Profiles in Liberal Ignorance, Hate, and Intolerance: Ted Danson
Vocal Minority ^ | 11/3/09 | EricTheRed_VocalMinority

Posted on 11/03/2009 5:28:50 AM PST by EricTheRed_VocalMinority

As often she does when she opens her mouth, Joy-less Behar shattered the myth that it’s liberal hosts and their liberal guests who corner the market on civility and intelligence. Yesterday she had help: actor/activist Ted Danson. They both traded jibes about how conservative Americans are easily brainwashed by the likes of Rush Limbaugh and the religious right because they’re not smart enough to form their own opinions.

This, of course, is in contrast to liberals like Joy Behar and Ted Danson who are sooo enlightened and sooo invulnerable to indoctrination that the fact they think exactly the same is just sheer coincidence!). It’s also mere coincidence that virtually every liberal/Democrat—from the mainstream newsrooms to the pressrooms and even to the White House—is responding to Rush’s Fox News Sunday interview with Chris Wallace using the exact same template. These libs really know how to formulate their own opinion, let me tell you!

Danson admitted that people like El Rushbo and the religious right “really piss me off, to be honest,” followed immediately by the claim that the right is all about playing on people’s fear and anger. This is, by the way, the same Ted Danson who in 1988 declared “We only have ten years to save the oceans” (for those of you in

Did CNN think they would compete with Glenn Beck with Joy Behar? Who thought it would be a good idea to give her her own show?

I been listening to Rush since 1992 (Clinton election) and he is not nearly as sharp as he was in those days. He was younger and more ambitious in those days too (for obvious reasons: success and age). Glenn Beck is kind of like that now. Both entertainers.

What really did in Rush's credibility is his support of GWB, almost 100% up till the end of 2006.

I really liked it when Beck said we would be worse off if McCain won because he would boil us slowly compared to fast like Obama.

I somewhat agree with Ted.

I’m not going to judge anyone or be the first to cast stones but SOMETIMES(not always) ,a few members of the religious right piss me too.

Specifically the anti-Catholic bashing gets my blood boiling.

Then you must have missed an awful lot of shows in your 17 years of listening. I think Rush is more charged up than he's ever been and if you heard him defend Bush 100% of the time you must have missed about 50% of his broadcasts.

RE :”I think Rush is more charged up than he's ever been and if you heard him defend Bush 100% of the time you must have missed about 50% of his broadcasts.

That was after 2006 election as I posted. In fact I remember him saying on his show late 2006 he was not going to ‘carry the administration's water’ anymore. After that he became more and more critical, but still feeling forced to stick with certain pro-Bush themes. The most obvious was to defend the Bush economy(didnt work out too well ), although I noticed he liked to skip back to Reagan economy many times.

Being charged up is not the same as being good(sharp). Of course he is charged up, democrats in power are the best thing to happen to him.

Actors.... they just know so much! /s

And yet 90% of the people in the world could act just as well as them. I mean, c’mon, it’s “ACTING!” Young children can do it. It makes me feel smarter just knowing that actors and their moronic minions are largely antagonistic towards my way of thinking.

Maybe it’s all of that self-congratulatory back patting they do for each other that gets them to thinking they could order someone else’s dog around.

So, if no one watched the Joy Behar show, would it make a sound when it fell in the forest?

One problem with the liberals in Hollywood is that they only read scripts and newspaper reviews of their performances.

If they’d read a book on politics now and then, maybe their opinions would be challenged.

Most conservative pundits have read at least a few books written by liberals just to find out how they think, how their logic is skewed. When you read a book written by a conservative, how many footnotes do you read? And what books are quoted?

When you read a book written by a liberal, take note of the use of words, the use of tangled logic, and the dearth of books referenced.

There is no comparison.

Articles by Muzlems tend to quote the Koran a zillion times as if the Koran is the final justification for their beliefs, even when their beliefs have been proven wrong by science or psychology.

This opinion is not 100% infallible, btw. Just my observation.
