Well said Rick. You described The Daily Show to a “t”. Stewart is an equal opportunity comedian and satirist.

REALLY MEDIAite? Sanchez is your new blogger? Jeeeeeesh

As to you Ricky boy…You were PROVEN as a typical racist democratic libturd. I hope you(I don’t) got 5 dollars for this post.

Hmmm…so Rick…your position is that comedians can’t be racist?  Does Michael Richards of Seinfeld fame ring a bell?

Well said Rick. well said.

Rick Sanchez? Isn’t he the loser CNN fired for making anti-Semitic remarks about the Jews controlling the media?

The double standards are obvious. That liberals choose to ignore them is understandable. If liberals lose the bigot card, they’re not left with much else. Rick should know, he’s used it plenty.

It’s neat how the left reacts when the bigot card gets thrown back in their face. Rick did it here. He brought up examples of Stewart mocking other groups of people. These types of examples are always cited by conservatives when a conservative is attacked for being a bigot for saying something less than fawning about any lefty minority. BUT, liberals like Rick ignore those excuses when conservatives do it.

Also, I’m sick & tired of the “he’s a comedian” line. Are there papers you have to fill out? Plenty of people are funny. Plenty of people make jokes all the time. However, jokes are only “acceptable” when they come from liberals.

If the left didn’t have double standards, they wouldn’t have any standards at all.

Bienvenido, compita.

Come on guys, give the man a 2nd chance. I didn’t really care for the guy on CNN, but we all deserve a chance to redeem ourelves.

Good Luck on your comeback Sanchez

Wow Rick it takes real guts to admit you were wrong about Stewart, I for one am glad to see you back around, I never thought CNN should have gotten rid of you in the first place, but it is very cool to see you back and I hope to see more of you on Mediaite.

Great column.

There are double standards, but they don’t just come from one side. It’s the blindness that too much partisan bias brings, and both sides are guilty. Jon S happens to a guy who defended the right form being accused to eagerly of racism. more than once.

Also, I’m sick & tired of the “he’s a comedian” line. Are there papers you have to fill out? Plenty of people are funny. Plenty of people make jokes all the time. However, jokes are only “acceptable” when they come from liberals.

There’s a big difference between a professional comedian and someone who tells a joke, and a show on Comedy Central vs a show on NEWS network. Jon’s job description, is making people laugh. Sanchez is right on. Comparing him to political pundits is false.

@lonestar77 why do you so much want to deem as anything else but a comedian? He makes people laugh on tv. He gets paid to make people laugh; so what’s the problem?

Here’s the problem I have with some conservatives: they cannot accept the idea that everything is not done from an ideological spectrum. That is why there is no mainstream right-wing comedian right now. EVERYTHING does not have to be based on political ideology. If you can make a crude/politically incorrect/racist joke and people laugh, you are success. it’s not about whether you are right-wing or left-wing; IT’S ABOUT BEING FUNNY.

Rick . Stewart is not the arbiter what is fair , what is right , or what is real .

He’s a lefty comic with a huge number of liberal writers .

He plays to his audience . He deserves no more credibility than Louis Anderson or Carrot Top .

The way Dems look at Stewart and the disgusting Maher as their spokesmen shows the lack of taste and intelligence on their part .

Rick said that Jon is a comedian that goes for the laugh while ridiculing all races, genders, and religions. Stewart goes after whites all the time, as well as Jews, Hispanics, Italians, and so on. He rarely goes after Blacks, and when he finally does, he’s branded as a racist? C’mon! Your idiotic statement about Michael Richards makes no sense since your premise is flawed. Plus Richards wasn’t telling a joke when he yelled at the Blacks in his audience. You owe Rick an apology for twisting his words and for your overall ignorance. When I first read your comment, I thought to myself, “What a f*cking jag-off” – seriously, that’s how you come off.

Rick is a joke, best suited for gimmicks like self-tasering. He was a loser on MSNBC, loser on CNN. It has nothing to do with his stupid remarks about Jon Stewrat beffore he got fired from CNN, or brown-nosing Jon Stewart since after he got fired. Rick is just a dim two watt bulb, not too bright. Rick is progressive, still MediaITE could have done better.

I can bet Stephen Colbert has some streaks of conservatism in him (him being a sunday school teacher and all) but his audience which is probably 90% liberal, do not care about that. Why? Because he is FUNNY. Dennis miller used to be funny until he made the mistake of thinking comedy equals ideology. That’s the point all these right-wing comedians missing. I tried watching stephen Chowder’s videos but the dude was unfunny. i tried to laugh but i couldn’t.

That’s a fair point although I tend to not agree with it. I don’t think you have to declare yourself a professional comedian in order to tell jokes about people. There are a hell of a lot of amateurs out there who are a heck of a lot funnier than say, Bill Maher. All jokes should be treated equally, regardless of whether or not you’ve given up your amateur status.

Also, Stewart IS a political pundit. He appears on a multitude of news programs to share his insights, not to just make jokes. I believe that he relishes his roles as a political pundit and as a hero to the left. That’s why I find it disingenuous when he falls back on the “I’m just a comedian” line. Nobody, including Jon, think’s he’s just a comedian.

I actually don’t think he meant to misrepresent Rick’s column at all, I just don’t think he understood the content but constructing strawmen is sort of how a lot of these people operate. How else could they defend their stilted opinions?

I watch south park, and I never realized that Trey parker and Matt Stone were Libertarians until an interview i read about them. And the reason why was because the show was and still is funny. I have far-left friends who watch south park who don’t care about the episodes ripping gays or minorities.

Why only pick on the straw man? There was also a tin man and a lion.

Precisely Bernie’s point, Rick.

The Ideologically corrupt “Mainstream Media” conjures, disseminates and reinforces that very narrative. It’s a calculated deception to maintain control over like groups of people, by portraying them as “victims” of anyone disagreeing with the Left.

Why does the Left go into panic-mode at the very mention of a black or hispanic conservative? Because the last thing they want to see are independent and self-reliant minorities.

John Micheal said:  ”He (Stewart) rarely goes after Blacks, and when he finally does, he’s branded as a racist?”

Eh…um…you are really out there, fella.  Next, you’ll be saying that the KKK deserves a pass for the occasional Mexican that they lynched.  Careful, your white sheet is showing.

Fact: I bet you had a delay button too before hit send on this article. Stewart is a racist.

It would have been racist if Stewart was mocking a black liberal.

Ah, those idiots are such easy pickings.

Who’s panicking? You can have all the token non-white-males you want. It’s just a bit sad when you trumpet your one black friend as evidence you’re not racist.

Its not “either/or”. The Daily Show is BOTH political commentary and comedy. It IS more difficult to do, and that is why it requires a team of writers along with a brilliant performer like Stewart. Having said that, the assessments of political commentary (like bias) do apply (even though comedy is also involved), and Stewart is being a little disingenuous by stating “we”re only a comedy show” when it is convenient.

WTF is wrong with Liberals? Never mind, the list is too long. I have voted against every Democratic Presidential candidate since I was old enough to vote. I will vote against every Democratic Presidential candidate long after Obama is a bad memory. So, suddenly the day I voted against the BLACK Democrat is the day I became a racist? I don’t care what color, sex, sexual preference, race or planet of origin the Democrat comes from, I am a CONSERVATIVE. I am not voting for a DEMOCRAT.

Are there racists out there? Sure. However, for the super majority it is strictly politics. We don’t believe in 95% of what Obama believes for political policy. We don’t share his vision of what America should look like.

How many of you Liberals would have voted for George Bush if he was black? All of you? After all, if you would have voted against him it would have soley been because he was black right? It would have had nothing to do with his politics?

So Jon Stewart couldn’t have mocked Herman Cain in a racist manner because Jon Stewart is not a reporter, a pundit, or a news anchor?…

Jon Stewart couldn’t have mocked Herman Cain in a racist manner because he’s a comedian who does imitations and has mocked other people who don’t happen to be white.

John Stewart couldn’t have mocked Herman Cain in a racist manner because Jon Stewart just wants to funny?

Jon Stewart couldn’t have mocked Herman Cain in a racist manner because he is engaged in being a mirror for our nation’s political and cultural hubris?

Jon Stewart couldn’t have mocked Herman Cain in a racist manner, because…well… for goodness sakes, people… he’s JON by golly STEWART!.

You’re a good-looking hunk of a man, Rick Sanchez, and that alone tends to make me forgive you for not being the brightest bulb on the Christmas tree. However, it sure as hell makes it clear why Jon Stewart DID mock you. And it sure as hell makes it clear why he considered you a stooge.

While it’s true that a much greater percentage of racists lean left, the right has had racists from time to time, too. Patriotic conservatives distance themselves from racist behavior, though. Remember when David Duke ran for the US Senate and the US House? Big smackdown, as opposed to guys like Byrd, KKK member, democrat, and only renounced racism when it became politically necessary. Kept getting voted in by racists pulling the “D” switch at the polls.

Kind of like Bill Maher had every opportunity to buy a place in Watts, but chose to get one in Beverly Hills instead.

Uh, Tawana Sharpton was when he covered for the Sarge.
Didn’t you see him fumbling over every sentence in his befuddlement over what to do about Herman Cain?

Here’s a simple exercise to bring you up to speed:
Just note which end of the political spectrum is always the one to introduce Race into a discussion; inevitably it’s the Democrat!

As my earlier post alluded to, Democrats obsess over the primitive concept of group identity, and they exploit that dysfunction to maintain control over their government-subsidized minority base!
Any minority member who dares run afoul of that primitive mindset poses a threat, and therefore must be vilified by the Democratic Media.

See the irony?

There are only a few people who might be more qualified to talk about race and Jon Stewart, than Rick Sanchez.

A small group of people I like to call, “Everyone else.”

I lean right myself. But this… It really is ridiculous. Comedians do voices, comedians do impressions. This Amos’n'Andy argument is asinine. Did Fox News cry racism when Stewart did his Obama voice, or his much-better Charley Rangel voice?

Maybe that’s why SNL’s Fred Armisen’s Obama is so bad. If he got too good at it, someone somewhere would call him racist.

(Of course, a quick Google search for Fred Armisen Racist yields 300,000 hits. *sigh*.)

A grammatical error in the very first sentence. Welcome aboard, Rick!

Bernie said on more than one occassion while discussing this on the air, “Jon is not a racist”, he said it several times. For argument’s said he claimed lets assume “Jon is a racist” because of the numerous and outlandish attacks against any/all conservative. Conservatives are deemed “racists” every day by the hosts of msnbc, the tea party patriots were deemed racists daily by the hosts on msnbc. that was the point of Bernie’s discussion.

And, Jon is an activist first and a comedian second; Rick should know that.

Oh, and Rick, despite your “latino” ethnic pretentions and affectations, Stewart sees you as just another stupid goy.

So your “exercise” is to consider anyone who “introduces” race into a conversation part of the race problem?
Dr. King should have been silent?
NAACP needs to disband?
W.E.B. DuBois was a malcontent?
Frederick Douglas liked to talk too much?
This exercise is no fun for me… but I can see where the opponents of Black leadership and freedom would absolutely love it.

NORBIT Jr. said:
Democrats obsess over the primitive concept of group identity

Point of order… is this group identity a “primitive concept” alone? Do “primitive concept”(s) no longer animate in concrete modern ways? Is reference to race simply a reference to distant past or is it criticism of the practical and daily impact that racial thinking continues to have on people of color?

NORBIT Jr. said:
to maintain control over their government-subsidized minority base!

What “primitive disfunction” can enlighten our understanding of “subsidies” to other institutions? Churches, business, farms, etc… or is it only when poor people of color receive some public benefit that the dark cloud of “primitive” “disfunction” darkens the land?

NORBIT Jr. said:

Are you comfortable claiming that “minority” citizens and nearly all “run afoul” of “primitive mindset”?

While it’s true that your statement has no basis in fact, it is true that Byrd grew as a human being and was thoughtful enough to realize that the way he had been raised and behaved as a young man were wrong.

And it’s also true that some Republicans had the wit to recognise how toxic Duke was (40 years after Byrd renounced racism as a viable way to govern).

The left has a “communal modus operandum” and that is too mock, ridicule and laugh at those whom they oppose. And Yes, Jon Boy is a part of that Hollywood / Lame Stream Media Crowd. Just watch the smirk on a Liberal’s Face and listen close to the disdaining sound of their voice. They use this weapon to defeat the conservative viewpoint and many in the USA fall for it.

Another moronic libturd. Comic? I suppose Behar and Mahar are ‘comics’ too? You sir are a Moron.

The bottom line is; Up until Obama came on the scene everything was seen through political eyes whether it be arguments, discussions, comedy, print, media or radio. That all changed with Obama. Now everything is seen first seen through race related eyes. Nothing can be stricly political anymore it all has to be about race from both sides. Liberals see any disagreement of Obama (only from people on the right) as 100% race driven. People on the right are sick to death seeing the race card tossed out at every turn no matter what they say. There is no distinction between political banter and actual racist comments by scumbags. Everything is given equal racial weighting from Liberals and they label everyone as a racist. Racial relations have been set back for years and years thanks to Liberal ignorance.

The left has a “communal modus operandum” and that is too mock, ridicule and laugh at those whom they oppose. And Yes, Jon Boy is a part of that Hollywood / Lame Stream Media Crowd. Just watch the smirk on a Liberal’s Face and listen close to the disdaining sound of their voice. They use this weapon to defeat the conservative viewpoint and many in the USA fall for it. Behind closed doors; I’m sure they laugh at the Sheeple that they so easily beguile….

I am a member of that CMO you’ve detected. Yes, we make jokes that will destroy the right wing. We consider humor more powerful than reason, planning, commonsense, or strength of character.

And we spend all our time behind closed doors laughing at people like you — no time left to laugh at any “sheeple.”

Behar is a celebrity commentator; Mahar is a comic who employs a roundtable talk segment on his current show. This is so difficult for you to understand? Hmmm. One might question your ability to think clearly.

Nice way to excuse his behavior in a sweet little fluffy bunny sort of way. He was still defending the KKK in 1958 when he was 41 years old. I don’t consider that a “young man.” Did he have a change of heart or realized it would be politically in his best interest to keep his racial thoughts to himself? Only he can know.

I find it hard to believe that any sentient being can pretend that racism was absent from politics prior to Obama’s appearance on the scene. That statement alone invalidates anything you have to say.

Yes, we can totally see that with Liberals. They re-elected Robert Byrd how many times as Senator even though the man was a flaming racist? They re-elected Ted Kennedy after he killed an innocent girl. They re-elected Bill Clinton because after all, it was just lying and a bj. They re-elected Hank Johnson even though he thinks Guam will tip over if too many Marines are sent there. Yes, we get that there is no one dumb enough, crooked enough, racist or lacking character enough for Democrats not to re-elect as long as you can find humor in the situation.

If you are black and don’t have the views you are supposed to(because apparently everyone who is part of that race is supposed to have a pre-programmed unitary mindset because they are all the same), you are mentally ill and shouldn’t be thinking for yourself.

Again, anyone who actually tries to argue that racism is only present on one side; or more than the other; is a delusional fool. Probably brainwashed as well.

“Come on guys, give the man a 2nd chance. I didn’t really care for the guy on CNN, but we all deserve a chance to redeem ourelves. ”

—Why? He’s doing the same liberal crap he’s always done. He’s defending Jon Stewart! Talk about being inconsistent, first he attacks Jon Stewart for being Jewish and says the Jews control the media. (tell that to Christians like Ted Turner and Rupert Murdoch, it seems they didn’t get the memo). Now he defends Jon Stewart and says he’s not a racist.

The reality is that most liberals are racist when it comes to black Republicans. Liberals only like blacks when they’re in the plantation picking progressive cotton. But when a black opposes affirmative action, welfare, and liberalism like Clarence Thomas does, he becomes a n-word in the minds of white liberals. Why do you think Condoleeza Rice was called “Aunt Jemima” by a white radio host?

“You sure are the one to be talking about racist remarks aren’t you. You are a joke.”

—The word mulatto isn’t racist. You need a dictionary.

The is the best article I have read on Mediaite. Bravo for telling it like it is. Jon Stewarts gets on everybody. He is a comedian.

Rick Sanchez has no credibility..now or at anytime he was blabbering on CNN ….another leftist with huge ego and thin skin…that ran over a guy while drunk.

LOL. I guess as long as you appologize for being a Kleagle in the KKK as well as an Exalted Cyclops that erases any racial prejudice you have and makes you fine Senator material for Democrats. However, had Robert Byrd voted against Obama he would have gone back to being a racist – just sayin’

I didn’t say what you attributed to me, but I wish I had.

This is where the drunken murder Rick Sanchez has got it wrong. No profession excuses you from responsibility for the things you say and do. Comedians can be bigots (Amos and Andy was a comedy show) and Jon race baits, it’s what he does, he even admitted it on Chris’s show. Race baiting isn’t murder so in this case I think Jon is a much better person than is RS. This article is an attempt by RS to justify his own race baiting.

Point of order… is this group identity a “primitive concept” alone? Do “primitive concept”(s) no longer animate in concrete modern ways? Is reference to race simply a reference to distant past or is it criticism of the practical and daily impact that racial thinking continues to have on people of color? What “primitive disfunction” can enlighten our understanding of “subsidies” to other institutions? Churches, business, farms, etc… or is it only when poor people of color receive some public benefit that the dark cloud of “primitive” “disfunction” darkens the land? Are you comfortable claiming that “minority” citizens and nearly all “run afoul” of “primitive mindset”? What is most remarkable about your stance is that it borrowed and aged. The exact argument was made after African Americans were finally liberated from state sponsored slavery and provided the basic aid to improve their positions in American society… http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/3/33/Freedman%27s_bureau.jpg It was a race based political assault then… you have provided no improvements,

Sadly, the ephemeral nature of dynamic identity seems to have eluded your consideration.

Rick “Get out of my way when I’m behind the wheel” Sanchez works for Media Matters as a coach training young recruits on their illegally tax payer funded war on Fox News.
I don’t give a Damn what he says about anything, just like I’m sure the famiy of Jeffrey Smuzininc, who Rick Sanchez hit with his car after leaving a Dolphins game drunk & left the scene. Jeffrey died paralyzed in an assisted living home 5 Years later. Sanchez was never charged with hitting him or for his murder.
Your “opinion” means nothing Rick.

Pop. My bad Ricky. That was David Shuster who’s the Media Matters “mentor “. I get you trashed lib reporters mixed up. There’s so many of you.

I don’t know where you got the idea that “Stockholm Syndrome “ is in any way a political “disease” because it wasn’t, and isn’t.

Right, I mean he refused to hire a writer because the writer was conservative; but he has no bias… and he’s “just a comedian” except when he isn’t.

You’re buying the “clown nose on” assuming there isn’t a “clown nose off” as soon as he decides thee is a new liberal cause to promote.

So he’s not racist… I never thought he was. He is biased to the liberal side, and he consistently hides behind the “just a comedian” shield… unless he’s making a point when he wants to be taken seriously; then he’s totally serious.

Rick Sanchez? Really, Mediaite? Does your credibility really mean so little to you?

Hey Rick, how long does it take you to fall asleep at night knowing that you murdered an innocent person because you were too arrogant to call a cab?

I think it is unconscionably cruel of Mediaite to make Rick Sanchez publicly humiliate himself with a column this way.

I mean, come on guys. Have mercy. He was fired from CNN, and he’s probably really sorry about the kid he ran over and the whole blaming the Jews for 9/11 thing. Let the poor guy’s career rest in peace.

Rick, you were spot on and 100% correct in everything you said in your article. You’ve made some mistakes as any human but, more than most, you were big enough to admit you were wrong. Admitting you were wrong takes courage and I can respect that. Admitting you were wrong is not something that happens around Mediaite very much, even in the face of overwhelming evidence and facts, as you’ll come to find out. Welcome aboard.

The concept of “celebrity commentator” is hard for you to grasp? It’s not exactly a new idea. Homer was a celebrity commentator. Herodotus was a celebrity commentator; de Toqueville was a celebrity commentator. The same is true of Thomas Paine, Jean Paul Marat, Edward R. Murrow, Glenn Beck. Millions of others.

Please buy a clue. I’ll loan you a buck.

I like Jon Stewart he’s funny but not really partisan either.

Of course there’s a double-standard. It’s ludicrous to think otherwise.

OK so Sanchez is saying Rush vs. Stewart is not apples-to-apples. Fine — so what if Dennis Miller had done the Amos-n-Andy routine? Does anyone seriously think the MSM would’ve given Miller the free pass that Stewart got? HELL NO!

QED

Well said Mr. Sanchez.

The very people accusing Stewart are many of the same people saying political correctness is out of control.

You can’t have it both ways.

And when Jon does his nasaly NY Jew voice….then he must be anti-Semitic?

This is classic Fox News never confronting the fact they actively push a GOP agenda by smearing the messenger and distracting from the points he made.

Fox News trying to steer the debate away from their agenda driven platform.

Comment on the headline.

I’m guessing that the headline comes from someone from Mediaite and not from Rick Sanchez because when I clicked on the link to his web site no such headline was there. It’s relevant because the headline is a misrepresentation of what’s in the article. He never says or implies that comedy cannot be biased. So, to whom it may concern on mediaite, if you’re going to post a person’s article, please cap it with am accurate headline rather than a false one.

“I think it is time for fans of Jon Stewart to start worrying about him. He has not been right since the day CNN confronted his friend, Anthony Weiner, outside the then-congressman’s office — and Stewart attacked CNN for doing its job.

Stewart has been in a real tailspin since Weiner admitted his lies a week after that. But the event that seems to have really pushed Stewart off the rails is the interview he did with Chris Wallace on “Fox News Sunday” June 19.”

“I think it is time for fans of Jon Stewart to start worrying about him. He has not been right since the day CNN confronted his friend, Anthony Weiner, outside the then-congressman’s office — and Stewart attacked CNN for doing its job.

Stewart has been in a real tailspin since Weiner admitted his lies a week after that. But the event that seems to have really pushed Stewart off the rails is the interview he did with Chris Wallace on “Fox News Sunday” June 19.”

What a complete steaming load this is. Anyone who watched the Daily Show saw Jon cover the issue himself and even make fun of the conflict of Weiner being a childhood friend. He even mocked Weiner for not being straightforward and said , before Weiner confessed”, if you did it, you have to go.” Whoever authored that piece is just fabricating.

“In that interview, he lied about Fox News viewers being the “most consistently misinformed” of news consumers and then he compounded the false charge by saying “every poll” shows this to be true. And if you look at the video tape, you will see he makes the claim not once but twice – almost spitting the words “consistently misinformed” in Wallace’s face. PolitiFact, the Pulitzer-Prize-winning fact checking operation, labeled Stewart’s statements false.

And I was willing to let it rest after Sunday’s “Reliable Sources.” But, remarkably, Stewart went back to the Wallace interview Monday night for a full segment on his “Daliy Show” — more than eight days after it happened.

And he really was obsessing and parsing and sounding like a graduate student whose first draft of a dissertation just got shredded by his or her Ph.D. committee — and he or she can’t accept being corrected.

Honestly, what happened Monday night on “The Daily Show” in the Fox interview re-play isn’t comedy, it feels more like neurosis. And its time for the adults at Comedy Central to call Little Mister Can’t Be Wrong into the glass office and tell him it is time to admit his mistake, turn the page and move on without whining — the way most of the journalists he so likes to mock do every day.

After the Fox interview, Stewart whined that Fox edited him to look like “a woman on the verge of a nervous breakdown.” You don’t need any Fox editing to see him heading in that direction all by himself in this segment from last night. ”

Rick Sanchez?? Really? Mediaite has proven itself to be a hack conservative-heavy media site. Hilariously bad.

Interesting article? Purposely laid out in the usual Liberal justification style that suggests a Liberal mouthpiece can say any repugnant thing they want to say and then hide behind the word “comedy”, as though that word forgives the cowardice Stewart uses to make his point. And that point is almost 100% anti-Conservative, proving Stewart is a mouthpiece for the Liberal Left. Had his so-called, comedy attacks been anywhere near equal, he would have had some credibility but, the truth is, their nowhere near being equal.
Much like this article, Stewart will sprinkle just enough truth around in his rhetoric to make it seem he is being objective, when in fact he’s being completely subjective.

Imo, Rick spoke his true feelings, during the rant which lead to his firing. Personally, I’m not fond of Rick’s liberal-leaning politics, however, I don’t think Rick should have to grovel to Jon Stewart, in order to find employment. Also, I believe Rick was 100% correct when he said that liberals are nice to him to his face, but not so kind, behind his back, to paraphrase. It’s no secret that white pseudo-liberals are a crock of two-faced poo. I’m glad Rick is working again, however, he shouldn’t have to grovel to Stewart.

Best regards for you all,

Looking forward to your visiting.

Goldberg asks the stupid question: “…[W]hy isn’t Jon Stewart a bigot,” Bernie writes, “when Limbaugh and Hannity and O’Reilly would be tagged as racists if they had done the same thing?” Is he so ignorant of the FACT that that Limbaugh, Hannity, O’Liely and entire Fox propaganda network have a demonstrated history of race-baiting and hate for years? Comedy Central nor Jon Stewart does.

Please put up a less disturbing picture .

Serial killer’s photos should be banned , anyway .

Not funny .

You don’t like my icon? I’m looking for something between “boo-hoo” and “go pound sand,” but I think I’ll settle on “tough luck.”

And, just because facts sometimes matter and are often stubborn things, I can tell you with authority that the icon is not a serial killer.

I’m interested though — in a clinical way — why you seem so sure it is. Hmmm . . .

the fact that you admire Joy tells us a lot about you.

Remember I’m the not “zealot” who fabricated a name for that moron. I’m quite happy just to refer to her (when I have to) as a left wing bat.

Quod erat demonstrandum.

Jon was very sympathetic and quite generous toward Sanchez at the end of their tiff over Sanchez’ anti-Semitic remarks. Jon tried to throw him a lifeline, but it was too late. . . Sanchez sank below the waves of judgment and condemnation, into the abyss of insignificance.

It just dawned on me, if Rick repeats the words, “their’s no bias in comedy”, three times, and then clicks his heals, he can stay in Never-Never Land and believe that crap along with the rest of the numb-nut Progressives.

Rick Sanchez’s article said:
People on the left are no less likely to be prejudiced than people on the right. I’ve experienced that first-hand. Racism knows no politics. Racism doesn’t exist only on one end of the political spectrum.

Hey Rick, you might also add that Racism knows no one RACE…

I tdon’t think Sanchez ever wrote that. I think someone at Mediaite who wrote that title and IMO, made a bad judgement that’s needs correcting. I clicked on the link in the article to the original post and those words are not there and are not in the article. I don’t think Rick wrote it, and I think it’s a fairly egregious mistake by whoever did, since what he wrote says nothing of the kind. Not even close.

For us truly advanced conservative humans, the idiotic remarks of lunatic-left clowns like sanchez are like the high-pitch emissions that only dogs can hear – we don’t hear a word of the blithering nonsense, while the lunatic-left sit-up and absorb every syllable with their tongues hanging out. Perhaps, in another couple of millennia, the lunatic-left will evolve to a level where most conservatives are today – but then, of course, we will have evolved to a level that is still far, far above them !!!!

Some of you seem to be disturbed by the avatar currently being used by “mediadoubt”. Don’t let it bother you. Apparently there are no guidelines on the avatar you can use. (Hey Mediaite – if there are, please let me/us know.) I have noticed people – on this site and other sites – have used “inappropriate” avatars. Most frequently some people use an avatar that looks mad or like someone you would not want to approach. I think this is a ruse. A “sheep in wolf’s clothing” to turn around the phrase.
So… think outside the box when it comes to avatars. If “a picture is worth a thousand words” you can be offended real fast. You can also get real offensive real fast…

Which is to say, conservatives don’t hear anything they don’t already agree with. This is not exactly breaking news.

No matter how you dress this crap up it’s still Jr High name calling. Perhaps adults ought to learn how to have rational discussions on issues. If you can’t, maybe you should quit blaming everyone else.

Really MEDIAITE? This is from Friday……

No bias in comedy? If 96% of comedians are liberals and 96% of their jokes where one or another ideology or party is hammered is at the expense of Republicans that isn’t biased? Really? Hey, are you that new investor I heard about that joined the partnership to buy the Brooklyn bridge?

You hopeless nitwit. (Does stating that violate Mediaite’s terms & conditions?)

The icon on my posts is a picture of *me.* It was taken near the Monocacy battlefield in July of 2005 during an outdoor concert celebrating — wait for it — American independence.

Your obsession with this issue — a total fantasy — is highly illustrative of the perspective and sense you offer in your posts. Which is to say, none whatsoever.

Get a clue, fer crissakes!

Please copy and paste nitwit observation above.

The vast majority of funniness belonging to liberals has a number of causes.

1) Conservatives, as a rule, aren’t very funny, since laughter usually requires the ability to laugh at oneself, something that is difficult to do with a 2 X 4 up your butt.

2) Humorists often come from the ranks of the college-educated, and you know what happens when you send kids away to college — they learn shit and then turn into liberals.

3) It’s a plot. Liberals actually run everything and very carefully screen out any comedy that doesn’t align with their worldview.

4) Obsession with resentment seriously restricts one’s comic range.

5) Did I mention that conservatives aren’t very funny?

Wait, wait, wait! I didn’t tell you to swill through your butt! Put the enema bag down and walk away from the gurney.

Trust me, I only want the best for you.

That best is none too good, of course, but I’m sure you’ve grown used to living with your “limitations.”
