This Cliff May guy misses the very important point that Jon is trying to make, and his efforts to conflate Jon's position with a completely passive position is frankly pissing me off.
Jon is obviously correct here and is this little piss-ants intellectual superior.
Like the Nazis with the Jews before them, these people have demonized Arabs and Moslems to the point they no longer see them as people. If these things were done to Americans/white Europeans, the conservatives would be the first to get outraged. And they're too stupid too realize that we have set a horrible precedent and that all their arguments will come back to bite the US in the ass. Not a good idea for a superpower on the way down...
ReplyDeleteThanks for posting this!
ReplyDeleteAs usual, Stewart conducted a FAR superior interview to those in the "real" media. I only wish he'd pushed May further on the fact that a) no real "intelligence" was gained from the waterboarding and that b) the real reason it was done was to coerce them to make an Iraq-911 connection.
Thank dog for Jon Stewart, I could not have gotten through the bush years if not for him. He puts most of our so-called "news" organizations to shame.
ReplyDeleteI caught the excerpts of this last night on the show but haven't had time to watch the whole interview yet. Jon Stewart is great - and even May said it was one of the best interviews he has had. The MSM is no longer real news. "Fake" news is where investigative, real journalism has gone.
ReplyDeleteJon was fantastic....he seems to be one of a very few people willing to conduct a serious and in-depth interview. Thanks for posting it.
ReplyDeleteStewart is almost like a magician. He takes someone who feels despised, puts him on national television, debates with him, uses humor and just enough dollops of acceptance and understanding and besides making finely honed and intelligent points, actually seems to change the person's mind on some deep level, then rewards the guy with the audience clapping. I learn so much just from watching him in action. Notice how when he has to talk over the guest, he sort of sits up and tilts his head back. He's not taller, but his "stature" and moral dominance seems to literally manifest through his body language.
ReplyDeleteThanks Gryph for posting this as I don't get cable and would probably miss these interviews otherwise.
gryphen OT, but what the HELL do you make of this?
ReplyDeletefrom Eli Roth, the horror director, (in an interview with MTV movies,) he gave some details on his Nazi propaganda "film-within-a-film" for Tarantino's Inglorious Basterds:
""I'm going to, like, resurrect the Nazi party, they are going to make me their Sarah Palin."
does this mean she's a party public sacrifice to a greater ideology? a charismatic "new hitler"? a "last-of-the-old-guard" failed candidate? a "torch" of fresh fundamentalist light? it means something.
who the fuck knows, but it's interesting that the culture of "palinistas" has become enough of a pop-cultural catch phrase that a random hollywood guy could give such an answer in an interview -and assume his reference would be understood....

@Luna, it means:
ReplyDelete"I, too, will become a poster child for extremists but will have no real power." Roth is making a propaganda film for use WITHIN a Tarantino film...therefore, Roth's saying stupid wingnuts will mistake him for a racist hate-monger.
It is a different category than what you have listed in your choices. It is more like: "fake candidate" who some will mistake for having meaning.
anon-
ReplyDeleteagreed. but do you really think that the "stupid wingnuts" were mistaken in thinking palin is one of their own?
your analysis only works if teamSP and C4SP et. al have mistakenly thought she shares their views, when she was just telling a fictional story. i don't think SP has been "acting" her part for art's sake. i think she means it.
I'm Anon @ 6:00 am.
ReplyDelete@luna, no. I don't think Palin means anything she says. Look at her actions versus her words. When does she ever follow through? It's all empty rhetoric.
Palin says she is pro-Life, yet she appoints a pro-Choice judge and does not follow through to hustle votes for her "pro-Life" legislation for teenaged girls in AK this year (as reported on this blog).
Palin says she is working for Alaska, but in reality in the last days of the legislative session, she was in Indiana, and can't even be bothered to work as a governor at key times.
Palin says she is anti-corruption, yet she has huge ethics violations.
She says she is pro-abstinence & Christian, yet allows Levi to live in the Palin household with teenaged Bristol, condones an out-of-wedlock pregnancy, and says nothing to counteract Bristol's public rejection of "abstinence" on FOX.
I could go on; these are all just off the top of my head. (See Palingates and this blog for more of Palin's hypocrisy in action!)
You don't think Palin is "acting"? That is ALL she is doing. She is a fake. She is not leading. She is not working for Alaska. She does not stand up for principles but she is good at pretending, and then lashing out if someone points out that she does nothing.
Pllenty of others in the entertainment industry think Palin is a big fake...an "entertainer for the base," not a real politician.
