George Bush is not conservative. He is only considered conservative by those who do not fully understand conservatism. Look at what he is trying to do with the immigration reform... That is not conservative. He is a moderate at best. I personally find the far left more annoying. I can't stand people like Michael Moore...
Hey Dizzy, is this to imply that while you can't stand MM you don't really have a problem with Limbaugh or O'Reilly?
you guys do realize colbert is on the left too right? you guys aren't really that oblivious right?
I am a registered Democrat. However, I will have to admit that the far left does some pretty annoying stuff. That said, I have to vote for the Far Right as being worse. Worse in that they (the likes of Michael Savage, Rush, O'Reily) have no problem telling everybody else exactly how stupid they are. If this were not the case, the comedy of Colbert (I'm right all the time) would be a non-starter.
The far left sucks green donky dicks. As long as they enjoy the act and the taste that's their business. They can snort all the copper paint and smoke all the crack and whatever they do (I don't know) with meth. The far right is more sick. They want to take my son and daughter and draft them for their stupid war for Israel. They can't have my kids. It's personal. It's not business. It's personal when you want to take my kids and have them die for a lie in Iraq.
What SPECIFIC examples you may have of OReilly's bullshit. I'm not a huge fan of his but when he calls BS on someone he has the facts to back it up (usually), and when someone calls BS on him, there's typically nothing behind it. Just curious wuch u got?
I think Michael Moore's heart in in the right place, on the side of the little guy. But they say the dude smells like a European. He stinks like the Londoners and Parisians do when I was in the USAF.
"The situation here for this kid looks to me to be a lot more fun than what he had under his old parents. He didn't have to go to school. He could run around and do whatever he wanted."
On Sean Hornbeck, the abducted child.
The guy is just plain creepy. Falafel, anyone?

Unless you want to distance yourself from your own political side. Then you call them more annoying to give yourself the appearance of impartiality
Not sure I totally agree. Economically, I am rather conservative. But real conservative, not fake conservative which is what Bush is and everyone who introduces earmark spending.
Socially, I am not. I have more of a hands-off position, which might be interpreted as more liberal.
That makes you libertarian

Jeez, you screwed up that quote so badly I can only assume you're intentionally skewing it to make a point. What O'Reilly actually said was:
"The kidnapping of those two boys should be front-page news in your house if you have kids. I actually hope I'm wrong about Shawn Hornbeck. I hope he did not make a conscious decision to accept his captivity because Devlin made things easy for him. No school, play all day long."
TOTALLY different quote.
Yeah, I'm a libertarian and it's definitely a toss up. Usually, it's whoever is louder that is more annoying. The more reserved extremists attempt to at least explain their radical ideas through some line of reasoning. Loudmouths just repeatedly shout out their slogans...take your pick from the conservative/liberal bumper stickers.
Wait wait wait, I misspoke. O'Reilly made both statements. You didn't misquote him. I apologize. After looking into it more O'Reilly made some pretty insane statements. He also said, "And I think when it all comes down, what's going to happen is, there was an element here that this kid liked about his circumstances".
Well... that's just nuts. That's O'Reilly's problem (or one of many). He assigns motives to people that don't seem to have much basis in fact. What a crazy bunch of comments, despicable really.
Jane Fonda on Hill Clinton "a ventriloquist for the patriarchy with a skirt and a vagina."
Hardcore is good whether it is with the left or right hand.
what do you guys think about bill maher? i personally think he's one of the smarter people on television, i've never seen him lose a debate, everything he says is always so thought out, and he's always pretty respectful when debating with people, unlike the typical loudmouths who can do nothing but interrupt and push an agenda.

No worries. Still, falafel?
Bill Maher doesn't have an agenda? OK good one.
I'm with the few that say they are in the middle ground--and mean it truely.
I love the enviroment, the woods, nature--all the good stuff--and want it protected.
But I also REALLY like to eat meat, fish, and do all of the great stuff that comes with living a self sufficient life in nature. (Read: I'm not going to be a level 5 vegan and not eat anything without a shadow.)
So which annoys me more?
The extreme left is laughable, but they are not going to hurt anyone. While the extreme right starts crusades. So yeah, I'll say that I'm more annoyed with the right and their general policies.
Fisting is correct. Right? Left? Sometimes I just grab it with both hands and bang it against my forehead.
It's all good.
O'Reilly's "facts" are very one-sided and there is no room for disagreement. SOmeone starts giving facts back and he just cuts them off and tells them they're wrong. It's his show, he can do what he wants.
The far right ismore dangerous. Ignorance is scary. THe far left is annoying, but at least they're educated and they are usually right, it would just be a great incovenience or unrealistic to follow their advice.
The far right are uneducated people who want to return to a lifestyle that simply cannot work anymore.
The times they are a changing and we have to change with them.

Nobody dies because of leftist ideology? That's news to me!
