I must admit, the sheep part about blindly trusting talk show radio hosts might actually be true

Dunno where was the funny part?? Did I miss it? All I saw was standard political stereotypes and here I was expecting something funny and creative instead all I got same old bs...I feel so cheated.

Stereotypes are 99%, you know. It's just that little 1% that :wub: about from here to timbuktoo.

"And the people who say the Republican party is far right and the Democratic party is just moderate are completely rediculous. I mean, our president is called a Nazi regularly. That's just rediculous."

It's not what you say you are but it's what you do that matters, and defines who you are and where you belong.
You guys probably do not have a major left wing party to compare and contrast properly.

Take Republican party for example: their aggressive foreign policies, nationalism (patriotic act???), welfare and economy policies, their opinion regarding controversial issues such as abortion and religion.

Nazi party itself was... quite interesting. They certainly had quite good number of leftist policies. They are actually called National Socialist German Workers Party (Nationalsozialistische Deutsche Arbeiterpartei - sounds plenty like leftist party to me and I am a leftist) and had good amount of socialist policy.
They oppressed leftists (communists) certainly not because their ideology conflicted with that of Nazi party.

The Bush is a Nazi saying is not based in any fact, it's just a hate mongering tactic aimed at the other party, and one that is definately insane.

I understand what you're saying, but there are definately some VERY left wing people in America. ACLU is a good organization to look at. George Soros is a man to look at. I guess I am speaking in terms of America, since I am not that into current politics in foreign countries, but if your total left wing is Communist, then we definately have some of that type of thing here.

Hilarious and depressing at the same time...

It is funny, and despite what danzig says many parts are true.

Shrug I didnt say it wasnt true it is just using stereotypes of *some* republicans, you can go off and create a video showing democrats in the exact same manner in 5 minutes. Honestly I dont care what I cared more about is it wasnt really funny, it was just as I said a rehash of same crap always thrown out at republicans as if all republicans fit strictly defined molds well they dont. If it was creative or original Id laugh at it but it wasnt I may as well create a cartoon that says all democrats are tax and spend loonies who are all gay and hate god..would you find that funny and original? Im guessing no

I agree, it's hard to dimiss all of it as simple political streotypes. Especially when you've seen that kind of behaviour from various republicans in reality.

More drivel from the left.

Nothing, it's EXACTLY the same hat Bush wears in the cartoon.

Being a moderate, There were parts I thought were funny, some of it was true, yes, but I have heard all of it 100x before.
I also thought it was funny when democrats have to throw away their drugs, body peircing, tofu, sandals, porno, etc. The stereotyping in that cartoon goes both ways

**Pra** · October 20, 2005, 10:27 AM

I suppose that being in a certain frame of mind makes it funny.

Not very funny, but not irritating either.

**Eird-Way** · October 20, 2005, 10:49 AM

God, that was juvenile.

All you guys with your oh-so-clever "I hate Christians!" signatures and avatars need to realize that you are just embarrassing intelligent liberals.

It doesn't take an ounce of cleverness to mock the republican party.

Take all this angst and funnel it toward something constructive.
