  • And if the show flops, he can just blame it on Alex, and change the rules late at night. Easy choice!

  • Robert I think that would be a good job for you! I would love to see you on a TV show. If you don't get to host Jeopardy maybe try for a spot on South Park or the Simpson's. After all you are funny and have a great sense of humor lol!

  • Lighten up Lamont, and read Robert's bio. Nothing serious here, just entertainment.

    P.S. It's Friday!!

  • It's hard to forget what Joe Wilson and Jan Brewer did. I don't ever recall a president being treated like that ever! Shame on them and to think our children learn from this kind of behavior.

    Maher seems to be at odds with some ultra liberal ideologies these days. Could he be moving toward the right?

    For Bill Maher to voice his dismay over "nanny state" laws, especially those proposed and ramrodded by Bloomberg was just sort of amusing. Leaping lizards, what's next?

    And by the way, Patrick, i KNOW he was joking about joining the Tea Party, but I truly doubt that he was anused by the mayor's interventional intrusions.

  • THERE you go again people spoke up right here about what they thought was inappropriate comments by people in the media are you so one sided that you don't remember those things or is it easier just to keep on throwing those accusations out there because that is what you want.BELIEVE IT OR NOT MOST OF US DONT WATCH THE VIEW OR BILL MAHAR FOR THAT MATTER THEY ARE NOT RELEVENT POLITICALLY.CAIN,i stated he was not what he appeared to be I did not pull any punches about it and never used the word tom,I stated that west was dishonest and over the top,because he was forced to retire because he dis obeyed orders,again I DID NOT CALL HIM A TOM.wHO IS CARSON??The only reason you don't see the racial overtones to the insults is because you don't want to,it keeps everybody's conscience clear.IT's like you keep bringing up nthe shoe thrown at BUSH BUT YOU LEAVE OUT THAT IT WAS A FORIGIEN JOURNALIST ON FORGIEN SOIL there IS A BIG DIFFERENCE BETWEE THAT AND HAVING HAPPEN BY YOUR OWN SUCH AS"you lie" during a state of the union.Which sent a message to the black community that they cant even respect a president if he's black and it set the tone for bad feelings across the board which I might add are still there.

    There is plenty to lean on you just don't want to see it........how do you feel about cancer patients being turned away?? try that on for starters now we are getting to the nitty gritty and I don't see one of them up there seeming to give a darn. There still collecting there paychecks and smiling at us suckers as they walk around the capital they make me sick.........later

  • JYD......I have confronted the bogeyman,and have been called names to my face that I am sure you would disbelieve,but that's ok I know because it has happened to me .SO don't direct something at me that you don't know wether I have confronted or not.Believe me I am older than you and the things that have happened to me may not happen as frequently today but they havn't stoped.

    Clowns like Mathews ,interesting choice of words what do you call RUSH AND HANITTY???WHAT I don't hear is the personal pointed insults that come from some folks on the air.ZOOK YOU JUST CAME OFF LIKE WE CANT WIN ,IF WE WATCH THE GARBAGE WE GO ALONG WITH IT, IF WE DONT WE LET THE CLOWNS FILL US IN. SO WE ARE DAMNED IF WE DO AND DAMNED IF WE DONT.WHICH WAY DO YOU WANT IT???

    LAST but not least if you don't watch those shows which you claim not to,which clown is filling you in????????

    Don't worry, Free Thinker. If Patrick disagrees with your comment, especially if it is based on personal beliefs, he will generally supply a source that is "more accurate". That is unless he chooses to just explain the error of your conservativism.

    -- Posted by wh67 on Sat, Apr 6, 2013, at 9:36 PM
  • HELLO......A YOU TRYING TO TELL ME THAT HANNITTY AND RUSH DONT TWIST SENTENCES TO SUIT THEMSELVES?? you HAVE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME.HANNITY CUTS OF MORE SENTENCES THAN ANYONE AND SEVERAL INDEPENDENT WATCHDOGS HAVE CHASTISED HIM FOR IT. Come on man, get real, don't try to set yourselves apart they all, both sides do the same thing to what greater or lesser degree is the issue.

    YOU JUST TWISTED MY we cant win comment , it was in reference to the media and you made it to be about the country ,what do you call that??

    So your denergration of compromisers says it all, what you want is MY WAY OR THE HIWAY I don't understand why you just cant say that.You don't want to live in harmony you want to dictate how I should live and what I should do etc with no consideration of my thoughts feelings etc.IF you didn't believe that then compromise would be the name of the game .ANYHOW I HAVE HAD ENOUGH OF THIS BLOG AS IT SITS RIGHT NOW JUST TALKING TO THE WALL.the only thing that counts is the process you could care less about people..........later

  • It's all about race isn't it? It doesn' matter what the royal family does wrong. Anyone who disagrees might as well be burning crosses. How convienient.

  • Ya Thinker its only the Republican Conservatives who have been attacked day after day. You just keep free thinking!

  • I think Obama would make a great Jeopardy host. He is smart enough to win the office of President twice. That's a pretty rare accomplishment.

    As far as being mean and nasty to others because of their politics? Oh, I certainly am so sorry for being mean to you bazookaman and MHresident. Accept my apology, please.

    There is a big difference in the way democrats and or liberals are wired compared to Tea Party (see I'm being nice) extremists. One group is relatively happy with life and where this country is heading. The other group seems to want to make up enemies, and see the bad man all around them. This unhappy group is mad, angry and most continue to froth at the mouth if a democrat has gas.

    Just like at work and in social situations, no one wants to associate with or be around the grouchy old guys who complain and whine about every ache, pain and change in the world. What makes matters worse is the constant stream of untruths the Tea Party spreads. Sometimes you cannot fix what is broken. Other times it's best to let the Tea Party look and play their favorite roll of circus clowns.

    My posts will be very limited here. I understand the Mt Home News has an obligation to moderate posts so as to not offend their core Tea Party fans. I hate wasting time typing a post only for it to be deleted. This doesn't mean I won't be reading, copying and pasting the best of the crazy best from the Mt Home Tea Party to my other more democratic type forums.

    See ya's at marching practice boys.

  • Welcome back Free Thinker I like your new name

    -- Posted by MsMarylin on Sun, Apr 7, 2013, at 12:03 PM
  • FREE THINKER....please get the facts right if you are going to jump in. The GOP has had the house for the last cycle nothing has changed some of the extreme people got voted in and out in that 2 yr cycle.The dems have won nothing,if the country cant move forward.The president does not control the economy and it would behove people to understand that.He can suggest and attempt to put policy's in place to influence but he doesn't control it.With that said maybe just maybe if he got some help from the GOP and a little less were going to hammer him at all cost, we might get something done. just maybe.

    SIXGUN let me give you and example of garbage......the right comes out with this family is spending more money than any family in the white house ,when checked this family has and is spending no more or less than any other but after we make a false accussation we don't recant, it we let it hang out there.WHY??Some trips that the 1st lady and the children have taken have been paid for by the president at least the parts that he can pay for,that is never mentioned and for your information RICH BLACK FOLKS DO THE SAME GARBAGE RICH WHITE FOLKS DO there is no difference. The problem being we are not featured on the rich and famous so you don't get to see it.

    EXAMPLE OF STEROTYPES.......I LIKE TO SAIL...yes boats,I have 3, you have no idea how many times I get looked at like something out of this world about it,I can remember and it still happens when my wife and I would go camping it was like WE didn't know YOU people like to camp.I wonder how you would feel if that sort of thing was happening to you???MAYBE if some folks would look at them as and AMERICAN couple instead of a black AMERICAN couple we might could get pass this crap.Contrary to the TV we are the same.ESPECIALLY when our social economic status is the same.Money does dictate how you play.

    LAST.....did you call the BUSH'S the royal family if not ,why not?? Because if your didn't your deffernce to calling this family the royal family shows a certain amount of resentment.stat for you .......only 26% OF BLACKS LIVE IN POVERTY SO THE REST ARE JUST LIKE YOU AND I.QUITE believing the TV and look for yourself or better still ask.

    FREE THINKER.......I would like to know what you would have done if the economy collapsed under you??????? we ARE LUCKY WE DIDNT HAVE ANOTHER 1929 OR WAS THAT WHAT YOU WANTED??? Different world today different recovery .YOUR a free thinker then look at the whole picture,he kept the wheels on, it could have been a lot worst and everyone with sense admits that........later

  • Sara don't drop off. Your posts have been very enlightening. You are right that Mountain News is less likely to delete bazookaman's long and funny exchanges than other people, however they have been trying to get rid of Buckshot61 for awhile. Unfortunately he keeps coming back, maybe pretending to be a free thinker this time.

    -- Posted by Podkaine on Sun, Apr 7, 2013, at 8:34 PM
  • Lamont, you made some valid points. For the record, yes the Bush family is a great example of of a political dynasty. They are as close to royalty as the Kennedys and Rockefellers. I was never a fan of the Bush regime. Also, one would have to be an idiot to presume that racism isn't alive and well today. However, throwing that card down everytime one disagrees with the Pres is just as presumptive. It is sick and merely perpetuates more racism. Tired of hearing it.

  • FREE THINKER.......nobody is angry about how you feel or what you think.I for one want you to know that I will not be intimidated by the ultra right wing rhetoric.I made this my home for a reason and most of us did, we too have some conservative values otherwise we wouldn't be here,but that doesn't mean we are going to be led around by the nose. Every value a conservative has we are not going to embrace.There may be more conservatives here than in most places but do not exaggerate how they feel.They all don't feel like ZOOK and if you don't believe that you don't know the state.I have been here since 1972 and I find most here are fair minded and thoughtfull caring people,there are jerks everywhere,to include this blog.As far as spitfull is concerned I think you should read who starts the name calling before you start labeling people.

    SIXGUN.....the race card maybe used by the media when there is a disagreement,it may be old to you but if you look logicaly at the why's and the how's sometimes it's hard to come up with any other reason.That goes from the sport he likes to his dress to how he carry's himself.When you get comments like.....he doesn't talk like he's black.......the question should be what does a black man talk like. I MENTION THIS ONE BECAUSE I get it all the time.I get tired of the racial issue also but I am not going to turn a deaf ear to it or make belief it is not happening.YOU can if you want that is your prerogative.IF anyone gets racist with me I will let them know like right now,I WORE A UNIFORM FOR 28 YRS NOT TO DEAL WITH THAT AND I will be darned if I WILL JUST SAY that is the way it is.I FEEL OK WITH THAT BECAUSE WHEN my FRIENDS WHO ARE WHITE AND LIVE IN THE SOUTH TALK ABOUT THE RACISM THAT IS PART OF THIS PRESIDENCY AS A NEGATIVE ,I KNOW I AM NOT WRONG.

    FOR the record I agree it perpetuates,however don't do racist things ,to include the suttle comments.
