Maybe comedy is not for you and maybe I'm just tired of leading a hydrated horse to water. Se la vi mon ami.

Re: Why McCain Is Getting Hosed in the Press

and first, all you have to do is look at the bailout. he says he is against it. but voted for it. he says he is against pork, but that bill was loaded with pork. he was against Bush's tax cuts, but now he wants more. he said Iraq would be easy, and the U.S. looked at as liberators. now he wants us there permanently

Re: Why McCain Is Getting Hosed in the Press

OK so you cannot back what you say.

I also cannot believe the total disrespect shown to McCain by calling him McRage, retard after the service he gave to his country. I do not agree with Obama's views but I do respect what he has done and would not show him that kind of disrespect.

McCain is many things, but a retard? Pretty harsh.

Re: Why McCain Is Getting Hosed in the Press

What do you want me to back up? McCain talks out of both sides of his mouth like clock work. Also, you seem to think he is entitled to some sort of special treatment because he served his country? I'm sorry but no one, demarcate or republican, should be allowed to getaway with stupidity. If you think otherwise John Kerry would have appreciated that kind of treatment.

I'm inclined to believe that McCain is a simple stupid man...the alternative is that he is a liar and a dishonarable man...I might be wrong though.

Re: Why McCain Is Getting Hosed in the Press

I tend to think McCain is overall a good person, but this campaign has made him lose the values and ideals that are core to him. But his catering to the base(which he has not been close with before at all) and he negative/false attacks on Obama just seem to be below the McCain people had know.

Very un-maverick, and it is just really disappointing to see.

Re: Why McCain Is Getting Hosed in the Press

And by attacks I mean:
-Ayers
-Acorn
-"terrorist"(not his attack, but he should go farther to call out some of his crazy supporter)
-and now this "socialism" bullshit. It isn't spreading around wealth, if you tax more and put those dollars into things like schools, infrastructure, etc.

I dont see why people think Obama is going to take money from the rich, and go to the inner city an give that money directly to the poor. That is just a fabrication by the McCain campaign and it is bullshit. Very low.

I think the majority of educated America realize this and they are just sick of it.

Well maybe Obama can say it better. Not so low when your man admitts that is what he wants to do.

Re: Why McCain Is Getting Hosed in the Press

McRage refers to a joke that was on SNL, so relax. I guess this just proves my point that righties have no sense of humor. Regardless, I don't have much respect for him as a politician, so McRage it is!

I guess if all the "righties" start referring to Obama as "BHO the Towelhead" then the lefties should laugh it off right?

I don't have a problem with a little ribbing, but towelhead is taking it a little too far though wouldn't you say?

Hard to say. Seems like we're just drawing arbitrary lines in the sand, so who's to say? If it's as funny to me as "McRage" is to you, why not?

How about "Karl Marx Jr."?

How about "Skeletor the Socialist"?

I'm all for political humor in the appropriate context and there's no problem with humor pushing the envelope. Humor that never rises above name calling just never struck me as that funny, at least not since I was about eight years old.

Starting nearly ever sentence or comment about a particular candidate with the SNL nickname of the day makes you look like a 3rd grader and marginalizes everything that follows it, no matter how serious or humorous. It doesn't make anyone look hip or wise to pop culture, it just makes the speaker look unintelligent.

I don't care what side of the political spectrum you're on (because it's rampant at both ends), starting everything off with a nickname is about as asinine as it gets. Why not just hold up a giant sign that says, "I'm a close minded zealot who turned his brain off and is incapable of considering an issue or at least conveying humor in something that rises above name calling." It'll have about the same affect.

For as much whining as there is about all the mudslinging and dirty campaigns and call for everyone to return to the issues, there sure is a lot of petty bickering. It's pretty obvious how things degenerate to this point of unproductive nastiness when the best anyone can muster is a play on the candidates last name.
