BREAKING NEWS:

Documents indicating CORRUPTION with the Solyndra Scandal —– Trails directly to the WHITE HOUSE!

Can you say IMPEACH?
lol

Mr. Bolling doesn’t shock me anymore. Nothing to see here. Moving on…

BWAHAHHAHAHAHAAHAH!!!

You put this in the Muppet article???

You really are DESPERATE for relevancy in your life!!!

TeaBagger Death Cult members are stupidly HILARIOUS!!!!

This coming from a guy who would like Bush’s ass as he shredded the Constitution…way to stay consistent buddy.

Until every single child in America is NEVER going to bed hungry, we should stop every single nickel from leaving this country. Government funding for pakistan and any other country STOP. Donations from our citizens to help any people of any other country, food – water – misquito nets – STOP IT ALL. Feed OUR KIDS FIRST!!!!!

Perhaps Mr. Bolling believes if you don’t show it, it doesn’t exist.  Bad news Eric, there are poor, hungry children in America today.  Just not at America’s network though.  There’s no place like home…..there’s no place like home….there’s no place like home…..at your luxury home in the Hamptons, right Eric.

Uh, which story are you responding to there Norby?

The Muppets are stupid. Creating a new one to represent children of liberals who refuse to feed them is stupid. Bershad, focus on the big picture, dumbass.

STOP IT ALL. Feed OUR KIDS FIRST!!!!!
The schools feed them breakfast and lunch, if they were to feed them dinner, it would take their drug addicted parents out of the picture. With some parents, being a nanny state is necessary. 

Of course you can’t fathom it, Eric. You have no soul. Only you and your fellow money-changers couldn’t see the purpose of having kids see a humane portrayal of an impoverished character.

Remember the kids that harassed the poor kid in school for getting school lunches and wearing hand-me-down clothes? Behold the grown up version of one of those spoiled little asswipes!

it seems 98% of republicans come from well to do off families that dont care about the poor

Muppets have no race.

HEY HANITIY!
CUT THE BS!

they dont even want them to be represented in society
like they’re not a part of our realities

Tax money maybe,  People choosing to donate is quite another thing, Why don’t you try thinking as yourself a citizen of this planet? Is a starving child less deserving of food because where that child lwas born or lives. Hunger pain is real.This pain does not discriminate.

Wait, what? You’re serious?

Names? Quotes? Anything???

dont be such a nitwit, poverty will never be eradicated…letting kids from other countries die until all the kids in america are fine is the most stupidest thing I’ve heard

what makes it worse is that you probably dont even care about the poor here…you want to act like they dont exist like these morons on fox specially the women who go why do kids need to see there are poor ppl, why?!?!

your ultimate goal is stop ppl from getting help from the government

George Soros who was convicted of insider trading bankrolled Barack Obama’s campaign is as corrupt as anybody ‘The Left tries to portray Republicans as but Obama’s got his head so far up his a@@ refuses to acknowledge this.

Sounds like 98% of libs are poor because they have no jobs.

OK- list how he shredded it.

I can’t wait to hear this!

OK- list how he shredded it.

I can’t wait to hear this!

And you no brain.

Yes, the left’s mentor is a convicted felon!

correct me if i’m wrong, you *want* americans to be poor and unemployed?

you’ll actually have a much bigger crisis on your hands if desperate foreigners can’t eat, so
the costs are well worth it.  and that doesn’t even begin to address the moral question of allowing
human beings to die from starvation.  

so one bad guy?  nice one.

what about the koch brothers?  that’s two guys, so i win that argument

Obama-garglers are so busy trying to cover up the fact that Barack Obama used to hang out with the New Black Panthers they have no time for reflection. Boohoohoohoo!

Obama-garglers pretend to care about the poor. Fucking Hypocrites!

Your reality is distorted by your head being so firmly up your ass! LMFAO! Heheheheheheh!

You truly need to take a comprehension class, darloon.

And what have they been convicted of?

I win.

correct me if i’m wrong, you think that 98% of liberals are unemployed by choice?

Poor uninformed ERIC

“Subsidiaries of the global business empire headed by the Koch Brothers, who have helped bankroll an array of conservative, anti-regulatory causes, made illegal payments to win foreign contracts, Bloomberg Markets magazinereports in a detailed investigation in its November issue. In addition, foreign subsidiaries belonging to Koch Industries sold millions in petrochemical equipment to an Iranian methanol plant, Bloomberg also reports.”

All my emails for the last 9 years have been copied and possibly read by the government.

And my tax dollars were used to torture people.

Honest question,does Eric Boiling hate poor people?This is just the latest evidence of him having a fit over the though of poverty.

Stop playing on mommy’s iPad Trig!

Then don’t moralize to the rest of us Punk Motherfucker! Tell that to your President while your at it.

i have no idea what your point is

This IS Sesame Street, we’re talking about, right? Inner-city New York? Even as a lower class white boy myself, I just assumed that most of the characters were poorer than me. Big Bird sleeps outside in the rain, Oscar lives in a trash can, and Ernie and Bert live in the basement, for crying out loud.

So that he doesn’t have to pay any overnight parking fees, Barack Obama drives his campaign bus up Michelle Obama’s big, fat, nutrient-rich ass. It’s so roomy. Thanks for cuttin’ down on the govt. spending ‘Prez. LMFAO! Heheheheheheheh!

3 wars and an expansion of the Patriot Act. Over 2000 dead suspected terrorists. Talk about shredding the Constitution. I’d rather be waterboarded than blown to smithereens, what about all you Obama-garglers?

You’re an Obama-gargler, ergo, a dumbfuck! LMFAO!. Heheheheheh! 

Thanks for playing! Nancillarypeloslinton: PUNKING ‘libscum since 1993.

Did I say that Obama was better?  No, I didn’t I said that Bush shredded the Constitution, which he did.  Also, Obama is continuing this shit, Bush invented this stuff.

A Eric Bolling greatest hits reel is just dying to be made:)

Seriously, you’re naivete is pathetic. Before you mouth off, do a little research. This has been going on long before you were probably even born.

The Patriot Act was around before I was born?  How old do you think I am?

I love your assumptions of me not caring about the poor here. Re-read my post. Let me ask YOU a question. Do you make sure YOUR family is fed before you help anyone else eat? Before you say, “hey that is the stupidest question I’ve ever heard”, think about it this way. WE are AMERICANS. AMERICA IS OUR FAMILY, It’s MY family. Black, white, republican, democrat… these are all labels that divide us but the basic fiber that makes us all unite is WE ARE FIRST AMERICANS.

Nancillarypeloslinton was convicted of being a potty mouth

That’s fucking funnny!

Excuse my overestimating your ability to use logic or reason. Obama-garglers have are just so cursed genetically.

Run away…keep running away…you Conservatives are so spineless. 

I really hope Jon Stewart tears this guy a new asshole.

Is Eric Bolling considered smart in Conservative/Republican/Tea Bagger circles?

Why don’t we help the muppet living in a trash can?

I bet you dream at night of getting into a Rev. Al Sharpton, Joe Biden love sandwich, eh ‘Crupt?

Why don’t you Obama-garglers want Comrade Obama’s school transcripts published. Is his IQ really lower than Rev. Al Sharpton’s?

Ohhhh! So that’s the new code for Barack Obama living in the White House!

It’s obvious when someone doesn’t have the intelligence to make a intelligent reply., they seem only capable of making a childish reply such as yours.  Remember, it’s better to be thought a fool, than to speak and cast all doubt.

I’m a conservative republican and Eric is a blithering idiot. Just my opinion. I don’t side with people based on political party but ideals. He’s our lunatic far right fringe element,

While I was just trying to be helpful to you before so you wouldn’t make a fool out of yourself, now you really did make a fool of yourself.  Your now giving all conservatives an ignorant image.  I don’t know, maybe you’re giving an accurate picture of conservatives.

No I was talking about Oscar the Grouch.  (Is grouch capitalized?)

Look, just because your sole purpose in life is to be a living, breathing, turd-guzzling, open-sored, contagious, walking pus-filled wound just say so.

“Hi, I’m M_Baker and my sole purpose in life is to be a living, breathing, turd-guzzling, open-sored, contagious, walking pus-filled wound.”

LMFAO! Heheheheheheheheheheheheheh!

WHO ARE YOU?

I used to know people like you.

I like you.

So are you pro terrorist?

…or as Ronald Reagan said:

“Well, the trouble with our liberal friends is not that they’re ignorant; it’s just that they know so much that isn’t so.”

Lily represents the failure of Barack Obama’s economic policies.

Likewise, 9.1% unemployment and Occupy America are too.

These are the new normals under the Obama Administration and Democrat congressional majority.

How long do you think it will be before likely voters become aware of those facts? 

Not if he’s protesting on Wall Street

If we send our money overseas to care for those overseas, who is going to care for us? You think that desperate foreigners not being able to eat is a problem for us? Are those “third-world countries” going to send money and food over here to us when we have bad times because we sent it to them? Everybody wants to point the finger to us being cruel if we don’t help them. How is that any more cruel than us not helping the ones right here who will be the ones expected to pay the bill for feeding those other countries in the future?

And what does that have to do with the topic. What is it with you right wing nuts? You just post random thoughts.

Must be past your bed time Norbit. You are posting random musing unrelated to the topic at hand.

Does anyone recall the character Oscar the Grouch. Who is poorer than someone who lives in a garbage can?
Nobody?

Perhaps Mr. Bolling figures that teaching a 3 year old about poverty is rather stupid (as do most thinking caring parents).  

Parents are supposed to protect young children.  With your logic, why don’t we stand them on the street corner and say – don’t cross till the light is green and then (since we’ve shown them) – leave them, cause they’d understand, and damn, didn’t think of the car that ran the red light.  

A 3 year old grows into a 4 year old and a 5 year old who suffer nightmares from simple things that they cannot understand so lets brain wash them early!  Stupid, stupid stupid.  

I have no problem with taking teens to soup kitchens and showing them how poverty affects people.  They understand, they might just want to do good.  You pick your audience and a poverty puppet aimed at an audience of 3 year olds is not age appropriate.

It was odd to watch my Children turn off sesame street when it started “preaching” and went beyond the alphabet and #’s.  In turn, my grandkids never watch – not interested.  They did enjoy Baby Einstein though.  Go figure.  

Why is it every time Boling says something controversial it almost always has to do with being black?  Can somebody teach this dog a new trick?????

The same way you dream of Glenn Beck in your butthole and Rush in your lovehole.

Are you by any chance one of those who complain about child obesity (along with the pear-shaped First Lady) and at the same breath complain about kids going to bed hungry?

Cheney did most of the shredding; dubya was just the puppet.

Ok:

We need seven new black muppets to represent the 71% of African-American babies born out of wedlock.
We need five new Hispanic muppets to repreent the 50% of Hispanics born out of wedlock.
We need three new white muppets to represent the 27% of whites born out of wedlock.
We need one less Asian muppet (if there are any) to represent the small number of Asians born out of wedlock.
We need one rainbow muppet to represent the 10% of gays who (some say) are in the US population.
We need one new muppet in a burka, who can only appear less than 1% of the time, to represent…. 

Also, what percentage of the Muppets on the show are right handed?  Is there a fair representation of “left handers” on the show?  (I didn’t say left leaning muppets; I said left handers.) 

PBS had better start representing all of us…(Yeah, like they do now on PBS TV and NPRadio.)

Take your medicine. 

I’m sure it was a cute segment, but in the clip, we see a real problem with these types of shows. It appears that most, if not all of the panelists don’t have a clue what they’re talking about and they look past the headline.

In the Times piece (which was linked from the earlier post), we learn that the “Lily” character is only slated for the one, primetime special, where she will interact with some of the more established Muppets.

IOW: Elmo is going to meet a poor person. At this time, there is no plans for the poor person to join the Sesame Street cast and anyone who knows anything about Sesame Street knows that if the character were to join the cast, she wouldn’t remain in poverty, but that’s beside the point because the character isn’t joining the cast. She basically exists to teach Elmo, Big Bird and the other Muppets about poverty and empathy for a one-off special.

So you don’t think teaching young children about the existence of poor kids is a good thing?  Is that the position you’re taking? 

Do you think little kids don’t notice the differences between themselves and others?  I know *my* kids did.  It’s what they’re *TAUGHT* about those differences that matters.   If you wait until a kid is a teenager to teach him/her about poverty it’s too late. 

Sesame Street has been “preaching” in one way or another since *very* early on in its run.  The most likely reason your grandkids don’t/didn’t watch Sesame Street is that there are far more entertainment opportunities available for small kids than there were before. 

You betcha Skippy – I also don’t believe in teaching young children about “rich” people.  No, I don’t think children (Sesame School age) notice the difference between themselves and others.  That is a good thing – they don’t notice color, they don’t notice accents, they don’t notice who has the nicest runners – they don’t notice and they shouldn’t.  Wouldn’t it be wonderful if it stayed like that, but it doesn’t.  They hit grade school and it starts – Then we start dealing with the repercussions of clothes envy etc.  Don’t even attempt to tell me that teaching children about poverty when they can’t even spell their names is doing them a service.  

An Eric – you’d think you’d know that much watching Sesame Street.  

Since all I see is people insulting each other on this subject I will try to be the voice of reason.  The reason Sesame Street is using a Muppet that is poverty-stricken is because this Muppet represents what is real in America.  There are children who under no fault of their own are starving in this country.  Food prices are going up and wages are not.  How is a single mother of three suppose to pay for food when she has to pay for other necessities?  To Eric Bolling’s point; the reason Sesame Street doesn’t use a black puppet or hispanic puppet is because those puppets would be exclusionary to other groups.  The poverty puppet is not exclusionary because all groups of people are starving in this country whether they be Republican, Democrat, white, black, hispanic, gay, lesbian, Christian, Muslim, Islamic, etc.  Doesn’t matter what group you belong to there are people of every group suffering in this country right now.

First; to address the trolls. I love how you think it’s ok to call the Tea Party tea baggers death mongers while Occupy boston spits on US Soliders, Occupy NY craps on the flag (literally) and Occupy LA calls for violence.
Apparently that is all ok, but calling for limited government and personal responsibility is violent.

Now for the show; I’m waiting to see how this is presented. It could go either way. It’s a children’s show so promoting diversity is good so I won’t prejudge.
