But seriously, that you're even trying to call me out on this is wild in the extreme.

Wow, I really have never noticed that you are so sensitive. You might be the first person I have ever met that "really, really" does think their shit doesn't stink.

We're conservatives. Of course we're grumpy.

YOhio, please find and post a FUNNY liberal take on conservatives so we can show our dislike of this clip is on the merits.

Uhh no.

You don't think it's funny--I've got it.

No harm, no foul.

I couldn't care less.

But you trying to make some kind of serious political something or other out of this is wild man. Talking about it as a POS ad. It's really out there.

Admit it, you just got bent out of shape.

I'm sorry, seriously.

I hear Rush Limbaugh's little comedy moments all the time. They are hilarious.

On the liberal side, you need go no further than Colbert or the Daily Show.

I'm not sure how many more times I'll have to type this, but "you don't think it is funny. I get it. No problem."

I don't think I have said anything in this thread to indicate the ad doesn't have me bent out of shape. It does. When I first saw it, it wasn't humorous to me. It ticked me off. However, nowhere did I say you couldn't find it funny.

What really has me pissed is the double standard from the media. The liberal media would be all over the right if they put out the same type of ad.

There is the difference. We just have a different funny bone. I think Rush is a buffoon.

If by liberal media do you mean, Air America? Do you mean the broadcast networks? MSNBC? The Nation? Huffington Post?

Yeah, some of them would. But then we essentially have a hybrid corporate-partisan press these days. The era of "journalistic objectivity" never really existed, but the journalism that sought multiple points of view and genuine balance that thrived after yellow journalism and lost much of it's habitat with the conversion to 24-hour commentary networks (they do very little news much of the time) and the New Media is an endangered species.

There is a profitable audience that will watch a liberal commentator "analyze" a conservative ad. That's where we are at. You know this, but I'm sure it can be frustrating.

There are very few media outlets I think are credible. In terms of broadcasting, NPR and C-Span are a cut above (I am actually one of the three people who watches C-Span, the program they have on Gordon Brown taking questions in the House of Commons on Sunday Nights at 9 Eastern is excellent).

The WSJ is worth reading to get news with a conservative (but often reasonable) perspective.

I've gone off-shore for much of my media. The BBC, the International Herald Tribune, CNN International (it's better than the domestic product), and Al-Jazeera English.
