I generally don't care for the Daily Show's opinion on anything, but I was not only pleasantly surprised by this, it was pretty darn good!

I don't care for a lot of their opinions either, but they do a fairly decent job of attacking hypocracy, and absurdity in politics wherever it occurs. Yes, they're harder on the reps because they are in power now. The dems certainly don't get off scott free. I can't ever recall the show being disrespectful of the military.

Ha ha! I was already laughing when I read the title. Marines and Berkely in the same sentence can only be entertaining.

There are some really stupid people in this country, the sad part is, they don't even realize just how stupid they are....they just keep on talking. Now I would like to see a plane load of these peace loving educated people unloaded in Iraq so they could talk peace with some Hadji.

Dang connection won't let me see it

I am familiar with John Stewart and enjoy his show for the comedy, he is quite
talented.

The people you probably have seen are picked for their ridiculousness and
are edited to be even more so. Although they really are crackpots anyway.

The general sentiment they are spewing is agreed to some extent by almost
half our country, the libs.

All it will take is some charismatic person to bend the truth and turn millions
of people into maniacs that will "kill in the name of peace" and they will they
are just looking for someone to tell them they are important and righteous
and you would be surprised what they are capable of.

The far left will get their socialist nirvana if they have to kill or imprison anyone
who speaks out against them. It's in the cards.

It's the end result of crying to a government to fix your problems.

Every time.

Wow. To think their little brains can even generate enough energy to walk and breath at the same time. I guess we're not so evolved after all!

I've got too much to say about this so I won't say anything other than "Sheep".

Anyone who thinks their vote doesn't count needs to watch this video and see the people who have elected the Boxers and Feinstines to Congress.

When in the Army in 1967 at Fort Ord, Calif, I decided to make a weekend trip to Berkley just to see what it was all about. I am sure I recognized some of the faces in the video as the same ones I saw back then. The only difference is 40 years and gray hair. I hated it then and things haven't changed. . . . . .

"If only there was an organization sworn to protect those rights..."

and the idiot says, "Yeah, that would be cool."

ROFLMAO

Those idiots are being pressured by other business owners nearby to stop because the are harassing people and driving customers away. City Hall won't make them go away, because Berkely is so darn high and mighty, they SHOULD keep the Maries out.

Yuck.

I loved the comparisons between Iraq and Berkely, too...

Good stuff
