Right Wing Media Collaborators Satirize Themsleves
Edited on Tue Nov-18-03 01:06 PM by Homer12
Much like listening to John Madden on Monday Night Football. Hannity, Limbaugh, Coulter, Scarborough, thousands of AM radio hate machine talkshow hosts, satirize themselves in the end.

Why? Most of these people are so self-important, self-absorbed, and have easily picked out meglomanic tendicies that after awhile even hearing them is a joke along with The showmanship, the marketing, the greed, the anger, and used out-rage, etc...
I mean they don't even make me mad anymore, but give me a great laugh.

Whatever precived power that they "think" they have over our minds, or they think they can argue (I mean yell, shoutdown) at us to change our minds, becomes nothing.

They have become the biggest joke within the myrad of stupid little jokes they use to deomaize and be-little the left.

The funniest and best thing is, they don't even know it or recognize this at at all. Their ego's and arrogance won't let them.

1. Be that as it may...
a lot of people still take some of that crap as the gospel truth. As far as I'm concerned, all of the hosts you mentioned can kiss my ass. Wait, I don't want those people anywhere near me.

3. i hope they have long illustrious careers
of pushing well-informed people further to the left, and straining out the wheat from the chaff.

4. don't like em either
i don't like em either, especially coulter. i tried to explain to the people at hollywoodhalfwits.com how she was wrong..but they wouldn't listen. Another thing, if Coulter and all them are the right extremists, then Michael Moore is the left extremist. While I personally know very little about Moore, it doesn't sound like he should be our best representative. If we hadta choose a representative of the left as a whole, I'd havta say we choose Alan Colmes. He's nice, he uses facts...and he has cojones grandes. What, being the only liberal at fox news. Colmes is da man!! He's the best :dem: on tv

5. Colmes??
He never, EVER stands up to Hannity; he sits quietly on his side of the desk and displays absolutely NO conviction toward what he's talking about. When the show was in preproduction, it was informally known as "Hannity and Liberal-To-Be-Named-Later." They found Alan Colmes, who was a stand-up comedian, and plugged him into the formula as Hannity's foil. He is the exact opposite of Hannity (and nearly everyone else at Fox, for that matter), and while it's true he sticks to facts, avoids editorializing, and certainly doesn't play the shout-down game, he comes off as milquetoast -- which does nothing for his argument vs the ideological juggernaut that is Sean Inannity. Jokingly he's referred to as "every conservative's favorite liberal."

Granted I haven't read his book yet, but any complaint I have with Colmes has less to do with his beliefs and more to do with his tactics (or lack thereof) in the public spotlight. He needs to stand up for his beliefs, especially when dealing with pricks like Hannity.

By the way, is it obvious yet I despise Sean Hannity? Heh.

6. Coulter is so bad
she must be an undercover liberal. How else can you explain her her rank absurdities thrown out with no factual basis. she doesn't even pretend that any of her statements were ever researched, the stuff is all off the top of her head and it makes it so easy to debunk her. However she is getting plenty of money from her right wing fan base to move to Manhattan and live a life style that her compadres on the right would normally condem.

7. ALAN COLMES IS A SEX GOD
finally, some common sense on DU. I wish we could appoint Alan Colmes Official Spokesman for EVERYTHING, ever.

ALAN! ALAN! ALAN! ALAN!
