God it’s cute to watch ’em flop around all fishy and dying.

David Schmader—former weed columnist and Stranger associate editor—is the author of the solo plays Straight and Letter to Axl, which he’s performed in Seattle and across the US. His latest...

  1. At least he’s now on Faux News, which I have permanently blocked on my TV with a random 4-digit parental access code that I punched in with my eyes closed, so I never have to come across his indignant self-righteous whining while channel surfing.

  2. Obama is getting as much criticism from the left as the right. What’s the difference? The arguments are obviously of a different nature, but if your constituents are going after what you’re doing, and your political enemies are going after what you’re doing, doesn’t it all just blend in to one big, if uncoordinated attack? I don’t need to tune into Fox news, I can just go to americablog.

  3. Yes, insuring healthcare for children is always the first sign of the downfall of a nation. Exactly which Capitlalists have rejected communism by refusing bailouts? I sure seems that a lot of them have taken the money and tried to run with it.
    Poor thing, he really is floundering.

  4. Obama ordered a bombing of Afghanistan that killed at least 18 civilians and all you naive liberal fags totally ignored it.

  5. I like the idea that we’re supposed to give these companies OUR TAX MONEY but apply no constraints to its use.

    Once again, the right wing media acts as Wall Street’s bitch.

  6. @ 10

    Oh, so it’s ok for Obama to order air-strikes that kill civilians in Afghanistan because that is a TOTALLY DIFFERENT WAR…. yeah, I get it now, right.

  7. Who the hell does Beck think he’s talking to? The 2.8 mm (and rising) recently unemployed Americans? The 8.3 mm American workers who were unemployed before that? The 870K households that had their homes foreclosed last year? The tens of millions of Americans who lost approximately $2 TRILLION in retirement investments in 2008? The 47.5 mm Americans (including roughly 9 mm children) who currently have no health insurance?

    Yeah, I’ll just bet all those folks are really worried about the insidious encroachment of “the Socialist threat”, seeing as how “Good ole’ American Capitalism” has been working out soooooo well for them these last few years, eh?

    Seriously. This guy needs to extract his head from the inside of his descending colon and take a good long look around at what’s actually happening in this country.

  8. Communism? Communism? Really? That’s what we’re waving in front of the masses to whip them up into a frenzy these days? Did I fall asleep and wake up in 1952?

    I made it until 2:52 and had to turn it off…

  9. Beck used to be the sane one out there among the conservative commentators. But this isn’t even over-the-top, it’s just fucking nuts.

  10. The sane one? No such thing! Beck is desperate for viewers. He has to justify why the assholes at fox would spend a dime on his stupid, sorry ass. And by the way, we tried it their way and it was a GIANT GLOBAL FAILURE!

  11. I pity the segment of our population that thinks fascism, socialism, and communism are the same thing – and they get all of their “news” and “opinions” from clowns like Beck.

  12. “fascism, socialism, and communism are the same thing”

    it doesn’t matter that they are “different” because the end result is the same: millions dead

  13. if one looks closely at the animation, one will see all 3 words are standing/crumbling in a vast desert of nothing. does anyone else see what the problem is? (p.s. I was just waiting for the “hollywood” sign to appear somewhere amongst these.)

  14. Beck, that dumb fuck, may not even realize S-CHIP is not a new program, since this is simply a renewal of a program that was signed into law by George Bush.

    I don’t understand why the Democrats feel compelled to rescue capitalism from the idiot Republicans who are intent on destorying it. Why do Republicans hate our freedoms?

  15. Speaking of holocaust denying, I sometimes wonder whether this sort of stuff should be able to air at all. It amounts to hate propaganda. If Obama was assassinated, it would be by someone who was inflamed by this sort of programming. Not that I think this should be censured, but there really should be a discussion for what can call itself news
