On Real Time, Krugman Minimizes Iranian Threat (VIDEO)

Krugman, Carlson, and Behar were talking about the Iranian threat on Real Time last night. First question: Name me one thing Joy Behar understands about foreign relations. Oh, heck…never mind…. back to the segment.

Krugman and Carlson got into it over the threat of Iran, and incredibly Krugman offered this less-than-educated opinion:

Krugman: You’ve got all these Republicans talking about how Iran might establish a Caliphate and rule the world. You know this is not the poorest country in the world, but it’s pretty poor. It’s a small country. How did we get so frightened of a handful of Persians out there in the Middle East?

Oh, really? I guess Brigitte Gabriel, Walid Phares, Ayaan Hirsi Ali, and many other noted scholars are wrong about the nuclear threat of Iran. And WTF is this about “a handful of Persians”? Also, who does NOT know of Ahmadinejad’s desires to establish a Caliphate in the world, and have everyone convert to Islam? Krugman is obviously another mental midget; that, or he’s just a shill for the Democrats. Either way, he’s severely misguided.

Naomi Klein’s “Shock Doctrine” on Maher (VIDEO)

by MsUnderestimated — Categories: Are You Kidding Me?, Bill Maher, Liberal Indoctrination, STFU, Video — 5 Comments

On Real Time last night, Bill Maher had author Naomi Klein on to talk about her new book “Shock Doctrine,” which is about the evils of corporations, privativzation, and the free-market economy. She naturally has to bring in Blackwater as an evil of privatization. I’ll have another video piece later on Blackwater, but this piece with Naomi is too rich to miss. Crony capitalism, free-market ideology, corporatism, etc. Yes, all evil entities. And let’s not forget about the importance of “shared responsibility.” For those of you educated in government schools, that’s “income redistribution.”

I didn’t have time to transcribe this interview, but you can watch the video for yourself here.

Maher on SCHIP, Michelle Malkin & Others (VIDEO)

by MsUnderestimated — Categories: Are You Kidding Me?, Bill Maher, Liberal Bed-Wetters, Video — 9 Comments

As I said in my previous post, there was too much good material from Maher’s show last night to use. Now this segment is about the discussion of the SCHIP program and the Dems using a 12-year-old as a prop, who is theoretically unassailable (because he is a child, after all), but since they used him in their radio address, as Tucker points out, he, too, is fair game. My good friend Noel Sheppard at Newsbusters also did some transcribing some of this for me. Here’s a piece of his post at Newsbusters:

Moving forward, as a positive sidebar, very enthusiastic kudos go to MSNBC’s Tucker Carlson, who actually did a better job as the lone conservative on Maher’s show than possibly any I’ve seen. In fact, some of his comments to the New York Times’ Paul Krugman were absolutely spectacular.

In particular, when Maher moved the discussion to SCHIP, Carlson ripped Krugman to little pieces:

Krugman: What actually happened was they were looking for a bipartisan bill. This is a bipartisan bill to expand the children’s healthcare program. And they wanted something the Republicans would go along with. And that was the only tax they would go along with..

Carlson: So you’re blaming the Republicans for it?

Krugman: Yes.

Carlson: What are you working for them or something? What is this?

Krugman: Look at the House bill…

Carlson: Why don’t you address what he just said?

Krugman: The House version of the bill proposed to pay for it in large part by cutting the excess payments to insurance companies under the Medicare program…

Carlson: But why are you evaluating…

Krugman: …and the Republicans said, “No, we will not sign on to a bill that takes money from insurance companies. We will only take one from one that taxes smokers.” And you’re going to say that that’s a problem with the Democrats?

Carlson: I’m saying that the Democrats, look, I’m not defending the Republicans. You, meanwhile, are flacking for the Democrats by making excuses for something that’s indefensible.

Absolutely delicious!

Krugman: If you look at the programs these guys [Republicans] go after, they’re not the programs that are wasteful. They’re the programs that work. Because they don’t want the government to be helping people, and they don’t want…

Carlson: (sarcastically) Right, right, because they’re evil.

Krugman: No, because they think it’s a whole mistake. They want to go like Grover Norquist said, “I want to bring this country back to the way it was before Teddy Roosevelt and the socialists came in.”

Carlson: Can I ask you a quick question? Do you think it’s useful to begin a debate assuming that your opponent is evil and not just wrong? Because that’s what you’re doing. You don’t allow that the other person might have a legitimate point and explain the whole thing.

And let’s not overlook Joy-less Behar’s claims that “the Republican [presidential] candidates are a bunch of pussies,” and that Michelle Malkin is “a selfish bitch, probably. What a tool.

Joy Behar is nothing less than an intellectual midget. You can watch the exchange here.

Vicente Fox on Maher (VIDEO)

by MsUnderestimated — Categories: America-Bashing, Are You Kidding Me?, Bill Maher, Bush-Bashing, Video — 2 Comments

Well, last night’s Real Time was a bonanza of stupidity. The only shining light was Tucker Carlson, who surprisingly came out swinging for the Republicans. The guests were Joy Behar, Paul Krugman, and Tucker Carlson. But one of Bill’s special interviews was with former Mexican President, Vicente Fox. Bill prodded Fox, and often gave leading pre-answers to questions he posed to Fox. My good friend Noel Sheppard at Newsbusters, did a great job at transcribing the highlights of this shameful interview. Here’s a bit of Noel’s piece:

For those with a strong stomach, Maher began the interview with the following shameful question:

Maher: One party ruled Mexico for 71 years. And, for, I remember reading about this, for decades people were saying, “We want someone to come along and break that monopoly on power.” And you were finally the man who came along and did that. And that power, that party that was in power for all those years was very corrupt, and very inept. It was like having Bush Republicans in there for 71 years. Now is that, would that be a correct thumbnail telling of Mexican history, sir?

Amazing. Imagine how much hatred Maher must have for his own country’s president to ask such a question of a former world leader on national television.

Sadly, that was just the beginning of the Bush bashing, for later, Maher asked his guest the following:

Maher: I know you have very mixed feelings about President Bush. I know you are friendly with him because he came and visited you during his early days in office. That was a very gratifying thing for you. But that doesn’t really stack up against some of his giant boners like the Iraq war, does it? And, you’ve called him a “windshield cowboy.” What is that?

Incredible. So, now Maher was setting up Fox to himself make fun of our president. Sadly, Vicente did not take the highroad that a classier former head of state would:

FOX: Yes, you know, in that visit, I took him to see this beautiful stallion that I ride. And having rided all my life since I was too young, I noticed that he was a little bit trembling, a little bit afraid of touching the horse. I invited him to ride it, and he said, “No, no, no, security would not allow me to ride that horse.”

And then I paid a visit back here in Texas, and he invited me to go around his farm there, by the way, a very modest home he’s got there. And, he was driving this pickup, this beautiful pickup, and so I could notice that he knows how to drive a pickup, but he doesn’t know how to ride a horse.

Isn’t that special? Alas, there was more bashing in the following exchange:

Maher: I remember a couple of years ago at one of the correspondents’ dinners in Washington, his wife, Laura Bush, got up and told a story…

Fox: Great lady.

Maher: What?

Fox: Great lady.

Maher: Great lady? Well, sure, look who she’s standing next to.

What a swell guy, this Maher, eh? You can watch the interview here.

…And the Nobel Peace Prize Wept (CARTOON)

by MsUnderestimated — Categories: Are You Kidding Me?, Cartoons, Liberal Indoctrination, Telling It Like it Is — 3 Comments

My favorite political cartoonist, Michael Ramirez, depicts my feelings best.

But then again, he is in ‘good’ company, considering other winners have been Yasser Arafat and Jimmah Carter. The Nobel Peace Price has lost its purpose. I feel, as many do, that the U.S. Military men and women should have been the hands-down winner of the ‘peace prize.’ What does shilling for a scientific farce have to do with global peace? Sad… just very sad.
