Go Jesse..The right shows how paper thin their defence is when properly challenged and taken off their talking points.


Watch video.

Oh, I see what you meant. Thanks

He has a radio show that starts immediately after the show and said "I have to go to radio" when he walked off. He was angry at that idiot, Ventura, but he went to start his radio show.

Anyone that talks about 9/11 being an inside job is an absolute idiot and loses any and all credibility.

Ventura's an idiot and is trying to sell a book.

Excellent point Jesse V makes - that dissent and questioning are NOT encouraged. Exemplified by that Faux guy who felt so threatened he ran away.

Nice of the guy to take two seconds to say "Goodbye, I have to go to radio, thanks for being on the show" first! Oh wait.

Why do you make excuses for the guy? He ran away in a pet.

Pointing out a fact is different than making excuses.

You think that because he wasn't courteous he was a coward? Or is it that he's with Fox News and you'll take any opportunity to try and discredit him?

So if we question Obama's inane policies, stupid decisions and overall ineptness, why are we attacked as just being "haters" and "jealous"?

The left is allowed to dissent. The right are just being crybabies, right?

Says the man who abused illegal steroids to advance his wrestling career. This guy ran for governor as an independent, but is a staunch liberal.

liberal how? When was the last time he advocated TARP or WAR? Both are liberal philosophies.

lol.

If he'd shaken hands with JV and said "Thanks for being on the show, I've got to leave" and I tried to discredit that, then you'd have a point.

But reality is that the guy flounced off the set past the cameras. I just wish he'd burst into tears first.

On all his previous shows does he run off past the cameras without saying goodbye to the guests, in order to make it on time to his radio program? Nope, only this one.

Can you define "staunch liberal", and then prove your point?
