A Raving Liberal's Complaints About Obama (Page 4)

Bill Maher at his best: Shortly after Steve Irwin died tragically of a string ray sting, our friend Bill goes to a Halloween Party.

Ughh!!  The voice of a movement.  Any normal society would shun a fool like this.

I guess I share his sense of humor.  Shortly after Roy (of Sigfried and Roy) was mauled by a tiger, I went as Roy to a halloween party.  I carried a stuffed white tiger, had big bloody scratches across my face, and did up a white shirt with glitter that said 'Roy' on the back.

Define "normal society".  Are Conservatives normal and Liberals abnormal? 

Well, first- you need to be somebody worth his time.  He did a great spar with Ann Coulter- I think it was at Radio City Music hall.  He wiped the floor with her. 

He's not someone who shies away from debating issues... he does it every week.

Frankly- I find that his show is most worth watching when he has 2 of his panel that represent the right.  When there is only one, I see him time and time again make sure that the conservative opinion gets heard  -and then he makes fun of it...  But- that's debate.

it's not easy to take a complex argument, boil it down to its salient point, and come up with a quick and funny way to present it.  Perhaps 'easy' is not the word you were looking for.

Political cartoonists have been around for as long as there has been freedom of the press.  They serve an important role to help us look at ourselves.  Where are all the right wing social commentary comedians?  Conservatives just aren't funny.  (No, Rush and Beck are funny because you are laughing AT them, not With them.  big difference)

Honestly I think most liberals would've put health care pretty far down their list of priorities if asked in 2008.

Had Obama made something else his priority (like, say, the economy) then there wouldn't have been this rallying cry of FUD from the far right.  He'd have had a chance at maintaining 60 votes in the Senate and I'd give even-odds of Democrats still controlling the House.  He burned way too much political capital on a single item on his list, when the country has many more things that need to be addressed.
