Well played.

Know what I also love? When a troll doesn’t understand grammar: https://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/621/01/

Apostrophes have a “____ is” context, genius. And I leave you with that lesson, because if you’re down to that, continuing to own you will become sad. And I’d like to remember you as being funny.

Anonymous, was that clip from the failed comedy attempt that Fox News tried a few years ago to have its own Daily Show that was called I believe, The Half Hour Comedy Hour?

I know like most things we can have different taste but what that clip showed me was if you enjoy a grouchy complainer then Miller would be to your liking. I’m sure they find him hilarious in the Cheney household.

troll is. not “troll’s”

oops:

LOL, d d

doors, this one’s for you.

LOL, d d

doors, this one’s for you.

Having how your views are misguided and partisan explained to you is like being cuffed and hobbled? And did I miss something with the Columbia University reference?

Though I did get a laugh out of the “drivel is drivel” comment immediately following it. I love it when a troll’s self-aware.

I wish the right could find a real comedian. Miller’s entire act is about as funny as the fact that Michele Bachmann is a sitting member of the House Select Committee on Intelligence.

Throwing in a cheap shot at Columbia University, eh? That’s sooo BOR/Jesse Watters. LOL!

This website is like being handcuffed and hobbled in a Columbia University lecture hall.

Arial: Drivel is drivel no matter how conspicuously long winded it is.

Human beings are human beings. They say what they want, don’t they? They used to say it across the fence while they were hanging wash. Now they just say it on the Internet.
Dennis Miller

When you claim the ugly words you hurl at people is humor, you better think again .

BOR sees Miller as his personal counterpunch to the spot-on comedic analysis of Stewart and Colbert. Bwaaah! Epic fail, BOR, epic fail.

“I’m sure that any gypsies out there took it well.”

You are aware that just the term “Gypsy” in itself is a term used to slur Romani people as criminals- more specifically as a people so prone to crime that they live in wagons so they’re ready to run- and has been used for centuries to oppress them, to the point that people are afraid to claim Rroma as their heritage- Even in America. Right, Anonymous?

How about you go tell a Rroma immigrant who was in Europe during the 1940s, and had it tattooed to their body, around people ordered to persecute them if they saw it if they laughed at Fox News making jokes where the punchline is that they’re such despicable people hat they’re the go-to reference for their demonization of Clinton?

How about asking a Rroma who lived in a country where Stalin used those comments as propaganda to run them out what they think about a media outlet making jokes about them being scummy enough to shyster the handicapped?

How about you go tell that to a Rroma immigrant who lived (or even visited) on the wrong side of the Berlin Wall, and was denied basic human rights, for no other reason than their ancestry until it was torn down?

Hell, even among Rroma who lived in the US their entire life, and still faced persecution because Gypsies are so stereotyped as unwashed, hyper-religious thieves in American penned literature and pop culture that many of them were taught to lie about their old world heritage, just to be spared that?

Yeah, how about you go repeat that line to a “Gypsy…” Tell me how it goes.

Oh, but you did, Anonymous, you did.

Aria: Well, I’m not going to stoop to calling anyone an asshole here, but I have a few points to make:
1) I didn’t inquire about Bashir and Shultz (sic). I know all I need to know about them.
2) O’Reilly is only human. He couldn’t help laughing at that analogy. I’m sure that any gypsies out there took it well.
3) Bill deserves every joke ever made about him.
4) Hillary? We’ll see.

Same thing actually happened with Ron Silver after 9/11. It was as if he became a completely different person.

I can see how someone’s outlook on some things could change after 9/11 – but I can’t understand how 9/11 could turn you into a total wing nut. How does someone end up thinking liberals were responsible for 9/11? Oh wait, I forgot, we’re not dealing with the reality-based community here.

I don’t take Miller at his word. He was already leaning in that direction before 9/11. The attacks just tipped him over the edge. During the 90s, Miller was increasingly turning libertarian and right wing, including saying some things in his stand-up at that time to demonstrate it. I remember around 93 or 94, Miller went off about how Admiral Stockdale had been treated as a POW, and it was startling to hear Miller going down that road. As the 90s went on, Miller’s patented “rants” tended to go more and more to the right.

Yeah, but Bob, that doesn’t explain much. After all, who was President when 9/11 happened? And whose policies were in charge of both the House and Senate which 9/11 happened? The same “conservative policies” that Miller seems to believe “could prevent another one” were in effect WHEN 9/11 happened. (The only real difference is that after 9/11, the “conservative” President actually paid attention instead of ignoring things like he did just a month before the attacks.)

Hey guys, if you take Miller at his word, he has said that his outlook changed on 9/11. That’s when he became a bitter right-winger and is nothing like the comedian he was on SNL and HBO. It seems he believed that liberals were responsible for 9/11, and that only conservative policies could prevent another one.

Anonymous: Attempting to troll, one line at a time. And to answer your inquiry about Bashir and Shultz: Every comedian and commentator has points where they cross the line. Bashir, Maher, Olbermann, Loesch, Morgan… On the comedy end, Stewart has had segments where his joke went too far, so have Colbert, Maher, Garafolo, Black, Oliver, and even Franken when he was still a comedian/host. The difference here is three-fold:

1) All of them know where the line is, and crossing it in a capacity that requires a serious on-air apology is rare. ’Nuff said there…

2) When they cross the line, the left condemns them alongside the right. You never hear the left saying something like “Bill Maher doesn’t have to apologize because Steven Crowder didn’t!”, the closest you get to that is a partisan comment like “Well, Maher apologized on his site, but not his show… Still more than we’ll ever see from Crowder.” Even here on Newshounds, you’ll see us agreeing that what the guy on the left did was out of line, before pointing out what #3 says…

3) They actually do give apologies and retractions without epic campaigns forcing it. Their outlets discipline them because it’s the right thing to do, not because they let it happen enough to result in boycotts. They fire regular offenders. They make it known that the one who’s doing it stands alone. The right can’t do that… It’s always a sob story/excuse why they shouldn’t, you have to threaten their bottom line to get any decency out of them. Decency which only lasts until they think we’ve forgotten, BTW.

That’s the difference between the two, Anonymous. I know the reality starved Republicans would like to pretend otherwise, but 95% of the common decency is on the left side of the table, and we acknowledge what little decency you show, as well as condemn what little trash turns up. The same can’t be said for you- If the good guys flip sides, like they did in the 60s, You’ll still be the same asshole conservatives, just that we’ll be calling you all your own nice little pet names for Democrats now. If the Republicans kick your element out and it third parties the Tea baggers, you’ll be the darkest third.

It’s not about politics, it’s about humanity. Learn that, and come back. Or don’t, and have a nice time living with it.

Are gypsies a protected class? Just checking.

That’s a great joke. Thanks for sharing.

Is Jon Stewart a comic?

At least Martin Bashir and Ed Schultz know where to draw the line.

Only Bill knows how many.

Just like Comedy Central.

Aria,
He became friends with Bill O. I agree with your insights here.

The HBO era Dennis Miller would have slapped the mouth off the Fox era Dennis Miller for that. And the SNL era Dennis Miller would have suggested using the ring hand.

Seriously, I’ve seen clips of Miller from other eras, and whether you liked his actual show then or not, he at least knew where the line was, and was on the right side of the issue a lot more than he was on the wrong one. This Dennis Miller is just an LCD clown that thinks this kind of talk is acceptable. What the hell happened to him?!

Junior O’Reilly getting some work in with Dennis, keeping his Hillary Hate sharp. Junior wants to be the Fox go to guy for Misogyny in the 2016 Presidential Race.
