It all started innocently enough. I received a call from a producer of a Viacom produced new show called “The Debate Show.” This was supposedly a six-part debate series on serious topics of the day including, Hollywood Obscenity (the show I was to appear on), NASA, Guns, Divorce, Obesity and Seniors’ Driving Licenses, to name a few topics I found on various websites seeking “regular” people to come on and debate from their point of view.
Considering that both MTV and Comedy Central have aired reasonably serious political content, e.g., The Jon Stewart Show, and Politically Incorrect, and that this is an election year, one felt safe to assume that, while conservatives who appeared would most likely be walking into a stacked deck of the Liberals’ poker hand, we’d get the chance to get our views across and we’re used to having panels stacked against us. We appreciated the opportunity to get a conservative point of view out at all to a younger audience.
They claim that they didn’t want professional pundits or experts. Well, no wonder. This show is NOT “The Debate Show,” as advertised and the name they use to procure panelists, but “Crossballs” a newly produced show for Comedy Central, owned by Viacom and MTV networks, and is a spoof of political debate shows that seeks to mock conservatives with actors posing as some of the panelists.

I really wish DishTV had just yanked all viacom shows, it would be no loss.
Viacom, until late last year, actually carried a feed for the terrorist organization Hezbollah. They only removed it after public pressure.

CALL DISH CALL DIRECT!!
ok I am calm now
The Daily Show is consistently funny but decidedly leftist. But Tough Crowd is anything but leftist, at least as far as the host is concerned. In the trenches of the culture war some ground is being taken. Not much but what the hell.
Tough crowd is may be a bit more to the right but I dislike the format. Why is every effort to show anti-PC have to be portrayed as pseudo grunting?
Because it's funny?
Actually South Park is one of the MOST anti-PC shows going.
I saw the Passion of the christ episode, I thought that was a bit in the PC territory.
That one I did not see. The "they took our jobs" episode was very anti-PC. The lefty on their "O'Reilly Show" was named "Aging Hippie Liberal Douche". They are very very anti-PC when it comes to gays.
I used to watch at least some Vh1 programming, however last week they aired "The 50 worst songs", and almost 30 percent of the so called "Worst" songs were anything with the word God or having any sort of Pro-American theme. After they added Toby Keith's "The Angry American", it was all I could do not to smash the screen. VH1=POS Liberal, Anti-American TV.
Sumner Redstone, the chairman of Viacom, is a piece of human filth and should be arrested for the destruction he has caused society.
I like Tough Crowd. It's funny and Colin tries to insert some balance.
He had four idiots from Err America on Tuesday's show and he just took them on, as best he could, without flinching.
The hard part is when they didn't want to answer a serious question, they would make a joke out of it.
When Colin pointed out their "facts" were lies, they made a joke out of it.
They also had Red State Blue State on that show and some Green tried to insert himself in the debate. The only thing Red State and Blue State could agree on is they all hate Green Moron.
I guess you never saw the episode when all the "richers" and "cash chuckers" like Oprah, Snoop Dog and Will Smith tried to move into town. :-)
Sorry, but that pile of sh-t song, along with Don't Worry Be Happy, makes me want to take out my 9 and shot the radio. That song is but one reason I refuse to listen to Hannity.
Dave's bit on "Black President Bush" is a classic!
On Saddam: "That n****r tried to kill my faaaather!!!"
"Have the UN come on over with their army and sanction me. What?! Wait a minute! The UN doesn't HAVE an army? Then they need to shut-the-f**k-up!"
On Kofi Annan: "He might speak 16 languages. But he's gonna need 'em when he's in Times Square selling fake hats!
Want to see an answer to the leftist Daily Show? Check out Dennis Miller on MSNBC. Just saw him interview Tom Selleck about an hour ago, and he's a lot funnier than Jon Stewart. Miller's been at it for a bit longer, so that's understandable.
Yes Chappelle's Show is very funny.
I caught that "Black Bush" skit, and man, it had me howling!
He also did a skit that had a panel of pundits no a talk show, and Snoop Dog comes out and plops down next to the white liberal. When the white liberal starts assuming Snoop supports him, Snoop comes off with, "Hey, I'm a Republican, BIATCH!" When the liberal looks at him funny, Snoops stands up, gets in his face and says, "WHAT?? You got a problem wit' dat?" I totally lost it.
I also caught Chappelle one time where he was like, "Do y'all want to know how I feel about the President? Do y'all want to know how I feel about the war? Thank you, good night!"
Smart man! He knows that if he voices his honest opinion on the show, no matter what that may be, he loses half his audience.
But since I'm working swing shift now, I don't get to see Chappelle - my late night entertainment consists of Futurama, Family Guy, and Aqua Teen Hunger Force on Cartoon Network. And of course, bashing leftists and Islamonazis. >:-)
