Jon Stewart and Colbert are comedians, but they expose the real world of rightist dogma. Long may they ride the waves.<br /><br /> Bitterweed--As an 'arrogant git of the first water' it is my duty to hoist my hand. I did tell Habib a week or two ago, and anyone else reading at that time. No apologies here, I remember the barren years only too well. As it is in north america, a team that wins year after year will have a polarising effect, so there will be bitterness. I'm not MUFC win or draw though, like to think I can give the other team credit where due, as in the case of Leeds earlier in the FA cup. Anyway, who would you prefer to win the league? The oil capo or the yankee capitalists? Can't say I support either ownership. Will support the club though. <br /><br /> Paul, some good analysis there, but I would say that a portion of Americans, the Republican base for instance, are swayed to the hollow tactics of McCarthy. Not all by any measurement. There is hope for them yet!Boudicanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11399010790979190445noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1141707904735688626.post-61829296403326855822010-04-20T00:57:40.858+01:002010-04-20T00:57:40.858+01:00Paul

As if there's ever been a "left" and a "right" in US politics in the last fifty years... there's been a slight couple of geographic slivers East and West whence comments about the benefits of progressive politics have emanated - and make the world feel safer. Then there's been occasional voices out of Chicago, the rust belt, New Orleans. The US as a whole has never had a "left" since the Teamsters took hold of the Unions.Bitterweedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12290137850441509784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1141707904735688626.post-62779303719919070062010-04-20T00:05:33.904+01:002010-04-20T00:05:33.904+01:00Montana - sometimes when the Daily Show covers the...Montana - sometimes when the Daily Show covers the other news networks, I genuinely think that the footage has been mocked up at Comedy Central. It's just frightening...and then John Stewart, a comedian, manages such good interviews - the Huckabee ones, for example, two guys coming from very different ideological positions, but being calm, reasoned, nobody calls anyone a commie, nobody calls anyone a fascist...and then you see the 'professionals' and wonder if you aren't in fact watching CCTV footage of a fight in a wine bar.

Just to take one example, Gore Vidal's views</i><br /><br />Actually no, Edwin, the "fire of white terror" has <b>not</b> been stoked by some on the left. There is no one on what little "left" that exists in this country who has enough influence with the average American to stoke any fears of any sort. Very few "average" Americans would have any clue who Gore Vidal is and of the handful of people you might find who've ever even heard his name, I could pretty much guarantee you that not one of them would give a rat's ass about what Gore Vidal thinks of anything.<br /><br />The average American has never heard of Noam Chomsky or Naomi Klein or Paul Krugman. There are exactly two left-leaning hosts of current affairs TV programmes -- Keith Olbermann and Rachel Maddow, both on MSNBC. Apart from Olbermann and Maddow, <i>The Daily Show</i> -- <b>a comedy programme</b> -- does a better job of reporting on politics from a centre-left perspective than any mainstream media outlet.<br /><br />The right, on the other hand, has an entire network that doesn't even pretend to be unbiased (despite their "Fair and Balanced" motto) and the three broadcast networks all lean right, as well (the anchors on two of them were/are both personal friends of Bush II). In addition, there is a raft of extreme-right nationally broadcast radio programmes and every major radio market in the country has its own local right-wing radio hosts, as well.<br /><br />Gore Vidal has as much influence over the views of the average American as I have over the train schedules in Japan.Montana Wildhackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11409705185204787671noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1141707904735688626.post-77997214811487408432010-04-19T23:56:20.191+01:002010-04-19T23:56:20.191+01:00"Last week, I met a rural Chelsea supporter, ..."Last week, I met a rural Chelsea supporter, who told me that Polly Toynbee raped the next door's beagle."deano30https://www.blogger.com/profile/12637249297224887297noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1141707904735688626.post-29736754565582514102010-04-19T23:53:55.311+01:002010-04-19T23:53:55.311+01:00"Last week, I met an Asian fishmonger, who to..."Last week, I met an Asian fishmonger, who told me that benefit scroungers set fire to a bag of kittens."<br /><br />It's brill I loved the one about the gay miner!<br /><br />Night all.deano30https://www.blogger.com/profile/12637249297224887297noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1141707904735688626.post-8138273680861967122010-04-19T23:46:14.356+01:002010-04-19T23:46:14.356+01:00Indeed,
