Opinion of Samantha Bee

[Antonio the Sixth]

She's talented, but the brand of politics she's desperately pushing for is beyond awful.

[Antonio the Sixth]

I don't watch TV, but it's absurd that people like her are expected to be decent while virtually no one on the right is. FF.

...how about we expect everyone to be decent?

Uh,what the hell? I don't see how anyone left of center couldn't find her politics great, in step with Bernie and his movement actually.

LOL, you mean the movement that she relentlessly mocked during a campaign and still occasionally likes to blame for Hillary's loss?

Only talking about your economically liberal views sometimes is not "beyond awful".

What does this even mean?

Basically, she often talks about things that aren't economics, and I was guessing that antonio doesn't like her for "identity politics" or something.

If she is vulgar and hyperpartisan, so what?  She still isn't the left's equivalent of Fox News or Rush Limbaugh.  It's not that level of vitriol.  Not that the left shouldn't have that equivalent.

Especially now that the Republicans have a man in the White House who is overtly vulgar and vitriolic--and is determined to squash anyone who gets under his skin--the left needs people who are not afraid to mock and ridicule the lunatic and his enablers who causing the country and the world so much destruction.

I still haven't heard liberal comedians like Bee mock the small children of politicians who don't ask for attention.  Fox News and freerepublic, on the other hand, can go after the Obama kids, and Rush Limbaugh infamously called Chelsea Clinton "the White House dog".  Yet, in this thread, we have Democrats and left-leaning independents eager to criticize the "smugness" or whatever of left-of-center comedians.  Republicans, however, are not so inclined to call out the crudeness of people like Limbaugh.  Enough double standards.

"Both sides do it!"

You literally censor trumps name like a swear word, derogatorily talk about "yuppies" in a way that's isn't much different from the attitudes you criticize towards the working class, have claimed that libertarians all want the poor to die and suffer, implied Clinton didn't have a right to do anything but sit down and retire, etc. You have no right to whine about people not being nice.

If I were a public figure, that would be somewhat tactless behavior, yes. As it stands, I'm just some guy on the internet.

Niceness begins with ordinary people. Our politics are nasty because ordinary people are nasty to each other. The republicans refusal to be even remotely reasonable with Obama was what their voters wanted.

I did get a bit emotional last night, but I really can't stand this kind of hatred that seems to be more because she's different culturally or something then for concrete objections.

hahahaha wtf

Please never change.
