Free speech is certainly wonderful to watch when practiced by one in possession of compelling ideas mixed with two doses wit and a splash of sarcasm. Such was the case on Thursday evening when comedian Dennis Miller was given the stage on “Hannity & Colmes” to pontificate anew with nary a discouraging word from the resident liberal antagonist (video available here courtesy of our friend at Ms Underestimated):
Looks like they found evidence of water on Mars, but unfortunately, they also found a sucker fish in water, so we're not allowed to study it any more.
Do you know why I'm no longer liberal? Because I wanted to stop my sentences one word short of the word "but." You know, as a liberal, I found myself using the word "but" more frequently than a proctologist filling out his day planner.
Then, Miller made an observation that most NBers are likely to find somewhat objectionable:
Let's see, maybe it's time for a Democratic president. Stay with me. Because the next step in the inevitable escalation in this war with radical Islam is going to involve us being appreciably more brutal and ruthless than we have been to date. And I think the left's cronyism with the mainstream media will provide cover for someone on that side of things to up the ante.
The rest of his monologue required no further comment:
You know, I'm pretty sure the phrase life is too short doesn't exist in Islam.
Castro, Castro is one true genius at keeping Cuba so far down that a Category Four hurricane can hit the island head on and they still suffer almost no property damage.
You know, the interesting thing about diversity training is that 99.9 percent of the people who are ordered to take it are white.
They say that Wal-Mart will be the death of small town America. If small town America is so great, why is every third person in Hooterville hooked on meth?
To all the eco-nuts out there, I can't worry about the earth right now. I'm too worried about the world.
Hillary Clinton can afford to decry rich people at every turn. She's been on the public's dime since the dawn of man. She's had all the trappings of wealth without all the messy earnings that it takes.
You know, the Saudis are just the grown up equivalent of your childhood imaginary friend.
I'm toying with the idea of turning all of my money over to the state of California, because theoretically, I'd have more access to it as petitioner than I do as the actual proprietor.
Once again, let me proclaim that my main reason for being pro-choice is that I am not a fetus that's about to be aborted.
And lastly, just as the Titanic ramming the iceberg led to the obvious practice of having enough life boats for all the passengers, fighting a politically correct war in Iraq will remind us that you only, only fight wars to win.

December 30, 2006 - 10:12 ET by iveseenitallYou're wrong on this one, Dennis. What we need is a strong president who will tell the lousy lefties in the press where to stick it and do what has to be done. Let the creepy liberal bastards howl and ignore them. Giving in to the bully is doing no good at all and never will. You should have learned that as a kid. Ask yourself what bowing to 30+ years of liberalism has given us. Liberal blackmail has to be stopped before it is too late.

We can't let them fool enough people this time.
The GOP had better fight back and fight hard. We haven't seen that in the past but it is a matter of survival this time. Read me GOP. Hear me.
Liberalism is a convenient lie.
Andrew
December 31, 2006 - 07:13 ET by SportPoliticsWhat mega-billionaire republican is going to buy up two of the alphabet networks and mass replace the liberal trash encrusted within them ? Yeah, corporate takeover, total, twice - now there's an impossible plan.
So, instead we will have a thousand Murtha moments before the election, with Sheehans and Durtbin's spewing their propaganda and lies to the genuflecting and adoring parrot media, with tens of thousands of propagated hours of lies and slander against Bush and republicans, endless repetition all opened up with the daily per show Iraq death and injuries count delivered in a disgusted and concerned overblown tone seeping with disdain for Bush. Rush and Hannity/O'Reilly who have 3 percent of all newsers combined maybe, will be the demons of the unheard domestic media, a dangerous evil that could destroy America, or set us back hundreds of years, even into rekindling slavery in all likelihood.
No matter how hard the republicans fight back, the machine for iggy is solidly in place. If need be, the democrats in congress will move and write a threatening letter to ABC or whatever other "going off the plantation for just one moment " media falters, demanding that concessions and reductions be issued lest their right to broadcast or exist be congressionally withdrawn. All the way to the top, and astride the entire democrat party the coalition of the censure will kick in help, and is in place, is forceful, reactive, and rabid. Republicans fighting back will be clipped, cut, not invited, not aired, not spoken to, and left their prescious few seconds on cspan, or just cut from the clip in selective snippets, or mischaracterized and falsely quoted, over and over and over again.
So we have lies and censorship to look forward to. When they get a left wing nutball like Rather and the forged guard papers campaign for Presidencty attack, the public will be issued the standard unimpeachable source answer, and the ten day solidarity wall ( the liberal will tell themselves this is the ten day test written of in the Bible, and they're being a real Christain, and don't let journalibism school down, and to cave would be to give in to evil that was trying to destroy freedom of speech and of the press ). Years later the players will decry the injustice perped up on them by republicans and hold fast to their lies and fantasy beliefs in full public view, yes even in Bozell interviews like the fired princess of lies did not so long ago. The massive internal news investigation will dance around with words putting most politicans and police departments to shame, and never publicly disclose or discover who did what nor that anyone lied or was incorrect, but claim it was all a mere disagreement on some level not quite discernable and absolutely no bias was actually present. Complicated will be the answer. Anyone who isn't evil will understand, agree, nod their head, and know the original report was more truthful than Bush ever could be or has been, considering his evil desire to murder people all over the world.
After all that, the lying, conniving dems will about face once they have secured the elective goal with their filthy spew, as we have recently seen, dumping the crybaby mousehawk murtha, and donning the mafiaman hoyer.
The problem isn't the republicans. It's the fact that many people prefer to live in their own little fantasy world of liberal snippets, as long as it seems it won't destroy them, and they paint purity symbols all over it and pretend it's real, never even imagining the bs is streaming in bigtime.
The democrats do believe in evil, it's not that they don't. Evil is what some dead person did to the criminal they want to let out of jail when the criminal was just a child, but evil is not what the ones that should be going into prison now just did to a child, because someone did something to them when they were a child - forcing their hand.( liberals are STUPID) We are of course told it's a pattern, that terrible swirling cycle/circle, and as the liberal idiots chase their own shadowed brain horrors, the only guilty party is the republican who thought about it, although with an adult -legal at the time - and sent an evil email, years ago, secretly. That's really, really evil.
Evil also is what lurks inside Dick Cheney's brain and heart, and inside PNAC's world domination plans for a century of soul harvesting formulated by the Prince of Darkness Richard Pearle. (Richard Clarke who hates Bush's war is a good Richard). Evil is Bush Oil. Rumsfeld is evil incarnate, Skeletor actually.Rumsfeld may be a reanimated undead, a Skull and Bones Bohemian Grove exchange to Molech/child sacrifice deal.
Saddam was a neccessary evil that wasn't so bad after all - except when Rumsfeld was shaking his hand and leading him astray, and a good Saddam guy when he fought so hard against Al Qaeda since they hated eachother, and when Saddam fought Muslim religion control of Iraq as a secular, overall a good guy really. It was evil when Bush plotted to murder him, and now has. It's even more evil of Bush if it wasn't really Saddam who was hung - and it's all part of the shadow government NWO plan. Bush's secret evil plans are so bad we'll never know for sure.
Bush is a worldwide disaster type of evil, a puppet of evil behind the scenes, in between being a dictator, and an incompetent incapable failure ( when that evil behind the scenes is messing up the puppeteering- or making it look messed up- that's also evil and deceptive, but Bush is in the dark either way- even when he's dictating because he says it's easier, when unbeknownst to him, he's under the control of the evil behind the scenes from imf bankers and skull and bones training etc.), or when the evil one party congress of corruption was ruling everything with tricks and deception ( in between Bush's dictatorshipping obviously).
Bush is the type of evil that made war with the whole world (which he already lost in an Iraq quagmire), and was going to get us all killed, and wanted to initiate armageddon, because he's a false Christain who attended a Bob Jones University speech once, which makes him the devil that of course liberals don't believe in anyway, except when evil Ronald 6 Wilson 6 Reagan 6 - was going to get us into GlobalThermonuclearWar, and destroy the earth for the end times and armagedddon... but now Bush has morphed into GlobalWarmingDestroyer, and will kill us all with Evil Bush Oil, and Bush Oil Wars pollution, in an earthly fire and tide of unseen proportion, escalating to unstoppable and inevitable human extinction within a decades start.
So, we're all going to DIE,DIE,DIE... unless John Kerry or some demcorat liar manbearpig like Al Gore the gypped or -well not Hillary she's a war mongerlike Liebermann- but former child star and young adult Muslim and now full grown god and political life declared xtian sect ( kinda like Jesus did when he went out to save the world- smile scribe and pharisee demcoratticusses ! ) understanding genii blackman bronzen speaker Barak "cool" Obama - saves us, from the true and only evil - the republicans.
BTW- the evil republicans are always fighting back- not bringing bipartisanship as Bush said he would. That's evil too.

December 30, 2006 - 10:37 ET by Noel SheppardChris,
Not so. Actually, there are many beautiful parts of Florida that most people are unaware of as the generalization is Miami, Fort Lauderdale, and Boca. However, there are barrier islands -- like the one my parents live on -- that are absolutely spectacular. And, many other parts of this state that don't get the press, but are gorgeous.
Florida is a lot like California in that respect. Most Americans view California as being LA, Hollywood, and Beverly Hills. However, we know it to be much, much more. Florida is exactly the same. This is actually one of the most beautiful states in the nation, but is known by most Americans for Miami and Key West. There's a whole lot more. ns

I plan on having dry clothes and a face that looks like an old catcher's mitt. :)

December 30, 2006 - 10:22 ET by sarcasmo"If small town America is so great, why is every third person in Hooterville hooked on meth?"
I dunno, Dennis, but it might have to do with the "effectiveness" of coercive drug "treatment" (punishment) programs favored by those on the dole, such as Republican political activist Mel Sembler. And, once again as with so many other subjects, libertarians are provably the ONLY ones doing actual journalism on the drug-treatment-welfare issue, like it or not...

Yes. As the much-ignored Mi
December 30, 2006 - 10:38 ET by sarcasmoYes. As the much-ignored Milton Friedman and others have said, the free market leads to safer products. You're about my age, look back to the late '60s and early '70s. Did you see things like decaffeinated coffee, low 'tar' cigarettes (ok, a failed attempt at safety, IMO, but at least the tobacco companies tried!) low & no-alcohol 'beer,' low dose birth control pills, etc.? No. Those innovations were solely the result of the free marketplace and the incentives it gives buyers and sellers. The innovation that resulted from the UNfree marketplace was also totally-unknown back then...It's called "crack cocaine." Fentanyl (a synthetic form of heroin) also wasn't around then and is-around and killing addicts now. Other examples like the danger of "bathtub gin" during alcohol prohibition abound. Please read the Reason story, its an example of news the Masthead may not want to see, but it's also damn-good journalism in the face of PC-journalism, and important if you care about actually-protecting kids.
Come to think of it, Somalia is another example of where ONLY the libertarians are doing any actual journalism. Examples abound there, too. Would there be stimulants available to adults who want them in a free marketplace? Yes. Would they be safer than the stimulants currently available under prohibition? As long as product liability lawyers exist, yes.

Could GWB have given Kenny Boy & Enron billions in unsecured government loans in return for major campaign contributions?

We will never defeat the Iranians or Chinese without such leaders. In fact since Truman relieved McArthur in Korea our Generals have been covering their ass, and the ones that do show some old-fashion brut leadership don't make it pass one star (and usually go on to make a lot of money in the business world).

December 31, 2006 - 01:35 ET by Iron LadyI've often wondered if the media would have stayed on America's side if it had been a Democrat who was president now. After all, they hardly said a word about Bosnia when the US had no interest at all in that little war, huh?
But then, I don't think so. The left hasn't been nice to Tony Blair, have they?
I guess maybe we should just accept that the left today either doesn't care if madmen destroy others, including Americans and US targets OR they truly believe that when they get bored, problems disappear. Thus, anyone continues to try to fix anything is the real problem.
