Bill Press Denounces Jon Stewart Rally as a 'Big Masturbation Festival' Where Liberals Get Drunk
By Tim Graham | October 29, 2010 | 12:57
Mark down liberal radio host Bill Press as someone who really despises the timing of the liberal Jon Stewart-Stephen Colbert rally -- so much he called it "a big masturbation festival on the national mall" that will divert liberals from working for Democrat candidates when the stakes are so high. "Instead of getting out there and working their ass off...they're going to be out the mall yukkin' in up and then going out and getting drunk."
Press began his lecture on his show Wednesday morning by saying "Maybe it's time someone rained on Jon Stewart's parade." He didn't scream like Ed Schultz -- he sounded like he spoke in regret more than anger -- but the words were rough.
You’re going to hate me for it, but I think it's a big mistake.... First of all, what is this thing about? When it comes down to it, it is totally, totally self-indulgent. It's like a big masturbation festival on the Washington Mall on the Saturday before the election.
It's not about workers' rights or civil rights or women's rights or gay rights -- not that we have to be all that serious, but dammit -- and I know a lot of people by the way that are going to this thing. I know a lot of people that are excited about it. I did a little check yesterday about hotel rooms in Washington, D.C. -- you can't find one in Washington, D.C. for this weekend. They're all booked...
The second thing is the timing. It’s the Saturday before the election, when dammit! Everything is at stake! I mean, we could lose the whole freakin’ mess on Tuesday, November the Second. There are a lot of races out there, a lot of people out there, good people like Russ Feingold and Joe Sestak, you name it – Barbara Boxer and Michael Bennet down in Colorado, who really need our help, really need people banging on doors and making phone calls, and handing out leaflets and that kind of stuff.
This Saturday, this weekend is the key. This weekend is going to make the difference in dozens of House races and probably at least a dozen – look at Nevada, with Harry Reid and Sharron Angle – at least a dozen Senate races. This weekend is going to decide, because of the Get Out the Vote activities, who gets over the top. And what I see is that too many young people, too many Democrats, too many liberals, too many progressives, instead of getting out there and working their ass off for what they believe and for people who are going to vote the way they believe, instead they're going to be out on the mall yukkin' it up and then going out and getting drunk.
Press insisted that he felt Stewart and Colbert are "the most talented two people on television," but that rally -- "I’m not against it. I just wish it weren’t happening this Saturday." He closed the segment by declaring "I find that the Rally to Restore Sanity is driving me freaking insane."
Ironically, as many young Obama voters flock to the Comedy Central event, Press's show promoted itself just then as “the official morning show of the Obama Generation.” Maybe not so much, there, Grandpa.
In the second hour of his show, Press returned to the topic -- "I think it’s a waste of time" -- and accused Stewart and Colbert of being egotists:
No, this is come to the Mall to see me. Come to the Mall to see me, Jon Stewart. Or see me, Stephen Colbert. And see us try to be funny. And they probably will be funny. Pure self-indulgence, on their part, and on the part of the people who are coming. I think it's like a giant masturbation movement. The March for Masturbation on the Washington Mall Saturday.

I think this is the first time that I have ever agreed with anything that Bill Press has ever said...He is 100% correct that the timing of this liberal lovefest is really, really bad. Instead of focusing on the elections on Tuesday, these fools will descend on D.C. to have a good 'ol libnut time, rather than making phone calls, knocking on doors and doing other last minute campaigning for their Dem candidates...As a Repub/conservative, I am of course thrilled that these yutzes will instead be in D.C. at this ridiculous "rally".
Hopefully, some really juicy photos and film clips will come out of this showing some of these libnuts behaving badly, right in time for the elections...Can't wait to see what happens!

As you said, Hill's already outta here, and Obama's gonna split shortly after because it's likely going to be a bloody mess...Dems/libs, as we all know, have no problem throwing their own to the lions when it is deemed politically necessary, and the wailing and finger pointing will be epic following the elections on Tuesday.

What is it about democrats and having to sexually connotate much of their activities? My own son's first foray into sexual matters (he's only 9 fer crhissakes!!) have come from mainstream media reports that have nothing to do with sex, and he's not ready for the official talk yet. Frankly, I resent the over-sexualization of virtually every aspect of life, particularly politics, and don't put any credence to this.
(An aside to Brent and the other production staff: What are your views on the various sexual activity commercials in general, such as Viagra, Cialis, and other commercials that are routinely shown during sporting events? Though my son is indeed smart, I do not appreciate him being exposed to such fare. Too prudish? I"m not talking about the KY jelly or female vibrators beind sold at 2:30 in the afternoon on basic cable channels, which should be canned, but would like to expand the discussion to the entire context of appropripriate, responsible commercial advertising protocols.)

If I were a betting gal, I'd want to lay odds on how many people are going to get arrested at this stupid rally: disorderly conduct; assault; public drunkenness; public lewdness; marijuana possession; you name it, it'll probably be on the docket. Because those are things that happen when a bunch of loser-bait liberals, many of whom are going to be college students and other idiot young "adults", gather together to pat themselves on the back for being the awesome non-racist, non-bigoted, non-Islamophobic, non-homophobic, non-sexist, non-elitist, non-ageist , sexually liberated paradigms of virtue they are. Also, it gives them a chance to laugh and point at all the, "...stupid, unwashed Tea Partying plebes who are, like, SUCH redneck racists, am I right? I bet they don't even know the difference between a grande and a venti, am I right? Total frickin' dweebs, am I right? MORE BEER!"
I'm also looking forward to seeing how trashed the Mall is going to be when the lib hordes have cleared out. Ten to one it's worse than after that puny One Nation gathering.

Relocation of Inuit Caused Great Hardship
They became, in the words of one commentator, “human flagpoles.”
Writing in the National Post (“Ottawa Apologizes to Inuit Families for Forced Relocation,” August 18, 2010), Carmen Chai points out that “The relocated families faced an entirely new environment they were not warned about when they were forced from their ‘lush tundra’ to the Arctic desert 1,200 kilometres away. They had to adapt to constant darkness in the winter and a rough terrain and climate...”

This is the "youth vote" we hear so much about. This is the lifestyle of the godless liberal. So several thousand want to go to DC and party and spend themselves in drunken revelry, so what? These are the automotons of tomorrow -- brainwashed by secular, marxist liberal ideologues who have fashioned them into their own image. This is the future of America. Godless. Dissipated. Insolent. Riotous.
If the present scares you, wait until you get a load of the future. This is change according to liberalism.

It's a free country, Mr. Press. Any public figure, whether you agree with him or not, has the first amendment right to hold a rally for their political cause as long as they don't shout fire. Glenn Beck certainly didn't shout fire, and I think it's safe to say neither will Stewart or Colbert. So why don't you go back to writing columns for your boss Joseph Farrah, or, as Ann Coulter might call him, "the phony Christian", at World Nut Daily?
