On Thursday night, September 28, 2006, the Fox News show Hannity and Colmes, Sean Hannity replayed Oliver Stone's comment that President Bush had set the United States "back 10 years." Hannity then berated people "from Hollywood," such as "actors" and "producers," for weighing in on political matters.
A few minutes later, Sean Hannity proclaimed the arrival of "Miller Time" - the Fox News knock-off of The Daily Show's "Back in Black" with Lewis Black. But Dennis Miller is not a politician, journalist, academic or anyone else connected to politics in the kind of way Hannity suggested was is appropriate. No. Dennis Miller is just a comedian. Miller made his living telling jokes on television and in movies - until, that is, he became a tool for the Republican propaganda machine.
The actor-turned-pundit presented a segment called "Real Free Speech." In this Orwellian session of Two Minutes Hate, Miller could not resist employing the Rovian smear strategy of guilt by association.
Iranian's president Ahmadinejad (whose name Miller badly mispronounced) wants Israel wiped off the map. Venezuela's president, Hugo Chavez, has close relations with Ahmadinejad. And Hollywood actor Danny Glover gave Hugo Chavez the high-five at some function in Harlem. The final step which Miller took, was to link actor Danny Glover to co-star Mel Gibson (who, like president Ahmadinejad, is accused of anti-Semitism).
It should be pointed out that Miller never jokes about Bush's hand-holding, check-kissing relationship with a man who routinely orders the beheading of women for adultery, Saudi Crown Prince Abdullah.
Next, Dennis Miller advises that the only way to deal with President Chavez, whom he called a "buffoon," is to employ his time-tested schoolyard tactic: to walk away from a bully but then turn around and plant one in his "nads."
Of course, Miller forgets that the Bush administration already tried to hit Chavez below the belt. It encouraged the 2002 coup d'etat against Chavez and applauded the usurper, Pedro "dictator-for-a-day" Carmono. And Washington still funds the opposition, in violation of the US Ambassador to Venezuela's stated policy and Venezuelan law.
If the applause Chavez received at the United Nations meant anything it meant that one of Dennis Miller's idols, George Bush, is more typically viewed as the schoolyard bully.
"It's Miller Time." Indeed. For bar-stool opinions, tune in to Hannity and Colmes.

The author of that article is reason why people don't vote democrat: It is the looney left!
I can be a democrat, too... Just claim everything republicans say is lies and then completely ignore lies from fellow democrats. And also ignore statements about "republicans have never earned an honest living" etc... by Howard "Rabies-Infected" Dean.
Funny how this prick hates Ann Coulter when he is simply a copy of her for the lunatic left.

Sorry to see you haven't gotten any smarter.
Ignorance is an infection and it has regretably spread through your limited brain like a cancer - you are officially malignantly stupid.
Nothing you shit out in that pathetic comment even comes close to being thoughtful, relevant or accurate.
It is pure junk. YOU are junk.

I've said it before and I'll say it again. Liberalism is a birth defect of the brain.

Thanks for the link. I don't really give a flying fuck what you think.

Yer welcome... I just wanted to make sure I got your attention as you seem to have a habit of squeezing out that bullshit line and then wandering away.
I actually called you on it months ago - and now I thought it would be a great opportunity for you to actually respond...if you feel up to the task.
If you would be so kind, I would like you to highlight some of the more defective elements of liberalism. I have even taken the opportunity to identify some issues that I find personally annoying about liberalism to get you started:
- basing a political theory on the "natural goodness of humanity" is just silly. It only takes a good look around the world today to discover that collectively people suck. While there is no denying that there is the capacity for goodness - our "human nature" is more predisposed towards self interest, greed, ignorance and overwhelming apathy.
- the tendency for liberals to be so accepting of personal differences of opinion mixed in with the general desire to spread around a culture of tolerance leaves the liberal position seeming somewhat "wishy-washy" - especially when confronted by the far more rigidly organized and simplistic conservative types.
- hippies. god damn stinky hippies.
Other than that I am VERY curious as to why you "think" the way you do.
WHY is liberalism a defect of the brain?
hmmm?

i love how people like TL throw the 'liberal' label like it's an insult, while having no idea what it means.
Meaning of LIBERALISM
Pronunciation: 'liburu`lizum
Definition:
[n] an economic theory advocating free competition and a self-regulating market and the gold standard
[n] a political orientation that favors progress and reform
OMG! THAT IS SO BAD! PEOPLE WHO ADVOCATE FREEDOM AND EVOLUTION!
The world liberal has been distorted in so many ways. in quebec, liberals are our right wingers, the equivalent of your republicans. go figure. same thing for conservatives. yesterday conservatives like nixon would be too liberal for today's democrats.
it's a question of persepective. this whole red vs blue childish mindset only exists because fucking retards like TigerLilly fuel it.
at least we know what kind of people TigerLilly listens to since the birth defect thing (not her leg, a liberal brain) are the exact words of Ann Coulter and other pundit of FoxNews.

Im sure they were retarded, so retarded that their work is still being read and analyzed today.
Not to mention all those damn scientists that we listen to! Them and their Harvard PhDs are so retarded.
The direct correlation between education and liberalism must mean that the more education you have, the more retarded you are!
good times.

Tell your buddy to talk about the sheer hypocrisy of the clambering to crucify Clinton for getting a hummer from an adult by people who don't seem to think that drooling over young high school boys is a problem.

Oh and you can do whatever the fuck you want.
Don't let the cranky assholes on this site bring you down... just be entertaining and you will do fine.
Original content is always best... but mirth trumps originality. (At least in my books.)
Ratings don't mean shit, there are all sorts of petty assholes that troll around this site eager to smear their personal brand of idiocy on even the most spectacular works of art.
Try and only post once a day... it's only fair for the rest of the nerds who want to have their precious little offernings ejoyed/shredded by the masses.
Oh and if there is some question about its work friendliness - its best to slap an NSFW tag in the title. (plus you'll get all the pervs clamoring for a peek at filth... so don't disappoint - they tend to get extra pissy when disappointed.)
Other than that: chin up, ass open - and welcome.
