwarding, and originiating some of them. You never tended to see that so much from the Democratic leadership. In fact, many on the left were just as frustrated with Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid and some of our representatives for not investigating or even countenancing potentially viable claims of illegal activity as we were with the alleged perpetrators.
I'm probably biased, though. (A statement one is not likely to hear from the the right) - Lightstab, on 09/15/2009, -1/+48DerangedPenguin, I have asked you time and time again to release evidence that you didn't rape and murder a little girl in 1990 and yet, you still haven't done it. All my suspicions would vanish in a matter of a few hours. Unless of course, you are really hiding something.
- inactive, on 09/15/2009, -10/+56I did, I agree, and I will never hold or consider in any way being a part of anything that needs political alliance with any of this ***** ever again... I swear on all I hold dear as a reasoning average working middle age white raised in rural real American living in Georgia, a capitol EX-republican and a father.
The country just doesn't need this...what possible use are they?
I support my president and my country.
You ***** in that have to choose...ideology and a word or two like conservative or your country.
Me I choose my country, keep my faith to myself, decide issues based on some reason and thinking and they can have the stupid words.
And if you can't let go of the words to mean what they are to these people in the reality of what they are doing then you had better get fighting against all this crap to save whatever shreds of your words don't currently mean “political child pornography” already. - ClosedCaption, on 09/15/2009, -3/+49http://video.google.com/videosearch?q=hannity%20on ...
Hannity upset over people calling Bush a liar and anti-war protestors. What a difference an administration makes. - spworm, on 09/15/2009, -5/+51as a non-american, please could I ask all americans to keep talking about it.
Cos this ***** funny as hell. - neognostic, on 09/15/2009, -5/+48Their brains have been replaced with Chocolate Maypo!
- jaykoo21, on 09/15/2009, -0/+42It's called cognitive dissonance. You site a 2000 year old book as the very blueprint of how you live your life. Then you oppose things like marriage between two people you don't know, or someone's right to choose to continue a pregnancy. However, you conveniently forget about the part that says to care for the less fortunate and to love others as you should love yourself.
You claim to live one way, yet you do the exact opposite. - EarlOfLade, on 09/15/2009, -3/+44If that is what you think, then you:
1. Have no idea what socialism is
2. Need to know that nothing the Obama administration has done nor will do, has anything to do with socialism.
3. Are a complete imbecile retard. - ProjectGSX, on 09/15/2009, -5/+46Keep in mind this is the same Right that got behind Palin. That isnt too far from lunatic fringe to begin with.
- ThsGuyRightHere, on 09/15/2009, -1/+42Williams tried to present himself as marginalizing a minority of the tea party protesters as sitting on the fringe and thus tried to distance himself from them. Cooper's reply to Williams was to quote his own blog past that flirted pretty heavily with lunacy. That's what I'm stating is far from ad homine, hence my reference to quoting someone.
Regarding the more general discussion, an ad hominem attack certainly does constitute a logical fallacy in a vacuum from a logic point of view. But in everyday life (not to mention court rooms) credibility becomes an issue as well. The birthers, who apparently can count Williams among their number, suffer from a lack of credibility. And unfortunately the insanity coming from the majority of the tea party protesters drowns out and damages the credibility of the handful that might present a legitimate argument. - MiddleAmerica, on 09/15/2009, -34/+74That's amazing!
On 9/12 2001 I was thinhinking the same thing! - johnnr2, on 09/15/2009, -9/+46Shows true colors at last.
- tastypaste, on 09/15/2009, -2/+39No one took away his credibility, he doesn't have any. His own comments have damned him. No one made him say Obama was an Indonesian terrorist.
- MoneyShot, on 09/15/2009, -8/+45Stop talking about them then. I wish more people truly understood the feedback loop:
People say stupid ***** --> Generates buzz on Digg/Reddit/Twitter et. al --> Media picks up on and reports what's "new and hot" in an effort to sound relevant in the discussion --> People see stupid ***** gets attention and try to "one up" the last fool.
*None* of this ***** moves the discourse in this country forward. It's not news when stupid people say stupid things so stop coming here to comment on these "stories." Stop caring about these people and they will go away. - MelissaOfTroy, on 09/15/2009, -2/+38just like how Glen Beck needs to come out and address what happened with that girl in 1990. if he has nothing to hide, why not just address it?
- publiclurker, on 09/15/2009, -0/+36And you forgot how he hates flag pins.
- EmperorOfCheese, on 09/15/2009, -1/+37They would just claim he made the FBI give the results he wanted. You can't argue with crazies.
