Come on though, I know you can do better. None of those scratch the surface of how juicy the vid I posted is.

 

That's because I'm not John Stewart :p

Also, everyone he showed was about the media, all of mine are about the candidate. 

Oh and I agree some Hillary supporters can be crazy, but it does not bother you one bit that your candidate does not find Iraq to be a viable threat because they spend 1% of what we do on the military?

I wonder how much Al-kida spends compared to us?

P.S. That was in May of this year... May! Not 4 years ago. So we have a siting Senator that thinks Iraq is no threat, one that has been voting on policy for several years now. Nice.

Post them if you got them. I dare you to find something as bad as that bit on the Daily Show. Obviously, the more recent the better.

Please, post some of the Democrat hypocrisy stuff, I would love to see it.  I am not saying it isn't out there, I just am asking you to substantiate.

 

I'd mostly have to do it by hand by picking through each polticians words, and John Stewart was the actual first person to put it together.

Basically you have every media pundit on TV right now doing the exact opposite who were democratic though.

Saying Obama had more then enough expierence, and that Palin has no expierence.

Basically, find any situation where the republican pundits flip-flop on an issue and you'll see the demcoratic pundits do the exact same thing in the opposite direction.

Stewart doesn't do it because he doesn't get the laughs.  I'll see if i can find the one daily show clip where he "nailed" Obama.

Doesn't get quite the same level of laughs despite being just as funny, because of the Daily Show Demographic.

Also as for expierence. Hillary Clinton went from saying Barak Obama wasn't ready and that

"Hillary Clinton has a plan, McCain has a plan and Obama has a fancy speach"

Then through her support behind Obama.

Biden did the same.

Both thought he was inexperenced then turned around on it.

I absolutely agree that Hillary is probably one of the easiest people to do this to. She is a double-talker to the max, which is why I stopped supporting her during the primary and switched to Obama.



We had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a salt shaker half full of cocaine, a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers…Also a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of beer, a pint of raw ether and two dozen amyls.  The only thing that really worried me was the ether.  There is nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible and depraved than a man in the depths of an ether binge. –Raoul Duke

It is hard to shed anything but crocodile tears over White House speechwriter Patrick Buchanan's tragic analysis of the Nixon debacle. "It's like Sisyphus," he said. "We rolled the rock all the way up the mountain...and it rolled right back down on us...."  Neither Sisyphus nor the commander of the Light Brigade nor Pat Buchanan had the time or any real inclination to question what they were doing...a martyr, to the bitter end, to a "flawed" cause and a narrow, atavistic concept of conservative politics that has done more damage to itself and the country in less than six years than its liberal enemies could have done in two or three decades. -Hunter S.

Yeah... though Obama has backtracked a lot lately as well.  Which is why i switched my vote from Obama to McCain.

From Public Financing, to Nafta to a number of other things.

Note though during that daily show clip the "You know you can laugh at him". 

It's just better ratings for the Daily Show to go after the republicans more... so they do.  The only times they go after the democrats is when they can't get enough dirt on the republicans... and lately it's just been a lot of half hearted jokes about how everyone treats Obama as if he were Jesus or Moses.

 

Still here was another funny one.  Not really related to flip flopping.  But great if you don't watch the Daily Show regularly.

Wow that is really classic daily show.. Wasilla isn't the second largest city in Alaska, Its Fairbanks.

On a different note, looks like McCain got a midsize bump today in the polls:

Gallup Tracking 09/04 - 09/06 2765 RV 45 48 McCain +3
Rasmussen Tracking 09/04 - 09/06 3000 LV 48 48 Tie

Is it me or do no media outlets really ever say anything bad about Barack Obama? It's like everyone is afraid of being racist or something. However mysoginy and ageism are rampant and poking fun at McCain even though he's a celebrated war hero former POW is the new "Yo mama joke". It just irks me that I can't hear anything bad about Obama unless I listen to Rush Limbaugh and his giant puppet head yammering on about democratic evils. Anyone else feel this way?

Oops...double post.

It's not that they're afraid of being racist.

It's just... did you see the ABC Democratic primary debate?


It was basically... an hour and 45 minutes of "Barak OBama scandals" and 15 minutes of "actual issues".

It was the worst run debate i've ever seen and seemed like a delibert attempt to "slow down" Obama so Hillary vs Obama would go on longer and be a better story.

The whole debate was just... sickening.

Since then they've had to be "hands off" to the Obama campaign for a while to wash that image clean.  The whole media had to... since the media is usually lumped into one group.

However since they dodn't have to do the same to McCain... and "clean" journalism isn't a ratings grabber... suddenly it's just the repubs who have the bad storries.
