from The Daily Show. I imagine when they're done taping they even think to themselves, "Nailed it!"

wasn't really a conservative? I think it was Delay...

Probably everyone he knows, within a 15 mile radius, agrees with these things so he assumes that everyone else in the country does too. Maybe even that black best friend of his says that he agrees.

They have such limited lives they have no idea that the world is so much bigger than them.

The more experienced R politicians know to keep it to themselves when in a public setting. That's the only difference between this guy and all the others pushing this voter ID bullshit.

h

Getting those can add additional fees - to get a copy of my birth certificate from CA would cost me $40.

the real outrage is the law not his words IMO

THAT stupid.

The voting rights act was no longer needed

In other words, the repunks are supposed to use dog whistles instead of overt racism.

but he is not the first ReTHUG to say that publicly. Didn't that moron in Pennsylvania brag that the voter ID would give Pennsylvania to Rmoney?

The man spoke the truth

I hope it ruins them in the elections! "..bunch of lazy blacks" indeed! That sort of slander ought to keep everyone home and happy on election day for sure. Y'know one of the main visuals I remember from the last presidential election day? The sight of that pregnant lady standing in line to vote after her water broke instead of dashing off to the hospital. That was absolutely noble.

Mandvi's facial expressions as Yelton rambles on; not only burning bridges behind him, he was napalming the surrounding countryside. I'm surprised there isn't a bill before the North Carolina legislature to rescind Mr. Yelton's NC citizenship.

with him. The governor - not Yelton - is responsible for the voting fiasco. Yelton just told the truth about GOP motives. Mustn't have the truth

I'm still giggling about that "pro-life" chick who Jason Jones interviewed. What a twit she was!

was when Mandvi said, "You know we can hear you, right?"



i really had to see that to believe it. but what really got him fired is that he accidentally told the truth about why the republicans have made this terrible law.

a classic - i had to watch it again.

everyone in my house stopped what they were doing to come listen. That was priceless. And the guy, what an embarrassment for this state. Sadly, one of thousands.

laws, using that video as evidence of intent to rig elections by violating certain groups' civil rights--including the civil rights and particularly the *voting* rights of specifically *protected* groups.

It's funny to watch someone with a high IQ play with someone who just thinks they are smart. Wow, I will never forget that quote.

This interview just gives them more to work with.

He was so confident in the idea that he is normal and his way of thinking is a good thing. He was practically looking at the interviewer like *he* was crazy and out of the norm.

... their party to challenge his thinking

that clip on Rachel. "You know we can hear you, right?"
Priceless.

I will never understand why conservatives allow themselves to be interviewed by the Daily Show. They have to know how it will turn out.

bubble. They only listen to their own media sources, treat opposition parties like they have the plague, and they lose sight of real American values. He didn't think what he said was bad. Don't you get it. He didn't slip up. He thought what he said was okay. And FWIW, he's my kind of bigot. Admits it openly and doesn't hide behind the Bible or code words. I have way more respect for him that I do the Bible bigots, or the "not in public" bigots.

craves these days.

Thanks for the post.

You GD right he did!

earlier in that same show

That's because the name on the ID has to match the name on the rolls.
If it doesn't, the person has to sign an affidavit or vote on a provisional
ballot with only six days to correct the name officially.

This is really affecting married women who changed their names, but
it's also affecting many others as well.

I can't believe people are OK with this. There should be a lot of anger
and outrage, but for some reason we've been conditioned to just roll
over and take it.

Here this idiot told the truth. The real purpose of these laws is to suppress the vote of groups who voted or democrats

Sad. Now, he'll never make to the eleventy-seventh order of the money-garter.

He was fired for letting us know how many assholes are in the Republican party.

Love it.

I bet his producer winked back.

It's so awesome.

I do believe the local FOX station has created a new opening in Human Resources.

Republicans on the Daily Show and Colbert Report

I think maybe the older generation (that this guy belongs to) doesn't fully realize the combined power of the Daily Show and the internet so they think they're doing a podunk little show that can't possibly hurt them. That might change since this guy was fired.

I think with the Colbert Report, a lot of them just don't get the humor. Conservatives are humor-impaired, which explains why FOX's attempt at a Daily Show like show bombed so badly. Plus, typical conservative humor is often mean-spirited and aimed at the most vulnerable of society. Anything else is foreign to them.

The famous conservatives actually think they can "hang" with Stewart/Colbert - Like O'Reilly. There's no doubt in my mind that he thinks he's as smart AND as funny as those two, which is why he keeps having them on his show and going on theirs.

I thought it was fake at first. Jeez....I can't believe he really admitted that stuff about him thinking that young people and Blacks being too lazy to vote. He's too stupid to even work for Republicans!

Isn't this a smoking gun admission that the motivation behind the law is to disenfranchise voters of a particular party? As such, does this not expose as false the "official" rationale that the law's purpose is to ensure voting integrity?

And, if so, then isn't this illegal and shouldn't it be investigated and prosecuted as a violation of voting rights?

Governor McCrookie hired a GOP crony at $360/hr to represent him:

Alan West or the pizza man?

how much Yelton even LOOKS like Archie Bunker?

. . . so we won't have to look at his stupid face!

mere cover your ass firing. never forget that they truly believe this -- that's why they are gleefully implementing so many voter laws so fast.

That is the weirdest part of all this non sense. Does he have an IQ even close to room temperature? Why are these people (extreme conservatives) having such a hard time with basic common sense and decency? At this point it's hard to watch.

Stupid people yelling very loudly are still stupid.

They do more damage to themselves than most democrat campaign efforts can ever seem to do.
