OT: Colbert Explains Hannity's "Liberty Tree" Video

Hannity, Limbaugh and Beck all have at least one thing in common - they are uneducated gasbags.

Not one of them has a degree beyond high school.

It's like the blond leading the blond.

Even my Kid and his friends think of Colbert as a joke. They love him and support all of his wierd causes because it is so funny to them, space station Colbert was a favorite.

Think you forgot to mention this woman that wrote the report made a appearance on PMSNBC Keith Olbermann's phony show. Geeee I wonder just how credible she really is? Most that show up are discredit right away.

Funny you should mention that; I don't believe he ever graduated from high school.

Ummm, the video was just Hannity's show in an unbroken segment. Nothing was taken out of context. How is that untruthful? If it will make you feel better, here's the same lame segment on Fox:

The founding fathers and colonial troops were terrorists. They hid behind trees instead of taking the bullet in the chest like a man...at least that was the opinion of the people loyal to the king.

You shouldn't be afraid to listen/read/watch opinions from the other side. That applies to everything in life, not just politics. It's the only way you learn and grow.

Why do you change the subject line to put your name in it? What purpose does that serve?

What does that have to do with anything? I work every day among people having the highest academic credentials and that hasn't stopped the vast majority of them from being blithering idiots with no common sense whatsoever. Not to take anything away from those who just happen to be educated AND smart, but beyond establishing (on paper) that a well-educated person has enough wherewithal to see a task through from start to completion, I'm not convinced there's any correlation between the two.

The subject line on MY post reads "Re: Colbert Explains Hannity's "Liberty Tree" Video" on my ATT-Yahoo newsreader. What does it read on yours?

And that proves Tom's point!

So, there is an inverse correlation between education level and intelligence?

Wha?

There certainly can be. 'Ever taken a course from the Education department of your university. It is almost inevitably the most foolish, useless, and anti-intellectual drivel you'll encounter - and they hand out Ph.Ds in this stuff. Then there's the entire horizon of Victim's Studies in various drag - again, deeply anti-intellectual.

Education does not equal knowledge nor does it equal wisdom, insight, thoughtfulness, discernment, or truth. This is all the more the case these days wherein the academy has been turned into a madrassah for

call it these days) shouldn't be there! The other 1/4 are there because they have no idea or were forced into it. The last 1/4 have a clue. I'm convinced that 2/3 have no common sense. I see and deal with these "Higher Educated" everyday, and sometimes I want to to the V8 thing and knock them in the head.

So, the M.D. is less useful to us when we are ill than the high school dropout who posseses 'common sense'?

Thank you for playing.

Uh oh. Gremlins! I think Google is fooking with the subject lines as displayed. This is what I see as the subject line on your post:

"Discussion subject changed to "Colbert Explains Hannity's "Liberty Tree" Video" by Steve Turner"

but the actual subject line doesn't have your name appended to it.

They're fixing something that isn't broken again....

Your numbers are off. It's the 80/20 rule and it's a normally distributed population.

Did you ever notice that everyone thinks that the majority of people are stupid but they never include themselves in that majority?
