At The End Of An Otherwise Dissapointing Interview Of Lou Dobbs, Jon Stewart Brings The Awesome

Jon Stewart wasted more than 20 minutes of an interview with Lou Dobbs, taking almost every one of his answers at face value and never challenging him on the bullshit he is most known for like his advocation for the birthers and his extremely prejudiced and racist past statements about hispanics, before he finally brought it home explaining what America is really about no matter what people like Dobbs or Hannity or any other right wing asshat has to say.

You can forward to 2:44 if you want to avoid Dobbs' bullshit.

Now I understand that Stewart is a comedian and his show isn't so called "real" news, but if he is going to take up the mantle of challenging people who come on his show, ala Jim Cramer, then he should expect for people to hold him to a high standard when he gets a shot at someone like Lou Dobbs. You won't see Dobbs going on Rachel Maddow's show or even sitting down with Chris Matthews, so this was the one chance to put his ass on the spot to make him answer for the shit he has said. The idea that Stewart allowed him to assert over and over again that his an independent or in the middle when he is as right wing as they come was pretty fucking nauseating. And understand this, there were over 16 minutes of video aside from this clip of the interview and I didn't think any of the rest of it was even worth posting.

But at least he did confront Dobbs on the fact that our country is not fragile and the things that are being done right now do not consitute some kind of sea change in our history. I guess that's worth.....something.

Say Goodbye To Greta

Lou Dobbs, racist extraordinairre has announced his resignation from CNN. I would put the over under at 7 on the number of days before FoxNews annouces his hiring.

Oh and I am taking the under. LOL

FoxNews will now accurately reflect the GOP in the evenings.

A bunch of old, angry lame white men.

Give Bernie A Microphone So He Can Rip It

Well we know there is at least one guy in Congress who doesn't mind busting people in the mouth when it comes to debating health care reform and the need for a public option.

That guy is named Bernie Sanders.

It just goes to show that if you take the marketing firm generated talking points away from the Republicans, even one as seasoned as Orrin Hatch, they got nothing.



I don't know what it means that one of the best spokespersons for true liberal and progressive health care reform isn't even technically a Democrat, but I'll take it, thats for DAMN sure!

Big ups to Cenk Uygur and The Young Turks for posting the video.

Teh Stupid

Jon Stewart poses a very relevant question to "birther" Lou Dobbs:

"Do you even watch CNN? Its your own fucking network!"

Keep Em Talking

The usual suspect are upholding their end of the bargain by spewing racist and sexist attacks at Supreme Court nominee Sonia Sotomayor. Now the question is will the mainstream media ask establishment Republicans if they agree with Limbaugh or Dobbs or Buchanan or Coulter. Stay tuned.

Did I Mention That Barney Frank Is Great?

Man I just love watching Chairman Frank bust Lou Dobbs in the mouth. More of this please!

Xenophobes And White Supremecists, Two Peas In A Pod

John Amato, who has done his own share of good work linking the talking head xenophobes to white supremecists groups, has a great post up at his Crooks and Liars blog about the new Southern Poverty Law Center report that exposes definitively the connections between anti immigration "think tanks" and these white supremecist groups. For those people who for whatever reason enjoy watching the Lou Dobbses and the Bill O'Reillys of the world you need to take a look at the report and see where your favorite talking head is getting their talking points from.
