Course, I don't get out much.

Maybe Joy and Whoopi should have started screaming threats at him and then cut his mic like he does to his guests. I'm telling you, I might have jumped him when he told me to shut up and learn something. Oooh-boy, I'd probably break my jaw from gritting my teeth so hard.

Originally Posted By DAR Kind of funny how CBS has a new show like the View called the Talk. I'm telling you this was staged. And I'll be fair here because I've never heard or seen Whoopi do this. But Joy has never had an issue painting Christians with a broad brush. Saying they're stupid backwards people. And she storms off because of this. Screw her, what a bleeping hypocrite.

It's easy to find "McVeigh was an agnostic!" pasted all over a simple google search, but the truth is far more compelling than that. Now tell me how all his accomplices weren't Christian either. I dare ya.
Originally Posted By Kar2oonMan O'Reilly's "shut up so you can learn something" is basically how the right rolls these days. Shrill, uninformed nonsense delivered with intensity. Someday, I know that the grown ups will get control of the GOP once again, because this sort of fever-dream crazed conspiracy-theory garbage always flames out eventually. But I think it's a long way off.
Originally Posted By Kar2oonMan >>Well yeah he was the President and has to make that distinction.<< Ah, I see. So you're saying that he was just saying the politically-correct thing in public, but really he wanted Americans to carry hateful feelings about Muslims. LOL, I think you just enjoy arguing. Here I've said something positive about President Bush and still you have to quibble.
Originally Posted By DAR <<Someday, I know that the grown ups will get control of the GOP once again>> You mean like having a hissy fit and storming off a tv show. And no Joy and Whoopi do not control the DNC, but like O'Reilly, Olbermann, Hannity, Maddow, Maher, Stewart and Colbert, a lot of people form their political views, from the View.
Originally Posted By dshyates I hate Christians because of the way they protest at our fallen soldiers funerals. These soldiers are patriotic American Heros. And the Christians come out and protest because they believe that God is punishing America because we are supportive of the gay agenda. Also we all know that Christians murder doctors, bomb medical clinics, alternative lifestyle establishments, and the Olympics.
Originally Posted By Mr X Beyond that, even *I* said something positive about the guy I consider to be one of the worst Presidents in U.S. History... Which might very well be a first for me! (no offense to you K2M, but I think you've said some positive stuff about him before...apologies if this is your first time as well! ;p) DAR will be DAR.
