Trust me, i don't watch it much at all. Usually it's non-stop bush bashing but I was curious to see what they'd do with the elections. In usual fashion, they painted Obama positively and Mccain as a demented old bat that nobody liked.

The subtly of comedy central's left wing bias is nothing but a brain washing, entertainment machine. People naturally keep coming back for entertainment and there's no chance they'll leave with anything but negative views on Republicans and positive views on Democrats if all they do is get their news from entertainment.

Most young people, do not watch cspan or even the regular news so their worldview is shaped largely by the entertainment they consume. Comedy central has a large part of the adult comedy market corned as well as young adults. Basically, it's indoctrinating kids and young adults who don't know any different into thinking all republicans are racists who want to hoard all their money for themselves.

Why can't they be smart and get their brainwashing entertainment from Fox like you do?

Yeah, "hehe", if it is funny to you, your lack of a capability to actually present a real debate while resorting each and every time into adhominum defense tactics does your side no good, except for those of who are as indoctrinated as you and go along with "the joke" whatever that may be.

The other thing that is totally obvious is that McCain and Hillary, stiff aged politicians, are way way easier to make fun of then Obama is. The Daily Show makes fun of those who are in power. Why don't you go back into their archives and see how much airtime they devoted to making fun of Clinton when he was president? (hint: a lot)

It's fair to say that they've made more fun of Bush then they did of Clinton, but jesus christ who hasn't? (and they still got Clinton plenty) Those guys are simply a non stop gold mine of things to make fun of... and Clinton at his worst never came anywhere close to the amount of pigfuckery that Bush and Cheney have visited upon the world.

Going back to your previous post about Mccain's age, yeah he'd old, how is that a bad thing if he is in good shape? It is nothing but a good thing yet still the left wing entertainment media constantly portrays him as a demented old man who just today stayed up past 7pm for the first time this year or something like that.

I understand political humor and i've witnessed clinton get reamed a lot but just watch the divide that will present itself on shows like the daily show when they portray McCain and Obama. As he was tonight, I have no doubt that Obama will get handled with kid gloves and even when they do crack a joke it's always in some cleverly good way.

Quick:

1.) Think of a funny joke about a photogenic 46 year old guy.

2.) Think of a funny joke about a wrinkly 71 year old man.

After you've finished these two exercises tell me which one you found easier.

He deflected by making his reply about me instead of the topic at hand. He created a (bad) strawman by insinuating I get all my news from a single source and it's ad hominem because he's also insinuating that all the views i consume are republican (that's all Fox News is remember).

Edit; Who died and made you the judge anyway? You should be a paralegal at best, maybe a janitor in a courthouse living off government cheese, or working at the DMV.

sorry but this is like complaining that espn shows too much sports shows and not enough soap operas.

If there is an audience for political comedy then you are GOING to GET political comedy.

Until people stop tuning into the comedy then the stations will keep showing it.

Don't be mad about it.

And don't think for once that libruls are indoctrinating the young by the librul media...

thats what we have those librul educators and the libbie commie professors for!

A straw man is where you misrepresent someone's argument in order to make it easy to defeat.

Saying you get your news from FOX is not a straw man.

I'm not about to write my senator to change the laws. I like political comedy myself but what nobody has even attempted to deny yet is that comedy central is extremely biased in favor of the Democratic party.

It is pretty amazing, that despite the librulz apparently controlling the press, television, the news, grade schools and universities, science the world over, etc... etc... that the Republicans have been running them over pretty effectively since 1980. I mean what's the good of a nationwide propaganda conspiracy if this is what we have to show for it?

Rush ruins yet another potentially fine mind.....or the OP is being Ironic. Not sure which, but the OP protests pretty hard about Brainwashing, while exhibiting classic Brainwashed traits.

A born again Christian is also not an insult to other Christians. Among most liberals though it's lower than scum off a toilet. Also, a Strawman doesn't have to have anything to do with the argument at all. You could be for person X and instead of debating the merits someone might argue that you wear pink polka dot ties because someone with pink polka dot ties is easier to mock and belittle than your actual arguments. Him painting me as a fox news viewer is like an instant strawman to most liberals around here especially.

No, that would be an ad hominem attack.

A straw man has everything to do with your opponent's position.

These things aren't hard to look up man.

Nonsense.

If you had complained about some adult channel, I would have told you the same thing, don't watch it if you don't like it. So you have no claim to call foul there.

As for the rest, you fell back on the weak Think of the Children argument (a form of appeal to authority fallacy), and got what you deserved.

This wouldn't be a problem if you actually understood politics beyond the "liberals bad" stage. IOW, you're just as bad as what you're damning, but from the opposite perspective.

Nobody has denied comedy central is funny. You've missed the point. The point is that the vast majority of the time they portray republicans negatively and (Obama) and other popular liberals positively. I'm not calling they be shut down, don't get me wrong.

is there some material on Obama that you think is particularly funny and these librul biased comedy shows just happened to not air it?? and/or avoid?

because I'd like to see this material.

I do think they have plenty of skits on pelosi, Kennedy blah blah blah..

Or let me put it this way (so I can use the same argument you are)

the vast majority of the time they show comedy skits that are biased against libruls!!

you can't make a statement like that without backing it up bud.

Either way it's still a strawman because by painting me as a fox news brain washed fool who wouldn't know liberal bias from a hole in the ground, he basically created the strawman argument and set it on fire to anyone who believes that fox news is a republican indoctrination machine.
