I know this isn't the place for politics

If they're liberal extremists it makes me wonder what you'd think of some of the people I know. That said, John's done some of the better interviews I've seen in the last few years, when they aren't pure fluff at least. But it seems like an extension of their shows at this point, which is at least open about their bias to the point they seem to put a hat on it. But it's a decent set of shows to catch stories which may be interesting to look into. Though out of curiosity how exactly did you hear about this given you're particularly uninterested in these two?
I like watching scrubs at 6 when I am checking email and stuff. Sometimes 7 rolls around and there it is. If I start hearing about how evil I am I turn it. This time I heard about the rally, I listed and then changed the channel. The Food Network and Travel channel has some good content on.

But... Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert (Two liberal extremists [if you don't believe me watch their show]) are holding an anti-extremist rally in Washington, D.C. Sometimes, the clue meter just reads zero. I really think those two think they are moderates. (Ok, technically, Jon Stewart is holding the anti-extremist rally and Colbert is holding a Fear rally)

I've seen John Stewart have a go at the Obama adminnsitration and he did has had members of both parties on his show. It's just those teabaggers set themselves up so well how do you expect him to resist? As for TAPS Palin...

They're both comedians. Jon Stewart's on-air persona is that of the ultra-liberal... Stephen Colbert's is that of the ultra-conservative. Don't take them, or the rally, so seriously :)

Because people look to them as a source of news. An article was published recently where research found that a significant portion of the American public, particularly youth and adults in their 20s, get their news from Comedy Central and Saturday Night Live. :doh:

I am admittedly extremely financially conservative and socially liberal and admit it. I think the Federal government should yield power to the State's in almost all issues and I think the Senate being elected by general election is a bad idea. But that is just me. I also have solutions to the Tax problem, the health care problem, and several other issues. I just don't tell people because they don't like hard solutions.

i have never seen a single justification for repealing the 17th amendment that makes a lick of sense.

That's comedy, not extremism. I'd hold in your favor that they just attack people and opinions you happen to like.

I try to avoid ultra-anythings... I have in mind a certain estimate of average human intelligence, and though it's already pretty low, I don't want to have to decrease it even more.

They are actually just making fun of guys like Glen Beck. As far as I'm concerned, that's a good thing.

Well, I am using Jon's Stewart's definition of extremist here (in reverse). After all, a few weeks ago I accidentally caught the beginning of his show and got to hear that, according to Jon Stewart, a Conservative Extremist is one that burns the Qur'an while a Muslim extremist hijacks a plane and crashes it into a building.

I bet it was funny when he said it. It's all in the delivery.
He said, "Boy I'm just old and lonely, But thank you for your concern, Here's wishing you a Happy New Year." I wished him one back in return.

Oh I doubt he's batty. Quite brilliant in fact. He plays to an audience that pays the bills. He found a niche in need and provides succor to suckers.

I would worry a lot more about those who would attend their rallies than about Jon Or Steven.

Everybody thinks they are moderates. I've never mat anyone woh confessed to being and extremist. It's always the other guy that's extreme...
I'm an extremist. So there. ;P As soon as you use a "vote" to take my money, it's wrong.

You appear to have misplaced a couple of '*'. The man's a huckster, and a good one, as are all talking heads (although in his case he also makes great use of gesticulation, emotion and props - the guy's a pro and that wasn't sarcasm). It's what pays the bills. That's not to say he doesn't believe most of what he preaches. It is however impossible to tell where he ends and the act begins, because at the end of the day he has to attract the demographic that the advertisers desire, and he's found a profitable niche. Call me a pinko-liberal-commie-socialist bastard if you must, but I take no one at their word who aggrandizes themselves. Motivation is key to understanding anyone, I ask it of everyone and while genuity may make friends it seldom makes money.

You "pinko-liberal-commie-socialist bastard " :) feel better? :laugh: I agree Mr. Beck is an entertainer. And I appreciate you nailing all of the talking heads. But, I lean that way rather than the nonsense the established but dying media portray. btw, what the heck is a midwest limey? A drink?
