... hang on... that Adam Sandler is a registered Republican makes him conservative...

With so many conservatives (neo cons, right wing nuts and other strange right wing affiliates) saying being Republican does not make you a conservative.

I find that Vikings list is not valid.

btw... alot of actors in your list Vikings, such as Mel Gibson. Who by any accounts is a registered nutter.

Thema: Re: consertive comedians
Vikings:

another thing that occured to me is that the Col is using the "a lot of other people think so too" argument that his comedian is "the best."

But when I used that same argument that "a lot of other people think" that Fox News is "the best" that same logic was poo pooed. hmmmmm Keep in mind that Fox news beats the tar out of the other networks hands down.

So for the Col, if your a liberal, and a lot of people think your this or that (as long as they are libs) then you must be what they say - but if conservatives say so about their guy, um, not so much.

And this guys routine of skiing is very funny. http://www.kendavis.com/

There are TONS more of guys like this making a living out of making people laugh.

That you've never heard of them (likely) is meaningless to my point. You arrogantly challenged me to name one right wing comedian and now you have three names. But that likely won't be good enough.

However, as most clear thinking people know, if these guys were liberals, guys like you would be all over them with laughter and recommendations.

One other thing, many (if not most) left wing standup contains tons of filthy words. My examples are of guys that don't use that profanity. That's because they are REALLY funny and don't need a filthy mouth to make an audience laugh. Just like Old Red.

(V): That must explain why Glen Beck is so successful. A conservative knows when he/she is making an impact by the number of times they are belittled by the leftists. You keep bringing Beck up (you're obsessed with him) and that alone is proof of his impact. And liberal thinkers like you can't stand it.

The Col: He'd be completely noticed in the right circles. He's not the only right leaning comedian that makes his/her living telling jokes/stories etc. Just like you have lots of liberals out there making a living as comedians, you have conservatives as well. And for every Jay Leno, there are a few thousand others that didn't make it. Not every lib makes it.

And as we all know, in show business, even if you have leanings to the right, you keep them to yourself or you're shooting yourself in the carreer foot. Letterman bleeds liberalism. Stewart not so much.

Artful Dodger: "There are plenty of right-wing comics making a living with comedy"

name one

The common reason stated, is that conservatives tend to have issue laughing at themselves, liberals don't have the same issues with self depricating humor

Thema: Poll Shows Tea Partiers Favor Perry to Bachmann by More Than Double
While Michele Bachmann founded the Tea Party Caucus in the House of Representatives before she even decided to run for president, Texas Governor Rick Perry, her 2012 rival, is reportedly more popular among Tea Partiers, garnering double the support in a recent Gallup poll.

The poll, released Friday, shows Perry with 35 percent of Tea Party supporters while Bachmann trails considerably at 14 percent.

According to Gallup, 38 percent of Republicans most concerned with social issues favor Perry, despite Bachmann’s long track record of social conservatism. Perry also curried favor among voters who think government spending and power is the most important issue facing the country.

Thema: Re: laughatliberals
The Col: define success. There are plenty of right-wing comics making a living with comedy. But who cares? There are so many possible factors (like the fact that the John Stewart show has a policy against scheduling conservatives-with only some exceptions to that). Didn't you read that memo from the shows exec? Guess not.

But again, who cares? In the big picture, it's a meaningless thing (except to perhaps say that those in power and control prefer liberal jokesters because they themselves are libs.)

Pretty much like college campuses. Lots of liberal profs, few conservatives. Why? Colleges love diversity of opinion.
