Still Think They're Not Evil?

As I'm sure you're aware, we're nearing the end of Cover the Uninsured Week. To honor the week, the right-wing thinktank American Enterprise Institute (you might remember them from such nutballs as Newt Gingrich, David Frum, and Richard Perle) hosted a special conference yesterday. Can you guess what they called it?

How Not to Cover the Uninsured

Nice. I love it when they come right out and say it.

At the very least, you guys have at least conceded an apt title for your blog.

Peace to you and your one-sided conversation.

If you're really resourceful, dig up a clip of Jon Stewart's appearance on Crossfire and apply any and all comments he makes to yourselves (as well as those you rail against, don't get me wrong).

There's a better way that what you're doing, but I just don't see the flicker of interest or exploration here. I guess I think the kindest thing I can leave you with is the wish that you someday (and someday soon) burn out from your present state as you pass through the atmosphere of reason and into meaningful dialogue (such as Jim Lehrer or Tim Russert...both dems).

I wish you could edit this crap.

That's, of course, "...better way than you're doing...".

If someone wants to pay us Jim Lehrer or Tim Russert money, I'll be glad to evenly and respectfully present both sides of the story: our side (which is the only right one and is totally awesome) and the other side (which is wrong and totally retarded).

Yeah right. As if Tim Russert or Jim Lehrer have ever presented anything but the conservative point of view.

That aside, I don't know what your problem is, Brad. Like I said back in that other comment. Sometimes there just is no compromise. I'm not going to say, "I understand the wealthy's needs for more tax cuts, but I think it's maybe kind of perhaps important to look after the poverty stricken."

Bullshit! The superwealthy don't need another $500K off their taxes. They should give a little something back to the country that made them super rich.

So I don't know what sort of fairness I can apply other than the truth and good natured snarkiness when snark is what's called for. It's not like I make anything up, which is more than one can say about conservatives.

PS - Brad, maybe you didn't see Tim Russert's interview with the president before the election, where Tim was barely visible on screen because he was too busy kissing Bush's ass.

Read The Daily Howler if you want specific examples of his outrageous conservative bias.

I saw the interview; it was weak.

So is the argument that because their incomes are large, their regognition of some valid points on the conservative side of various conversations are dishonest (or illegitimate). Kerry was richer than all of them...I hardly think that you accused him of the same.


Yeah right. As if Tim Russert or Jim Lehrer have ever presented anything but the conservative point of view.

This right here...you're totally, totally nuts. I'd put them both in similar catagories as Joe Lieberman or Joe Biden. They're not falling off the map like you guys are, but the both have left-of-center leanings (as well as personal and professional histories). To lump Russert and Lehrer in with Fox News and Limbaugh screams "I'm Nuts!!" and I hear you loud and clear.

Good luck on your "we're perfect and brilliant; they're evil and stupid" credo. I still think you need to watch the Jon Stewart clip (of him on Crossfire) and if you tell me that he's got a conservative bias...well, that'll just have to be the end of this (which I'm hoping won't be the case).

Go watch the clip...it's worth your time, I swear.
