They really shot themselves in the foot with this one.

See, no one knew who Jeremiah Wright, or Shirley Sherrod was, or what ACORN did before the right went full on destroy mode. With Common and Jill Scott, they are well known. They have hundreds of thousands of fans. It’s obvious to anyone who’s plugged into pop culture even a little bit that these people aren’t radical cop-killing black panthers.

I love Jon Stewart as much as I hate Sarah Palin.

Come on

As to the clip — I wish they had shown him do his rap it was pretty funny, that whole commentary was probably one of my all time favorites.

I wish more people would watch stuff like this to get some context in their lives beyond just watching Hannity every night. Ah well.

Not to get too deeply into my personal life on LGF, but believe me, you can agree with that and not be anti-choice. An abortion is not something I’d wish on any women, from what I’ve seen it can be one of the hardest things for someone to go through. Doesn’t always mean its not the right choice tho.

I’d love for nothing more than to live in a pro-choice world with 0 abortions.

re: #15 Walter L. Newton

Seems he’s pretty much saying that he regrets not having taken the chance to be a parent, instead wasting his time smoking dope.

I didn’t see him calling for the right to a safe abortion to be taken away, but maybe you can go further than my admittedly simple textual analysis?

re: #9 APox

The best part was when he showed Hannity calling white supremacist Ted Nugent a “friend of the show” and completely excusing his death threats against Obama and H. Clinton - thus exposing Hannity, once again, as a hypocritical pile of festering feces.

You don’t have to be anti-abortion to be pro-life. I never even used the term anti-abortion. But, go ahead, speak for Common like you speak for me.

John McCain: Abusive interrogation didn’t yield trail to Osama bin Laden

McCain, the top Republican on the Senate Armed Services Committee, said he asked Panetta “for the facts. And I received the following information:

“The trail to Bin Laden did not begin with a disclosure from Khalid Shaikh Mohammed, who was waterboarded 183 times. We did not first learn from Khalid Shaikh Mohammed the real name of Bin Laden’s courier, or his alias, Abu Ahmed al-Kuwaiti – the man who ultimately enabled us to find Bin Laden. The first mention of the name Abu Ahmed al-Kuwaiti, as well as a description of him as an important member of Al Qaeda, came from a detainee held in another country.”

McCain added: “We did not learn Abu Ahmed’s real name or alias as a result of waterboarding or any ‘enhanced interrogation technique’ used on a detainee in U.S. custody. None of the three detainees who were waterboarded provided Abu Ahmed’s real name, his whereabouts, or an accurate description of his role in Al Qaeda.”

The senator continued: “In fact, not only did the use of ‘enhanced interrogation techniques’ on Khalid Shaikh Mohammed not provide us with key leads on Bin Laden’s courier, Abu Ahmed; it actually produced false and misleading information. Khalid Shaikh Mohammed specifically told his interrogators that Abu Ahmed had moved to Peshawar, got married, and ceased his role as an Al Qaeda facilitator – which was not true, as we now know. All we learned about Abu Ahmed al-Kuwaiti through the use of waterboarding and other ‘enhanced interrogation techniques’ against Khalid Shaikh Mohammed was the confirmation of the already known fact that the courier existed and used an alias.

The staff of the Senate Intelligence Committee told McCain, the senator said, “that, in fact, the best intelligence gained from a CIA detainee – information describing Abu Ahmed al-Kuwaiti’s real role in Al Qaeda and his true relationship to Osama bin Laden – was obtained through standard, noncoercive means, not through any ‘enhanced interrogation technique.’

“In short, it was not torture or cruel, inhuman, and degrading treatment of detainees that got us the major leads that ultimately enabled our intelligence community to find Osama bin Laden.”

re: #17 McSpiff

I know what you’re saying and I think it’s a reasonable position.

That being said, part of the reason that abortion is a difficult thing for people to go through with is precisely because of social opprobrium. I personally have absolutely no problem with early-pregnancy abortion. I think it’s a necessary and entirely reasonable component of a holistic approach to family planning that includes sex education and easy access to contraception.

In other words, everything that the GOP is apparently opposed to.

Well, you can use the word however you like, but it does have meaning.

Definitions of pro-life on the Web:

advocating full legal protection of embryos and fetuses (especially opposing the legalization of induced abortions)
wordnetweb.princeton.edu/perl/webwn

The pro-life movement is a political and social movement focused chiefly around opposition to abortion, and support for the legal banning of elective abortion. Those involved in the movement generally maintain that human fetuses and embryos are persons, and therefore have a right to life. …

Well, not in so many words, but still…

This punk has been shoving it in the face of decent Americans for over two years now. He smirks. He looks down his nose. He dismisses.

He thinks (and so far has been proven right) that a combination of good speaking skills, white guilt, black and Hispanic pay-offs and The Race Card will keep his poll numbers up.

So the gauntlet has been thrown down: “MY people will keep me in office, and F*CK the rest of you.”

…and if there is any doubt that (a) His Holiness and the First Bitch could give a crap about most Americans, check out their response to inviting a white-hating, assassination-promoting black rapper to the White House for a “poetry” event.

“Obama administration defends first lady’s decision to invite rapper Common to White House poetry event, saying that while Obama may not agree with all his lyrics, the president appreciates his efforts to get children into poetry.”

The guy called for Bush to be killed. He hates whites. He calls women “ho’s”.

You gonna let this racist creep Obama and his anti-white-American wife stay in the White House and look down their noses at YOU?

SERIOUSLY?

It’s less of a generation gap and more of a cultural one. Hannity’s not that old. He’s not even 50, which means he’s young enough to have grown up around rap and hip hop as it grew and developed. He just chose not to understand it, or even give it a chance.

Well, abortion is one of those topics I generally avoid posting on because my views on it are entirely based on the experiences I’ve had in my life, not any sort of well reasoned opinions or research. I really don’t know what impact abortion has on the average women, how much of that impact is due to social factors, to what degree counseling helps, etc. My opinion is that it should always be a last resort type of thing. But thats merely my opinion, subject to change without notice, etc

The gap I’m talking about starts around 35ish. It was around when he was young but it didn’t permeate every day life.

Some sites were crowing over the rumors that “harsh interrogation” allegedly produced results in locating bin Laden. You read between the lines, and it was like they were advocating or even anticipating the use of torture 24-7.

I’m really lost over the idea that torture seems to be a good thing.
