I guess we'll see how that tactic works in November:
Speaking on health care Monday, Senator Diane Feinstein said, "I've gotten 90,000 emails and faxes on the health care bill and over 85,000 of them are against it. After all the debate we've had, I can't believe so many people still don't get it!"
fun to read, i think people forget that while the daily show is not news, neither is Rush, his show is for entertainment purposes only.
Also I can't wait to hear a arguement against the fossil, although it wouldn't suprise me if i hear it in this thread.
i know its off topic now, but the world is round, you better take care of your brothers and sisters or who else will. The whole political arena is just disgusting, 90 percent are hypocrites on both sides and honestly i am disillusioned with the whole process-that being said, anytime rich people are pissed about something, the average workin man is prolly not getting screwed to bad.
That is really not true. His show is not a news show, but it is ABOUT news, and an ANALYSIS of news. Rush is a COMMENTATOR. Just because he does it in an entertaining manner does not make it entertainment and it doesn't make him an entertainer.
OTOH, Jon Stewart IS an ENTERTAINER. By profession he is a COMMEDIAN. His show is on an ENTERTAINMENT channel.
Logic.

While I do agree with the sentiment here Tom, lets remember that it is not a news show but as you say a commentary which is only OPINION.
He feels he delivers that opinion in an entertaining way and hopes to "educate" you to his way of thinking. That does not make it (his opinion) right or factual and is also delivered in a controversial way so as to gain (or maintain) audience share.
While I do agree basically with his sentiment, I have stopped listening as I have more important things to attend to.
You misunderstand. I don't care about your allegations of a conspiracy / friendship between Rush and the founder of The Sullivan Group.
You made THAT claim, and YOU claimed it compromised the data- so that would be for YOU to substantiate.
You're correct. There was absolutely no reason to call into question data that you never substantiated in the first place.
So, instead of refuting your claim that Rush is right 98.6% of the time, instead I'll just ask you to substantiate that claim. Up until now, you've provided no evidence to support that claim, and as far as I know, you're just making it up.
The onus is now on you to substantiate the claim you made above...otherwise, there is no reason to believe it.
Plus, I'm always a little skeptical to accept a data claim from an organization that was founded by a guy who has multiple felonies on his criminal record...
Oh, and those opinions really shouldn't be construed as logic:
- "News show" and "Entertainer" are subjective terms, so trying to prove whether someone or something fits the term isn't possible.
- Just because someone is an entertainer doesn't preclude them from being something else, such as a reporter or newscaster. So, applying the term "entertainer" to disprove someone is not a newscaster doesn't hold.
- There is nothing to preclude an entertainment channel from airing things that are not considered entertainment (such as MTV having serious news segments). So, you can't prove that a program doesn't fit the category of news just because it's on a station that's typically labeled entertainment.
What you provided was opinion without any stated conclusion. It was far from logic.
I'm sure you'll feel the need to attack me for pointing this out, but consider that instead of spending time attacking, you could study some logic.
I guess we'll see how that tactic works in November:
I remember this debate. Larry, you were prophetic. We did see how these tacitcs worked. The "smarterer" people LOST THEIR A__ES in a historic landslide butt kicking!
Watch, now they'll tell us they were smart enough to lose. :lol: :lol: :lol:
Okay, fine. The hate mongers won this time. Just wait until 2012. You'll see!
The republicans actually think they won. They didn't. Obama is still president, and Harry Reid will still be Senate majority leader.
As for all the states legislatures and governorships that turned red. Doesn't matter that much. Just an indication that the type of hate speech on FOX works at brainwashing people.

:wink: You're absolutely right Tom. The liberals need to band together and stay strong on their message. The smartest move they could have made was to re-elect Nancy Pelosi as Spea....I mean minority leader of the House.
