see that is why political comedy isn't really comedy random thoughts Send a noteboard - 10/05/2011 02:15:48 PM
I think they need to stop calling things like SNL and the Daily Show comedy when they have a blatant political agenda. Chevy Chase has admitted that he had a political agenda when he repeatedly made fun of Ford for one time tripping when he came off of a plane. Now decades later a very athletic and agile man is known mostly for his lack of grace because of a sustained slander smear campaign by a "comedian" who was "just trying to make people laugh".

I am offended by people who the the war in Afghanistan was a "good" war we no choice about because one group who operated there (and isn't who we are fighting now) and that Iraq was a bad war that we chose even though Iraq had made shooting at planes a favorite hobby and had developed the nasty habit of attacking its neighbors not to mention huge segments of its own population.

Rumsfeld's greatest sin was not winning.

You really have to wonder if our culture is decadent? *NM* - 04/05/2011 06:24:25 AM 527 Views
Not at all, but it does make me wonder if we're TOO decadent. - 06/05/2011 01:38:42 AM 965 Views
I agree. *NM* - 09/05/2011 10:36:40 PM 606 Views

If they don't know about the terrorist organisation to begin with, why would they self educate? - 13/05/2011 08:06:07 AM 962 Views
If completely ignorant of terrorism itself, they wouldn't, but if not I'd expect they'd get informed - 14/05/2011 03:01:37 AM 931 Views
What?!? There are terrorists roaming the US, killing kids in their beds?!? - 14/05/2011 07:45:27 AM 1079 Views

The short answer is "yes". - 06/05/2011 03:19:31 AM 970 Views
you would of have had to know who he is to know he was doing that though *NM* - 08/05/2011 06:16:39 PM 480 Views
Yes, and the fact he WAS doing that is why I expected nearly everyone to know who he was. - 08/05/2011 07:12:41 PM 980 Views
I am not saying they shouldn't know who he is just that is isn't that shocking that some don't - 09/05/2011 02:35:02 PM 838 Views
I get that, it's the size of the "some" that kinda floors me. - 09/05/2011 05:02:46 PM 973 Views
Rumsfeld was a bit of a tool but he was right about a lot of stuff - 09/05/2011 05:05:56 PM 908 Views
I did think he took heat unfairly for that comment; he's an interesting figure. - 09/05/2011 05:59:58 PM 1080 Views

I am trying to be more concise and that summed it up *NM* - 16/05/2011 09:26:32 PM 493 Views
Concise is nice, but that response was solely about me rather than my arguments. - 18/05/2011 11:30:38 PM 943 Views
No it was about your reply I am just to lazy to break it down - 19/05/2011 12:54:38 AM 903 Views
