i just wanted t say i love jon stewart and its about time to call out all these people who have double standards,jon does a great job he is a very funny man and keep going jon,call them out,show them who they really are and how bad they really look.i just wanted to comment also about the bow the president did and how they are putting him down about it,the problem is no one from the gop has any manners,they dont know a thing about protocol,or have consideration towards other traditions,bushed kissed a saudi prince and held his hand???????,nixon bowed,so did eisenhower bush sr.threw up on someone and cheney shot his friend in the face! obama is considerate,has manners,he shows it,they should take some lessons from him show some manners show you care instead of telling the world to kiss your butts and just showing ignorance.i think thats one of the reasons the world hated cheney,iognorance was all around him. he showed nothing but bad attitude,still does.

well i think it is a bit of obama bashing,it was great when bush was in office but now that we have a democratic president its all different change of opinion because we oppose everything he stands for. rudy is just an idiot any way,gretchen carleson bleaches her hair too much its gotten to her brain,i would love to see this trial.the trials from iraq drove me nuts we couldnt under stand the translators,and there were so many delays and court room antics.the crime didnt happen in pakistan it happend here so the trial should be here.

Dahl, Only certain representatives said those things and actually, didn’t really say them in that limited context. Still, why use that as a basis to dismiss disagreement from ANY source?

RE: Obama Bashing:

Anything the GOP said after “I want Obama to Fail” and vowing to ‘stop Obama in his tracks’ will be seen as disingenuous or Obama bashing. They set themselves up from thereon in to have an ajenda.

It is insignificant to me. Also, I’m not jealous of Janine. I hold her in high regard & think she makes a point *every* time. ;-)

Chester, nothing to be jealous of. Janine makes a point every once in a while and isn’t incessantly just nipping at people’s heels like some bothersome little chihuahua.

(Random Ruminations from the “It” factory.)

@Janine: He/She or my favorite, “It” seems to put any Democrat in the “you people” pile. It’s long winded today I see. You are still the worst & I’m so jealous!

janine, Look, you keep trying to put me into some sort of “birther”, “teabagger”, “wingnut” “batsh-tfkingcrazy” corral, refusing to entertain the notion my thoughts are my own.

And that’s hypocritical Janine. Hypocrisy. That’s the issue with me.

The issue is neither you or I. The issue is not even the Stewart Clip. Or it shouldn’t be. The issue to me, was the accompanying statement by Mario. I stated my disagreement with that.

Subsequently, I ignored Frances’ statement, responded to a couple others. You made the statement that “Almost everything the Republicans say these days is about Obama bashing.” Then essentially tried to say you didn’t say that and chastise me for lumping you in with a crowd which I happen to think you belong.

You asked me not to. I will try to comply with your wishes. But you further want me to say you’re right about it and I am wrong to view you in that crowd. I can’t do that.

I will however endeavor to not lump you in with the “crowd” out of respect for your wishes but certainly not because I think you are an exception.

Why don’t “you guys” stick to the subject? The only thing about this post to “discuss” would be Mario’s comments and our subsequent commentary.

If you want me to discuss Stewart’s skit, I’ll have to say I thought it was hilarious and he made the point that Giuliani contradicted himself. I don’t know why he did. Maybe he changed his mind. (I addressed that.) Maybe things are different now. (I addressed that.) Maybe he’s just stupid. Who knows?

But it’s not about me, you, Frances or anyone else. It’s about two opposing philosophies or directions of thought. And further, for me at least, it’s about the ongoing, rampant hypocrisy from BOTH SIDES that only the OTHER side is capable of ignorance.

janine, whatever. And you again with the “straw” b.s.

Perhaps if you wish to be viewed differently, you should distance yourself more certainly from the “you people” crowd. I’ll be more than happy to encourage you in such an effort any way I can.

But again, I’ll note I see you usually have little difficulty in lumping anyone of opposing thought in as a “birther”, “teabagger”, “wingnut” or your fav, “batsh-tfkingcrazy”! ;-)

Peace.
