Real classy as libs usually are.

She is a public figure. They have the freedom of speech to say she is a b**ch just like how people on the right have the right to say Obama is a socialist. Big f’n deal. If she has a problem with it (I wouldn’t think so, she probably hears it often) then she shouldn’t be in the public spotlight. In order to be in the spotlight, you need thick skin, and I think Bachmann has that thick skin to just ignore being called a b**ch. Calm down people.

Stay classy Jimmy. Any Republican should keep this on mind if Jimmy comes a callin”.

What was incorrect about the song’s title in reference to Moochelle Baggermann?

oh snap! dem negroes gotsa watch dey others backs!!

that is a totally liberal move—this is particular time -not so cool.
i call it being ‘colberted’…
we make fun of conservatives by acting like them–and they actually take it as a compliment.

this music thing is a liberal move where we do things that are obvious to people who actually know things–and since cons do not–they are not in on the joke–which makes the joke even funnier.. ie If Bachman would have started dancing to the song…
so to my fellow conservatives–i do apologize for this one..

but for the rest—do not get mad when we do these lil inside jokes—if you ‘read’ more—you would get it!

like you ever heard of fishbone…

“hpv vaccine causes mental retardation”

well, there’s the “lyin’ ass” part

the “bitch” part isn’t far behind

Gotta love The Roots

Lol!! Bachmann played for the fool she is… again!! Lol!!

Does Jimmy Fallon have a show?

There’s an important difference between The Roots and the Nascar fans: The Roots were acting as host. If Nascar officials had called Michelle Obama a “lyin’ a– b—-” while introducing her, that would be the fair comparison.

The class of the left shining thru

Once again…Does Jimmy Fallon have a show?  He has a band?

Interesting how the Libtards on Mediate erase postings that they don’t agree with even if they are clean….

Honestly, this isn’t a good look for The Legendary Roots Crew.

Seriously, they should apologize. I’m a Roots fan, and think Bachmann’s comically appalling, but she didn’t deserve this. It was out of bounds and classless.

I don’t think she mind, it would be a badge of honor for her. 

Come on, man, this was just classless. Even if you like The Roots, and hate Bachmann (like me), you can still admit this was out of bounds and uncalled for. The band should issue an apology on-air.

For any Conservative complaining about “liberal bias” here, ask youself a simple question: why haven’t Conservatives created their own late night shows?

Answer: because Conservatives have no sense of humor.

They Have it’s called the O’Reilly factor which gets 50 times more viewers than Leno, Letterman and Fallon combined.  He is on at 8PM and 11PM.  Try watching and learning something sometime.

skyfet recently clarified his position on a No Fly Zone over Syria.

He’s okay with it it, but worried about the bug spray and flyswatter stores :

“The bug jokers could out of the business go !! “

It’s clever, and as Questlove called it “a snark”. He didn’t go on some rant afterwards.

Well… it SHOULD’VE been clever. But then he pasted the record on Twitter.

Hey skyfet !!!

Why are you ashamed of your real name?

Kam Fet is a perfectly fine monicker.  Why the alias?    On the run?

Libs continue to show such class. They are hosting this person and this is how they treat her but not surprising.

If I were Bachman’s staff I would insist on an apology from Jimmy Fallon. Fallon doesnt see like an ass like this band.

Funny how the link’s not working….

“The question will be if, in conservative circles, The Roots get the same strong defense that the NASCAR fans did.”

The difference, of course, is that “NASCAR fans” aren’t competing for my entertainment dollar (ie eyeballs), while Jimmy Fallon’s show is.  And I really like his show, but I don’t care if he reunites Led Zepplin and the cast of the Godfather II on the same show, I wont even consider watching again until there’s a major league apology issued.

So it’s OK to boo the First Lady then… right?

Well said. That’s not how you treat an invited guest.

So booing the first Lady was cool…. right?

Commentary? Hmm…i guess so. No better than what Tommy and the gang do out here.

These guys aren’t exactly genius – now that they have confirmed they did this intentionally, it simply is gonna limit their ability to continue to do so.

NBC has to sell commercials, that’s their job. When it becomes public knowledge these guys are referring to a national female political candidate as a “bitch” – they won’t let that fly, agree or not.

Aren’t we supposed to be offended when people refer to women as “bitch”es? Seems like these black performers can’t resist falling into the negative stereotype that modern black musicians seems to have a hard time shaking calling women “bitch”es and hos.

that is why i apologized—it was not a fair jab…most people would not get this.
and for the record–i personally DO know Fishbone music…

but i spend a lot of time knowing about a lot of things…

I just wrote an email to NBC demanding an apology. Everyone should, wasnt it OBama in Arizona that said the rhetoric needs to be toned down? That you can politely disagree with someones political views without attacking them?

There was no reason to boo FLOTUS.

There’s Red Eye. But the thing is that the networks are largely controlled by liberals so they put on liberal leaning (if not falling over) shows.

Though, you an your buddies here applauded the NASCAR fans for booing the First Lady!! Lol!!

NASCAR fans also didn’t invite FLOTUS.

Conservatives have that stupid ‘Red Eye” show that Fox “so-called” News airs at 2 in the morning!!

I wonder if this was Michelle Obama walking on that stage would all of you guys calling this “humor” still fee the same way.  This is a US Congresswoman, whether or not you agree with her point of view there is still something called class that is obviously missing from Fallon and His Band.

yeah, because anyone critical of bachmann is liberal, lol

Newt Gingrich who leads the GOP field had a 6 year affair with his 3rd and current wife while still married to his 2nd wife and you want to talk about “real classy”? LOL!!

Right. Like you would have fucking know what that song was if you were walking out there.

At least have the guts to say it to her face, liberal cowards. 

I agree, we all need to stop making excuses for Republicons and their ignorance!!

Can somebody tell me why we make such a big deal out of bullying?

I agree with all these libs – they are just words and people should get some thicker skin.

libtards?  Awesome.  

Hey, has anybody else notice how quickly the right goes from beating their chest to collapsing on their chez lounge clutching their pearls and calling for their smelling salts the minute they get called a name?

 Tru dat.

Whats up with all these thin skinned people Darladoon?

This reminds me of all these wimps whining about bullying. Who cares if people makes slurs about people based on gender, sexuality or race.

WIMPS! Get over it.

The answer is actually because Conservatives have real jobs.

Have you noticed that journalism in colleges are always weighted heavily to the left? THAT’S why, genius.
Then you go to accounting and business (useful/logical) studies, and most are Conservative. Why? Because they understand the numbers.

Liberals don’t understand the numbers. They’re more into feelings and emotions.

Conservatives would rather deal with reality and concrete evidence.

Why is it ok for liberals to by misogynistic and racist? Oh yeah thats right because the liberal main stream media dont call them out for it. Could you imagine if Bill O’reilly or Sean Hannity had Hillary Clinton on and they played “lying ass bitch” as her intro. Oh the horror. It would never happen cause conservatives have class – just compare the Tea Party to the OWS.

Yes, I have seen O’Reilly. It’s quite funny.  I like the part where he goes on and one trying to justify the existence of God by saying “Tide goes in, Tide goes out. No one can explain that”.

See, now this is a fair assessment. Fool, ok. B’tch, not so much.

You intellectual light weights who champion bullying causes for stopping slurs on race, gender and sexuality and allow her to be called a b’tch are laughable.

That’s why most people don’t take these new “bullying” causes seriously. The people who seem to champion them are inconsistent in their application.

Dear Questlove…Don’t feed the trolls. That is all. Poor taste IMO.

Why would YOU want an apology? How does this affect your life?  Thin-skinned much?

Where are the liberal feminists?

O’Reils is comedic gold

SunsetLament… I’m sure you’ll be missed.  

Hey, has anybody else noticed how quickly the right goes from beating their chest to collapsing on their chez lounge clutching their pearls and fanning their face the minute they get called a name?

No, Jimmy Fallon doesn’t have a show, idiot.  People are commenting on an imaginary show hosted by Jimmy Fallon where imaginary presidential candidates come on to be interviewed.

You should know about this thing called “imagination” as God lives in yours.

Bravo Roots!  Bravo!

Only in a prog mind like the twit darlaloon is it acceptable to call a female presidential candidate a bitch, not ok to boo the first lady when she hates everything about you, and ok to cover up rape and sexual assualt because exposure might hurt your “movement”.  Progs really are the worst trash.  LAB seems to fit dd pretty well.

Why do you hate freedom of speech?

Why do you hate freedm of speech?  You probably hate our troops too.

She just showed up. I don’t like her, but it’s kind of a cheap shot.

Corporate clowns and corporate politicians…can you see the difference?

He had a “first date photo booth” pic with Obama. No need for a rant. Message received. Of course, playing a track from a obscure band is as brave as a troll on the net.

And there was no reason for Jimmy and Fishbone to do what they did…

See how that works. :)

Class?  Ha!  Ask O’really for a falfel.

Hard to get worked up over this juvenile episode. Bachmann will still be a force in politics years from now. By next week I’ll have forgotten that The Roots ever existed.

Its a big leap from “First Lady” to “Backwoods nutty Congresswoman”

 Concern troll is concerned.

Red Eye would be a better comparison, also with high ratings even though 95% of the country is sleeping when its on.

I suspect that conservatives do have a sense of humor, you are still typing, aren’t you? Seriously, I suspect that by the time Fallon comes on most conservatives are in bed so that they can get up and go to work for Washington DC.

Typical “We do it because you do it” defense of the Repug mouth-breathers.

Imagine the liberal reaction if a white band had played such trash as an entrance for Michelle Obama!!

The problem is, it would never happen because Mrs. Obama is not a proven liar.

Agreed, calm down.

While we’re at it, all these people whining about bullying based on race, gender and sexuality slurs should get over it.

Besides, if you’re a candidate don’t know we are a country who loves our race, gender and sexuality slurs – you shouldn’t run for office.

We need more Kristophers!!!!

Let me direct you to the Michelle/NASCAR thread

Go take a peek of the civility in the Obama/NASCAR thread

It’s Fallon and his band who have a problem here.  The band thinks this was a funny little snarky thing to do, but this is going to blow up big time.  Unfortunately for Questlove, this is a big deal to NBC and they’re finished.  Fallon’s not even going to back them.

Really?? Because Ms. Bachmann is a public figure, this no-account band can call her b**ch on national television?  By this questionable logic, it’s no problem for Rush Limbaugh or Glenn Beck to call Mr. Obama a n!gg*r, right?  Any politician is fair game for any slur.  It can’t just go one way, folks.

It’s Fallon and his band who have a problem here.  The band thinks this was a funny little snarky thing to do, but this is going to blow up big time.  Unfortunately for Questlove, this is a big deal to NBC and they’re finished.  Fallon’s not even going to back them.

O’Reilly has 150 million viewers every night?! That guy must make a mint! Dave, O’Reilly’s numbers (around 3 million) are comparable to what Letterman gets each night, but he’s got about 1/4 less the audience as Leno (who gets about 4 million). I have no idea what Fallon gets, but suspect it’s similar to Ferguson’s 1.5 million viewers. In comparison, the Daily Show gets about 2.5 million and Colbert gets 1.5 or so. It’s something like comparing apples and oranges as O’Reilly is on in prime time and the others never are.

O’Reilly’s numbers are impressive considering he’s a basic cable news guy, but his numbers are hardly 50 times anyone’s. In this respect, I used to love how Rachel Maddow would point out how silly it is for cable news guys to be comparing themselves to anyone other than basic cable news shows. She used to point out how even the best rated shows (invariably all on Fox News) never even got close to numbers of shows on the Disney Channel, Nickelodeon, ESPN, or pro wrestling.

yea but they are on at 1130pm and 1230am which means there is a big difference in terms of viewership availability

Jimmy Fallon should apologize. If he wanted to “snark” or make it a difficult appearance for her, just ask questions.  

You’ll be missed dearly.

LOL.. the writer is in the 8th grade. How do I know? The section where the writer attempts to break down why its OK to make fun of a reality TV star vs. a wannabe GOP presidential hopeful is straight out of “he took my stuff and wont give it back” whining catagorie. I guess, for this writer, every PRESIDENT who has sat in office and been ridiculed is bad too. badd people BADDD people! Its probably easy to take a few months/years away from today and search the headlines for images of Obama that “just arent right..boo hoo”. We can go back even further and find images of Bush as a monkey -THE NERVE-.. so Its funny that this WRITER (I’m using the term pedantically) seems to have a problem with how someone sneakily undermines Bachman. TRUTH IS, Bachman and all of her fans need a deeper investigation than some song on Fallon. Bachman is the last person standing who could probably understand why there is no such thing as a black christian. Ahem, Herman Cain needs to watch and learn too. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ImRyNvjZ5sk NO BLACK CHRISTIANS I tell ya! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ImRyNvjZ5sk

Nevar heard of “Fishbone”, but beautiful Michele Bachmann is an exotic, exquisite, exciting super-hottie.

Funny as hell, especially since they’ve done it to other crazy celebs.

I mean this woman is mentally ill, she’s crazy and there’s barely anything that comes out of her mouth that isn’t a lie and made up sh’t.  She’s married to a closeted homosexual who is running a fake gay-cure clinic, PAID FOR BY GOV FUNDS, and he’s a fake doctor.

give me a break.. she deserves it.

So booing is the same thing as calling a woman a bitch. Okay then.

it was nothing compared to what the extremist on the right do.. nothing near

bullshit

Red Eye.

My compliments to the Jimmy Fallon Stage Band and their choice of music for intro!

Tru dat? Really? What an ignorant fool.

Just kidding, well not really.  Actually I’m just testing you to see how thick the skin is.

What kind of a crazy ass trance is she on in her book cover picture?

I”m not a big Bachman fan, but that is pretty low class. I like the Roots too (or did) but since theyre relegated to one of the least funny SNL actirs of all time, I guess they have to carry the humour.

Totally classless.  This was not the audience reacting, it was the host.  It was premeditated.  Do you think Fallon’s show ever intended to give her a fair opportunity.

I am truly disappointed that this would occur.  An apology from the producers, and a suspension of the band, is appropriate.  However one thinks of Bachman, she is presenting herself as a candidate for the highest office in this country, and deserves respect and/or neutrality for it.

It’s too bad.  I was just saying the other day the Fallon is one of my faves because he doesn’t seem to get overly political. 

I’m still laughing at the name “Questlove” !!!

Obama IS a socialist.  He wouldn’t think it’s derogatory.

huh?

Obama IS a socialist.  He wouldn’t think it’s derogatory.

Bachmann would have been more than justified in doing a U turn off the stage. That would have left Jimmy Fallon in a very difficult position, as filling 20 minutes spontaneously isn’t so easy on TV.

This is the first time I am proud of my country. Yeah your right she didnt lie.

Oh no, they didn’t!!…..

hehehe…..

Because I’m sick of this double standard and the only way for it to change is to complain. Bill Maher calling Palin a c*nt and all the other vile crap he spews. David Letterman apologized for what he said about Palins daughter. Its just not right that libs get a free pass for saying racist and misogynist things that a conservative would be scolded in the media fro.

Right. Sure. Nobody cares about how you or Michele Bachmann feels about it. When you’re a liar, you just have to deal with the consequences of your actions or just stop talking. 

What the hell are you talking about? Fox News has a conservative late night show that airs at 3:00am and kills CNN and MSNBC *PRIMETIME* shows in the ratings.

Yeah just as classy as the way the First Lady was given “respect” by NASCAR attendees, right?!

You could say the same to the NASCAR organization & the classless behavior given to the First Lady!

The Roots are hosts?  Odd.  I thought Jimmy Fallon’s name was on the marquee. 

I’m a roots fan and this is awesome!

And his belief in God effects his show, right? Nope, it doesnt.

Keep hating just because someone has different religious beliefs… way to go. 

Michele Bachmann gets booed for what she says about gay people and women’s rights.

Michelle Obama gets booed because republicans think she’s “uppity” and because her husband is only half white.

the GOP: not racist, but #1 with racists.

2 days ago cons were cheering NASCAR folks booing the First Lady…but now all of the sudden they’re sensitive. Something stinks.

How are The Roots lying?  She talks about family values knowing she’s only a beard for her gay husband (he “prayed” the gay away and formed his organization to “convert” gays).  Plus she talks about government spending & entitlements while the USDA has given her family millions in farm subsidies & MEDICARE funding for her husband’s clinic, so why should The Roots have to apologize for telling the truth?!  Tell NASCAR to apologize for their classless redneck fans disrespecting the First Lady

yah the congresswoman has been proud of her Country and chosen to serve.

a big leap – you are correct.

A classless, abhorrent “inside” joke that should be called out.  It’s degrading for any public figure to be treated in such a way.  If you don’t like her, don’t agree with her, don’t invite her.  

Why is behavior like this condoned?  What the hell is wrong with people thinking this is o.k. because it was a republican?  What are you all – 10 year old bullies?

everyone should want an apology – that is no way for any adult to act.  You have lost your moral compass and seem to be proud of it.  I wouldn’t advertise that fact JCP – I’d be too embarrassed.  

Oh, are you saying a liberal would not lie, or slander for political gain?  Which planet did you say you were from?

The NASCAR fans booing was dumb and classless also.  

I think this was reprehensible.  Absolutely beyond contempt and Fallon should be held accountable.  

You seem to have a real problem with anyone who believes in God. But thats because atheism is its own religion. 

They are Republican.

Bachmann needs attention. she sucks in the polls she would never leave a camera.

While the Michelle Nascar and this were classless shouldn’t they both have known these might not be the best places for them and certian thinks like boos or lyin ass 3itch would happen?

What about Uppity?

50 times more viewers?  Let’s compare timeslots, shall we?  I picked last Tuesday at random.

You liken the word Socialist to referring to a female – any female – as a b**ch?!  Good grief!  One is a political statement, the other is just trash!

I like The Roots even more now.

P.S. You want mean – just read ANY liberal blog.  Too many, but not all of them, have mean down pat!

The use of the song just shows the lack of class and the bias that Fallon and most of those on his network possess.

Grow a f-kin pair dude, this is why liberals are always slapped around like pussies. She’s a public figure, and she’s shown time and time again that she can be a contrived lyn’ ass bitch. 

Oh yeah? Clearly you work at NBC to have that kind of information.

LOL

What is this thing that liberal have with hanging baggy things in each others faces? 

Obama is a proven liar and the Scarecrow is a proven racist.  It’s a fact. Look it up. 

Ah, but that doesn’t matter to you because your primary interest is recreating Tahrir Square right here in the USA.  That way you can get together with your buddies, crap in public, smell really bad, hang bags in each others faces and gang grope female reporters. 

It is brainiacs like you who become homegrown terrorist because you think it would be cool.

It was a bad move on Fallon’s part, but the truth is Michelle Bachmann knowingly, purposefully lies on a regular basis–not just the stuff about the HPV vaccine, but her ridiculous stories about Obama talking about “Obamacare” with her and the fact that, as Just Saying notes, she screams about entitlements but took farm subsidies and Medicare. Even her former staffers admit she regularly distorts the truth. 

Just a short list of her (clearly intentional) lies, all of which are provably false: 

1. 15 bureaucrats will decide every health decision under “Obamacare”
2. There won’t be Medicare going forward under Obama
3. No one has private sector experience in the Obama cabinet
4. Obama has spent $805 billion on Iraq
5. She never took federal subsidies
6. Obama has the lowest approval rating of any president

http://www.politifact.com/personalities/michele-bachmann/statements/

http://www.mediaite.com/tv/bachmanns-former-chief-of-staff-her-false-statements-are-the-result-of-her-impulsive-nature/

I’d love to hear what lies the Right thinks Michelle Obama has said to merit being treated poorly, unless you think promoting healthy eating in a nation plagued by obesity is really an awful thing. 

The Roots’ music will LIVE FOREVER while Bachmann will be a FOOTNOTE on the 2012 campaign

LOL

Do I have the freedom of speech to tell you about Obama’s and Rahm Emmanuel’s  lifetime membership in Chicago gay club  named “Man’s Country”?

Clearly you never watch his program

Disappointing.  I am a fan of the show, and of The Roots, but this was unprofessional, disrespectful and pretty messed up. 

Even from a perfectly cynical point of view – how could anyone NOT think this was going to give people something to point to when they claim there is a bias in the media?

So much for the call for “civility!” And guess which political spectrum & media were faux clamoring for it? It was her mistake for going on Jimmy Fallon! Stop catering to the left’s media machine conservatives! You can’t convert them nor should you try! You’ll only get burned.f

Ahhh are upset? Did you get pissed when she said slave owners and slaves had good relationships? My guess is you didn’t. Spare me your outrage.

Both of Jimmy Fallon’s viewers are idiots.

The song was really bizarre without hearing the lyrics.  I don’t think the band has any class, so their apology would be meaningless.  I just hope Fallon apologizes on behalf of the program, he seems like a good guy and it was just plain disrespectful.  Honestly, the band kind of sucks either way.   

seriously, that was the type of music you play at Gitmo to extract a confession.   Yikes.

She isn’t a lying bitch. She’s a crazy bitch.

honestly, I think she does mind because when you are a woman in a male-dominated field, you always feel an extra responsibility to pave the way so the next women going through won’t deal with the same sexist crap.  Hillary was thrown sexist garbage as well, but it really should not be tolerated.   

Just turn on Fox News to see how liberals are treated by teabagger/GOP pigs

You’re talking about a deranged lunatic who believes that the world is 6000 years old and that homosexuality can be treated.

Is it un-classy to call someone out for being what she is?  Says she’s against government pork but then takes huge farm subsidies for herself.  Says that she and her hubby are “job creators” when, in reality, the only reason they’re running their ‘business” (an “ex-gay” clinic) is so they can rid the world of The Gays.  Judging from their lack of success on the part of her husband I’d have to say: another lie.  Lie upon lie upon lie.  Sounds pretty truthful to me.  What I’m shocked by is the fact that she was able to stay up late enough to go on this show!

I’m sure this “roots” gentleman has prepared a first class dissertation on why he feels Ms. Bachmann has been duplicitous.

Or maybe it’s just “yo I herd she was a repubbican and mah friend Sean Penn told me repubbicans is lyin”.

I have watched the O’Reilly factor and get a good laugh out of the spin he puts on the stories covered.  I would like to see your documentation on the “he gets 50 times more viewers then Leno, Letterman, and Fallon combined” statement; or are you just talking out of your ass?

Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.

i’d suggest “red eye”, but it comes on way past your bedtime…

I ALWAYS thought that * Roots* was a GREAT band,and they sure know HOW TO interpret their MUSIC. Great one!

It is carlton’s subtle comedy schtick.

dude, she was pwned. simple as that.

Dream on.

Lets hope when Obama visits we can hear Evil Dik by Body Count!

Nah –  they’ll just switch them from being the house band for Jimmy Fallon on NBC to being the house band for Rachel Maddow on MSNBC.

Your racism is showing…

Clearly you didnt watch the video or read the piece because she was RIGHT THERE

Since you say you are/were a fan of Fallon’s show, you should be WELL VERSED with these walk ONS

I love Jimmy’s show and The Roots are a great band. This was a dumb move on their part. Sometimes these NYC shows forget that the show airs outside of NYC but even if it didn’t it is still uncool.

First, the analogy or comparison to the NASCAR incident is spurious.  As it has been pointed out, NASCAR didn’t INTENTIONALLY offend Michelle Obama.

Second, I’m not sure how any Republican cooperates with NBC again – at least not until this scumbag is fired. No more NBC debates, no more Meet the Press appearences, no more interviews with or questions from NBC reporters until NBC forcefully and permanently repudiates this  OUTRAGEOUS and on-air sexist attack from an NBC employee.

“…and the Scarecrow is a proven racist”  Really? What proof do you have?  This should be good…

What does that have to with anything?

what about uppity?

When the hell is the “dictionary” going to be published, of words that are not allowed to be used because you knuckleheads will designate it as racist.  It’s just freaking stupid!

right sam – you know all this insider information because you’re so well informed by media matters.

Grow the hell up.

I’m guessing Jimmy’s band was thinking the presidential gimp was going to be on since Obama’s the biggest lyin’ ass bitch to come down the political pike in a loooooong time.

no apology?  It’s perfectly o.k. by you to smear, slime and degrade a republican woman because “they deserve it”?  Are you sick?  You surely are not a functioning adult.  

she’s a “proven liar” but Obama just misspeaks.  Love the double standard.
Obama at march – before he was born was one little misspeak that was fine by you – an honest mistake right?

NASCAR fans spontaneously booing Michelle Obama: BAD.

TV stars planning in advance to call Michele Bachmann a bitch: GOOD.

now you’re lying

What do libs have to do with this?

Of course she deserved it. She’s a bigot and makes a mockery of the presidential elections.

You do know that liberalism and conservatism are not the only ideologies right?

Libs? Libs are not the only ones who hate/despise Bachmann. You don’t know if they’re libs.

The posting in these little boxes should be used for intelligent commentary, but, unfortunately, in this case, it isn’t.  The insulting action of a little known black band against a white female member of the House of Representatives on national television is a very sad commentary on what has happened to the relationship between the races since Barack Obama moved into the White House.  In my opinion, members of this band, regardless of the color of their skin, should be ashamed of their actions toward Michell Backmann because she represents a political viewpoint with which they either don’t understand or with which they don’t agree.  They were rude and crude as well as insulting. Whatever the case, their action tells us more about them than it does about the political viewpoint of Mrs. Bachmann.  It seems apparent, from the comments posted by those who support the rude actions of the band members that there just might be a different set of ethnic rules for blacks toward whites than there is the other way ’round. And that is a shame!  It does appear that some entertainers believe they have the right to conduct themselves in a fashion not approved of by those civilized members in the community where they have should been raised by their mothers to be courteous and thoughtful toward invited guests.  The snarky comments by those posters who agreed with the rude treatment of a woman by the men in the band only makes this disgusting situation even more sad than the actions by those crude and  thoughtless individuals toward a lady guest invited to be on the show where members of the band are paid entertainers and, as such, were also the lady’s host for the event.       

Leno’s audience: 3.6 million viewers
Letterman: 3.5 million

O’Reilly: 2.7 million viewers.

Honestly, this was petty tee-hee humor. But why should anyone take offense, since Congresswoman Bachmann is neither a liar, nor a bitch?

The left? The left isn’t the only one who hates / despises Bachmann.

Bachamann is such a moron she deserved it.

So I can point out all of Obama’s lies and it would be ok to play a song called “lyin ass n$$$$r”. That would be ok?

Hey Mediaite how come you didnt include the quote from your own employee? 

“‪It was completely inappropriate and totally disrespectful. If you are going to invite someone on your show, and enjoy whatever ratings bump you get off it, then you at the very least must treat that person with a minimum level of respect,” said Rachel Sklar, editor at large of Mediaite.com and founder of Change The Ratio, an organization geared toward promoting women. “When I found out the name of the song, my jaw dropped. I love that show and truly expected more from it. I really did.”I noticed that a lot on Mediaite, when its a conservative issue, Mediaite will editorialize and headline the story negatively about it but when its a liberal issue, they just report it with no editorial.

Michelle Bachmann is an idiot, but I disagree with your statement.
It’s disrespectful to a guest on an entertainment talk show.
What if the band played CeeLo’s hit song, “F*ck You”?
Would that be okay, too?

And the Obama inauguration crowd was the most classless for booing GW and Laura Bush and singing nadada hey hey hey goodbye. Didnt hear a lot of media types criticizing that. 

Glad to see you can admit Bachmann is a serial liar. Also, thanks for making your Obama statement racial. That really helps you guys prove you’re not the party of racists. 

But the point is, whether you think Obama lied about a lot of stuff (because GOP shills Limbaugh and Hannity told you to believe it), the comparison was between Michelle Obama and Bachmann. The former has not lied about anything, and yet right wing pundits and posters go out of their way to call her ugly, or criticize the fact that she promotes eating a healthy diet (not sure what the problem is with that) or they twist her words around to make it sound like she hates America or is racist. None of those criticisms are based on facts. The criticisms I listed about Bachmann are based on easily verifiable facts. You can prove in 5 minutes that she lied about every one of those things. So there’s no comparison. 

SKA-REE!

A great song, it fits … what’s not to love?Plus, unlike the usual case, where Planet R types just steal from rock musicians without even asking permission, this one has implied consent!From the Chorus – all together now, folks, flic your bics and SING:”You’re nothing but a little lyin’ ass bitch!You know she says she loves you, but you know she don’t care.You’re nothing but a little lyin’ ass bitch!You know she says she needs you, but you know she really don’t care”

Fishbone is a fantastic band. Very rarely have they received such mainstream exposure. Their debut EP from 1985, with the song “Lyin’ Ass Bitch”, should have been a huge hit, but the Cold War-themed “Party At Ground Zero” was too politically charged for radio. Fishbone is still together in 2011, and they just released a new EP in October. http://itunes.apple.com/us/album/crazy-glue/id463840790

Yes indeed: Lyin’ Bitch would be a step up for Michele Bachmann!

In order to have 50 times more viewers than Leno Letterman and Fallon compined, O’Leily should have 400-450 million viewers. You know, the population of USA, Canada and Mexico compined might be enough.

Yeah, it’s definitely a liberal thing.  No conservatives I know do anything that toes the line of class.  Nope, Rush Limbaugh, Michael Savage, James O’Keefe, Glenn Beck, Bill O’Reilly, Ann Coulter, Andrew Breitbart, Matt Drudge, Richard Nixon, Pat Robertson, James Dobson, Sarah Palin, Roger Ailes, Rupert Murdoch, Michelle Malkin, Ted Nugent, Karl Rove, Sean Hannity, Newt Gingrich — all are the very pinnacle of the concept of class. 

I’m just glad we can all agree that a person’s class is completely defined by their political ideology.  Now we can move on to more important things, like why only conservatives love America, and why every liberal in America wants to destroy it.

Nobody really gives a shit, stupid. Just don’t be surprised when none of us shed a tear when Moochelle gets booed at a car race, ok?

Republicons are experts at fake outrage!!

Oh Jesus, Dave.  Does somebody really have to explain the difference between a late night entertainment show and a televised political talk show?  You do your party and ideology a disservice when sending up bad analogies like this to make a point.

while i agree that freedom of speech would give them the right to play whatever song they choose to except for the fact that those musicians were at work.   we do not have feedom of speech on the job. whoever made that decision to play that song should be disciplined by their employer

It’s interesting how you know so much about him even though you’ve never met him.

that is correct

Really?  That’s all it takes?  One ill-judged gag by the house band?  Thick skin is so hard to find these days.

Well it would appear that The Roots and Jimmy Fallon got their wish: everyone is talking about them now.

This is the rancid Ideology Conservatives are expected to compromise with? 

Just like NASCAR fans

Well that is just an ignorant comparison.   But if your saying that libs get their current events analysis from Letterman and Leno then you are probably right.  Says alot about you, eh?

NOT a problem as these show as these shows are taped.  Plus they are on very late at night and are able to be a little off color.

Then I guess the First Lady “deserved it”.

See how that works…..

Yeah just as classy as those teabagging NASCAR suckers were to First Lady huh?  Turn about is fair play fool!! SMH

You know what in the immortal words of Cee-lo I dedicate that wonderful two letter song to you!

Then I assume you don’t mind any Dems getting treated like a POS. I mean the First Lady got what she deserved in your mind… right?

What goes around and all…..

I don’t think that innocent immigrant kids BORN IN AMERICA deserve to be called “Anchor Babies”  (as someone who champions her motherhood status every time she cane) as this *itch has referred to them as in a previous debate.  Sooooooooooooo turnabout is fairplay and I don’t care.  She is overall a classless Lipstick Bigoted *itch anyway!!

That’s an amazing trick you’re doing; trying to conflate these two completely
Different subjects

Please name His LIES for us.

She is a lying ass bitch though…

  The insulting action of a little known black band against a white
female member of the House of Representatives on national television is a
very sad commentary on what has happened to the relationship between
the races since Barack Obama moved into the White House.

Is this what you’re passing off as intelligent commentary? What does the band’s race or her race have to do with it?

It was extremely rude to do that to a guest coming on the show, regardless of your politics. Michelle Bachman is an anomaly to me  because she wears her faith on her sleeve and talks as if she’s sincere but has been repeatedly dishonest in her political career. That said, Calling her a “Lyin ass Bitch” in that way was incredibly uncool and not funny.  And I really like the roots and would hardly refer to a band on national TV several nights a week as little known. However; race doesn’t enter into it at all.

I agree Bachman is dishonest and has been called out for several lies, but I still that’s it’s low class to do that to an invited guest.
and this

the only reason they’re running their ‘business” (an “ex-gay” clinic) is so they can rid the world of The Gays

is speculative BS that doesn’t deserve repeating. Distortions like that only muddy and impair communication.

I agree, and I do like the roots and have no use for MB.

You got a few weeks to listen?  The guy wouldn’t know the truth if it bit him on the a$$…which it will, come November 2012.

Maybe it doesn’t matter to you at all but to some people the term invited guest means something. I wouldn’t be offended at all if someone called her out for lying at one of her own functions or some other situation. I can’t stand her and would see no reason to invite her to my home, but if I did , I would treat her with the respect an invited guest deserves, rather than stealth insults as a joke.

They’re peas-in-a-pod, the whole deceitful Left.

Don’t trust a word they say, and DON’T NEGOTIATE!

Take it to the people next year, and expose these Democratic feudal lords for the despots they are! 

It’s not being a pussy to show basic respect to a an invited guest. If you think she’s a lying ass bitch then don’t invite her on. To smile to her face and call in a behind her back way call her a lying ass bitch, is low class no matter who does it.

Comon man, Limbaugh and Beck have insulted Obama repeatedly and are praised for their honesty by the ditto heads. Bad bad example. At least they are out in the open about it and their insults and lack of class are apparent to all but their zombie like fans.

Whether it’s true or not is not the question. That may be their honest opinion. The evidence that’s she’s dishonest is available, but she was still an invited guest, and that’s what made it rude.

50 times more viewers? Maybe in your house…

It was a low blow indeed, but I really don’t see any reason for the conservatives or any right wings nut to complain. In contrast to the vitriol, slander and lying they do, this is kid’s stuff….

Obviously you believe every word you posted.  So you believe that I shouldn’t have mentioned that the members of this band were black.  I didn’t know they were black until I read some of the other posts.  In fact, I never heard of the band before reading this article.  Whatever the case, the band members are black and the song was insulting to a white lady running for president of the United States who was a guest on the television show for which this band was paid to play.  You asked me what does the band’s race or her race have to do with it?  Not a thing if you are blind to who these band members were insulting.  She is white.  The band members are black.  That is a fact.  You want me to ignore this fact for what reason?  You apparently believe that you have the right to call Mrs. Backmann a liar without presenting one bit of evidence that she lied about anything.  Let’s see, this is what you wrote “(she) has been repeatedly dishonest in her political career.”  You also believe that it was important enough for you to write that “she wears her faith on her sleeve.”  What does that have to do with anything related to the rude and crude behavior of the members of this band toward her?  You also said “race doesn’t enter into it at all.”  If race doesn’t enter into it, why do you make such a big issue out of the fact that I mentioned that the members of the band are black?  If race isn’t important one way or another, why are you upset because I stated a fact in my post?  Perhaps we all should ignore the fact that the crude and rude members of the band did anything that could be considered insulting to another human being during her introduction to the television audience and the live audience.  Would black members of any band play this song if Mrs. Bachmann was black?  In my opinion, I don’t think that they would.  If you don’t understand this, then you are blind to the facts in this situation.    

She did Fallon a favor by appearing on his show and they showed total disrespect of a US Congresswoman who is running for the highest office in the land.  SHAME ON THEM!!  Fallon should publicly apologize, whether or not he knew what the band was going to do. It reflects very badly on him, and wait until he asks another non-Liberal Socialist guest to appear. From now on, he’ll be preaching to the choir.

Wrong. Position or title doesn’t afford you an extra level of basic respect as a person. It was wrong for them to boo our FL because they don’t like her politics or her husband, and it was wrong to insult your guest as she came out.

That’s it in a nutshell. Love her or hate her politically, she was an invited guest.

Michelle “bat shit” Bachmann has been pretty classy in making shit up out of thin air and saying some of the dumbest things in the political arean.  What goes around comes around.  And yet we still have to experience the typical right wing victimization that comes with the territory.  The best part was watching how clueless she was when they played the song, let alone the rest of the interview.

Rightwingers can be just as classy, too.

Objection, your honor!  Non-responsive.

The original poster said that O’Reilly gets 50x the viewers of Letterman, Leno, etc combined.  I proved him wrong.  Crushed his argument in fact.  The discussion wasn’t addressing the type of info presented, so I didn’t go into it.

If you want to compare “news” shows, look at Nightline’s ratings, then.  They get more viewers at 11:35PM slot than O’Reilly does at 8:00.  Way more. 

O’Reilly’s bombast, arrogance and shaky facts do get him good ratings…for cable.  But in total numbers he’s still small potatoes compared to network TV, which provides actual, you know, information.

8 PM is hardly a late night show.

The drummer boasted about it before and after on his Twitter
page. And all Jimmy Fallon had to say was that the drummer is grounded.
Well, haha, that’s not funny. Nothing about this is funny. Fallon is
classless!

Michelle Bachmann is none of those things and did not even know the
song. That entire band should be fired. Anything short of that is
causing this conservative to boycott The Jimmy Fallon show.

And I hope that every conservative out there, who reads this, will join
me. It is time that we conservatives fight back, with our business. Take
a stand. Let’s show them our idea of funny!

PS: I have passed this info on to the readers of my own website.
–If you’re a conservative with a website or a blog, pass the info on.

I loves me some Fishbone….and the song is….apropos.

you americans need to learn how to take a joke. the idea that a politician should not have to defend themselves against the wit of others is exclusive to your shores.

Will you write to Limbaugh and Beck as well?
Bill Maher is a comedy show on a paid channel. It’s not the same.
I think Fallon and his network should apologize.

Not in terms of treating people and an invited guest, with basic respect.

You are missing the point by a mile. Do you think she knew the song and knew the implication? Do you think The Roots thought she would? It was intended as a stealth insult and inside joke and was in poor taste. Not to her face at all.

Holy crap , I agree they were wrong but try to have some realities perspective. There’s a difference between a late night talk show and shows with a specific political theme.More than that Hannity is insulting and dishonest on a regular basis , along with the likes of that jackass Limbaugh and other talking heads. Please don’t fool yourself about conservatives having class. Some do, plenty don’t.
Do we have to be so blindly partisan that we can’t see or think straight?

The question is , a force for what? will her contribution be more positive, or more negative?

Race, hers or theirs, has nothing to do with it.

Nothing like that was said or even implied. How’s that reading comprehension working out for ya?

for some lonely 70 year old.

That’s not as bad as when they played “Oh Sussana” when Obama was introduced.

@readers:disqus  my classmate’s mom makes $72 every hour on the internet. She has been unemployed for 3 months but last month her paycheck was $8728 just working on the internet for a few hours. Read about it on this site  http://smlk.es/Cash

Danny can’t do it, I have one for you. ” I will close gitmo in one year”

So don’t get upset if I call Obama a lying a** porch monkey.

Like she would know who Fishbone are and would recognize one of their songs.

She is a liar or completely ignorant, your choice.

Word, that beeach Michelle Obama needs to get her black a** back in the kitchen where dat ho belongs. Know what I’m sayin’.

Totally agree.

You know, I think the Michele Bachmann is the worst thing to come along in quite a while but this stunt was clsssless and disgusting.

What about the entire Fox reporting staff? Should they be fired too? After all, they do lie on a daily basis, instead of playing songs

Hello, Fallon did her a favor by inviting her to the show. Talk shows = Free advertising 

You asked me what does the band’s race or her race have to do with it? 
Not a thing if you are blind to who these band members were insulting. 
She is white.  The band members are black.  That is a fact.

Sure it’s a fact but you still didn’t address the question. What does her race or their race have to do with the event itself? Be specific. It is a worse insult because she’s white and they’re black? If so, then please explain. I agree they were rude and it was uncalled for and low class,but I don’t see that race has anything to do with that. It would be exactly the same if they and she were white, if they and she were black, or Chinese, or polka dot.

You want me to ignore this fact for what reason?

  I didn’t say you should ignore it. I’m asking you to explain why their race is relevant at all.  So again, what the hell does race have to do with the event at all? It’s rude because people shouldn’t treat their invited guests that way, regardless of race or political differences.

You apparently believe that you have the right to call Mrs. Backmann a
liar without presenting one bit of evidence that she lied about anything

I don’t call anyone dishonest lightly. If I do it’s because I’ve done my research and that’s my honest conclusion. I’m not required or inclined to post that research every time I repeat my opinion. Other posters such as yourself are free to ask, or challenge me , and to disagree. The evidence that Bachman is dishonest is easily available and substantial. One source,
http://www.politifact.com/truth-o-meter/article/2011/jun/16/fact-checking-michele-bachmann/

I don’t believe it simply because of this source. I’ve checked it myself. It intrigues me how people who wear their religion on their sleeves and talk about what an important part of their lives it is, can lie to the public repeatedly. No doubt politics is a career where the temptation to lie appears a lot, but still I’m less than impressed when someone lies one day, talks about God the next , and keeps repeating that pattern.
I’m just as intrigued by less than honest business people who also profess their faith repeatedly. It seems like a hypocritical life style.

I am convinced that these progressives, never mature past puberty.  Reprobate minds. 

 I rarely watch FOX. –And as bad as lying is, have you ever witnessed someone on a FOX show calling a democrat something equal to a “Lyin’ A** B****?”

I like how people are getting so angry. She’s a CANDIDATE and that is all she will ever be. She has no chance at being President. Quest Love and the Roots done owe her an apology. 

HAHAHAH This post is funny!

Yes Norbit, Glenn Beck is God.. 

What is derogatory about socialism?

Like the right should talk, You’ve all had your share of moments.

Truth to power.

Actually, I’ve seen them call Obama a liar, unPatriotic, a socialist, a non-citizen, a gay, and much more. What do you say to that?

So what do you think about Fox (their presenters, ‘experts’, guests, etc) who have at one time or another, called Obama a liar, unPatriotic, a socialist, a non-citizen, a gay, and much more. Could you also include  your white and black line of reasoning here as well?

Did he or did he not tried to close GITMO? Did he or did he not issue an executive order to that effect? Was he, or was he not told by the House Leader that there is no way the bill will pass? Did he or did he not, in spite of that, banned the torture (sorry, enhanced interrogation method) at GITMO?

Yeah, keep on dreaming 

You are amazing.  You build up strawmen then knock them over and challenge me to explain why I’ve pointed out that the strawmen are on their backs. 

Are they all black strawmen?  Did you read all the posts on the page? How many posters pointed out that the band members were black?  Was it one, two, three, four or more? CosmosDan, the band members were black.  Black is the color of their skin!  Why does the fact that I said they were black bother you so? 

For your information: Michelle Bachmann is not black.  Her skin color is white.  I bet the farm that Mrs. Michelle Bachmann doesn’t like you calling her a liar, but the spine of your post is supported by that single word.  If you didn’t have the word liar in your vocabulary you wouldn’t be able to write a post anywhere in the world. 

It appears to me that you are more upset with the fact that I pointed out that the band members were black than you were that these very same black band members insulted a candidate for the office of President of the United States who was a guest on the show for which they were getting paid to play songs.  They selected a snarky song in this case.  CosmosDan, which is worse, my stating the fact that the band members were black or the fact that they attempted to embarrass her with the snarky song?

Apparently you don’t know the difference between what is true and what isn’t true.  You called the staff of an entire News Network liars without providing any proof that what you accused them of is true.  Boy, you are a liberal work of art. 

I don’t believe that you’ve ever watched the Fox News Network.  You claim that somebody on a Fox News Network show of calling a democrat something equal to a lying A** B****.  What does A** B**** mean?  I find Liberal accusations hard to follow.  

I would say that you are lying. Master Blogroll, I don’t believe that you’ve watched the Fox News Network enough to claim that anybody ever said anything even close to what you claim. 

Do you actually know what a strawman is when it comes to debate or discussion?  Doesn’t seem like it. What specifically is the strawmem I built up?
It doesn’t matter how many other posters pointed out race. I asked you a specific question about your post and how race was relevant. You still haven’t given a direct answer to my simple direct question.

Don’t assign reactions to me I haven’t exhibited. It doesn’t bother me that you said they were black and she was white, other than those obvious facts are totally irrelevant to the event. I said the same thing to other posters who mentioned it.
You could either explain why it’s relevant, or just admit that it isn’t, instead of this evasive irrelevant nonsense. Answer a direct question , or don’t. I’m not interested in games.

I don’t care how Bachman or anyone else feels about me calling her dishonest . I think I have the data to back up my claim and provided some to you. I repeat, I don’t call people dishonest lightly, but IMO, repeated dishonesty is an insult and disservice to the people she swore an oath to serve. We desperately need honest fact based discussions to solve serious real world problems. Elected officials of either party need to clean up their act and address the issues honestly and factually rather than for political partisan motives.

As for how it appears to you, you’re wrong. I asked you a simple direct question and you have avoided a direct answer for several posts. I know what the band did and I’ve expressed my negative thoughts about it several times. If you can’t communicate well enough to give direct answers to direct questions I have no interest in continuing. If this is your demonstration of what intelligent communication looks like we certainly don’t see eye to eye on that.

Mediaite did the congresswoman an injustice by focusing on a song and a group that most people may have never heard of — especially GOP voters in Iowa.

The whole segment should have been shown where Bachmann looked (and sounded) as good as she ever has during her many TV appearances.

Master Blogroll, you sound like the Liberal that you probably are.  Free advertising, indeed.  How stupid can a remark get before you are called on it?

Master Blogroll, I’m losing faith in your ability to think things through before typing them on this page.

CaptainPogcorn, your remark is pretty close to the stupidest remark ever typed on this page.  If it wasn’t for Master Blogroll you would take the prize for the week on stupid posts.

Okay, here is a straight answer to your question.  The members of the band are black and the politician was white and a woman.  Are you following me on this?  The black members insulted a white woman politician in front of a live audience and television audience in order to prove that black men can insult white females and get away with it.  Do you need me to draw you a picture of blatent racism on the part of the black members of the band or are you going to plead ignorance again?

Interesting how the left tries to equate the Nascar booing to this…So going to a race where the people you have been insulting for years (bitter clingers, pickup trucks) and getting booed for your arrogance is somehow the same as INVITING someone on your show and then an EMPLOYEE of said show makes a profane musical intro as a shot across the bow??  What if the band at the race had played “Black Betty” when they introduced the First Lady?   The left would be apoplectic…

Hang on. I’m going to visit that disgusting sewer pipe known as FoxNation.com to echo your brilliant sentiments.  It’s a good thing FoxNation.com isn’t connected to a 24 hour cable news channel…
Oh, wait…

How do you surmise that?

Oh wait I forgot liberal rule no. 385902385923805923, as detailed in the Anti-Reality and White Guilt Enforcement Act 2008:

“Black people are the only people who have ever had the way they talk caricatured by someone who was seeking to put down an individual’s perceived dumb statements and/or actions. I’ve never heard anyone do a mocking “redneck” voice before when making fun of Republicans, or anything like that.  That has never happened in human history.”

A great point by you, and well made. Another liberal saves the world from getting any of that icky “reality” on them. Give that man a medal.

Apparently it’s a terrible crime for me to mock somebody in that way, but it’s an intellectual, progressive piece of intelli-genius, a piece of forward looking Democratic, hopyfing, changefying, Darwinesque progressy-genius  to call write misogynistic songs about “bitches”. This is the magical intellifuture that we’re in, we had to elect Obama the intellectualest president ever to get to this haven of equality and righteousness where women can look forward to being called a bitch if some guy with dreadlocks or an afro doesn’t like them, and if anyone complains about it, they’re racist? That’s like the “epic cool progressive future” you voted for in 2008?

Obama has a solid 42% voting block.  We need to keep this in mind. We will never turn any of these people because they are idiots without the capability of objectivity.  That’s why we need go find a candidate can bring us all together and put an end to the horror our country has suffered under this Clown and Scarecrow team.

I’m tired of Bachmann, she will never be elected.  I like Newt, but the liberal trash attack machine will slander him to oblivion and make claims that his wife is actually a cyborg.

Even after they attack him for actually believing in God, I believe that he can weather the storm.   Isn’t it a shame that we have to deal with these idiots.

http://www.mittromney.com/news/embedded/video/obama-isnt-working-labor

does this make sense.

You idiot it has nothing to do with freedom of speech, nice attempt to hide behind that phony argument.  It has to do with respect, something i’m sure you are not familiar with.

“bitch” is certainly better than what I would call her, mainly because it would be censored in Canada.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a8sxk4xNnxw

Fallon and NBC need to apologize immediately;if they don’t, efem….turn them off.  Demand NOW boycot.

This is uncalled for, un heard of…the level of sexism and hatred on the left knows no bounds.  This was premediated demeaning of a conservative woman.

Fallon is a pig

Critical is fine, if you can actually make a point.  If you dislike her politics about being pro-life, for instance.  Name calling and disrespect when the TV show has invited her to be a guest is disgusting, and immature.

Can you state an actual example, or are you just running your mouth?

They didn’t invite Obama on their show and then insult him.  They are making commentary about him, whether you agree with them or not.  If Fallon was just taking a jab at her, it would be his prerogative, but to invite her as a guest and then underhandedly insult her is classless, and extrordinarily rude. 

C’mon guys I thought that song was Palin’s theme. LOL

I thought that was Palin’s song. LOL

Wow that song “Lying Ass Bitch ” really fits Michelle Bachman.   Good for the music group “Fishbone.”  Wondering if there is a song one can play from “Bachman Turner Overdrive”

 What would you think of a “welcoming” song for Michele Obama with these lyrics: “”Lyin’ Ass Bitch”?
Would you call that “welcome “courageous” or outrageously slimy and vile? This is par for the course from the vile media slimeballs at NBC, a wholly owned ideological subsidiary of Hussein Obama.

Not cool.  But I defend their right to be dicks.  

A “tea” says classy!?

To keep up with “teas”!

They are going to do that right after,…. Rush, Beck, Hannity, Breitbart, the Five and most of “Fox” does the same! The fake outrage fits the ”teas” hypocrisy!

It’s Bachmann! She’s a liar and has made herself a joke! Invited guest,…… remind “Fox” next time a liberal drops by!

Again,… watch “Fox”!

The day Trump apologizes to Obama is the day I the Roots should have to apologize to Bachmann.

Has the First Lady insulted and lied towards that average crowd, …no! Well it’s you so you’ll lie about it anyway!

I’m sure they feel just as insulted by her as you were by the Bush family.

Where do you get this “see how that works crap”? Bachmann is a factual liar,… her numbers, history, doubling down when proven wrong, not in reality! What did the First Lady do but, grow a garden and try to help school kids? Sure you “teas” tried to spin that, but where are the proven lies?

I”m not a big Bachman fan,and I’ve generally been a fan of the Roots but that was pretty low class.Since they’re relegated to being the house band for one of the least funny SNL actors of all time(Fallon), I guess they have to carry the humour.

See how that works is a lessened aching tool to show people how it feels from the other side. You seem to feel vulger behavior is ok if directed at someone you don’t like.

I absolutely despise Bachmann, and think that she’s extremely vile for the way she unabashedly and PROUDLY spews lies and fear mongering, but even then I don’t think this was cool on the part of the Roots. Come on now.

Now I wonder if some of the righties who were defending the Nascar booing would be consistent (as mentioned in the article).

You really have no idea concerning musical talent,do you?The Roots are one of the tightest,most musically accomplished bands in the world,speaking strictly in terms of a group of musicians.The cats know their shit,forwards,back,and sideways.Them,The World’s Most Dangerous Band(Letterman’s house band),and the Tonight Show Orchestra(Carson-era) are/were tops as far as that goes…
 Everything in this world is politicized,and all about taking sides.I’m pretty sure Jimmy Fallon isn’t a big Fishbone guy,so I’m fairly certain he wasn’t in on the joke: Also,?love is smart enough to keep him out of the collateral damage area os the inevitable blowback…and,as a point of order,NONE of the guys in the band invited her,so their choice of walk-on tuneage can be viewed as very civil disobedience.No one was hurt,no businesses were stopped,and the world kept turning,plus the cats had a chance to have their own say.Right on,and well done.

The left simply boost sympathetic support for Bachmann and that’s wrong. There is so much about Bachmann’s nutty views to highlight without resorting to filthy name calling. The left have lost their moral compass in support of a war criminal as the POTUS.

The booing and this event are in no way the same. It’s odd that anyone would compare these two very different things.

Any audience should feel free to BOO any politician (Dem, Repub, or other) at any time. Had Fallon’s audience expressed their dislike of Bachmann by booing her, that would have been perfectly fine. But imagine them yelling “Bachmann….you are a lyin’, ass, bitch”. Would that still be fine? No, it would not. But this event is even worse, because the band is part of the show that INVITED her on! You don’t invite someone on your show, and then have the band essentially call her potty-mouthed names! Very bad form.

Get it?

Wit? Calling a woman a “lyin’ ass bitch” is somehow WITTY??? What’s wrong with you? Unreal.

Yes, I’ve already said they were rude. But what certain talking heads do is more than just commentary. They go the extra mile to be insulting and outrageous with no concern for honesty or accuracy. Good for ratings I guess , but also low class IMO. Granted they are out in the open about it, but that doesn’t make it classy.

Neither their opinion of her or the bad behavior of others defends their bad behavior.
I constantly see that on this board and others. When a conservative acts like a jackass, fellow conservatives seem to think pointing out that sometimes liberals are jackasses is a defense or justification. Liberals do the same. Then comes a devolving discussion over who’s worse. Maybe we can just call bad behavior what it is and call for less of it.
I don’t care if it’s Bachman. I can’t stand her or her consistent dishonesty. Insulting a guest while they are oblivious to it, and thinking your clever for doing it, is still rude and low class. 

Again, you don’t defend bad behavior by saying “But they do it too” 

LOL!! Now that’s funny. 98% of Fox news strategy is knee jerk emotional appeals to conservatives.

Overly broad generalizations like that are almost always wrong and just make you look like you haven’t thought it through.

It’s the typical weasily liberal move.

I was with you until you felt the need to slam every liberal, even the ones who agree with you,  with an ignorant generalization. Why is this crap necessary? It’s not typical for liberals and conservatives aren’t exempt from this behavior.

The black members insulted a white woman politician in front of a live
audience and television audience in order to prove that black men can
insult white females and get away with it.

Now you think you are a mind reader and know the motives  and thoughts of the band? You aren’t and you don’t. Maybe it was purely political.
Assigning racial motives to others when they are not apparent is a bad idea. to call it blatant racism is just ridiculous and says more about you than them.
She’s a prominent and controversial politician known to many on the left as that crazy church lady. Her record of dishonesty is readily available as I demonstrated. So some people insulted her in an objectionable way. People treating people badly, which would be just as objectionable regardless of race or gender. But you, look at the race and gender of the individuals and somehow see blatant racism on their part? Your attitude is the closest thing to racism in this story.

I don’t know. This one ranks as pretty stupid IMO.

The black members insulted a white woman politician in front of a live
audience and television audience in order to prove that black men can
insult white females and get away with it.

and that’s you right?

Yes…please GoneRouge…do tell.  Examples?

Michelle Bachmann is none of those things

I agree the band was rude and wrong and an apology is in order, but Mrs Bachman does have a track record of dishonesty. I’m not sure how she justifies politically motivated dishonesty with the faith she claims is so important, but the record is there for all to see.
http://www.politifact.com/personalities/michele-bachmann/

It’s hyperbole, for effect. Accusation would be the first and last word. Also, “Pants on Fire” is not meant to be taken literally. 

Fox news is an intentionally and regularly dishonest network. A lot of their game is distortion an innuendo through discussion, suggestion, and repetition. They have their staff of opinion for hires come on and create controversy and make claims so that they can say technically , they didn’t lie, someone just voiced an opinion in commentary. The pattern is repeated and far to obvious to be anything but intentional.
Ad to that the occasions when either they or their on air personalities do blatantly lie and you have a network that professes to be fair and balanced news that is like a political version of the National Enquirer

I’m not surprised that polls continue to show regular Fox viewers as being ill informed. Their technique of repeating partisan opinion and innuendo distorts and dilutes the facts. 

I agree that there is an over reaction. An apology is in order but on the scale of offenses, it was fairly minor and let’s move on.

Thanks Sarah that sounds awesome, but I’m already making much more than that helping a Nigerian Prince launder his millions. Want me to hook you up?

Obviously the mature thing is to blanket insult a large group you politically disagree with. Very grown up indeed.
That crap never ceases to amuse.

Isn’t it a shame that we have to deal with these idiots.

Ahhh something we agree on.

Interesting  how about
“Gimme Your Money Please
“She’s a Devil”
“Quick Change Artist”
“It’s Over”
“Take It Like a Man” {dedicated to her husband}
“Lookin’ Out For #1
“Wastin’ Time”
“End of the Line”
“Another Fool”

not sure the title fit well unless it started with the word stupid,she’s not a bright candle.

I agree it’s not the same because , as you noted, the band is part of the show that invited her. I think the audience did in fact, boo her, and that’s not on Fallon. That said Michelle Obama is not a politician and should not be booed because you don’t like her husband. 
I couldn’t stand Bush but I wouldn’t boo Laura because of him. It’s rude and stupid.

Here is a fine example of what Junie3 was talking about.  Cosmos, the progressive juvenile,  is commenting back to a spam blast. 

Anyone whom agrees to appear on “Late Night with Jimmy Fallon”, should realize that it is a late night comedy show, and everyone is cannon fodder.

It was my hope that Herman Cain, with his proud self reliance argument, would be able to move some of the black community that represents about half of Obama’s support.  But 50 years of free money hypnosis, with the added hypnotic suggestion that they will soon also have most of the “Rich Folks” money, the progressives have pretty much locked them into the fold.  So Obama’s 42% voting block is comprised of idiots, union thugs and hypno-slaves.

Yes oh so mature Tommy. It was intended as a joke for the readers here. Admittedly not a great joke, but there it is.  I sometimes and unapologeticly enjoy some juvenile or downright silly humor.
I also enjoy reading comprehension and basic reasoning skills that some more serious adults seem to lack. 

Just like a libturd, change the subject when you can’t win the argument on its merits.

I’m sure you don’t do that, lol.  The hypocrisy of the left never ceases to amaze.

Obama had two of his church homosexual lovers shot execution style, bj and coke once in the back of a limo, once in an apartment with Larry.  Classier to you I’m sure of it.

The idiot in that admin who thought that was a good idea for campaign votes needs to be fired.  She stepped into the wrong arena to pander.  Boooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo.  Or how about Na Na Na, Hey Hey Hey, Good bye.  That was another immature classic of the left sang to George Bush, and then we had the assination movie.  You freaks on the left have nothing to compare to the people you so disagree with.  Go to Cuba you morons.

Have you heard of the deals your rock heros take from the Govt? Rid the world of gays, are you serious?  You know some people are not happy with being in the gay lifestyle and want a way out, that’s where you might find your way into a counseling program.  And you know you lefties want and need counseling for everything that bothers  you.  Try again, your post is too childish and idiotic.

How about a movie on having her assassinated?  Cool, huh?

He’s not a socialist, he’s a Marxist radical and a muslim one at that.  Oh such joy is coming your way.

what has she lied about?

Some just simply have NO CLASS.

When your losing…it’s easier to take a cheap shot…

Honestly do you not get it? In that very short post you committed the exact offense you assumed of me.

You cool if some other show plays ‘Stinky, Smelly Cu*t” when Michelle Obama walks on? If so, then you are a hypocrite of the highest order. If not, you got no rerspect for woman. You lose either way. This was a BS move by the band and it shows they have no class. NBC needs to apologize publically. I call BS too on the civil disobedience line, nothing but a cheap, racial card throwin, excuse.   

Questlove? What kind of deep thinker calls himself Questlove? If he did not have left wing connections on NBC he would probably be back in the Getto selling drugs!!

I love these jackass leftwing nuts that make nasty statements about the tea party but fail to comment on the behavior of their leftwing marxist brothers and sisters down at wall st. as they riot, destroy other peoples property, piss and shit on everything like livestock but the tea party is the problem! What a joke!!

Jimmy Fallon and the Roots don’t represent the ‘left”. That’s like saying the ‘right’ has lost its moral compass because of Glenn Beck. That said, if you represent the right, the right has lost it’s mind.

CosmosDan, apparently you’ve fallen into a lunatic’s trap of your own making. In order for you to prove your point, you’ve diagrammed an incredible plot that has far too many people involved to sustain itself.  

In order to make the screw turn the way it needs to turn for you to prove your point, you’ve become the liar who oversells his product.  in order for this to work as you suggest, the FoxNewsNetwork must have an abundance of immensely brilliant people who can manage the many twists and turns needed to fool the television viewers and maintain its position as the highest rated cable news network in existence.  

Like the plot in a cheap novel, your lumpish allegations are far too complicated to be sustained for any length of time.  There are far too many people involved in your devious plot to keep it a secret from the public.  You will have to come up with a different idea to sell your snarky accusations or go back into your cave and lick your wounds!

I didn’t assume, I pointed out what hypocrits you are. This is how you clowns try to argue, back at cha.

little parakeet men who don’t have the balls to confront her and ask hard questions but prefer namecalling like a bunch of neurotic girls.

way to go fallon.

For what other reason would the members of this black band play the song “Lying Ass Bitch” as an introduction to Mrs. Bachmann’s appearance on this show if it wasn’t racist in nature?  

Were these band members not aware that Michelle Bachmann is a white lady?  Were these band members not aware that this white lady was a candidate running to be the Republican Party’s nominee for president?  If they weren’t aware of the white women’s position in the House of Representatives, these black band members must spend all of their off time in some cave where there is no television, radios, magazines or newspapers. 

I repeat my accusation in case you have a short memory:  The black members of this band insulted a white women in front of a live audience and television audience in order to prove that black men can insult white women and get away with it.  These black band members are either racists or they are rude, crude, childish or just plain stupid, take your pick.    

She doesn’t deserve respect.

That was absolutely amazing!  Such a great way to make a subtle statement to a public nuisance using an instrumental piece of music. The only mistake they made was tweeting about it before hand. They should have kept their mouths shut and just played it.

NO WAY! They better NEVER apologize. Michelle Bachman deserves ZERO respect from anyone. It’s not like she has a snowball chance in hell of ever being president anyway. Why? Cus shes a lyin ass bit.ch!

Because it is typical.  Liberals do this passive-aggressive, whiny, behind-the-back bullshit all the time.  Questlove would never go up to Bachmann and say, “I’m gonna embarrass you when you walk out tonight and there’s nothing you can do about it.”  She was an invited guest and instead he took a shot at her when he thought she was defenseless.  That’s liberal MO 101.

holy mackerela proud retard you are groveling in cr @p  no matter how much s# it you’re willing to cover yourself in to have the last word…the classiest

Typical Liberal bad behaviour.  I wish someone would introduce them to a bar of soap and a wash cloth.

you’re kidding right heav’n..?
your comment to Darladoon seemed like you had sense
but your question asking for actual example..?
c’mon now
geez SammyC posted a F A C T  of the perfect Christian example (at least what is thee example shown of being X-tians…ugh)  rolling around as a thrice married extreme ‘hypocrit’ Newt
how do you not see…?    oh yeah…maybe that big rotted LOG in your eye…?
facts and  truths only scare people who are more comfortable maneuvering in the darkness of lies 
and blissful stupidity  
gawd bless America  
X-tians don’t and no one else will

So all this uproar about how it was not ‘classy’ then you go and assume that a black guy would be selling drugs in the ghetto if it wasn’t for NBC.  You know this guy has won several grammy’s and has been in the music biz for 3 decades, right?

wtf is wrong with calling a liar a liar?? the standard should be if you lie you are disqualified from any public office. get a grip, lying is as dishonest as stealing and that is why they lie, so they can steal something from you . . .

unbelievable these conservatives repub whatever label they slap on their foreheads but yak out their rumps…these not formed actually very disinformed loud speakers for some non-American cause
they believe in lies then repeat them, then pout and refuse to believe when the lie is dispelled…it obviously is less frightening for them to go sewer scavanging to find more mud to coat themselves with or fling at others…
lies and stupidity (so deserving of that label) to them must seem all warm and gooey and comforting as they’d rather swim in [sh] it than come clean
this country has become very filthy because of it

proud to be a Patridiot eh
omg…the immense amount of stupidity from people presumably american~
stupid does not even come close the definition anymore… 
what’s really sad but worse for American is that your type don’t even know you all are that stupid

You don’t even know that the Roots are the preeminent Hip Hop Band long before Jimmy Fallon.

junie it’s not your business so why is your head so far up in everything and everyone else’s…?
crist almighty…
you’re running in circles trying ta wag your dog~
be quiet…
maybe make sense to yourself then
maybe even a pee tarty with patridiot

That wasn’t the left. that was Mrs, Bachmann who compared herself to Michelle Obama.

it was not proper to dishonour a guest on Fallon’s shpw OR at a NASCAR race
but it’s not speculative that the bachmanns ‘business’ (of sticking their noses in other peoples private business) was to cure gays of the bachmanns and other religious compassionates sugar-coated hate of homosexuals

well chrisallenrich
ya can’t argue stupid, stupid

curious…what do you have to say about rush limbaugh…?

Most musicians don’t have a degree in Political Science or any majority case study in history! They Tend to be very uneducated in history. I know a lot of them; nice folks some of them (some very smart) but it’s still true as far as reality goes. As far as your insinuation as to my statement being racist, which tends to be the first name calling stance a liberal/democrat (now called a left wing marxist since or around the period after John Kennedy’s presidency) takes when you are critical or judgmental of a person of color. This person (Questlove) if you like seems to be a radical left winger who is always going after a conservative/person of the right. If you don’t subscribe to the traditional Americana that this country strives for; individuality, free market driven economy, freedom of religion (unless it preaches killing of others outside of the religion) property ownership, honoring of the Constitution, then maybe people of this type should move to the failing country in Europe of their choice!! He is an example of a musician who has attained employment at a higher level when the numbers in the music field are poor. It shows that he did it and that is America! You don’t really want to be another liberal who just states that all people on the right should shut up or be just called a label do you? Everyone makes judgments or we would be braindead! As for “Jayne” who does not even send in a response that asks a question to start a debate, posts the standard notion that she is smarter than everyone else mainly Conservatives (wish Bill Buckley was still alive to debate her) and sounds like another America basher!! I know plenty of them mostly from foreign countries! These people always have a problem with America but never leave if they live here. She tends to go on with more colorful descriptions of my posting but she should really be writing post cards for Hallmark.

you’re so generous
as generous with rush limbaugh’s daily insults and a$$ness and rudeness and snide underhandedness regarding the actual sitting president…?
it is a perogative but it is just as EXTRAORDINARILY puerile and dirty, no excuses…
it is the same and there’s no divying it up… and it is ignorant to try argue how more or less shamelful it is to disrespect guest bachmann or President or public persona…
just makes you out to be a hypocrite

How do you know the extent of my musical knowledge from a posting?

Jayne;
I’m responding here because there’s no reply button under your question to me. I think Limbaugh may be the worst of the bunch. Several talking heads have gotten rich and made a career out of saying mean spirited nasty things and calling it political commentary. Anne Coulter , who, from what I hear is highly intelligent, is one as well. On the left there’s Ed Schultz , Chris Matthews, Olberman, and others. On the right there’s Limbaugh, Hannity, Beck, Coulter, and others. IMO that kind of mean spirited commentary only poisons the national dialogue. Look at these threads and how people seem so eager to just insult each other and large groups of people they don’t know. Very little productive communication. 

I don’t agree. I think accurate language is important. The poster I responded to said, the ONLY reason and called it an Ex Gay clinic. I think it was a counseling center that dealt with a wide array of counseling needs and probably dealt a lot with Christians. In some cases, how many we don’t know, they did practice the discredited and potentially harmful method of repairative therapy. I completely agree that’s a bad thing and I have no respect or tolerance for Christian anti gay activities because I have some idea of how wrong it is and how many people have been deeply wounded by that institutionalized bigotry. That said, I still think saying that was the ONLY reason they had their business and implying that’s all they wanted to do, is speculative. It’s accurate to say that’s a part of what they did. How big a part we don’t know do we?  Returning hate for hate , and resentment for resentment, which I am tempted with myself, reminds me of Gandhi’s words.
An eye for an eye until the whole world is blind. Or “Be the change you want to see in the world”
If we want there to be less hate in the world, we have to strive to deal with it without hating back and then justifying our own. 

Even someone like myself with just a cursory understanding of how counseling works knows how wrong that is. You don’t help someone stop being gay just because that’s what they tell you. If an anorexic tells you she wants to be thinner do you help with that? Of course not.
You work with them to find the emotional root of any issue and help them make healthy choices. Christianity has been teaching ignorant lies about homosexuality for generations. It is so institutionalized in our culture that many gay people sought to deny who they really were living in fear and depression or rejected by family and friends if they dared to be honest. It’s a hurtful and hateful lie that needs to be done away with. It’s no better than any other bigotry and prejudice against any person. Calling it faith doesn’t give bigotry any protected status or cover.

So, to recap, your post is childish and idiotic.

What has Bachman lied about? It’s a pretty long list.
http://www.politifact.com/personalities/michele-bachmann/

10 pants on fire, 18 false, 7 mostly false, 6 half true, 2 mostly true, and 5 true. Not an impressive record is it? I’m really curious about how religious politicians who seem eager to talk about their faith and how important it is , justify this kind of dishonesty. It’s like a used car salesman going to church every Sunday, and lying to customers all week long and thinking, “Hey, it’s my job and I have to feed my family so it doesn’t really count” I wonder what the Bible says about that?

For what other reason would the members of this black band play the song
“Lying Ass Bitch” as an introduction to Mrs. Bachmann’s appearance on
this show if it wasn’t racist in nature? 

Holy Smokes Dale, I’ve already answered this , more than once I think. It’s very obvious and simple.

Politics. She’s a pretty well known conservative politician who has said a lot of outrageous crap in the last year to get face time on TV. She has a reputation for being very much anti gay and a liar among the left. So just maybe they chose that song because they believe she has lied, {They’re right} and they don’t like her politics.
I repeat, it’s a bad idea to assume and assign racial motives when none are readily apparent. For you to claim it’s blatant racism because well, they are obviously black and she’s obviously white, says more about your potential racism than theirs.

Dale your reasoning skills just aren’t cutting it. There’s nothing complicated about it. Profit and an ideological target audience. That’s it, mystery solved.

If Representative Bachmann didn’t lie so much and didn’t actively repress women’s rights I might think it was necessary. Michele Bachmann Demand Apology from NBC, She spoke about sexism statement Here: http://su.pr/2GZgf5

I see how you method of arguing works.  Insult the person with whom you are discussing a topic, then declare yourself the winner of the discussion.  Pretty good system.  I bet you never lose an argument using this method.

Okay, let’s say that what you say is true, then you will have to admit that every guest with whom the band disagrees politically is fair game so they can be ridiculed by these band members, insulted and embarrassed in front of the studio audience and television audience and the host and the band members never have to apologize for their rude and insulting actions. 

Is that the way you would like to be treated if you were the target for this type of treatment?  You will have to admit that this is a good way to handle anyone with whom you disagree politically. It saves you the trouble of discussing a political topic in a civilized manner.  And, of course, using this method you can be as racist as you want to be and never have to defend yourself for being a snarky racist.  

That “freedom” of religion would be why the fundamentalist right work without pause to have their and only their beliefs embedded in textbooks, in the law?

xanthian.

she kept saying that if it were Michelle Obama on the show Roots would NEVER play that song, well guess what Ms. Backman, you ain’t Michelle Obama!

I’ve already posted more than once that they were wrong and rude to go after her in that way, no matter how they feel about her politics. She’s a guest on the show and they should be professionals.

But, please stop bringing up racism where it doesn’t belong. It isn’t automatically racist for a person of one race to insult a person of another. That’s something humans do. It’s only racist if the insult is a fairly direct reference to race. In this case nothing like that happened. I repeat, it’s a bad idea to assign motives to people when you can’t possibly know especially ugly ones like that.

What you did was lump me in with every other liberal or progressive, as if we all think and act the same. That’s a pretty ignorant statement in itself, but you did it while calling me a hypocrite and assuming I do the same thing. So, clearly, you don’t get it.

The point is that lumping groups of people together for the sake of your own bias is an act of ignorance. It doesn’t matter what the group is. All blacks are lazy, or like fried chicken. All Jews are cheap, all Irish like to drink, all republicans are heartless jackasses who don’t care about the poor, all Liberals are liars and hypocrites.

Those are all examples of ignorant crap that does nothing to further a conversation and , if expressed sincerely, demonstrates the ignorance of the source.

Compared to the other posts on here I’m hardly insulting at all. You find my frankness insulting? Do you consider things like

a lunatic’s trap of your own making.

or

go back into your cave and lick your wounds!

insulting at all , compared to my comment about your reasoning skills? Don’t dish it out and then come back whining for receiving what you gave.

I wasn’t joking. Between your assumption of racism concerning Fallon’s band and making an incredible plot out of a fairly simple observation I find you reasoning skills to be lacking. You assume things without really thinking them through.

You are bit too full of yourself.  You’re not quite smart as you think you are and your comments are pointless, not very clever and not germane to the origninal post, other than that they were okay.

I give you a D- on your comeback comments.  I know it’s probably more than you deserve, but I feel generous today.  Happy Thanksgiving night.

It is appropriate and you know it, but you can’t admit that you’ve been bested in this exchange.  Better luck next time.

Beautiful HQ Pictures…

http://picshits.blogspot.com/

Dale , I hope you had a nice Thanksgiving and got to spend it with friends or family. 

Maybe the biggest fact is the libs fear that the government gravy train will go away.  So they attack and destroy anyone who may threaten that.  Another fact is that Obama is a train wreck!!!  Just look at the mess we’re.  Please save the “George Bush did it” crap.

I’m pretty sure a retarded monkey can win an argument regarding Michelle Bachmann, Rick Perry, Newt Gingrich, or Herman Cain.

I did have a nice entertaining Thanksgiving.  Thanks for your thoughts and I wish the same to you. 

Then you should have no problem getting your point across, Max. You fill the description to a nicety.

While you’re at it, please reiterate the high points of the hopey-changey administration. Some of us have forgotten what an honest,  transparent, jobs-creating, economy-saving, promise-keeping, no-more-politics-as-usual, aboveboard, fine upstanding Dear Leader you useful-idiots rally around.

Please refresh our memories.

i don’t remember ever saying anything about President Obama, nor do i see how you can call me a retarded monkey when i haven’t insulted you in any way, shape or form.

however, because of how badly your trying to piss me off, i’ll leave you with this clip that should answer some questions regarding the GOP candidates.

What the frack would fundietards like you who kiss the ass of and get anally raped by the GOP/Tea Party know about politics, anyway?

How do you know what a musician has the right to say and not say, neocon sheep?

Why don’t you and the rest of the warmongering fascist racist neocon idiots go back and time and stay there? Living in 21st century North America isn’t working for you lot anyway.

Ms. Obama wasn’t trolling for votes, as she is not running for office, you retarded neocon moron.

Junie, the only ones not happy with life are you and your fellow neocon warmongering imperialist chickenhawk religious fundamentalist fascists-please consider going back in time to the 1800s and stay there-also, take your fellow travelers with you.

Sheeple like you are already planning that for real, I’ll bet.

More like you and the rest of the fundamentalist neocon retards who went to see The Passion Of The Christ, so I’ve heard; none of you had even been in a movie theater, and so you were completely slovenly and nasty.

Yeah, Republicans are awesome at winning arguments based on carefully considered, fact based positions. Not.

Or glen beck comparing the victims of the slaughter in norway to the Hitler youth. ect. I’m certain you’ll rationalize this all away!

What makes you think that “michele obama ” is some sort of sacred name to me because I’m a liberal?

Well then, Dale, I demand an apology from you. My question was rhetorical, since what I claimed is common knowledge. But you chose to call me a liar. So, here’s the evidence.

I await your apology.

Dale, which part of it is stupid, pray tell?
Your resistance to point of views contrary or new to you is alarming, especially for a so-called writer.You still haven’t apologize, btw.

Dale Hogue, you self-righteous buffoon. I’ve yet to see you apologizing after being proven wrong. Nothing you have written on this page have even remotely displayed any reasoning ability beyond feet stomping for others not sharing your point of view.
Now, your apology!

Oh, thanks. CosmosDan. Now I see what a lying hypocrite Dale Hogue is – and he is a twisted racist as well.

The next time we tweet to the bandleader send him the Step n Fetchit theme song. Hahaha. That would be so fine a snark. Hahaha.

That’s pretty disgusting and classless.  That was stupid of them to play it, although it may have just been a publicity stunt for the band and show.  Although Bachmann needs to be fair herself about what happened:  it really wasn’t sexist at all.  They were mocking her for being herself, not for being a woman.  It’s kind of pathetic how her tweet about it shows she doesn’t understand the definition of sexism, either.  Alas.

Too bad the “lying” part is true, unless all of her misstatements are calculated lies.  The “bitch” part was just plain uncalled for and unnecessary.  I bet this sells a lot of copies on that song for the band, though.
