- joeditto, on 04/25/2009, -7/+156Stewart nailed it with this comment
Stewart: Yes. "Tyranny. AKA, our democratically elected president… I think you might be confusing tyranny with losing" - novenator, on 04/25/2009, -10/+115If it wasn't so tragic, this woman would be inadvertently hilarious. Too bad she typifies the right wing extremists that are still trying to tear the country apart.
- Batfishy, on 04/25/2009, -9/+84I love it.
Being in the minority is supposed to taste like a ***** taco. - eco57, on 04/25/2009, -5/+73Minnesota by and large is a very sane state. How on earth did she get in there?
- northwatuppa, on 04/25/2009, -2/+54It certainly tasted that way when the GOP was in power.
- novenator, on 04/25/2009, -2/+43The state has been trending towards the conservatives for over a decade now. Many rural parts in the western and southern part of the state have been 'southernized', although they are still fairly reasonable comparatively. The outer ring suburbs and exurbs, especially the ones on the northern side of the twin cities up to St. Cloud have totally lost touch with their progressive Scandinavian roots, and are now a bit of a hotbed of fundamentalism filled with neocons. This is the 6th district, which is the powerbase of Michelle Bachmann and Gov. Tim Pawlenty.
- northwatuppa, on 04/25/2009, -8/+46I would have dugg this a dozen times, if I could have.
- novenator, on 04/25/2009, -4/+41See also http://digg.com/politics/Bachmann_fears_ID_cards_f ... for further proof of her lunacy
- turbodork, on 04/26/2009, -4/+39SInce you're obviously a Constitutional scholar, how exactly is Obama "***** on the constitution"? Please. Illuminate us.
- scootmandu, on 04/26/2009, -1/+34I would like to see Jon Stewart do a piece on why all the whiners, who are calling Obama's presidency a 'banana republic,' because he may want to investigate torture, in 2001BJtpr spent 9 months investigating whether or not the Clinton staff trashed the White House and Air Force One when they left.
BTW, the investigation (about 150 witnesses were called...at what cost?) found that the Clinton staff did not trash the White House, and Alberto Gonzales was furious.
The hypocrisy of the GOP knows no bounds. - dzneill, on 04/25/2009, -8/+41Uhh... the stupid... it... BURNS!
WTF is wrong with the GOP? - percypersimmon, on 04/26/2009, -2/+34she's insane. someone got a hold of a christmas letter she wrote back in '03.
http://tinyurl.com/6k73af
she mentions her daughters 'measurements.' - MrBogard, on 04/26/2009, -1/+29"If you bury me you agree with me AND YOU KNOW IT."
Is this digg-idiot version of, "I'm rubber and you're glue!"
Good one. I guess I have to digg you now, since you're clearly a moron. - amprather, on 04/26/2009, -6/+31The 2010 election won't come fast enough to get this bitch out of there.
- skneils, on 04/26/2009, -1/+25I love how hannity calls her "effective". huh? effective at what? being the most embarrassing member of congress?
- turbodork, on 04/26/2009, -2/+26I don't even live in Minnesota, but I gave $100 to her opponent (Tinklenberg) last election. I was pissed she still won, but thankfully the more this crazy-eyed moron keeps talking, the more she helps the Democratic party.
- seltaeb4, on 04/26/2009, -7/+30I'm not sure if English is your first language, but I'm pretty sure it will be your last.
- Rivetgeek, on 04/26/2009, -8/+30Are you ***** retarded? ALL of that was Bush's mess. Obama now gets to spend 8 years cleaning it up.
- inactive, on 04/26/2009, -1/+22It's funny for us because we know Michele Bachmann is full of *****. But think about all those people who are taking her seriously. For starters the 187,817 people who voted for her. Can one of them be the new Timothy Mcveigh?
- DangerCollie, on 04/26/2009, -1/+21Yeah, Republicans. Keep electing complete nitwits and then let them get out in front of the cameras and embarrass the whole party. Good work there. And really good job passing over a qualified Democrat to re-elect this moron. It really demonstrates you're more about partisanship than quality leadership.
If you're in a hole, job one is to stop digging. Good to see you staying the course in the face of overwhelming defeat. Better to be a minority for decades than get a clue, eh? - techweenie, on 04/26/2009, -2/+22Hey, numbrain conservatives: under Bush, the military officially 're-educated' soldiers in Iraq and Afghanistan on Christianity. It's in the record. Officially sanctioned. Okay with you to make the military an actual agent of re-education, but fear the possibility in a volunteer service organization?
Make any sense? It doesn't have to -- it's on Fox! - wreckosaurus, on 04/26/2009, -2/+21So that's where they're getting it... I had a guy tell me the other day that Obama was building mandatory "re-education" centers for children to indoctrinate them in socialism. I was wondering which conservative nutjob told him that.
On a side note, another conservative douche told me he's no longer proud to be an American... god I hate these people - Alphabet, on 04/26/2009, -1/+19I'm pretty sure the deficit started in 2002 when Bush was in office.
Obama is already implementing measures to stop or reduce government spending. Raises have been stopped a couple months ago already.

Regarding FISA and constitutionality of such:
Whether you agree with FISA legislation or not - and I'm still not convinced of the usefulness of it, nor am I confident that it provides sufficient restrictions against illegal surveillance - it has been tested in the courts, including the SCOTUS, and found to be constitutional. You can argue the merits, but at least recognize that.
Regarding illegal wars in Iraq and Afghanistan:
I agree that Iraq is fairly borderline in terms of legality, but Congress ultimately signed off on the action. Afghanistan, however, is difficult to quantify. In order to declare war, you must have something to declare war on. We are not at war with the country Afghanistan. We are conducting military operations against certain organizations within the country's borders. Declaring war is a lot more involved than you think.
Regarding the suspension of Habeas Corpus:
I think people are getting two things confused: habeas corpus and extraordinary rendition. Extraordinary rendition is the act of removing an individual from one country or state without due process, and transporting them to another location, generally for the purpose of "enhanced interrogation". While habeas can be and has been used to argue against extraordinary rendition the administration has already stated that this activity will no longer take place.
As to Obama's decision to allow for the suspension of habeas corpus in, for example, Bagram, it should be noted that there is a different situation there from Guantanamo. His desire to suspend habeas corpus is not a stepping stone or first step in detaining people forever - he simply wants them kept where they are until such time as a full investigation can be performed. He's coming into a ***** storm of improper and non-existent due process. His justice department needs time to investigate those held, and the evidence that is holding them, and make a decision as to whether they should be held or not.
I'm not particularly enthused about the idea of continuing to suspend habeas corpus, but I'm willing to cut him a bit of slack while he figures out what's what.
On to the Patriot Act, and whether Obama voted for it:
No, he did not vote for the original Patriot Act. Yes, he did vote to extend the Patriot Act. So why would he vote for it if he was so concerned about civil liberties? The reauthorization of the Patriot Act in the form of the senate compromise was a step forward for the Act as a whole. Obama believes that there are provisions within the Act that are worthwhile for law enforcement and national security needs. He voted to extend the Act because the compromise, while not nearly as strong on civil liberties as he wanted, was a solid step in the right direction. He did not want to remove the tools that the Act provided law enforcement.
Also note that the reauthorization included a number of provisions designed to limit potential abuse of the tools provided. It doesn't go far enough, but sometimes you have to take what you can get.
On funding the war:
You can be against the war while still funding it. What's the alternative? The military doesn't get its funding for Iraq, and needs to cut back. How do they cut back? By not committing additional resources, and removing resources already committed. Will that end the war? No, it just gives those on the ground fewer tools to work with. You would, in essence, be creating a more dangerous situation. A phased draw-down is what needs to happen - sooner rather than later - but a haphazard and clumsy attempt at ending the war by cutting off funding will eventually cost the US much more in the lives of US soldiers and Iraqi civilians that would a well planned exit. - arunforce, on 04/26/2009, -10/+26Old video is old. + it's been on frontpage already.
- Paranor01, on 04/26/2009, -2/+17One bury deserves another akchrs.
- Bojanglesmn, on 04/26/2009, -1/+15Most of the career politicians we elect end up funneling lobbyist money through their wife's business and things of that nature. We learned more quickly than most states that stars of the film Predator are far more competent. California caught on. Don't worry, maybe your state will jump on Carl Weathers.
- Alphabet, on 04/26/2009, -2/+16[citation needed]
But I just bet you heard it on fox news - Alphabet, on 04/26/2009, -4/+18mandatory community service is not the same as re-education camps. One is about brainwash, the other is about helping the community. Seriously, are you ***** stupid?
- EarlOfLade, on 04/26/2009, -2/+15Shouldn't mentally ill people be in a mental institution and not in the Congress?
Of course, some will say there is no difference between the two... - ace429k, on 04/26/2009, -1/+14I've always liked the logic that if you throw rocks at me it means you love me. We show our love with force! how poetic.
- Rivetgeek, on 04/26/2009, -3/+16"What has Obama changed other than stopping torture publicly and talking to enemies before invading them?"
In ten weeks? Thats a pretty good start. - inactive, on 04/26/2009, -0/+13Holy *****. That's ***** up.
- barc0001, on 04/26/2009, -1/+13And the Democrats thank you for it. The more she opens her mouth, the more crazy the (R) ticket looks to neutral observers, and even moderate Republicans. Divided they fall and all that. And there's a whole lotta division going on with the right thanks to her, and Rush.
- richirwin, on 04/26/2009, -1/+13I no longer consider these conservative douches to be Americans either.
So it works out. - AgeofMastery, on 04/26/2009, -2/+14Yes, because the only thing worth doing for your country is killing, right?
- Alphabet, on 04/26/2009, -1/+13@MichaelTsarion
lemme guess, you didn't read it yourself, but you "heard" about it on fox news. Now you linked to it thinking "HAHA, I GOT YOU NOW." But you STILL didn't take the time to read it, even though it's only two pages long.
There is nothing in that article that says it's mandatory or anything about imprisonment. - RoloTomasie, on 04/26/2009, -0/+12Yes, blame the 6th district- they DO NOT represent most of Minnesota.
- TriTech, on 04/26/2009, -3/+15The Bush regime proved that the republicans hate our Constitution and the freedoms it guarantees. Bachmann and the bozo she is talking to just follow in step.
- ZhiZaki, on 04/26/2009, -2/+14Have you seen Americorps in action? Have you read the documentation?
- novenator, on 04/26/2009, -1/+12Paranor, please continue calling akchrs on his trolling.
- ZhiZaki, on 04/26/2009, -1/+12What can be done to convince people ( conservatives ) that it isn't that bad? Has anyone replied back to their fears in a not entire condescending tone? I'm not trying to be a wise ass, but I am a conservative and I have my opinion/views/etc. I'm just not sure why we're not talking about it instead of yelling about it....
- warmblanket, on 04/26/2009, -0/+11if Canadians want to see the clip
http://watch.thecomedynetwork.ca/#clip158274 - ThaDRD, on 04/26/2009, -2/+12I love the total hypocrisy that Stewart points out. It's somehow OK for Republicans to complain about the same things Democrats complained of even though Bush enacted policies mirroring those they complain about.
- jitterbits, on 04/26/2009, -2/+12And which party was it that elected a has-been hollywood actor to be president. Hmmm... if only I could remember!
- tofagerl, on 04/26/2009, -0/+10Ah, the public school system. Failing you once again.
- novenator, on 04/26/2009, -0/+10agreed. They not only elected this woman once, but *twice* afterall. Most of the rest of the state seems to have a calm rationality to it though. I grew up there, and thought the whole country was like that, lol.
