    The point is, when a minority, woman, or handicapped person is conservative, he gets no special treatment, in fact, he/she might be treated worse by liberals and mocked.

    For example, look at the liberals' sexist and misogynistic attacks on Sarah Palin, which were totally over the top. She was attacked because her daughter had a baby out of wedlock, which would never be done to a man. She was also attacked for having a handicapped child and not aborting him, which would never be done to a man.

    And liberal commentators are quite often calling conservative women (*)(*)(*)(*)(*)es and sluts, without any sort of consequences.

    And the new black Senator of South Carolina was called a "token" by the liberal New York Times, again without consequences.

    Proving that liberals are the real racists, sexists and homophobes (yes conservative gays also get the treatment).

    Some may fixate upon Charlie's physical limitations or his frequent aberrant political prognostications (as I have done myself in posting here a Fox classic, his wacky prediction of an imminent Willard presidential victory when no informed person was conceiving of such a thing,) but anyone who casts him as a dyed-in-the-wool, dogmatic rightist does him a serious disservice.

    He was a cheerleader for the Bush's invasion of Iraq, yet accurately characterized that trillion-dollar nation-building caprice, noting that "reformation and reconstruction of an alien culture are a daunting task. Risky and, yes, arrogant." - and this on the eve of Bush's attack, when most conservatives were still actually swallowing the "DubyaMD Stockpiles" mularkey.

    Krauthammer is a supporter of legalized abortion; an opponent of the death penalty; an intelligent design critic and an advocate for the scientific consensus on evolution. [He has also dismissed the ironically-dubbed intelligent design as "tarted-up creationism" and a "phony theory".] He is a supporter of embryonic stem cell research using embryos discarded by fertility clinics with restrictions in its applications; and a longtime advocate of radically higher energy taxes to induce conservation.

    You are spinning like the HADRON particle accelerator here, but to take a single item, if this had actually happened, it would be egregious.

    Do you actually have any such attributions to specific "liberals" or are you just making it up?

    Your specialty seems to be LIE-STACKING, which is so popular among cons these days.

    So you just made that up, attributed it to a "liberal", and hoped to get away with it?

    Slander is not nice!

    So, you are in such a tizzy because you cannot refute my accurate assessment:

    "Roger Ailes puts Chuckles on public display so that folks can be entertained as long as they stay on their side of the barrier and don't try feeding or teasing him."

    Yes, I posted the Fox video in which he spouted absolute claptrap, but I provided balance by noting that ...


    Max Cleland receiving plaudits for being a celebrated war hero and elected office holder is a disparate matter, of course. Politicians endorse candidate all the time, and there is no reason for you to single him out to serve your agenda.

    Tim Scott got special treatment just so Republicans could say, "Look, we have a black Senator!" Conservatives also treat women the same way liberal pundits do. Are you forgetting the Rush Limbaugh-Sandra Fluke incident?

    I've seen that guy several times on Fox News and I was unaware of that. In retrospect, his labored breathing was reminiscent of Christopher Reeve, however, kudos to him for not crying victim.

    The nation has clearly progressed since the days of FDR, and his paralysis is common knowledge, but most don't make an issue of it. This thread is the exception.

    Far less publicized is his support for legalized abortion, opposition to the death penalty, embrace of biological evolution and rejection of so-called "intelligent" design as "tarted-up creationism", etc.

    Charlie is certainly not the hidebound doctrinaire rightist that some would pretend.

    Pundits have the luxury of pontificating without concern for reality-based ramifications.

    As one of Roger Ailes' entrenched sabbath gasbags, Charlie is free to expound on his imaginary fancies without the responsibilities that accrue for those whose decisions have consequences.

    His daffy prognostications concerning a Willard presidential victory when every rational analyst knew otherwise is indicative of his fictive disposition. For all its gross inaccuracy, it certainly had the appeal of novelty and was, ultimately, a bit of harmless buffoonery. He really is a colleague of Homer Simpson as far as Rupert's agenda is concerned.

    Like the "colour man" in televised games or the quirky sports columnist, entertaining a sufficient audience with his musings from the sidelines is his proper role.

    He's a brilliant analyst. If he was an idiot, who would bother to even listen or comment on him or this. He's one of those commentators who has the ring of truth. Now if you want to talk about idiots, lets discuss Carl Rove or Dick Morris or Alan Colmes or Debbie Wasserman-Shultz. What an embarrassment those four are....

    No chuckles is an idiot, always has been. the pedophile rove isn't a commentor out side of uncle ruperts made up world, he is a scumbag lobbist.
    dick morris worte the book on being a moron, as did alan colmes and if it weren't for uncle rubert none of them would ever see the light of day.
    Debbie Wasserman-Shultz is not a commentator, she is a member of the US House of Representatives and head of the DNC.

    Suit yourself. Deb is a mouthpiece and propaganda purveyor for the DNC and is as shallow, wooden-headed, and vile as they come. Oh, and she's a proven liar too.

    Lol Hoosier, good one. How about hes an idiot because he contends that successful governments are best without government involvement despite the historical evidence in completely the opposite direction, or that he blames the current GOP infighting on a President from the opposing political party;

    http://www.mediaite.com/tv/krautham...created-an-internal-civil-war-within-the-gop/

    or how about when he gets owned on China;

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fRdgZLUhm5o

    or how about when he predicts a Romney win, including the popular vote.

    Game over friends.
