He is prime time and he is an easy target, that is the fascination. Not to mention he goes out of his way to get owned at least once a week.

Fox News are about as big as sheep as CNN. At least Fox act like they care about the budget abd other important fiscal issues. Its still entertainment.

When you Sheep figure out the 2 party system is a scam, maybe you will shave your wool.

The "slap down" wasn't the oral arguments. Those weren't any more compelling than any other I've heard. It was the fact that after Morgan called for a commercial break, Ventura took control of the show and the audience (theoretically all guests of Morgan) unanimously sided with Ventura.

Yes, wonderful comeback. Wonderful amount information refuting anything anyone has said. The bottom line is you British live in a nanny state, where the government decides when, where, how, you will do ANYTHING. And you have given into it and, moreover, have voted for it and are happy with it.

You have no wants of personal responsibility and/or freedom. It means nothing to you. You want the government to pay for way of life and pay your way of everything. And as long as that is done, you don't care.

Well, the United States is different (at least some of us are). Some of us want freedom and personal responsibility. Some of us want to own guns, shoot guns, eat red meat, and yes, drink from REAL GLASS. We don't want our government to infringe upon us, by banning it, because some of us are scared of life and can't face it on our own.

I was THREATENED by a follow countrymen of yours, with physical violence, because of my viewpoints and WE are a violent society? What about that doesn't concern you? But did I run? Hide? Nope. I put out the dates I'll be in London. In fact, here is more for you: I'll be staying in the Canary Wharf area. In fact, one of my favorite pubs in that area is "The Clipper." Look for the black, bald man, with a blonde white woman (my wife).

I'll be more then happy to discuss things with you, your country men's "mates," etc.

Your country BANS movies, because they are "too violent." In fact, the term "nanny state" was thought of by THE BRITISH in response to themselves. You have the most violent culture in the entire of Europe. You have had to shut down most of your military and lay off vast majority of your police forces, to keep up with your socialism and welfare.

Why don't you put your own house in order, before you come to the United States, and get involved with our own internal politics? I'll bet you've probably never even set foot in the United States, yet you know all about it. How? Reading the BBC. Which your government, the nanny government, can censor. Oh yes, don't forget, the British Government can censor anything put out in the media; unlike the violent United States.

On the contrary, I lived in the US for 18 years, lived in 3 different states and also traveled extensively throughout 15 states. I'm still a home owner there (It's being rented out) and have family and friends in various states. LA, Ventura, Santa Barbara, San Antonio,Austin, Forth Worth, New Orleans are place I lived. Oh and I was a gun owner for a couple of years.

Correction. The Clipper pub is in Rotherhithe and not Canary Wharf...there is a river you have to cross to get to Rotherhithe.

To the rest of your post. With all due respect, you do come across as just another blatherer of the same tired regurgitated rhetoric heard often from people like you, whose only knowledge of Britain is spouted from the airwaves by disturbed right wing fear mongering demagogues, brought to you by your radio stations and TV, so blather away.

As for meeting you, I am particular about who I meet. I don't meet random fantasists off an internet message board known for it's kooks, I'm also not impressed to hear you have a "blonde white wife". Am I supposed to be impressed? Self hating black men don't impress me.

Gosh all that right wing rhetoric and gun tottin' s**t I've read from you (yes, glanced at your posting history) is worthy of a Dave Chappelle skit....it's comical...damn! You're for real right?

Anyway

Cheers

I have an overwhelming vicseral reaction to him and would like to punch him in his smug face, but as long as he's p*****g off nut jobs like Alex Jones and Jessie Ventura, I'll be cheering him on.
