Fox Condemns Sykes’s Act: If A Talk Radio Host Compared Obama To A Terrorist, He Would Be Fired
Fox Condemns Sykes’s Act: If A Talk Radio Host Compared Obama To A Terrorist, He Would Be Fired
Last night on Fox News, Sean Hannity and Dick Morris expressed outrage at comedian Wanda Sykes’s act at the White House Correspondents’ Association dinner. Sykes joked that “maybe Rush Limbaugh was the 20th hijacker, but he was so strung out on Oxycontin he missed his flight,” and said she hoped his kidneys fail. Specifically, Hannity couldn’t believe that she compared Limbaugh to a terrorist, saying her jokes were far worse than waterboarding detainees. He and guest Dick Morris then claimed that if a conservative radio host ever made such a comparison, he could be fired or arrested:
HANNITY: Calling him a terrorist, comparing him to bin Laden, et cetera, et cetera, and then wishing kidney failure. Now for all the moral indignation and outrage over waterboarding, what would be worse, wishing an American citizen who has a different point of view that his kidneys fail and to waterboard a terrorist to get information? [...]
HANNITY: Now there is a double standard. Now can you imagine if we go through this list here of — what if somebody called Barack Obama, compared him to a terrorist? What if somebody wished him ill? That he wouldn’t do well? [...]
MORRIS: He would be carted off in handcuffs. And they should be. No one should make a joke about the president dying and frankly no one should make a joke about someone in political life like that dying.
Ironically, a few seconds later, Hannity asked why Sykes didn’t bring up President Obama’s tenuous link to former Weatherman Bill Ayers. Watch it:
Hannity repeatedly brings up Obama’s connection to Ayers to imply that the President might sympathize with terrorists. Of course, Hannity has never been fired — or arrested — for doing so. Similarly, Morris has claimed that Obama’s relationship to Ayers is “the equivalent of having a close relationship with Osama bin Laden.”
Over at TAPPED yesterday, Adam Serwer also rounded up many of Limbaugh’s previous statements, including his belief that Obama himself is a “terrorist attack,” Obama wants to “murder a million babies a year,” and that if UK Prime Minister Gordon Brown keeps “slobbering” over Obama, he’ll “come down with anal poisoning and may die from it.”
Of course, neither Hannity nor Morris were advocating firing Limbaugh last night.
Transcript:
HANNITY: You know, I’m thinking about this. Rush saying he wants socialism to fail. The press and she got it wrong. He wanted socialism to fail. He’s very, very specific about that. You know what’s worse than — that or the president of the United States laughing at a joke hoping he dies?
MORRIS: Yes. I mean that was a new low, particularly for somebody who was elected saying he wanted to lower the partisan dialogue. Let’s get it straight. Rush Limbaugh is one of the truly creative forces in American politics. He created conservative talk radio.
HANNITY: Absolutely.
MORRIS: He created the whole movement that group surround it . He’s a patriot. He’s a genuine American. Sometimes I don’t agree with him, sometimes I do agree with him. But to besmirch his motivation, to call him a hijacker, to wish him dead, that is not only ridiculous, it’s just so wrong in this political environment.
HANNITY: Calling him a terrorist, comparing him to bin Laden, et cetera, et cetera, and then wishing kidney failure. Now for all the moral indignation and outrage over waterboarding, what would be worse, wishing an American citizen who has a different point of view that his kidneys fail and to waterboard a terrorist to get information? [...]
HANNITY: Yes. That’s a good point. Now there is a double standard. Now can you imagine if we go through this list here of — what if somebody called Barack Obama, compared him to a terrorist? What if somebody wished him ill? That he wouldn’t do well?
MORRIS: Yes.
HANNITY: What if somebody, you know, saying that, you know, that he wants somebody to die and laughed?
MORRIS: That would be an arrestable offense. He’s president.
HANNITY: Because he’s president of the United States.
MORRIS: He can’t say that, yes.
HANNITY: But if somebody did they would be considered (INAUDIBLE) — a talk show host said it we’d probably be talking about their firing today.
MORRIS: Not just their firing. Their arrest.
HANNITY: And their –
MORRIS: He would be carted off in handcuffs. And they should be. No one should make a joke about the president dying and frankly no one should make a joke about someone in political life like that dying.
HANNITY: Where are the Bill Ayers jokes? Where’s the Bernardine jokes? Where’s the Reverend Wright jokes? Maybe I’m thinking there’s a lot of material left on the table. Are comedians afraid to go after him?
MORRIS: We’re living it.
HANNITY: All right. Good point. There it is. We got it from Dick.

There can’t be a death too painful, too long and too lonely for rush that would make me feel sorry for him.

Way to miss the point there buddy.
The point is that Hannity and Morris- who have made a career the past 2 years of inaccurately conflating Obama to terrorists- pontificate that anyone who made a joke about Obama being a terrorist not only WOULD be fired, but SHOULD be fired and carted out in handcuffs.
We’ll be waiting for Sean’s resignation shortly.
May 12th, 2009 at 1:17 pmLimbaugh is a talk show host who regularly says vulgar and inappropriate things about anyone he pleases. Obama is he POTUS. There’s a huge difference between the two, or does the Right now think that Limbaugh is President as well as head of the GOP?
May 12th, 2009 at 1:17 pmNo, they and the rest of the Republican fascists just wish for President Obama to fail so that the pesky middle class is finally eliminated, and America can become the third world corporate feudal state they have always dreamed of.
May 12th, 2009 at 1:18 pmWhy are right wingers such thin-skinned little pussies?
May 12th, 2009 at 1:19 pmWe should refuse to listen to Hannity until he fulfills his obligation to charity.
May 12th, 2009 at 1:19 pmwell, CFP, you thought you had called our bluff and now you have been thoroughly rebuked and debunked
what say ye?
May 12th, 2009 at 1:21 pmI wonder why Liz Trotta is still a Fox News contributor. She is the one who said this:
Liz Trotta Of Fox News Jokes About Knocking Off Obama
So I guess it is OK to joke about assassination.
May 12th, 2009 at 1:22 pmCFP, wishing death on rush is not the same thing as wishing death on a sitting president, sorry. He may be your king, but he’s not mine.
May 12th, 2009 at 1:22 pmI guess CFP must have crawled off to suck his thumb and whimper
I knew he couldn’t man up and admit how totally wrong he was
May 12th, 2009 at 1:22 pmThis is a straw man argument typical of right wingnut cases like Hannity. With a false premise and a bad analogy you could make the case that Washington or Jefferson committed treason. Wanda Sykes was within her “water cooler rights” to say what she did without the expectation of being fired.
May 12th, 2009 at 1:23 pmHannity couldn’t believe that she compared Limbaugh to a terrorist, saying her jokes were far worse than waterboarding detainees.
Prove it, Hanniteabagger! You’ve heard the jokes, now undergo the waterboarding. For the troops, you said.

May 12th, 2009 at 1:23 pmWasn’t Little Sean the FOX pissant who had a poll on his website asking viewers exactly which kind of revolution against the current government they would prefer?
Treason is a serious issue Sean
Joking about some fat, drug addled anti-American’s timely demise will not cause his death. Sticks and stones and all right Rush?
May 12th, 2009 at 1:23 pmThen again Republicans only ACT like bullies. They are truly piss-soaked little boys when it comes to terrorists, the truth or even jokes. What a pathetic pack of crybabies the GOP has shown itself to be. Trolls included.
CFP is just one in a long line of repug-nant trolls who come here and whine when one of theirs gets a bloody nose. Man up punk, your side is going to get a lot worse before America forgives you for what you’ve done.
May 12th, 2009 at 1:24 pmHannity asked why Sykes didn’t bring up President Obama’s tenuous link to former Weatherman Bill Ayers.
She probably didn’t bring it up because she WAS DOING A COMEDY ROUTINE!
This shows why there is no such thing as a right-wing political comedian. They can’t understand that comedy requires two elements.
1)There must be some truth to the subject
2) People have to give a rat’s ass about the subject
May 12th, 2009 at 1:24 pmWell, just in case there was ANY doubt, CFP has proven himself to be an ignorant coward….again
May 12th, 2009 at 1:25 pmhave they never seen the t-shirts and signs that are typical of republican rallies these days?
they compare obama to terrorists all the time.
ridiculous selective memory.
and limbaugh is not on the same level of importance as obama, it’d be more like if someone said something like that of say michael moore…. the right wing would never say those sorts of things about him
May 12th, 2009 at 1:26 pmBut surely we all hope Rush’s kidneys will fail. We’re only human.
May 12th, 2009 at 1:26 pmWhy don’t the Dems throw the Reps own shit back at them? Geez, she’s just an ENTERTAINER, lighten up. I guess Rush the Entertainer can’t stomach a taste of his own medicine. Some tough guy trolls.
May 12th, 2009 at 1:26 pmBig Difference:
Limbaugh is NOTHING BUT AN ENTERTAINER.
He is NOT and elected public official. Duh.
May 12th, 2009 at 1:27 pmlol, CFP, you are such a pussy
May 12th, 2009 at 1:27 pmI find myself endlessly fascinated by the irregular patterns of logic displayed by trolls.
Apparently, to our friend CFP, one must speak the exact same phrase in order for statements to be comparable.

And since when is Limbaugh viewed as the equivalent of the President of the United States, anyway?

Nothing more than dead-ender talking points. You may represent the 21% who think bush did a good job, but you don’t represent ANYONE who loves our country.
Bush is the one who made reckless power grabs. He crapped on the constitution, he lied us into a war in Iraq, he tortured, and killed people, he gave huge tax breaks to his friends, he allowed the banking industry to bankrupt the country. idiot.
May 12th, 2009 at 1:30 pmHow can anyone relate Obama to a terrorist when the Bush crime family were the ones who flew a bunch of those Saudis related to Osama out of the country after 9-11? Hmmmmmm.
Seems like BushCo values the safety of the Saudi terrorists more than Americans to me.
May 12th, 2009 at 1:31 pmTo express the idea that the most even-tempered president since Gerald Ford is engaged in a “reckless power grab”, especially after the radical unitary executive movement of the Bush White House, immediately renders any further opining from CFP irrelevant.
As if his previous comments didn’t already accomplish that task, that is…
May 12th, 2009 at 1:32 pmFAUX is run by Nazi liars. Most are uneducated, rednecks like Hannity, former construction worker, community college drop out and Glenn Beck, acive alcoholic drug addict. The right wing 18% latches onto these morons because they can relate to their hate.
May 12th, 2009 at 1:32 pmterrorists use fear to further their political agenda
right wingers use fear to further their political agenda
right wingers are terrorists
May 12th, 2009 at 1:32 pmI don’t think they really are. They are authoritarians. I doubt many of them cared until their cynical iron-fisted rulers told them to go out and be outraged. This phenomena occurs on every issue. How many right-wingers were in favor of torture and illegal wiretapping before their leaders told them to be for those things? How many of them spent their whole lives dreaming of freeing Iraq before Bush told them it was their deepest desire?
These people are empty vessels just waiting to be filled by the wishes of their right-wing extremist masters.
May 12th, 2009 at 1:34 pmHannity “Now for all the moral indignation and outrage over waterboarding, what would be worse, wishing an American citizen who has a different point of view that his kidneys fail and to waterboard a terrorist to get information?”
——————————————-
If Hannity would rather be waterboarded than have Wanda Sykes wish his kidneys would fail, then what’s he waiting for? Keith Olbermann has already promised to donate $1000 for every second Hannity endures being waterboarded. A thousand bucks a second for what Hannity says is not torture. How could he pass up a deal like that?

==========
I knew Fixed News and these “whiny” conservatives would get Wanda’s statement completely wrong ad take it out of context.
CFP, do you recall when Rush said this about MJF?
“He is exaggerating the effects of the disease,” Limbaugh told listeners. “He’s moving all around and shaking and it’s purely an act. . . . This is really shameless of Michael J. Fox. Either he didn’t take his medication or he’s acting.”
This is so true about “Sinister” Hannity:
May 12th, 2009 at 1:36 pmFor 8 years now Sean Hannity has been telling his listeners that if you say anything negative about the sitting President, you are anti-American. Now, he will have to speak positively about Obama or else declare himself anti-American. What’s it going to be Sean? We’ve shown in this election that the country is tired of your hate-mongering.
I don’t even get the comparison. Wanda Sykes didn’t say that about a President, she said it about a controversial radio personality.
Why would it matter if a radio show host compared Obama to a terrorist? Is Limbaugh’s act really comparable to being President?
I mean, fine, both are mean… but it’s kind of an odd comparison.
May 12th, 2009 at 1:36 pmAnd your leaders are working very hard to make that happen.
I hope you are the first person to starve to death if it happens.
May 12th, 2009 at 1:37 pmexcellent work, my fellow TPers
CFP really stepped in it that time
May 12th, 2009 at 1:37 pmSince when is that pus-gut fck comparable to a president? Not just any president, but President Obama.
I see CfP has been sucking at the Daddy’s cyst this morning. Just can’t give it up can you little guy? There must be something addictive in that secretion, maybe some OxyContin that the pus-gut’s system didn’t absorb.
Explains a lot about our trolls actually.

____________________________________________________________
If you’re going to parrot a meaningless phrase like “reckless power grab” on this blogsite, you need to defend it with some rational justification as to how Obama is either being reckless OR grabbing power. Attempting to fix the mess Bushco left behind is neither.
Flinging around phrases from the rabid right like “reckless power grab”, “wasteful Washington spending”, or “taxed to death” doesn’t impress us, unless these sound bites are accompanied by an intelligent argument for their validity.

How have your words been twisted? You said you want the president to fail. His policies are guiding the nation. If he fails, his policies fail, the nation fails. Your problem is you can’t get over the fact America voted for President Obama even though you and yours made it clear that he is a socialist, marxist, muslin terrorist. Everybody who voted heard you and voted for President Obama anyway. You and yours are laughing stocks. Look on the bright side, when rush’s kidneys fail, you can donate one of yours and you’ll be able to say you saved your mesiah.

#1 – he helps increase the hit count and therefore revenue for TP
#2 – he demonstrates how ignorant and cowardly you have to be to support the GOP
#3 – he provides entertainment to those of us who like to kill time during software compiles by ridiculing the silly positions and lack of knowledge the typical right wing coward possesses
May 12th, 2009 at 1:45 pmYou know, al Qaeda didn’t pick the WTC because they had anything in particular against the people in those buildings. They knocked down the WTC because it was a symbol of the US economy. They wanted our economy to fail, just like you do.
You and Osama bin Laden share exactly the same goal.

May 12th, 2009 at 1:49 pmHannity must think the country is stupid. I think the majority of American adults can tell the difference between Wanda Sykes joking about another entertainer (which is all Rush is) versus an entertainer (Rush) saying he wants the president to fail. People see very clearly behind the curtain, Sean, and remember quite well how many times Obama was excoriated for socializing with “terrorist” Bill Ayres (who’s an anarchist, not a terrorist; no one was killed). By the way, great job, Wanda. Very funny.

Now you want President Obama to fail. If he does we’ll be permanently relegated to third world status. We have no backup plan after this one. And you ditto heads are too stupid to understand that eventually the financial crisis will hit you too if it doesn’t end soon. But you want the President’s policies to fail. Genius.

And I’m sure you made this same argument when Bush began mortgaging our childrens’ and grandchildrens’ futures on an unnecessary $4 trillion war in Iraq.
May 12th, 2009 at 1:55 pmWho are we kidding? Wanda is what we call a comedian and Rush is what I call a JOKE. I’m disappointed with the President and the poor example of a press secretary for throwing her under the bus. Gibbs needs to learn how to complete a sentence without 3 um’s and 5 pauses. He is by far the worse person I’ve seen in that job in the last 20 years. As for the President, I think he is forgetting who put him in that office. I am getting tired of watching him try to please the whole world. Mr. President just do what we sent you there to do and forget about the noise from the extreme right and left.
May 12th, 2009 at 1:56 pmI lost half my retirement money and half of my daughter’s college fund under Bush before President Obama was sworn in. It’s just starting to come back up. But selfish bastards like you who put party of country would rather he fail to make you look good. President Obama is paying the money Bush wasted in Iraq and refused to put ON THE BUDGET. That’s a trillion dollars for NOTHING that our children will be paying. Moron.

BUSH had veto power and the lockstep Republicans would have prevented ANY veto override.
But you knew that, you’re just a lying a$$hole in addition to being a fear-addled pansy little coward
May 12th, 2009 at 2:02 pmSure we can but you rightwing nuts are so predictable, you dish out slime and dirt all day but the minute somebody dishes it back you get all sensitive and talk about how you though progressives were nice. We used to be, but just like the Jews in Germany learned the hard way about their those evil doers we’ve learned the hard way about you people. You people stole the election from Al Gore and we’re still mad as hell. If you don’t like us pointing out what scum you and your leaders are then get the hell out of here otherwise we’ll treat you like the piece of crap you are.
May 12th, 2009 at 2:02 pmI’m perplexed. First of all, I know Sykes is rather edgy and offensive as part of her style. So what was the surprise?
But even more, the criticism seems to concentrate on 2 statements:
1) Rush says he wants America to fail. That is the same thing Ben Laden says.
TRUE
2) Rush says he wants America to fail. Well I hope he gets kidney disease.
Sounds like an insult said in return to an insult. Common way of emphasizing how insulting the first statement is.
Not to mention that there is a **GIGANTIC DIFFERENCE** between saying on hate radio that you hope some deranged person blows someone away (quite possibly inciting someone who is over the line enough to do it) vs. making a hope that karma attacks someone who is actively spewing hate against you (especially when one has years indulged in drug abuse likely to lead to disease).
May 12th, 2009 at 2:03 pmYet another in an endless string of trolls who refuse to answer a direct question.
May 12th, 2009 at 2:03 pmWhen ever I see or hear Limbaugh all I can think about is how awful and terrible he must smell. As large and fat as he is it must be really difficult for him to clean himself. I guess that is one reason why he can not keep a wife. They cant stand his stench. That black guy who works for him and has to be locked up in his studio with him all day long must get paid very well to tolerate it.
May 12th, 2009 at 2:03 pmI’ve never been a huge fan of Wanda and I don’t think some of her act was appropriate. I also think that the official reaction was perfectly balanced.
That being said, it’s effing insane for the Reichwhiners to claim they have not been vile towards President Obama, and “libruls” in general.
May 12th, 2009 at 2:04 pmwell said, MapleStreet, but the lower intellect of these cowardly trolls will prevent them from even comprehending your well-thought out argument
May 12th, 2009 at 2:04 pmConservativeForProgress Says:
By 2019, the CBO said, a whopping 82 percent of the nation’s gross domestic product (GDP) will go to pay down the national debt. This means that in future years, the government could owe its creditors more than the goods and services that the entire economy can produce. How are we going to pay for this?
Well CFP you have a point there. I guess the best thing is to give the rich a huge tax-cut.
May 12th, 2009 at 2:05 pmYa know, I hate to beat a dead horse (because a, it makes you look stupid, and b, it IS dead), but Democrats did NOT take control in 2006!
May 12th, 2009 at 2:06 pmThey were elected in 2006, but did not take office until 2007!
Thus ConservativesForRegress argument falls flat. AGAIN!
Please. As much as I think Wanda Sykes was inappropriate, it’s not like Republicans have some sort of lock on better behavior – and neither, btw do Democrats. Both sides have their nutcases and people with poor manners. The comments on this blog are proof of that.
May 12th, 2009 at 2:06 pmCFP, If your daddy beat your mommy-sister to an inch of her life for mouthing off, which one would you defend in a court of law?
May 12th, 2009 at 2:06 pmmore dishonesty from CFP (and him calling ME a moron, is hilarious)
No veto was issued because the threat of a veto was enough to prevent any bills from making it to the desk of the President
But you knew that, you’re just lying as usual

Bush borrowed $30 billion dollars from them not to mention all the borrowing he he did. Keep in mind Bush never added the the cost of the Iraq war to the budget.
-Bush offered $6 billion dollars to Turkey for support in the Iraq war.
I guess you forgot what a bunch of crooks the Bush’s are. Did you forget about the S&L fiasco which you and I are still paying for? Let me refresh your memory:
Jeb Bush defaulted on a $4.56 million loan from Broward Federal Savings in Sunrise, Florida. After federal regulators closed the S&L, the office building that Jeb used the $4.56 million to finance was reappraised by the regulators at $500,000, which Bush and his partners paid. The taxpayers had to pay back the remaining 4 million plus dollars.

Neil Bush was the most widely targeted member of the Bush family by the press in the S&L scandal. Neil became director of Silverado Savings and Loan at the age of 30 in 1985. Three years later the institution was belly up at a cost of $1.6 billion to tax payers to bail out.
May 12th, 2009 at 2:07 pmThose vetoes, CFP, were bills that Chimpy vetoed against his own party line. They were overridden by Republicans.
May 12th, 2009 at 2:09 pmlol, Proud thinks I said “something stupid” because it is well above his ability to comprehend
why are you such a pussy, proud?
May 12th, 2009 at 2:09 pmProud Says:
I understand, if a Libtard says something offensive relax, it’s just a joke. But if a golf analyst says somethng offensive about the two stooges reid and pelosi he needs to be fired. What a wonderful obamanation we live in. You all just keep drinking that Obama kool-aid.
May 12th, 2009 at 2:09 pm============
President Obama didn’t say anything offensive.
matt, right wing cowards such as CFP and Proud live in abject fear of facts, so they just pretend they don’t exist
May 12th, 2009 at 2:11 pmHAHAHAHA, you f0cking fool.
To say that a comic’s routine is worst than waterboarding is a sick comment from a slimeball. seanyhorrible you are the after effects from post-douching.
Is KO suppose to pay charity $1K a sec for lasting a comic’s rountine? is this manboy for real?
teabagger repugs will go down in slime, just as they lived. I don’t see anything redeeming about this stinkin club. they are so beyond stupid, annoying and nauseating.
BTW I will donate ten cents for each sec horrible chickenhawk chickenshit lasts during waterboarding.
First horrible will have to sign a waiver stating he and his family and faux won’t have any legal recourse if anything happened; just in case, you know. I’m sure this won’t be a problem for mightydic because waterboarding is harmless.
HAHAHAHAHA THAT IDIOT!
It’s now $1,000.10 for each sec you last, tuff bozo.
May 12th, 2009 at 2:11 pmInteresting point, CFP.
Let’s take a look at the progress of the national debt:
In the Great Depression, Roosevelt tried deficit spending, but he was too timid. Then he stopped in 1937 and the economy nose-dived. It took the humongous deficits of WWII to pull us out of the Great Depression. Those deficits blasted the economy from depression into overdrive.
Of course after the war, we had to pay off a huge national debt, but during that time, from 1946 to 1980, the economy was mainly quite prosperous. We hit a bad recession when Reagan took office, and his early deficit spending made sense (though he didn’t know it). But then he continued to drive up the debt through the boom years that followed. That didn’t make any sense.
We are now headed into the worst slump since 1938, and you better hope Obama can fix it because that was not a pretty time. Unfortunately, as in the Great Depression, the extreme conservatives would rather trash the country than have our government succeed. They are much worse than Bush.
In other words, the massive national debt accumulated in WW2 was steadily paid down by Presidents Eisenhower, Kennedy, Johnson, Nixon, and Carter (the debt increased slightly under Ford).
Reagan “proved deficits don’t matter” in the eighties, tripling the national debt under his administration. Bush 41 continued the pattern.
Clinton reversed it, and again started to pay down the debt built up by Reagan and Bush. Then Dubya came in and decided, again, that “deficits don’t matter” and, again, almost tripled the national debt.
So please, CFP, stop whining about who’s gonna pay off the national debt. Conservatives don’t give a crap about the national debt until there’s a Democrat in the White House.
It’s called “selective outrage” and it’s very popular in right-wing circles.
May 12th, 2009 at 2:11 pmCFP,
Are you into sado masochism?
Because you sure are getting whupped!
Repeatedly.
As if you’re enjoying it.
Rule of thumb. Never get into a ‘debate’ on politics and economics unless you’re well prepared and have actually researched the topics.
May 12th, 2009 at 2:13 pmTalking points regurgitated from OxyBreath and Faux News do not count (unless, like I said, you enjoy the abuse)
What changes did the Congress get to institute that Bush didn’t veto? If Bush had no control even with his unitary executive crap and his people refusing to answer subpoenas than what kind of power does this President have? If things weren’t going in the crapper under the Republicans in control of everything for 6 years why did people start voting them out? Bush started a war for no reason and instead of taxing people to pay for it he cut taxes and pushed that expense onto the backs of our children. Now you’re worried about it. Obama isn’t “incurring” all that debt. He’s paying off the debt and all the problems left by Bush who had no deficit when he took office. You people are so brainwashed it’s apparently killed your brain cells.
May 12th, 2009 at 2:13 pmDoes CFP STILL not know that Republicans controlled both houses of Congress throughout 2006?
May 12th, 2009 at 2:14 pmHave you joined the Republican insurgency yet? Since both the Republican insurgency and al Qaeda share the same ultimate goal, I guess they will be joining forces. If you guys could get the Texas Republican secessionists to join in, you would have quite the Axis of Evil going.
May 12th, 2009 at 2:14 pmCFP:
The monumental spending is designed to pay for old damages and emergency support. One of the big areas of increase is due to the fact that we have put the costs for Afghnaistan and Iraq “on the books” rather than following the old system of paying the bills with “supplemental spending”.
The dire numbers you are concerned about leave out a very important consideration. If the emergency measures we are paying for work, and needed reforms are put in place, future spending will go down due to the increase in revenue brought in by a resurgent economy.
May 12th, 2009 at 2:15 pm“mortgaging our children’s and grandchildren’s future”
You’re a Handjob-ity talking parrot, CFP. By the way, how much have these two wars cost your children and grandchildren? How mush has deregulating Wall Street cost your beloved mother-sister and babies daddy you trailer trash punk?
Do us a favor, stop turning on the TeeVee Machine. Do you know how to research anything? Have you ever taking any college classes like English 101,102 and 103? Have you applied any of these research techniques to other college classes in humanities like history? Do you have anything other than talking points from FAUX Noise? Really, I’m asking you, do you have any research experience outside of FAUX Noise?

Second, what joke (with link, please) did he make?
C’mon!
May 12th, 2009 at 2:16 pmLet’s dance, monkey breath!
Oh Pwoud, you mean when PRESIDENT Obama was livid over the fly over?
May 12th, 2009 at 2:19 pmThat was the joke?
No you’d rather she had divulged classified information then you could have crucified her over that and could have done it years earlier instead of having to wait until now. But you’re whining because one of your people wanted her and Reid shot and got in trouble. Oh he didn’t get in trouble. Then STFU.
May 12th, 2009 at 2:19 pmI have been reading comments on TP for several weeks, and I just want to say ‘bravo’ to the way you handle the trolls. You guys really put them in their place, and their pathetic little comebacks (which a third grader would laugh it) leave me amused and sad at the same time. Keep up the good work!

May 12th, 2009 at 2:24 pmProd, who did you feel about George W. joking about not finding WMD?
Offended?
May 12th, 2009 at 2:25 pmI mean HOW did you feel in 141.
(note to self: must proofread)
May 12th, 2009 at 2:25 pmProud, how do you incite somebody’s kidneys to fail. You CAN’T. How do you incite somebody to shoot somebody? You make stupid comments like your guy did. Oh right, and he made them about soldiers. But then when a report was issued saying that extremists were targeting soldiers to get them to do their dirty work you guys were all crying about that. You people are pathetic. Please, move to Texas and secede. You’re not fit to call yourselves Americans.
May 12th, 2009 at 2:25 pmcfp and proud are far too cowardly and ignorant to live in the Land of the Free and the Home of the Brave
May 12th, 2009 at 2:26 pmWho was harmed in the flyover incident, oh yeah, the guy who ordered it lost his job. Who ever lost their job under Bush, NOBODY. President Obama said his daughters were grounded for flying Air Force 1. And you have a problem with that. No wonder you pansy cowards believe in torture. You are too weak to handle anything. Go to North Korea where you’ll have somebody meet all your needs for authoritarianism.
May 12th, 2009 at 2:29 pmHeh, Sykes has the whole fairly and unbalanced set kissing pilonidal behind
May 12th, 2009 at 2:30 pmMore feigned outrage..
*YAWN*
May 12th, 2009 at 2:32 pmI wonder if Proud was proud of a president referring to founding documents as god damned pieces of paper? Well I think we have again shown Proud to be proud of their selective outrage and piecemeal principles…
May 12th, 2009 at 2:32 pmHey Proud, how do you think the families of the already dead 3,000 soldiers felt about that joke? How do you think the tens of thousands of injured soldiers felt about that? Oh obviously you’re not paid to think just recite ignorant talking points.
May 12th, 2009 at 2:32 pmGot a LINK? No, because it didn’t happen you lying sack of crap.

Bambi never said anything about any soldiers, but I do admit, it’s been a long time since I saw that movie
May 12th, 2009 at 2:35 pmThank you hyacinthgirl. I know that probably 90% of all the people who read these blogs never post, but we know you are out there. We expose these right-wing Republican tools mainly because people need to understand the heinous nature of their philosophy (such as it is), their lack of intellect and understanding, their total disregard for the truth, their complete subservience to the evil overlords who control them, and their willingness to destroy our country in order to give their masters complete control.
We’ve seen how dangerous these mindless psychotic drones can be when they manage to prop up their corrupt, incompetent, criminal leaders in positions of power. We must never allow that to happen again.
May 12th, 2009 at 2:35 pmYou are all correct, thank goodness Bambi is labeling all of our brave troops as potental terrorists.

May 12th, 2009 at 2:37 pmCome on now, we know that Limbaugh destroyed his hearing thru the abuse of drugs, do you really think his kidneys didnt get damaged?
May 12th, 2009 at 2:37 pmHappily independent,
… of rational thought.
May 12th, 2009 at 2:38 pmLimbaugh is too fat and hedonistic to be a terrorist. I mean, really. Can you see him on those monkey bars?
May 12th, 2009 at 2:38 pmhilarious how many right wing republicans call themselves ‘independent’ these days
at least they have the good sense to be embarrassed by their party, the GOP, and have to lie about being independent
May 12th, 2009 at 2:39 pmYou dirtbags have some nerve. RHF is a progressive like the rest of us and comes here to be amongst people with the same political ideals. And YOU, scumbag, accuse HIM of being on the payroll. Who pays you to come here and disrupt thread and defend Rush and Bush. Or do you have to post so they let you up from under the desk, jacka$$.
May 12th, 2009 at 2:40 pmProud / CFP:
May 12th, 2009 at 2:40 pmEven the sailors on Columbus’s ships that believed they would fall off the end of the earth were smart enough to obey the orders of the captain. They did not sink the ship, they worked their ass off and hoped for the best. So should you! We are all in this together.
Ok, CFP, if you don’t want to mortgage your children’s and grandchildren’s future, how do propose getting the Nation out of the mess your ‘conservative’ party has put the US in after 30 years of rule? Just saying no isn’t quite going to cut it. If no is your answer, then the terrorist have won because you and your have succeeded in bankrupting the country. Congratulations.
May 12th, 2009 at 2:41 pmThere it is. Whenever desperate toss out the name of Soros, as if that is something sinister. I guess next you”l say ACRON, and we are all supposed to act like they did something wrong too.

Hmmmmm, funny you could say that most progressives did not want to see Bush fail, but knew in order for the country to succeed after his 8 years of failure, the GOP had to be defeated in the 2008 election…yet we were accused as traitors by your ilk…Therefore if you are called a traitor, realize that in order to dish it out, you have to sometimes take it too…
Shoeless. I want our economy to succeed. I want our country to succeed. However, I believe that for our country and economy to succeed, Obama must fail. If Obama succeeds in mortgaging our childrens’ and grandchildrens’ future, our country will fail.
Face it, you only want the country to succeed if the Republicans are in power, typical Republican mindset…party over country…because you never complained when Bush mortgaged our children and grandchildren’s future with the tax cuts to the wealthiest Americans and the quagmire in Iraq. In order for your words to have any credence beyond any doubt that you are as biased as you claim we are, you would have to decry the reckless spending Bush presided over. Since you refuse to in pretending that it was only under Obama that spending skyrocketed and pooh-poohing Bush’s spending with the typical Republican talking point (but Obama’s is so much bigger!), your words have no credence here…

Uhhhh, check your facts…the Democratic majority did not take into effect until January 2007…The one veto in 2006 does not prove that the Democrats had the majority…stem cell research had some bipartisan support, just not enough to withstand a veto…and the poster was clearly talking about the do-nothing, Lock-step 109th Congress when the Republicans controlled all of Congress…
May 12th, 2009 at 2:45 pmThey don’t even have the COURAGE of their convictions. No wonder the pansies had to torture people already in prison to make themselves feel safe. Naw, they did that because they’re too cowardly to fight fair.
It makes you wonder, how would somebody who had been in prison for months be getting new information about terrorist attacks. Was Bushco letting them use the telephone? Were they getting smoke signals? If somebody was integral in a plan (big if) and they were captured don’t you think their cohorts might just change those plans. Yep, they were torturing just to get their kicks.
And all those defending and supporting the torturers should be locked up with them. That’s the way and honorable country would deal with trash.

May 12th, 2009 at 2:48 pmHey Pwoud, you little pansy ass p*ssy!
I found your “offensive” joke, right here:
Obama said, “Sasha and Malia aren’t here tonight because they’re grounded. You can’t just take Air Force One on a joyride to Manhattan.”
That’s offensive?
He was making fun of himself and his administration.
Holy Shiite, there is something seriously wrong with you.
May 12th, 2009 at 2:48 pmUnless, of course, your blinders are on, and you refuse to see anything beyond the right wing talking point range.
Mucking foron!
Bullies usually shout the loudest when someone punches back, so nobody should be surprised about this reaction.
May 12th, 2009 at 2:48 pmYeah Proud, that is really important. But just like the typical rightie the little b#tch is whining because she would have been Ms. USA except that she make her comment and got a low rating from one judge. Boo hoo. That’s show biz. You people are pathetic wusses.

May 12th, 2009 at 2:51 pmAh, I see Proud responded after I began to compose post 183.
So let’s review:
Obama’s joke about an ill-conceived photo op in which no one was injured… offensive.
George W’s joke about failure to find WMD that were used to justify an invasion of a sovereign nation, ultimately leading to the deaths of thousands of US soldiers and hundreds of thousands of Iraqis… not offensive.
Got it.
So what was it about Obama’s joke that crossed a line that Bush’s did not?
Was it in the delivery?
The subtext?
Or was it just because one’s a Democrat and the other’s a Republican?
May 12th, 2009 at 2:52 pmAh yes, the conservatives hate the old French elite…wait they want to BE the OLD FRENCH ELITE!!
May 12th, 2009 at 2:52 pmHis deficits, however, are a small fraction of what the CBO is projecting for Obama.
With 8 years of republican malfeasance, it would be natural to assume the cost of repairing the damage done would be substantial. Too bad you weren’t here, complaining about that. It might has given you a little credibilty to speak of administration deficits. And Bush’s deficits were larger than reported, because of all the off-budget spending that was never accounted for.

He’s on the wrong side of history too and deserves to be called out on it…What is your problem with gay marriage? We’re not demanding that every church be forced to accept gay marriage, but rather the state recognize the marriages and grant full equality and equal rights to GLBT couples…It affirms separation of church and state much like the Canadian Supreme Court ruled in saying that the government had no right to force churches to start marrying gay couples if they objected…

President Obama has the same beliefs as all of us do!!!He would never be against gay marriage, or I was never for gay marriage,and I was for dijon mustard before I was against it, and his dog’s name is not shorthand for Beuaugaaard DeForrest the III. it’s named for one of the duke boys in a half-assed attempt to win some votes in Tennessee. and sykes was hoping that rush’s kid (sized) knees would fail and he’d fall down, that’s all. really. what’s wrong with you people.
May 12th, 2009 at 3:01 pmSykes, did not say Limbaugh was a terrorist, she said he WAS NOT one because he was too drugged up at the time.
LMAO.

Oh bull, Bush kept the war off budget by using emergency supplementals which adds some 1.3+ trillion to the deficits he created

Check your history books, Moron (if you know how). There were veto overrides during the time in question 2006-2008.
____________________________________________________________
There were four successful veto overrides during the 110th Congress (you know, the one with the razor-thin Dem margin).
Since you believe these four veto overrides were responsible for the collapse of the economy, the skyrocketing national debt, and every ill we currently are dealing with, let’s take a look at them:
1. The Water Resources Development Act of 2007. Reauthorized the Water Resources Development Act (WRDA), and authorized flood control, navigation, and environmental projects and studies by the United States Army Corps of Engineers. This legislation just basically continued the existing WRDA. Cost nothing (it didn’t appropriate funds for those projects and programs it authorized — such funding would have come from appropriations legislation).
2. The Food, Conservation, and Energy Act of 2007 (also known as the 2007 U.S. Farm Bill). Essentially a renewal of the 2002 U.S. Farm Bill, with specific initiatives in the bill including increases in Food Stamp benefits, increased support for the production of cellulosic ethanol, and money for the research of pests, diseases and other agricultural problems. Appropriated $288 billion over five years.
3. The Food, Conservation, and Energy Act of 2007 (again). Due to a clerical error, the act described above was repealed, forcing it to go through the same process all over again. Bush vetoed it again; both houses of Congress overrode the veto again.
4. Medicare Improvements for Patients and Providers Act of 2008. This was another routine bill that set a new fee schedule for physicians and gave incentives for efficient measures such as electronic prescriptions.
So, looking at the score, we have three overrides of bills (overriding a veto on the same bill twice really doesn’t count) — all of which were basically renewals of existing legislation.
Please explain to me how this resulted in our current economic mess. I don’t see how you can blame all that on increasing Food Stamp benefits or giving Medicare physicians a 1.1% raise in pay.
May 12th, 2009 at 3:16 pmHannity calls Obama a terrorist every time he mentions Bill Ayers. It’s known as guilt by association.
May 12th, 2009 at 3:16 pmFox said radio host. Apparently, it’s OK for a TV host to call the president a terrorist.
May 12th, 2009 at 3:17 pmHappy Liberal is channeling Myth Busters!
“I refute your reality and insert My Own!”
What a maroon.
May 12th, 2009 at 3:17 pmPathetic
Nope. But, Hannity did say all his friends were terrorists. He said he was popular with terrorists. He said he was funded by terrorists. He called him a Marxist. He called him a socialist.
That’s just a few and that’s just Hannity.
May 12th, 2009 at 3:17 pmThanks, misscoleopteramolly. I was just going to assemble that same list.
May 12th, 2009 at 3:20 pmmissmolly, surely you don’t expect an answer. Archie had no idea what he was talking about. He just threw it out there and hoped no one would call him on it. I don’t know why he keeps doing that, since he always gets called on his bullsh!t.
May 12th, 2009 at 3:22 pmWhat about her boob job?

Off topic, but great news Ms.California gets to keep her title. Chock up another loss for the Homofacists, thank goodness she agreed with Obama on gay marriage.
___________________________________________________________
I don’t think Miss California USA’s title status is going to affect my sleep one way or the other, but I think you should know that her opinion on gay marriage wasn’t what put her title in jeopardy. It was the surfacing of some pictures of her naked that caused the problem.
Oh, and it’s “chalk up”, not “chock up” — as in keeping score by chalkmarks on a slate or a blackboard. Chocks are what you put under the wheels of a vehicle to keep them from rolling.

po: ‘Limbaugh is a talk show host who regularly says vulgar and inappropriate things about anyone he pleases. Obama is he POTUS. There’s a huge difference between the two, or does the Right now think that Limbaugh is President as well as head of the GOP?”
——————————————
Boss Limbaugh is the absolute ruler of the Republican Party to whom all the Party faithful must kowtow or face his righteous wrath. So Rush has a much more important office than the presidency of the US.
May 12th, 2009 at 3:25 pmMay 12th, 2009 at 3:26 pm
I can’t believe no one has brought up John Stewart’s response:
“Bad jokes and gay marriage are destroying this country, but torture can save it.”
May 12th, 2009 at 3:27 pmWhy are our pet trolls so immune to logic?
Our financial ills are 40 years in the making. The GOP has held the White House for 28 of those years. They held the House and/or Senate for 32 of those years.
The GOP has been tested and found lacking.
May 12th, 2009 at 3:28 pmI hope Shammity continues to blather on about this….the more fringers speak the more that the GOP sinks deeper into macaca land.
May 12th, 2009 at 3:30 pmIf it’s “loon logic”, stupid troll, why was it the basis for the whole McCain/Palin campaign? It was one long exercise in attempts to smear by association.
May 12th, 2009 at 3:35 pmWanda is a racist bigot.
May 12th, 2009 at 3:46 pmThe Heritage Foundation? Are you effing kidding?
The Heritage Foundation has been wrong since 1973.
May 12th, 2009 at 3:50 pmSo far we still have free speech in this country.
The left enjoys it enormously, still bashing any Conservative or Republican who speaks out. Sometimes they bash their arguments, usually they try to bash their reputations. Then they tell them to shut up.
No one wants Wanda Sykes silenced or jailed. Some of her jokes were funny, but those against Rush Limbaugh crossed a line of common decency.
Now of course Sean Hannity needs to be fired or arrested for saying so.
Babies who can dish it out but sure can’t take it!
May 12th, 2009 at 3:52 pmSo if the “journalists” from Faux “News” were so offended why didn’t they get up and walk out when Wanda said those jokes?
May 12th, 2009 at 3:53 pmHyprocrisy alert: If a vice presidential candidate repeatedly called out her opponent as “palling around with terrorists”, the voter would fire her and make sure she didn’t get the job. Morris and Hannity have a short term memory problen, they should really see a doctor.
Now that we are discussing Dick Morris we should remember that he was a Clinton adviser. Clinton fired Morris for allowing a hooker he was with to listen in on a phone call. Whenever Dick Morris opens his mouth we should stick that in.
May 12th, 2009 at 3:57 pmThen why isn’t she a Republican like the rest of the racist bigots?
May 12th, 2009 at 3:59 pmwiz,
Yes, voters have that right to vote for whomever they choose.
Not voting for Governor Palin is not the same thing as silencing her. She has not been fired as Governor, she still has the right to speak.
The left works to silence (or now jail, it appears) opposition.
Get it now?
May 12th, 2009 at 4:01 pmUsing Rush Limbaugh and common decency in the same sentence. What a moron!
May 12th, 2009 at 4:01 pmGood, now hold your breath.
May 12th, 2009 at 4:02 pmYou’re acting like a stupid troll, again, Romartin16985. If you actually read through the thread you will see that we are evenly divided about whether Wanda went too far. Personally, I think some of her jokes were inappropriate.
What has me steamed is the ridiculous assertion that Reichwhiners have not suggested Obama has “ties to terrorists” when that’s all we’ve heard since the beginning of the campaign.
May 12th, 2009 at 4:03 pmdoodlebug lame,
How unoriginal!
May 12th, 2009 at 4:03 pmYou want common decency from a comedian but you don’t demand it from a VP candidate. You Rethugs are dumber than bricks.

May 12th, 2009 at 4:04 pmHey Roma, wanna bet Palin can’t get elected again?
May 12th, 2009 at 4:05 pmThe Heritage Foundation has been wrong on: Vietnam, solar power, green energy in general, global warming, bank regulation, Iraq and gay marriage. And that’s without even checking the list.
May 12th, 2009 at 4:06 pmaww, poor ro
he thinks a liberal using free speech to comment on a right wingers use of free speech is somehow attempting to ’silence’ the right winger

——————————————————–
Keith Olbermann also said he thought the jokes about Limbaugh “crossed the line.” I hope that doesn’t make CFP’s head explode.
I thought the jokes about Limbaugh were in poor taste and not funny. But that doesn’t mean I don’t think Rush Limbaugh is in much poorer taste every day he’s on the air as, for example his race-baiting attacks on Colin Powell.
May 12th, 2009 at 4:09 pmpete,
The point is it was suggested by TP that Hannity be silenced by being arrested or fired. Who cares about opinions of Sykes.
If the media had done their job maybe we wouldn’t be discussing “connections” now.
May 12th, 2009 at 4:10 pmif the media had done their job, no right winger would have ever been elected
May 12th, 2009 at 4:13 pmDoodlebug lame,
You have your opinion of what constitutes common decency, I don’t really care.
But don’t keep trying to silence what you don’t agree with.
May 12th, 2009 at 4:14 pmlame,
and yes, I can tell you must be saving it.
May 12th, 2009 at 4:14 pmwow, ro, you whine a LOT
you think right wingers should be allowed to say whatever, whenever, even on private blogs or else it is an affront to your free speech
but when a liberal uses their free speech to call bullshit on the right wing spew, you claim they are trying to ’silence’ people
you are one paranoid little pansy
May 12th, 2009 at 4:17 pmRomartin16985 Says: “The point is it was suggested by TP that Hannity be silenced by being arrested or fired. Who cares about opinions of Sykes.”
—————————————————
Nope. TP pointed out that Hannity said anyone comparing President Obama to a terrorist on Fox News would be arrested or fired — and then went on to imply that Obama was linked to terrorism because of his non-terrorism related association with William Ayers. TP is pointing out Hannity’s hypocrisy (which may be kind of redundant like observing that a skunk stinks). Is that too complicated for you to follow?
May 12th, 2009 at 4:22 pmQuit being a silly tit, Ro. Morris was the one who, falsely, suggested that a Reichwhiner would be “carted off in hand cuffs”. Amanda accurately pointed out that Hannity himself had indulged in similar rhetoric and had not been “carted off in had cuffs”.
No one from TP suggested that he should be fired or arrested.
May 12th, 2009 at 4:23 pmKeith Olbermann knows when to call a spade a spade.
Sean Hannity and Dick Morris use selective memory as scripture.
Henceforth, this is why you don’t quote scripture.
May 12th, 2009 at 4:25 pmSo, Ro. Did you misread the story or are you just lying?
May 12th, 2009 at 4:25 pmThe evidence is on the Heritage Foundation’s own website, stupid troll. They are proud to have been wrong on these issues.
May 12th, 2009 at 4:28 pmBut don’t keep trying to silence what you don’t agree with.
—-
May 12th, 2009 at 4:28 pmEspecially not the pornography, rap lyrics, Vonnegut books, same sex marriages, and all the rest of the crap they are always gripping about and trying to silence
Here are the relevant quotes, Ro.
MORRIS: He would be carted off in handcuffs. And they should be.
Hannity repeatedly brings up Obama’s connection to Ayers to imply that the President might sympathize with terrorists. Of course, Hannity has never been fired — or arrested — for doing so. Similarly, Morris has claimed that Obama’s relationship to Ayers is “the equivalent of having a close relationship with Osama bin Laden.”
Mr. Morris is the one who suggested people who say controversial things should be arrested. Amanda merely pointed out that Mr. Hannity has said controversial things and had not been arrested as Mr. Morris claimed he would.
So, once again, did you misread the story or are you lying?
May 12th, 2009 at 4:34 pmNo pete, I’m not lying and I’ve read the story.
Hannity has NEVER called Obama a terrorist.
He has questioned his CONNECTION to known terrorists. BIg difference. I know this is a touchy subject for you, but you must be able to see the distinction here.
We still don’t have the full story on this. In part due to Obama’s vague answers to specific questions, and because, as I’ve said before, the media has failed us miserably.
May 12th, 2009 at 4:35 pmThis fool just accused the entire Republican party of “loon logic” and he didn’t even realize it. What a buffoon!
Yesterday, a dumbass troll (I believe it was this Romartin character) accidently accused the Bush administration of war crimes, and he didn’t even understand what he had done either.
Man, I didn’t think the Republican troll IQ could sink any lower, but they always manage to surprise me.
May 12th, 2009 at 4:38 pmNo, it isn’t a touchy subject for us you fool. No one ever gave a rat’s ass about what Bill Ayers did 40 years ago. That was proven during the campaign when all the screeching by you Republican dipsh!ts about this non-story failed to have any effect.
You are a fu(king joke.
May 12th, 2009 at 4:41 pmRomartin16985 Says:
No pete, I’m not lying and I’ve read the story.
And yet you continue to say that Amanda suggested Hannity should be fired or arrested? She did neither.
Also, Morris suggested that a Reichwhiner would be “carted off in hand cuffs“. It’s not necessary for Hannity to call Obama a terrorist to make that statement false. In fact, no “conservative” commentator has been silenced as Mr. Morris suggests they would. He lied. If you support his statement? You’re lying.
May 12th, 2009 at 4:42 pmDick Morris is the most shameless political whore in Washington. He’ll say anything for anyone, if they pay him.
Of course, 90% of the time he is being paid by the Republicans, because they are the most shameless political pimps in Washington.
May 12th, 2009 at 4:46 pmwhateverless,
We know you never gave a rats behind about Bill Ayers and his connection, whatever it is/was, to President Obama. Thats really the heart of the problem.
Maybe you were hearing things; Governor Palin and Senator McCain questioned the connections, as our President was never really properly vetted by the media.
Wipe your chin, you’ve got spittle.

It’s sad but, not surprising. As long as the bottom of the Bell Curve keeps banishing anyone with a bit of moderation from GOP? They’ll get worse.
Wasn’t that “Proud”? Either way, that whole “torture works” crap was pretty damning.
May 12th, 2009 at 4:47 pmYour problem, and the problem of the other whack job Republicans is that it was not a problem for normal people. You nutcases made fools of yourself screaming bloody murder about Bill Ayers, and everyone was laughing at you fools.
May 12th, 2009 at 4:50 pmWell jeepers, Ro, FOX News explored the Ayers connection 24/7 for weeks and came up with what everybody else came up with. Nothing!
And you still haven’t explained why you, falsely, claimed that TP suggested Hannity should be fired or arrested. You either misread the story or you’re lying. There are no other options.
May 12th, 2009 at 4:51 pm.
What Dr. Hussein Matt said.
.
May 12th, 2009 at 4:51 pmYes, Pete, I think you are correct. It was Proud who got himself so tied into knots that he ended up inadvertantly accusing the Bush administration of war crimes.
What an ignoramous!
May 12th, 2009 at 4:52 pmThat’s the funny part, shoeless. If we just keep them going they damn themselves. Just like Bible Spice. It doesn’t matter who asks the questions, or what questions are asked, she just goes on to prove how profoundly stupid she really is.
May 12th, 2009 at 4:59 pmHannity and Morris were talking about someone wishing harm to the President of the United States, you nit wits, and how this is an offense.
The writer of the story then goes on to point out that Hannity has never been fired or arrested for ASKING QUESTIONS that as yet have not been fully answered as far as many are concerned.
Think about it, there is a difference.
May 12th, 2009 at 5:09 pmLate coming to the party here, but here’s what I have on my mind regarding Sykes’ comment.
First of all, I am actually in favor of her apologizing for the comment, as appropriate as it may have been at mocking Rush and Hannity. At a “roast” of sorts, there seems to be this unwritten and unspoken taboo regarding jokes; you do not mock people that are not in attendance. Most of the roasts I have seen appear to follow this rule, and those who get mocked either laugh it off or feign mock anger. Why else would Glenn Beck be laughing at President Obama’s mocking of Fox News and saying nothing about it afterwards?
However, as much as Sykes was in the wrong to mock Rush, I feel the same about those who mock Obama publicly, especially with Hannity’s above statements about linking the president to terrorism. If such comments are punishable by law, as Dick Morris alludes, then such other allusions to President Obama “palling with terrorists” should get similar admonitions.
Finally, with all this talk about people needing to be punished for wishing death upon politicians, didn’t Hannity ignore the comments made by David Feherty? Shouldn’t his comments be punishable?
May 12th, 2009 at 5:11 pm.
Romartin16985,
Yea. The difference is…
… It’s not obscene when a (R)ushpublickin does it, YES?
Go ahead, keep defending this exceptionalism.

That’s inaccurate. I have a passing acquaintance with the English language and no such statement was made in this story. I’m willing to give you the benefit of the doubt and conclude you’re confused. However, the more stubborn you get, the more I’m convinced that you are lying.
May 12th, 2009 at 5:16 pmIf romartin is still confused after 288 posts, he is even dummber that I thought. At this point, I’m going with lying.
May 12th, 2009 at 5:21 pmmax,
I’ve had to break things down for you before, its getting tiring.
I do not agree in bashing the President of the United States, whoever they are.
I do think vetting needs to be done, and it wasn’t. Therefore, questions linger.
Sean Hannity is a strong advocate for his point of view, but I have never heard him call the President a terrorist, or wished him ill will. So lets not suggest he needs to be silenced.
Likewise, Wanda Sykes has the absolute right to say what she wants (up to a point of of lawfulness, of course). Some may call it indecent, some may think its hilarious, fine. I have the right to call it indecent, but I don’t want her silenced.

May 12th, 2009 at 6:10 pmI loved it! Wanda said what most are thinking about Limbaugh, Hannity, and Beck et.al. They are Terrorist. Anyone who wants our President to fail is no worse than Bin Laden. He is a drug addict…and his rants demonstrate the ups and downs those who fall off the wagon go through. He’s a Racist idiot.
May 12th, 2009 at 6:15 pmNo 1chance,
I’ve realized that one side effect of the kool aid is the inability to tell the difference between “The President” and “The Country”. They are two different entities.
Wanting “The President” to fail means not wanting his (bad economic) policies to become law.
Do you see how this is not really the same as wanting “The Country” to fail? If one truly believes that “The Presidents” policies will harm the economic health of the country, wanting “The President” to fail is really wishing “The Country” to not fail.
May 12th, 2009 at 6:25 pmHey Ro. You still have not said whether you were confused or lying.
And, while you’re at it, can you compare and contrast the “bad economic policy” that isn’t designed to fix the damage caused by the “good economic policy” of the past?
From where I sit it looks like the economic free fall has slowed since the new “bad economic policy” has been in effect.
May 12th, 2009 at 6:40 pmI’ve answered your question pete. Maybe re-read the story at the top, see if you can find the sentence where the writer points out that Hannity has not been fired or arrested for bringing up Ayres. To me, pointing this out is a suggestion. And as I’ve said, in my opinion Hannity is ASKING the correct questions, not committing an offense.
If you disagree on my assessment, fine, but quit asking the same questions over and over again.
And yes I do think President Bush spent too much. But that was nothing compared to what’s going on now.

Apparently Dear Leader can dish it out but he can’t take it. Don’t they listen to his show? Some of the most vile and damaging comments against everyone but the far right wingnuts has come out of that cesspool of a show that he uses to poison the minds of the sheeple who listen to him. The constant battering of their feeble minds by his crap is eroding the very fabric of the Republican following. It is soooooo much like Big Brother and the 2 minute hate…….except it’s an hour or more every day. No wonder the remaining 21% is a bunch of wackos!!
May 12th, 2009 at 10:38 pmC’mon, Ro. Someone as sensitive as oneself shouldn’t have to go there. I’ve questioned your intelligence and sanity but, there’s no need to bring sexual prowess into a political discussion. Unless, of course, you’re trying to pick up hookers or teenage boys in the Senate or online or in an airport bathroom.

And that’s the most important point. If the GOP had anything left to offer? They would not be losing members. It does, however, make for an interesting experiment in natural selection. In this case, the dying breed insists on shunning the very members who could save them.
May 12th, 2009 at 11:33 pmEven the kids are getting in on the act (thanks to their ignorant parents). My daughter who is in the 3rd grade came home one day last fall and said that another girl in her class said that if Obama gets elected, he’ll kill babies.
May 13th, 2009 at 12:22 amFire Colbert from the White House! Sykes needs to shove off from her cushy West Wing job!
Oh, wait, they were entertainers hired by the hosts, the WHCA, for one-night-only gigs.
Plenty to be outraged by in this world. But this? C’mon. More manufactured furor by whiny wittle baby conservatives.

If Republicans are equated with being Racists bigots how did the Civil Right act ever pass?
Here is how the vote in favor of the act broke down by parties:

Republican Party: 27-6
The Senate version, voted on by the House:
Democratic Party: 153-91
Republican Party: 136-35
Democrats made up 77% of the NO vote in the Senate and 72% of the NO vote in the House. Now, looking at actual facts, who appears to the the true racist bigots? Also, If you remember, Lincoln was a Republican.

Yes, but back then the Republican Party held most of the current Democratic beliefs, and vice versa.
May 13th, 2009 at 12:45 pmDon’t Be A Jackass, what is the source of your informaion in #309?
May 13th, 2009 at 12:54 pmThanks.
My source is http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Civil_Rights_Act_of_1964
I also should mention that Democrats in both the House and Senate attempted to block legislation of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 several times through a filibuster. The Senate filibuster was led by Richard Russell(D)who said “We will resist to the bitter end any measure or any movement which would have a tendency to bring about social equality and intermingling and amalgamation of the races in our (Southern) states.” Thankfully, after 54 days of filibustering, there were enough Republican votes to finally end it.
May 13th, 2009 at 3:02 pmI’m sorry but, you cherry picked that information and failed to produce the regional voting block data. After this historic vote, the country literally flipped sides. What used to be Democratic states turned Republican and vice versa. Southern votes went AGAINST this act:
By party and region:
The original House version:
Southern Democrats: 7-87 (7%-93%)
Southern Republicans: 0-10 (0%-100%)
Northern Democrats: 145-9 (94%-6%)
Northern Republicans: 138-24 (85%-15%)
The Senate version:
Southern Democrats: 1-20 (5%-95%) (only Senator Ralph Yarborough of Texas voted in favor)
May 13th, 2009 at 4:04 pmSouthern Republicans: 0-1 (0%-100%) (this was Senator John Tower of Texas)
Northern Democrats: 45-1 (98%-2%) (only Senator Robert Byrd of West Virginia opposed the measure)
Northern Republicans: 27-5 (84%-16%)
Sykes is as stupid as she looks. President Obama did not correct her and let her rant on. So I say to hell with Obama. I can say the same damn things about him and he will just laugh right? Like he looks as and evil Demon with his big ears. The fact that they way he holds his chin high that if it were to rain he would drown because he is to proud to lower his chin. How he can not talk about a subject without his tel-prompter in front of him. How he bowed to Saudi King like a little girl. How he stutters when he is talking and delays are way to long before he starts talking. Has he got something in his ear where he is repeating what someone else is telling him to say?
May 14th, 2009 at 5:25 pmHow he aligns himself with terrorist. The babies he has helped to kill surely would call him a terrorist taking there lives for publicity.
Do not get me started for President Obama is even a bigger jackass then the one that just left. Obama has his thugs from Illinois telling him what to do.
Maybe I should wish that Obama gets a chicken bone stuck in his throat that can not be removed in time. What about Barry how would you like us laughing at you, choking to death? You have about as much integrity as Satan in Hell.
Limbaugh may be radical but he does not deserve a second class comedian wishisg for his Kidneys to fail. Perhaps I should wish that she would turn white. She could be a real tight ass for you then, Barry.
