It seems to poke fun at people who eat scripting for their nourishment.

Some people are uncomfortable without new scripture every day.

They demand to be fed.

They are junkies.

They'll eat anything, with or without, ketchup.

It's important to take virtually anything you hear or see in media form with a grain of salt (or a truckload of it). Money is rarely, if ever, separate from some sort of agenda.

And, agendas are conspiracies.

That's the problem. It's overwhelmingly Liberal propaganda hiding behind the guise of comedy. Young people watch this and actually think it's the news, when it's essentially a Conservative attack machine masquerading as a harmless comedy show. Do they attack Democrats? Yes, but only enough to have examples to point to so they can claim they make fun of both sides.

It's comedy aimed at the young Liberal hivemind, who believe they're enlightened and smarter than everyone else, but are actually too dumb to see how they're being manipulated.

Slanted, but "balanced".

Fox deserves the same accolade.

No one wants to drive with a wobbly flywheel.

Actually, though, Stewart and Colbert attack negative traits in people.

Fox News attacks . . . people.

Just like too many right wingers use the opinion based channel of Fox News when making their decision on who to vote for. So it balances out.

Does Mr. Schiff deny referring to people as "retarded?" No.

Is he so stupid as to believe that hearing the full interview would in some way negate the hatefulness of those statements, or does he think that they would have been lost in the full word salad?

Gotta ask: why no outrage from the Palinistas that jumped on her bandwagon when she lambasted anyone who dared use the "r" word?

Why does Mr. Schiff get a pass?
