Nutcase. I'm talking about Hannity.

You all know that Sean Hannity, Bill O'Reilly and Glenn Beck are comedians right?

It's an act. A very lucrative one. These people likely don't believe this nonsense, they just sell it. Red/Blue...fuck that, it's GREEN that matters.

Getting angry at these people is like getting into a fight with a comedian. They're just noise.

Half-breed Muslin?

So that's like half-cotton, half-polyester, right?

How's Ohio this time of year, Ward Up?

I wanna see all the cable news shows produced by the Bang Brothers.

So that's like half-cotton, half-polyester, right?

Ha,
As I thought when I first saw that sign too!

My god a half man half fabric monster! Agghhhh!

actually jennyblur, if you mean the pic, our post went up about an hour and a half before the wonkette post using the same pic did. so maybe they're a fan of us?

CNN.com picked up an interview with the guy in FL who made the "Muslin" sign. Upon being confronted about his accusation that Obama is a type of fabric he was very confused, "How do you spell it?" Here is the video.

Ward: Are you being chained in front of a computer being forced to comment on Chicagoist? I don't eat at most of the places that are profiled on the food posts but I don't decry their existence. If you don't like what the editors of Chicagoist choose to cover, move on and start your own blog.

Prescott is actually in the Obamaist doghouse for not taking the blood oath and swearing allegiance to the Obama cause.

"......Ward: Are you being chained in front of a computer being forced to comment on Chicagoist?

That's a great comment. It unintentionally makes my point. The liberals who populate the threads of this self-professed Chicago-oriented website don't like it when non-liberals point out that a Chicago-oriented website is a cheerleader for the Democratic party.

In fact, some commenters, such as the one above, would prefer that non-liberals leave the site. You can picture them singing to the melody of Pink Floyd's 'The Wall': "Hey, non-Libs, leave this blog alone."

Ward Up-
I would prefer that you would not leave this site. Where else will I learn the terrifically inventive and massively smart nicknames you give to the things that you dislike. For example:

Funny how Leftcagoist works. An article or two about the Obamassiah.

OMG! That's so funny! You express your disgust by tweaking the names of things! Why, it's positively inspiring! Please, everyone: call me Clearance Weakerpoon from now on, because I'm obviously just another lefty LIB weakling who's massively invested in installing my Obamassiah in the White House and selling off all that makes America great so that the communists can FINALLY take over and save my weak ass. Right, Ward Up, or should I say Word Top since your gift for the language is so obvious?

BTW: Obama is from Chicago, this site focuses on Chicago and stuff. Why is it so difficult to imagine that this site would have a bunch of stuff written about him, especially when the other major candidate is so positively uninspiring to most that live here?

There is no neutral, there is simply the continued effort to be objective.

Well, objective is a fairy tale goal, too--perhaps computers can do it, but not people. The best one can hope for is to be accurate, honest, fair, sober (as in, not sensationalistic or bombastic) and as comprehensive as possible.

The media has never, and will never, be neutral.

Well, they can, if one defines being neutral as not taking part in political activities (some of the media refrain from voting, and all serious reporters are prohibited from donating to political causes and doing political work).

There are not always 2 sides to every story

Agree 100%, though probably not the way you mean. Sometimes, after all, there are 6 sides to every story, or 3, or 12, or 20.

Sometimes it's actually dangerous and inciting, because these clods don't know just how whipped up their adherents are getting.

Thank god someone is looking out for the proles as you are, right? I mean, all those riots started by Fox News--man, when will the proles ever learn? Seriously, clods? Are you really that full of yourself, so confident in your assumed brilliance?

Actually, it is the foaming-at-the-mouth, Palin-hating left that is the "whipped up" side.

Please. Calling someone who is unqualified out as unqualified is not the same as the fear mongering and terrorist baiting that Palin has espoused. Yes Obama sat on a board with Ayers. IT WAS THE FREAKING ANNENBERG FOUNDATION MONEY that funded the board. So as Obama sat next to Ayers an ambassador under Nixon and longtime friend of Reagan FUNDED Ayers. No one is Calling Walter Annenberg a funder of a terrorist but that would have to be true to also say that Obama fraternized with a terrorist.

I have not heard of a single person at an Obama or Biden rally ask to have McCain or Palin killed, insinuate false religious beliefs, or other hateful language. Please provide examples of such Palin hating. I would like to know.

Albany: I'm just saying that your choice of words, over and over, suggests you think you are above many people and many things. Not trying to pick a fight, only understand a certain mindset that considers itself superior to others nearly all the time.

Yes, I think people who get their information from talk radio and 'the teevee' aren't very bright. They are ill-informed and repeating talking points from talk shows.

And I've met many stupid and/or ignorant people who spend more time with books and newspaper than talk radio and TV. You really need to get out more, I think. And you've offered plenty of talking points, slogans and ideological thinking on this site, so don't act like you are different from the right wing nuts.

Perhaps, Albany, you missed the use of commas in my list, as your grammar is imaginative.

Listen, all I am saying is that, on this site, you often attempt to tell people how brilliant you are, and how stupid and/or ignorant they are when they disagree with you. That's fine, but what's funny is you often engage in short-cuts to thinking.

Stop trying to pick fights, you're all noise and precious little signal.

Do you get paid for each time you use the phrase "you're all noise and precious little signal?" I think you might want to invest in a new script. And disagreeing with the great Albany is hardly picking fights. It's a simple disagreement; it happens, even with brilliant people such as yourself. Not everyone is trying to war with you. Please grow up. You have the smarts, now you need the maturity.

"....Sometimes it's actually dangerous and inciting, because these clods don't know just how whipped up their adherents are getting..."

Actually, it is the foaming-at-the-mouth, Palin-hating left that is the "whipped up" side.

Yeah right,
That's why "the left" is simply saying she's simply not up for the job while "the right" is saying that Obama is a terrorist, Muslim, calling him Barack Osama etc. Even you don't believe that Ward and secretly you're bummed about Palin too.

You've addressed nothing I said.

Nor have you, my friend. You merely offer up another protest to your brilliance instead of addressing any issue I raised. For instance, I offered ideas to counter your media neutrality/objectivity post, which I found wanting. You responded with defensive personal stuff, as usual for you. That is why I urge you to gain some maturity to balance your smarts. You could really be a force for persuasion if you did.

We're critiquing each others grammatical skills now?

Well, when you ignore basic grammar so that you can twist the meaning of what I said, what else should I do? Remember, you are always telling us how literary you are. Odd. Which way shall you have it, then?

Obama endorsed Todd Stroger, calling him "a friend" and "the only choice" for leading us "into a new era of Cook County government."

Oh wait ... that one's true. Rats.
