Video: Solyndra now a punchline on “The Daily Show”
Hot Air ^ | 9/16/11 | Allahpundit

Posted on 09/16/2011 3:49:13 PM PDT by Nachum

To cleanse the palate, a long-distance dedication to all the liberals on Twitter who’ve spent the day insisting that Solyndra’s a non-story and that the media’s coverage is a product of “right-wing bullying.” (Read James Pethokoukis to see why.) I asked Jake Tapper which right-wing bully is responsible for making Brian Ross and the ABC crew do dozens of stories about this, but he’s being characteristically cagey. A better question: Which dastardly conservative blackmailed Stewart, hero of the left, into doing this segment? Could it be Breitbart? I’m going to say Breitbart, just because I know that’ll make them extra grumpy.

Don’t forget the sweetheart interest rate in the next segment, Jon.

Jonathan Lebowitz was Anthony Weiners roommate form the cross dressing days.

When a Dem looses a sycophant such as Jon Lebowitz, it’s over.

It's not possible to make fun of Obama, or something.

LOL

Did the Dem inflict Jon on the unsuspecting public? Your word is LOSE not LOOSE. They do NOT mean the same thing, except to a public school teacher.

Ack! Ack! The spelling police!

Actually, the one that makes me crazy is “rein” vs. “reign”.

I have read so many articles about “reigning in spending” or keeping someone on a tight “reign” - from journalists, yet. Makes me crazy.

But I bet you pay attention now. Conservatives simply should not be so "loose" and PC with the language as the Left is. They are destroying the language as a medium for communication. We should be conserving it. AS for the public school teacher comment. I know several who can't discern a difference between those two words and get agitated that anyone would think it makes a difference, after all, they know what they mean.

On case anyone would like to stop squabbling over a misspelled word and get back to the subject of this thread, here's the video in question.

This whole Solynda deal is SERIOUS, people.

Jon Stewart is a Big lefty - but many times he skewers the socialists - and does it good. (He also stands up for our troops EVERY time.)

Ridicule is the most successful weapon there is. With this on top of the asinine AttackWAtch snitch site is reducing this traitor in chief to a laughing stock. Once that starts, it's near impossible to recover.

But don't me interrupt your important squabble over a misspelled word.

The clip is funny, and well worth the watch!

And maine-iac, just a side note of advice to you and other FReepers who get seriously annoyed at the “trolls” who attempt to hijack/divert/degenerate threads:
1. Ignore them. They hate that.
2. When a troll shows up on a serious thread, they soon come under the attention of an admin mod, or the all volunteer corps of experienced troll baiters, otherwise known as Viking Kittens.(Cute cat pictures, droll comments)
Let the experts and/or the experienced troll baiters play with them for a while, before they are either gently reminded of the posting rules posted on the home page, or instantly “zotted”, and no longer allowed to post comments under their original screen name, no matter the date created.
3. It will get much worse. Politicians, and other groups of morally challenged organizations, actually pay people hard cash to monitor and post inane and disruptive comments on internet forums like FreeRepublic.

Ignore the trolls, or just laugh at their lame attempts.
Jim Robinson will occasionally issue a pointed reminder of the posting rules, and violaters will be dealt with, sometimes enmasse. Back to the topic...
