Conservative thread: We're still smiling!

[Tasmen]

The word "hope" was taken from the land of the good, and is now used for dark purposes. We will pray it returns, but for now, we must assume she is lost to the dark side.

 

[Tink & Goofy]

The dark side has cookies, don't they? I thought we were considered the dark side.

 

[Charade]

Hey guys, staunch Lib here, but I hope you dont mind if I come over here and ask a questions.

What do you think of the new Hannity show on Fox? (Without Colmes)


I am a news hound, and jump all over the spectrum. I actually watch a lot of Fox. I liked the new show, Hannity can handle his own show, but I hated the set! It was just a huge distraction.


What did you guys think?

I didn't even watch when Colmes was on. I might check it out. Maybe.

 

[Grog]

IMO, they'd really have to twist it in order to be taken that way. If anyone does, that means they are a weeeeeee bit sensitive.

You mean like a lib?

I kind of liked Hannity and Colmes. My Dad watched it all the time, so I'm sure he has an opinion. I honestly liked having different sides in one show, you really don't see it much. As much as I like Hannity though, I will admit when his radio show comes on, I usually switch to music at that point (on Sirius he's right after Andrew Wilcow.) I don't know if that's because I'm talk-radioed (is that a word? ) out at that point or if I just don't care to listen to him

You mean like a lib?

Good point. But I mean, you'd really have to twist it. And I'd like to think that just because someone is a lib that doesn't mean they've completely lost their common sense...maybe??

Well, obviously from my siggie I'm partial, but from what I've watched, I really like it. My hubby and I usually watch together, and he's away this week, so I DVRd the show, and we'll watch them when he gets home. I've only peeked a little bit here and there. I didn't take note of the set, but will be sure to do so.

I never liked Alan Colmes. While I like a good debate, his style drove me nuts. He always talked over the guests when he didn't like what they had to say, and gave inane rebuttals, in my opinion. I was glad to see him go.

If they were ever to partner Hannity back up again, I'd love to see Kristen Powers, a Dem political analyst. She filled in for Alan occasionally, and is on the pundit pit alot in the morning on Fox & Friends, on the lib side. She always gives intelligent and articulate views from the "other" side.

Salutations, greetings, and "hey there hi there ho there" my conservative friends!

It seems that I've been out of the DIS loop for a couple of weeks, but much has transpired...
- I had an absolutely phenomenal 4 days of learning and fun in Orlando, which I must find some time to explain some details about
- Dems hypocrisy level is now at "code orange" (Inauguration costs? Cabinet members employing illegals? What is this... W's third term!!?? )
- My beloved Carolina Panthers laid a giant egg
- I booked a family WDW vacation for May using the "buy 4/get 7" incentive. We'll be staying at POFQ, which I know zero about but I'm sure it'll be great.

I thought perhaps you were in mourning over the Panthers. I'm sorry. Glad you had a good experience at the conference though.

Great news about your May trip!

DO NOT INHALE WHILE INGESTING BEIGNETS!!! It's just not pretty.

If they bring it up- ignore it. They are just trying to yank our chains.

Believe it or not - I remember it has been done before here on this board. For example- someone started a thread on how saying 'BO' was rascist. Yes, the intials. Or was it 'BHO', crap I can't remember, there's been so many crazy chain yanking threads.

I mentioned 'the dark side' also once, and I felt the same way as Decorated Dust once I said it. After seeing the twisting of words here by some, I realized that EVERYTHING we say can be twisted for their enjoyment.

It gives them their jollies to see us squirm, and that's all it is.

My hubby and I usually watch together, and he's away this week, so I DVRd the show, and we'll watch them when he gets home. I've only peeked a little bit here and there.

I never liked Colmes either. I agree 100% on your assesment of him and his debate style.

Ewww and he reminded me of 'Skeletor'. That dude is butt ugly.

And I also agree that I like to hear from the 'other' side as well, contrary to popular belief of some. I would like to see Kirsten Powers as well. Even though I really want to smack her sometimes, I think it would make the show more interesting.




I really wanted to try and bake those BEIGNETS! They look so good!

Well, it looks like yet another of Obama's campaign themes has reached its expiration date... Remember the shtick he used against McCain about how O would "go to Bin Laden's cave" to get him. Weeeeelllll, not so much now. O's decided that confining him to his cave is good enough! I kid you not...

Barack Obama suggested last night that removing Osama bin Laden from the battlefield was no longer essential and that America's security goals could be achieved merely by keeping al-Qaeda "on the run".

"My preference obviously would be to capture or kill him," he said. "But if we have so tightened the noose that he's in a cave somewhere and can't even communicate with his operatives then we will meet our goal of protecting America."

His comments, in a CBS interview, represent a significant watering down of the "dead or alive" policy pursued by President Bush since the terror attacks of September 11, 2001. They also appear to contradict Mr Obama's own statements made in the election campaign.

So now he's adopted the same stance as Bush on the issue!

 

[SwedishMeatball]

So far I only watched one show (Monday). It was good. I did find the set to be "busy" and kind of distracting. Hannity did really well, though. I kind of wish he got another co-host. I was never really impressed with Alan Colmes, though.

Between The Bachelor and American Idol, I have yet to catch it, and tonight isn't going to happen either because of CSI. I liked the banter between Sean and Alan, although Alan didn't get fiesty enough until recent months. Kirsten is a classy lib, and she stands her own and doesn't let Sean get her all riled up. I'm just not sure she'd have enough spunk for the long haul. If you really wanted to see some fireworks, they should pair him with Bob Beckel. That guy doesn't take it laying down, plus he has a sense of humor.

 

[wonderlanne]

Freezing??!?! Come up here and tell me that

Have a nice night!

i know i don't have any right to complain about "cold", but for us it was...brrr. sorry.

 

[wonderlanne]

Holy crap...

(it's real)

wow...he really bulked up for that poster, huh? no more scrawny, EARie nerd.

hi. i watched last night for the first time. i think the show is pretty good...nice to have three guests at once! i agree that the set is a little over the top, and the guest side of the desk dwarfs people...they looked a little uncomfortable to me...or maybe they were small. the other thing is i'm used to seeing sean on the OTHER side of my screen, so it'll take a little while before i'm used to his left profile.

the show moved quickly, though, and i think there was a lot less talking over people.

 

[Humphrey Bear]

Glenn Beck used to really make fun of Alan Colmes a while back and even put up 'The Alan Colmes Magic Eye-Ball' which you ask questions and his eye gives you the answers. It did make it a little uncomfortable when Glenn made his first appearance on Hannity and Colmes though!

I also didn't like Alan Colmes interview style either and enjoyed the show much more when Kristen Powers filled in.

Oh well, I'm not gonna worry about it. Life goes on. I just have to watch myself extra carefully when I'm tired. I would be just like Michael Scott if I were not consciously going over my words all the time (the joys of Asperger's).

I've been meaning to say DD, that everytime I read one of your posts it gives me hope for my son. And after the last bout of homework that was attempted, I need that to cling to

I like you all!

Also, I think "An inconvenient thread" is hysterical.

Love it! An inconveniently truthful thread is more like it

That's a good one.

Only one I can think of is Conservative Wars: A New Hope

But I'm also a Star Wars geek plus the use of 'hope' makes me giggle...

LOVE IT! But I'm a Star Wars geek too

The word "hope" was taken from the land of the good, and is now used for dark purposes. We will pray it returns, but for now, we must assume she is lost to the dark side.

Noooooooo....I would suggest that the other side is selling false hope spoken from the lips of a false prophet!

True hope is still with us


But then, what do I know - I'm not even supposed to be here

I'm shocked! Shocked I tell you. Hussein's such a tool.

 

[Geoff_M]

I'm shocked! Shocked I tell you.

It's also funny how his base, er, I mean "The US media" hasn't noticed this "nuanced" change in O's position (even though it was from a CBS interview). We gotta hear about it in the London Times!

Get used to it, we're going to hear nothing but how wonderful Obama is for the next four years. He's not black, he's not white....he's TEFLON!!!!

What did you guys think?

I agree with you. I don't care for the set and as much as I like Sean Hannity, I also liked it when there was an opposing view. I also didn't care for Alan Colmes and liked Kristen Powers as well. But as for the set? Way too busy for me.

Well, obviously from my siggie I'm partial, but from what I've watched, I really like it.

She said it better than I could. I agree 100%.

Say it ain't so Geoff! Looks like the libs are getting Bush's third term after all.

I really like Bob Beckel. I don't agree with him on a lot of points, but I like listening to him. He doesn't get all riled up and he does have a sense of humor.

I'm watching the confirmation hearings now. It's boring the snot out of me, so I think I'll turn the TV off and actually get some work done. I've had two very productive days this week (feeling good) and I'm close to catching up. Yay.
