The more important question is why you assume that the 1% minority of liberals who post batshit crazy comments online represent everyone else.

@b80vin -

I have one quibble with your above comments and that is I'm an agnostic, evolution-loving conservative. There are plenty of us out there, so please don't lump us in with the complete morons in the religious right crowd that have systematically fire-bombed the sense out of the conservative party. Some "conservatives" still believe in small government, fiscal responsibility and individual rights.

We can also take a joke, especially since we've seen walking ones like Rush, Savage, Coulter and O'Reilly all these years.

MSNBC and its parent company, NBC Universal, have been macho idiots for some time. BTW, I'll bet Olberman, Matthews, et al are all pretty flabby--in a metaphorical sense, of course.

If they'd just let the libertarians into the public debate PC would pack up and move to Canada.

2008-04-26T15:24:00.000-04:00

You remind me of something I saw once: TAB- Temporarily Able Bodied. It was a movement by some disabled folks to let people know that as they grow older they'll become less "able bodied" and end up needing all the things the disabled were saying were needed for them. The optimistic idea that they could get americans to think about the future touched me deeply. Their logic had me in stitches (metaphorically speaking).

And I'm 49 1/2 and the brilliant label has yet eluded me (except for an Aussie friend who uses it every time I suggest ANYTHING, and therefore doesn't count), so maybe I project, but I still think your parody was brilliant.

@ b80vin:

Well, that may be the first time in my 40 years on the planet that the word brilliant has been used for me (I'm sure the universe will set the balance right by handing me my very first "idiot" soon). I might have deserved it more, though, if I had gotten my last part of the comment right. I forgot that people were actually trying to change "handicapped" to "handi-capable" and "disabled" to "differently abled." At least I was in the right ballpark...

Uh, how many humorless liberals ARE there exactly?...

2008-04-26T13:21:00.000-04:00

Uh, how many humorless liberals ARE there exactly? All of them? Can you express it as a percentage? As someone who is adamantly atheistic, even I can make a distinction between a Christian and a fundamentalist Christian.

Erica Jong as an example of the liberal without an internal sense of humor is ridiculous. She's a feminist! NO feminist has a sense of humor (See? I can do it too).

As for political correctness, like any good idea, it can be taken to an extreme ( as brilliantly illustrated by Deacon Blue {shout out to the old school Dan fans}) by some, at which time it becomes a parody of itself. But the basic premise is somewhat sound.

Finally, if you don't think conservatives can be easily offended tell one you're a gay atheist who believes in evolution. They take that shit seriously, man.

2008-04-26T12:06:00.000-04:00

I figured Keith's apology stemmed from some weird-ass firestorm brewing from somewhere. I heard it when he first said it on air and didn't think a thing of it.

The Clinton's really do need to follow Senator Clyburn's advice "Chill Out!!" They must have a whole group of people monitoring TV ready to fire off a stream of "Apology Demanded" letters.

Now...back to chillin' out and drinking the Kool-Aid

2008-04-26T11:24:00.000-04:00

("Kids should rule the world. Imagine a world where children could vote: 'Do you think your mommmy and daddy should be sent to Iraq? Yes or No?'")

I am so sick to death of anyone who finds limitless wisdom in children and says that they should be in charge. After the Iraq question is posed, here are a few other sample questions that can be asked of children:

'Do you think we should have candy for breakfast from now on? Yes or No?'

'Do you not want to get shots anymore from the mean old doctor even though they give you a balloon afterwards? Yes or No?'

'Given the finite amount of resources available on this planet, increases in the cost of living, and dad's lay-off, are you going to throw a shitfit when mommy and daddy can no longer afford the electricity to let you play Xbox? Yes or No?'

2008-04-26T01:40:00.000-04:00

I don't know if buy into your elite PC Dem's narrative. It has been the mainstream media story line for 40 years. Just like there are very few conservatives that have not rallied behind the - per Rush Limbaugh - not truely conservative McCain, there are very few liberals who will not rally behind Hillary or Obama. I am a liberal and my main man Edwards is long gone. Hillary and Obama are too conservative for me. But vote for McCain - he is for mixing church and state, against choice, said there will be more wars, my friend, etc. He says he is not too hip on that economy thing and he apparently does not know the difference between AQinI, Sunnis and Shias. Come on.

2008-04-25T23:53:00.000-04:00

Chez, HOW DARE YOU say that liberals take things too seriously! You insensitive boob.

Oh, wait, I'm hating on women's breasts if I call you a boob...and I'm being misogynist.

You insufferable fart.

Damn, what about those poor people with chronic flatulence?

You bastard.

Fuck! Children without fathers will be hurt by that one.

Wait a minute, I'm not even a damn liberal. Or a damn conservative.

But now I'm belittling people who are damned by using the word "damn"...twice!

P.S. I think the worst thing the left brought to the party in the past couple decades was "political correctness." I still have debilitating bowel cramps every time I remember the attempts to turn "handicapped" into "differently abled."

2008-04-25T22:25:00.000-04:00

Saying that someone 'drank the Kool-aid' is cruel to those who drink Kool Aid!!!

Because at Jonestown they didn't have Kool Aid.

It was Flavor Aid.

2008-04-25T20:18:00.000-04:00

It can all be blamed on the continuing Pussification of America.

Oh I'm sorry...I meant the continuious trend of politically correctness that our beautiful country has seen develop in the last decade.

I think that old saying, about Panties in a bunch, applies here....Hey it's 2008 and men can wear panties (if they want) so that's NOT a sexist remark. [covers ass]

2008-04-25T20:00:00.000-04:00

This totally reminds me of a Doonesbury from a couple of years back. Mark and Chase (the gay radio station guys) are arguing and Chase points out that "liberals" suck at the political game because they can "see all sides" to an argument. Conservatives know they are right and no one can convince them otherwise. Mark, of course, says something along the lines of, "hmm you may have a point there," which Chase exclaims is the case in point.

2008-04-25T18:51:00.000-04:00

I was thinking the other day about the Clinton ad with the sleeping kid and the phone ringing at 3am. "Who's going to be there to take that call?"

Why didn't Obama or McCain counter with the exact same ad and when they show the phone ring, boom - Obama picks it up amid stacks of papers and briefs in a "mock" oval office saying, "Yeah, thanks I ordered the pizza. Uh-huh, working late."

You're absolutely right nobody can take a f-ing joke anymore.

2008-04-25T18:32:00.000-04:00

The gist of my response: What TOOK you so long to write this?

It is quite obvious that you are, for lack of a better word, irreverent; you plainly just don't give a fuck, and I love that about you.

It is sad how liberals (the supposed First-Amendment shilling and open-minded folks) seem to have lost their sense of humor. Then again, a zealot is a zealot, no matter the color of the state they are from.

Frankly, I am waiting eagerly for someone to complain about my Tyra jokes.
