I think this video is the best summary of the Palin/McCain problem. Check it out

Can you believe Jon Stewart can put MSM to shame? This fake news show has more factual news than MSM all put together! Sad commentary isn't it?

Ah...gotta love Jon Stewart and TDS!

palin has used her children for political fodder since she popped them out of her womb

they are in the game

lets destroy them

im going after willow....i hear she cheats at chutes and ladders

Re: smk 101 -- I totally agree. There've been moments over the last eight years where I thought everyone had gone totally insane. Thank Heaven for the Daily Show.

Have a good day.

Abbybwood @ 9:

Here's how truly rotten Fox News' coverage of McCain is. They actually used footage from 8 years ago to try to make "their candidate" look younger!!!:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HPoaovzD6x4&feature=rec-fresh

The Republican Mouthpiece is now outed to all americans for what they are...hooray! They're getting pretty desperate, I'd say. How's the boycott of the sponsors of all Fox programming coming along?

Every dog (or swine as the case may be) has their day and Palin's is coming soon.

McCain's $500 shoe's are nothing, try Cindy McCain's $300,000 outfit!

Washington outsider John McCain and his wife Cindy hail from Arizona, a rough-and-tumble frontier state where red-blooded Americans stand up to elitist Northerners like Barack Obama, who has sold millions of books and not on QVC, like a normal person might do, and who jets around the world to give celebrity speeches in Europe.

But the other night Cindy McCain poked a little hole in her down-home cred by taking the RNC stage in an outfit that cost $300,000, give or take, according to the fashion experts at Vanity Fair.

Cindy McCain
Oscar de la Renta dress: $3,000
Chanel J12 White Ceramic Watch: $4,500
Three-carat diamond earrings: $280,000
Four-strand pearl necklace: $11,000–$25,000
Shoes, designer unknown: $600
Total: Between $299,100 and $313,100

Her outfit cost more than my house!

Well, if make clear that these pundits state their opinions depending on the person that they're talking about, and not because of some kind of 'principle' that they think that the subject should adhere to.

That is the essence of "advocacy journalism", which is the Fox News networks function - advocacy for the GOP. Accordingly, I don't know why the Democrats give Fox News the time of day.

Don't you just love the digital age, where everything people say public, is stored somewhere.

They should spread that video.

Dow down 350 points. Let the good times roll!

and did you notice in kkkarl's praise of palin that he elevated wasilla to alaska's second largest city!?!?!? sorry fairbanks, juneau, college, sitka, etc. you just fell off the map. i only wish someone would develop a pop-up fact-checker to shoot down some of the whoppers these guys come up with.

Can you beleive McCain has to change the Convention to a Town Hall setting? Is he that nervous or inept?

Daily Show rules!

I wonder if Rove and people like Ms. Ptofenfuffel see this?

I can't wait for the McCain camp to come out and say that late night comedians are biased!

The hardest part about doing a clip like that is narrowing down the plethora of choice available. You could fill a weeks time with just Billo the Clown.

Some of the best PWNAGE I've seen in awhile

Facts don't lie. Thanks for the good laugh John. However, republicons would say that we're being unfair and bias. The amount if hypocrisy is amazing!

what upsets me about this clip is the msm could show the 2 clips to these assholes when their on the show and ask them to comment on their hypocrisy. but hell would freeze over before that would happen.

Stupid Git @ 27:

Truly brilliant. Once again, fake journalists are doing the jobs of the real ones.

This clip should be required viewing for all "journalists".

Do Democratic strategists watch John Stewart or Stephen Colbert?

It should be mandatory!!!!

Best clip by Stewart yet!

I hope Obama NEVER goes on the Factor!

Man that was funny....and incredibly disturbing at the same time. And so many people still believe these fucks. Thank you so much John Stewart, I don't know what I'd do without you and a few other journalistic patriots.....the other 95% of the MSM can eat shit!

They are not to happy with Sarahs and Rudis off the cuff remarks last over at wellstone.org which trains community organizers. Just a example:

posted by Elana WolowitzSEPTEMBER 04, 2008

Last week in Denver, Democrats highlighted the biography of their party's presidential nominee, Barack Obama, and the fact that he got his start as a community organizer on the South Side of Chicago.

One interesting twist this election year has been the nation's exposure to community organizing as a job, and as something that might help prepare an individual to lead. It's not surprising that much of the country hadn't heard of community organizing before now. A good organizer is always in the back of the room, or better yet, outside collecting sign-in sheets.

However, last night here in our great hometown of St. Paul, Republicans gathered for their turn to make their case to voters. And Vice Presidential nominee Sarah Palin, along with former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani, openly mocked and derided the job of community organizing.

Comparing her experience to that of Obama's, Palin said "I guess a small-town mayor is sort of like a community organizer - except that you have actual responsibilities".

Now, let me be clear: my interest here is not to defend Barack Obama's experience, but the professional field to which Wellstone Action trains people to devote their lives.

So let me outline, for anyone who may be curious, the responsibilities of a community organizer:

8am -
Wake up, knowing that the day ahead of you will require you to work long hours, for little pay, less thanks, and zero credit.

Sit down at your desk, or pick up your cell phone, and figure out the people in the community you need to talk to to identify the challenges being faced. Set up meetings with leaders and regular people to get buy-in on the proposed solution.

12pm -
Make decisions about how best to proceed with your plan for change in your community. Figure out how you will influence powerful interests without any resources other than your own scrappy resourcefulness and the support of many individuals earned by painstakingly building relationships.

5pm -
Figure out who in your community wields power and influence, who doesn't, and why. Make hundreds of calls, knock on hundreds of doors, and listen to hundreds of stories in order to bring people together in common cause. Convince folks to set aside what makes them different and focus on their shared interest - it's the only way to build common ground and affect change.

8pm -
Learn from those around you and prepare for the next day. Write follow-up notes, make confirmation calls, and thank your volunteers. Remind yourself to be tenacious, because the process of change is long and can be slow in coming.

Being an organizer means putting the needs of the community above yourself and your ego. Your task is to influence the powerful with little more than the common will, and do so while developing the leadership of those around you. A good organizer is always working to put themselves out of a job, because many others should be prepared to step up and take their place. You listen and learn, coordinate and plan, arrive early and stay late, and do the real work that improves people's lives.

It's easy to laugh at something unfamiliar, or mock something you don't understand. But community organizers have been the ones that moved our country forward during times of crisis and great change. They are ordinary people working to improve their communities - that doesn't sound very elitist, does it?

For more information on what community organizing is, check out the writings of Harvard professor (and community organizer) Marshall Ganz.

Please go over there and let them know that we also condemn the attacks made on them last night and that they are vital to our communities.

P.D. @ 22:

Dow down 350 points. Let the good times roll!

4 MORE YRS 4 MORE YRS 4 MORE YRS!!!

Isn't this the first convention of the party in power when we haven't heard this chant?

will the clinton people please stfu???

http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0908/13129.html

the attacks are not sexist

both parents neglected their duties

palin lied that her hubby would stay home to take care of the children

was it sexist when people questioned why edwards would leave his wife with cancer when he started his run for the nom?

The greatest thing about the McCain/Palin ticket is that it combines so many of the stupid attacks the GOP has been slinging at Democrats for the last 12 years with a real example of fact within their own ticket.

Anti-American associates
Anti-American spouse
Crazy church services/pastors
Teen pregnancy
Lies about record
Lies about votes
Lies about military service
Lies about the press
Lies about taxes
Lie about pork
Lightweight political history
Sex scandals
Sexism
Elitism
Abuse of Power
Temper

They are the perfect storm.

That piece says it all about what we are up against. It's going to be very difficult to defeat the Right Wing Media. I doubt we will ever get them to ask fair tough questions this election season. We will hear spin, spin and more spin! Our National Media is a freaking joke.

I hope Obama NEVER goes on the Factor!

He's scheduled to be on tonight. The second part of the interview will be aired next week. Supposedly Obama met with Murdoch and Ailes and hammered out an agreement. We'll see whether BillO has been instructed to be gentle with Obama.

I have the PERFECT remedy to the RNC, everyone.

Re-watch Obama's acceptance speech!!

Gotta say..I'm hoping for a "FUCKIT! We'll do it LIIIVE!!! type moment.

obama should right off the bat ask the asshole, why he didn't serve his country during the viet nam war.

I'm so glad to have someone who can identify with me.

And then there is Sarah

Please Sarah Palin, continue to talk the way you did last night. You know, sarcastic, full of yourself, explaining why you are more qualified than Obama, lying about your accomplishments and most of all criticizing the press. Please keep criticizing the press, your party has had a free ride until now.

Oh, and I want to thank you for firing your librarian because she refused to remove some books from the library, you know, like Huckleberry Finn. I am so sorry public pressure made you hire her back. You are so wonderful, you should be in charge of our minds.

I was very impressed that you fired your employee that refused to fire your ex brother-in-law. Nasty old trooper gate investigation.

I certainly do agree with you that a woman who is raped should not be able to get an abortion. I'm sure she asked for it in the first place, with short skirts or shorts. And incest? Well, that's a family matter.

Do they still call your "Church of God" Holy Rollers? I don't attend church, so it will be a privilege to live by your religious beliefs. Nasty old separation of church and state.

I want you to know I support you in your quest to set women back 30 years. You go girl.

PS Have you paid all your back taxes?

Republicans are the biggest hypocrites and liars on world. They have no conscience and will say anything. Case proved here.

Ya this is why they win Peabodys, and they should be getting Pulitzers.

And from what I've heard "Papa Bear" is going to go easy on Obama. Bill-O's ego is way too fragile to do anything that would potentially prevent prestigious guests guests from coming on his show. Though I think it would be better if he didn't Obama would look great handling Bill-O if he went out in his sweaty wind-bag interview mode. Maybe the agreement was for Hannity to keep his pal Hal Turner off the set that day.

I am reading the Right Wing Wacko boards. They are saying this video just show how desperate the Democrats are.

SOCCER MOM VERSUS PITBULL………… the comparison continues…..

1) pitbull not so good in bed
2) pitbull smarter on international affairs
3) pitbull won’t bring president john THE BUSH REPUBLICAN mccain coffee in bed
4) pitbull won’t fit in with a CINDY vs SARAH Wet T-Shirt Contest on the whitehouse lawn
5) pitbull trained to keep her mouth shut
6) soccer mom wears lipstick
7) pitbull doesn’t have 17 year-old (119 in dog years) pregnant daughter
8) pitbull doesn’t put unborn baby at risk by flying to alaska after water breaks (huskies however do)
9) if you have sex, and your balls are still attached, it was a pitbull
10) pitbull doesn’t mind being called BITCH

PLEASE ADD YOUR OWN TO THE LIST….

Stewart ought to do the ads for Obama.

I hope Stewart looks into how "Soccer Barbie" got to be VP. We all know she came highly recommended.

"10 million up front and another 10 million when you pick Sarah Palin, John.

P.S. I hope Cindi likes the gold dress I sent her. Maybe she can ware it Tuesday night at the Convention.

The Newt Gingrich interview was also great - especially at the end when the topic came to Sarah Palin's hypocrisy.

A definite high point for The Daily Show, and I imagine tonight will be more of the same.

Jill @ 60:

I also remember Glenn Beck criticizing the parenting and family values of the Spears family when it was announced that Jamie Lynn was pregnant. But as you can guess, with Palin (whom he adores and thinks was an excellent choice for VP), he defends and says that "all families have their problems" and "it's a private matter"

Just another Hypocrite to add to the list.

I hate Glenn Beck.

PS Have you paid all your back taxes?

why, when dealing with the issue of abortion, do people stop at the rape and incest question

sarah palin doesnt believe abortion should be legal....ever....even in cases of the health or life of the mother

this is the most extreme view

it means that a woman is no more than a womb, the second she concieves

but as we now see, once the kid is born, the parent has no responsibility at all

which does fit into the wingnut christian world view....and thats why they love her

this woman and her family must be totally, and utterly destroyed
