Josie, may I suggest that before you hold up the wisdom of Janeane Garafolo -- Jeannine, 05:40:44 09/18/08 Thu [1]
you look at her history - and the rest of the clip. About one minute in she says that Democrats are nicer than Republicans. I know that is your point. What about the part, later in the clip, where she says it would be great to put all Republicans should be in jail? That is wisdom? NO.
She, along with Maher, are part of EXACTLY what I was talking about. Oh so smart, oh so smug and oh so above us dumb republicans. Using her words to chastise conservatives is about as effect as if I posted a clip of Rush Limbaugh chastising the left.
There is a long history on this board. Sometimes emotions run high - that is the reason we have this board, to keep it off the main board. People get angry and post how they feel. If you don't parse what is said, you will also see people explain what they meant, calm down, and get back to the point they wanted to make.

First of all, it was VERY obvious that her crack about putting Republicans in jail was a JOKE. She's not only an occasional panelist on this show, but remember, she started as a stand-up comedienne.
I also said it ALMOST made me want to believe that. The love of my life is a full-blown Republican. He is a gentle soul who has never chastised my manners or condescended to me, nor I to him. No matter what happens in the election, he is who I am growing old with. There's a difference between a reasonable discussion, which, Jeannine, you and I have enjoyed a number of (and I hope to continue to!), and a passive-aggressive display of disrespect as I have seen.
