Good read, but a very contradictory article.

That show has NOTHING to do with politics nor those that were being discussed (Stewart & Limbaugh)
Enjoy your game of semantics.

Sorry - Jinx already answered you.

I never said it was political. I said that it was comparable, in the context that Jinx had set up as her objection to Stewart. Which is why the "who said it was?" was addressed explicitly to the "political", and I addressed the "comparable" separately.

And then you deleted that explanation as irrelevant, repeated the false implication that I had said AFV was political, and complained about semantics.

Uh huh, and again, what SIDE am I on if I say I don't like the stupid video show?

How did I miss that?

I'm guessing "the other side"

Huh? I asked whether you thought its premise was arrogant, not whether you liked it. I was curious what exactly Stewart was doing that placed his arrogance as equal to Limbaugh's outrageousness, but didn't place Limbaugh's arrogance at the same level.

SIDEs were more along Pico's thread than mine, and in that thread you clarified that it was Stewart as a liberal making fun of conservatives doing stupid things that you thought was arrogant. It seems to me that in your effort not to take a SIDE, you may have allowed your definition of arrogance to do so.

I'm sorry I got you all going on this track. Heinline said all humor is based on making fun of someone. I have no problem with that. If, however, you invite someone on your show, and then ambush them, and then show your smarmy arrogance by saying they're morally wrong, That sucks. I've seen it done lots of times, and it shows just elitist arrogance. By the way, when the people in those studies who become liberals in their young life finally grow up, the tables turn the other way. No offence to my liberal bretheren.

You didn't watch the whole interview. You can't get any real idea of how a 20minute interview was conducted in a few second clips from youtube.
There was no "ambushing" and the clips of Jim Cramer that Jon played, he gave Jim ample time/ability to respond.

Flint · 09-21-2010, 10:09 PM

But the crappy video he posted SAID that's what happened, so that's what happened.

I've seen it happen on the conservative shows, too.

Do you have any evidence to support that assertion?
