I've seen that going around and my favorite part is that some people are saying he did it to distract from the remarks he was making. As opposed to the obvious easier plan there of not having a press conference where you make them.

My favorite bit about this being staged is that people claim to have seen this woman before in other stock and cock speeches from Obama, just with different clothing and hairstyles. I couldn't agree any more, because I keep seeing this grey-haired toothy bastard who calls himself "Joe" hanging around the president way too much for my liking. WHO IS THE REAL JOE, MR. PRESIDENT, AND WHY DOES HE ALWAYS APPEAR AT YOUR FUNCTIONS?

I feel bad for her. I don't feel bad for Ted Cruz. E: The one good thing to come from the video is that now when someone from outside the US asks what the deal is with the Tea Party, I can just say it's "grown adults who are so incapable of coping with the reality of having a black president that they will sink to literally any low they can to try to discredit him" and then show them the video. mr. mephistopheles fucked around with this message at 18:54 on Oct 24, 2013 |

When I saw Bill Clinton speak before the last election a woman in the crowd fainted. Obama is truly a mastermind. Or being on your feet without moving for hours in a crowd sucks.

Heh... Hannity called the health care help line earlier in the week and got the poor lady he talked to fired. Granted, she's not blameless since one pretty big thing when you're working for a company is dont talk to the media beyond what you would normally do in your normal duty and leave anything further to designated spokespeople, but he should have known what was going to happen. He's apparently giving her $25k and trying to help her find a new job to make up for it though.

I heard the tail end of this call, so I don't know if he ever identified he was calling in with a radio show, but he definitely never identified himself as he asked her if she has ever heard of a guy named Sean Hannity or seen the show Hannity on Fox and she said no. Also the whole reason he called was to be a dick and then she was so friendly that he felt the need to point out how "surprisingly helpful and kind" she was multiple times. Like that time O'Reilly went to a black restaurant and didn't get murdered.

Didn't we get out asses kicked in the War of 1812? I mean, eventually it paid off in that Britain actually paid attention to US sovereignty, but we weren't really prepared for it and kept losing battles.

You're right in that the first year or so we kept getting our asses kicked because it turns out having state militias being the nations army is a really, really stupid idea.

Britain didn't really try, they were busy tied up in Europe with that whole Napoleon thing. The war eventually petered to a stop after America achieved some of its war goals so it was a technical 'victory' for the US largely because the British couldn't be bothered to keep fighting. I wouldn't call it a draw though. America's main goals were basically to assert its sovereignty, to get Britain to stop being a dickhole on the ocean, and to get Britain to stop supporting Native resistance to American expansion. The first was just like yeah sure, whatever you say little guy, the second (impressment and embargo with France) ended when the Napoleonic wars did, and Britain gave up concessions on Native checks to American power. Really nobody won, because the reasons it was fought were bullshit and temporary. Canadians like to think they won because they prevented a nebulous attempt by the US to annex Canada which wasn't going to happen anyway. boner confessor fucked around with this message at 23:41 on Oct 24, 2013 |

Real historians do consider it to be a draw. No side gained anything out of it, no side really lost anything out of it - the burning of DC kinda sucked but it didn't really impact poo poo as much as you might expect since there was little of importance in DC back then. On the sidelines of it, one of the major Indian confederations got destroyed in the crossfire, and there was the end of pushes to annex Canada by force. To the British it was a minor conflict because throughout the time the war of 1812 went on, they were fighting Napoleon in Europe.

Aside from the Native American fighting in the war, that is usually left out and is really important, it was a Status Quo Ante Bellum, literally nothing changed. That's one of the reason that only Canada really gives a drat about the war because they get to pretend that British North America was Canada back then.

I tuned in today midway through and he had someone on that he said he was going to try to find a job in the Florida panhandle area. Was that her? I was just stunned that he was asking if she wanted a full time job or what and that he was actually trying to be helpful to someone since Hannity is the worst of the smarmy fucks on the radio. Why do I keep listening to these hateful bigots, am I broken inside?

Dumb question, what is the goon consensus on Charles Krauthammer? He seems to come off as rather intelligent in the points he was making on Jon Stewart, and seemed to somewhat disown the "Ted Cruz/Tea Party" brand of lunacy. Is there any sort of "good" voices on the right that don't border on racist/bible thumper?

The stations are starting to pull away from Sean Hannity, after the Cumulus departure. Detroit's largest station, WJR 760, dropped Hannity from its website. The replacement seems to be Michael Savage, and WJR's afternoon schedule just has a blank. http://www.wjr.com/common/more.php?m=10&mode=schedule&r=2 Hannity's replacement station is a barely-known station that syndicates the conservative radio third-string, like Dennis Miller.

FuzzySkinner posted:Dumb question, what is the goon consensus on Charles Krauthammer? Krauthammer is deeply rooted in the GOP establishment, but still very conservative. I think his leanings could be best described as neoconservative. If he's taking ultra-right-wing GOP'ers to task then he's usually making pretty decent points from either a strategic standpoint or a political standpoint. Anytime he's critizing the left, though, it's pretty much just all straw men. Unfortunately that second part with all the straw men makes up like 80% of his job. He's like a more sane version of Karl Rove.
