Jon Stewart takes on the teabaggers in this clip from the Daily Show. Just so you know where we stand, we believe health care should be a right and not a luxury. Call us liberal, but we don't think people should die because they lack money.

COUNTERPOINT:

Of course, there's another side to the story, and here are a couple "teabaggers" to present their perspective:

Selfishness is always a selling point for morons--that is, until they get some debilitating disease that threatens their meager savings, and then they'll be first in line for Medicare, Medicaid, all that "socialist" jazz they're crying about. Talk is cheap. Empathy might be too much to ask, but give this guy an impacted wisdom tooth and he'd probably join the fricking Red Army for some Novocaine.

This guy is scary. I don't know where to begin with his idiotic sign. Is it racist, antisemitic, historically ignorant--or all of the above? They used to call these types "The Lunatic Fringe." They come out of their caves every so often to fight against integration, against fluoridation, against the abolition of slavery, against witches. Their world is changing and it scares them shitless. We've always had frightened, selfish people dragging their heals as humanity strives for progress and enlightenment, only now they have their own TV shows.

SARAH PALIN and REPUBLICAN HYPOCRISY

Karl Rove and the Republicans really care about women, to hear them tell it. Ask Sarah Palin. In fact, they're downright feminists--when it's convenient, that is. For a group that stresses "values" every chance they get, these "ethics" seem pretty situational. Bullshit, in other words.

Have you ever walked in a cow pasture? Then you already know the smell, so you'll be ready when the Republicans tell you it's chocolate ice cream.

In this clip, funny man Jon Stewart holds their feet to the fire.

Political fantasy: propaganda guru Karl Rove gets what he deserves in a just world

For a real, old school, dyed-in-the-wool feminist perspective, Gloria Steinem wrote a great piece on Sarah Palin in the Los Angeles Times, "Palin: Wrong Woman, Wrong Message." You can read it HERE.
