BEST DAILY SHOW EVER

John is on fire with Stephen Hayes who's pimping a book on Iraq-Al Queda connection. Watch it tomorrow at 7. Some excerpts (don't read if you haven't already seen. seriously, he's brilliant, and you're gonna come after me and try and set me on fire later if I ruin it for you): ________________________________________________________________ UPDATE My Diary is better than the one above and below. Nah, I'm just kidding, they're all good, just wanted to play with the new editing feature. But seriously: Extra, extra, Todd smells

Diaries :: slapshot57's diary ::

John
I'm gonna name four things:
Developing Weopens of mass destruction
Strong Rhetoric against the U.S.
Oppression of their people
Supposed ties to terrorists (?????)
Now, you can't tell me which country I'm talking about. It could be Iraq, Iran, Korea, or Sudan.
Stephen
Wait, Iran's never used chemical weapons

John
the whole Iran-Iraq war, they were mustard gassing each other

Stephen
Well that's never been proven

John
well after reading this I don't think you're all that qualified to talk about what's been proven

also later.....
Stephen
well these same people who've been criticizing the president, what if something happened in 2005 after Bush had been reelected with chemical weapons that could be traced back to Iraq

John
well, we were attacked by 15 Saudis and we haven't done anything to them yet.

Seriously, John is BY FAR the best asset for just confronting stupidity we have out there. The charm combined with his brilliance combined with his self-depreciation, he's untouchable

and colin quinn just came on. Honestly I think comedy central just keeps him on as a beard for john stewart.

i will concede that communism still exists in those two countries, and that the complete defeat of communism (the replacement of those goverments with some oter form of governance) is pending.

China has a system that does not qualify as communist (as defined by Marx, Engels, and Lenin). It has morphed into a communist - capitalist hybrid, perhaps you haven't read the newspaper recently and don't know this.

Do you know what "true communism" is? As defined by Marx when the capitalist societies crumble, the "have-nots" come together and distribute wealth equally, eliminating all classes (however this is impossible due to the greedy nature of people). Not communist-dictatorships where everyone lives in poverty while the ruler is wealthy.

Still awaiting a response from the flaming neocon.....

Will that list of yours fit in your sig? If so, that may be a good idea.

Conjur, I checked the official DS site, and nothing. A few Google searches have come up empty too. I guess you can poke around at the DS site yourself and see if you find something. Linky

It was almost uncomfortable watching the interview, as John came as close to calling Hayes a liar as he possibly could. Hayes himself looked REALLY uncomfortable. It was pathetic really. Hayes just sat there taking it like "Oh yeah, I know that my book is based on a discredited Feith memo. Whatever. I can't do anything about it now except keep promoting it and hope some idiots on the right actually buy into this load of crap..."

It was a really strong interview by Stewart; and as Deal says, almost uncomfortable to watch as Stewart just laid into him relentlessly. Great episode.

OMG. So PWNED

 

[YellowRose]

And Americans have gone to train with OBL does that make the US responsible for 9-11. Is there a US- Iraq-Al Queda connection?

PA system: "Paging heartsurgeon, heartsurgeon. Mr. Integrity needs emergency surgery...."

Iraqi National Congress you say?

The newspaper said the newly released document was obtained from the Iraqi National Congress as part of a trove that the exile group gathered after Saddam was toppled last year. Some of the intelligence provided by the group has been discredited.

how many millions dead?

the final common pathway of Marxism or communism is a totalitarian state with
no accountability, and concentration of power and wealth in the hands of a few "elite"

how many "examples" or"attempts" at marxist doctrine before someone admits it just wrongheaded..

Scary.

You just described the Bush administration.

I see you don't have enough testosterone to cede his point on this. What an ignorant statement.

It is scary.

Some? What relevant parts? If "some" parts of the intelligence have been "discredited" does it follow that all of it has been discredited?

Perhaps you're just not paying attention. Your ridiculous claims have once again been refuted and found to have big giant holes that a bigrig can drive thru. Only the truly ignorant would continue to believe the crap you're spewing. But please, carry on like nothing is amiss. It seems to be your MO.

 

[heartsurgeon]

nothing I have said has been refuted. apparently those of you with english as your second language, need to take a refresher course on the meaing of simple words.

 

[NeoV]

wait HS, you are saying you still think that the guy in Sadaam's fedayeen, or however the heck you spell it, is the same guy as the well-known Al-Q guy? How many articles saying "we don't think its the same guy" do you need to see before you believe otherwise?

I understand your feelings - your partisanship, your right-leaning, etc, etc...but what happened to objectivity, or common sense? This thread, much like your "WMD's found" thread, has been ripped to shreds - open your eyes and see the truth, its out there
