I didnât like the movie because it was simplistic and stupid, not because Iâm âlooney left.â

The Looney Left may be more insane than the Tea Party, but there are no members of the Looney Left in positions of national party leadership, serving in the House or Senate, or sitting on the Supreme Court.
Thatâs the difference. Both sides have nutcases, but the right puts them in power and the left doesnât.

Your envy of people who possess more than a brain stem is understandable. We expect that from children.

you want to know what is âloonyâ? Wishing for America to fail because your guy didnât win the election. Peddling a psychotic, obsessive hatred of the president simply because you wanted the other guy to win the election. Finding a way to connect every single bad thing that happens in the country and in the world to the president, and blowing off every good thing that happens in the country and in the world as having nothing whatsoever to do with the president. Being pissed off that Obama was the president that got Osama bin Laden, rather than rejoicing that the mastermind of 9/11 has finally met his end.

I guess speaking to an empty chair and producing a war movie have something in common.

This guy is an over-inflated gasbag. Didnât he used to be on another channel?? Hate for someone to accidentally light a flame next to himâŚHe might explode.
Added: They donât call him GASparino for nothinââŚ

I just sat through this video just to see what CBS was so interested in not showing in their Steve Kingpalooza coverage this morning so Iâm unclear on Gasparinoâs âlooneyâ parametersâŚ

Dean doesnât have it quite correct. People are flocking to the movie alright, but only to look for the WMDs.

In a way he has a point. When stuff like this comes out it usually is Liberals that rush to condemn it rather than shut their mouths. What did Moore achieve? Other than giving the GOPâers a bunch of good âLiberals hate Americaâ talking points.
I donât think Liberals hate America but their willingness to dwell on its faults is at times a bit much. Stop it. The movies seems to be popular so let it be. Sure itâs probably campy stuffâŚfar fetched and bearing little resemblance to the truth but that doesnât have to force a comment out of us⌠Just STFU and let it go.

Totally understand your reservationsâŚI spent the day undergoing major dental work and so felt I was loopy enough to watch John McCainâs 2008 vice presidential selection and the only woman to address Steve Kingâs Iowa Freedom Something Or Other.
My concern, why did CBS fail to include Ms. Palin in their smug report this morning? Perhaps she makes the other clowns appear even more clownish? But, is that a call for CBS to make? Sheâs a major Republican, King gave her a glowing introduction and she got a good reception from the crowdâŚ
That she made little to no sense is Americaâs call not CBS.

I sometimes wish the âlooney leftâ was in power. The âlooney leftâ is only âlooneyâ to those on the far far far right.

Does he mean some of the PETA people or something? I feel anybody crazy on the left gets ignored. The Tea Party takes part in actively controlling the GOP! They found a clever way to do it with primaries, but they are far more dangerous in their insanity is taken as a serious position. The media fears being called liberal to much.

Yes, the âlooneyâ left is in fact more insane than the tea party. Difference? The âlooniesâ make up a very small fraction of the left, a TINY fraction. The tea party actually not only makes up a large portion of the right, but they have substantial Congressional representation. Any reason why he left that part out?

Damn, I just posted a similar post before I read through the comments, but you are spot on. I definitely donât want the âlooniesâ from the left in power, but I too am puzzled why the loonies on the Right have House, Senate and SCOTUS representation.

Sometimes I like Michael Moore and sometimes heâs a fucking idiot. âBowling For Columbineâ was a thought-provoking critique of Americaâs gun culture that avoided well-worn party line prescriptions on both sides. (Though the Charlton Heston stunt at the end was unnecessary). âSickoâ was a mess, particularly that business with praising Cubaâs comprehensive health care system. (Yeah thanks Michael, for making it very easy for American demagogues to connect single-payer health care with totalitarianism!) Calling military snipers âcowardsâ? Fuck off, Michael, thatâs just stupid and shows how little you know about the military. And now heâs getting into a pissing match with Sarah Palin, shit Michael why donât you just write her a personal check. Oh and letâs not forget his championing Ralph Nader in 2000. Gee, maybe there WAS more than a dimeâs worth of difference between Bush and Gore.

Should we really care what Charlie Gasparino belches out about political matters?
In his own area of self-professed expertise, heâs considered a buffoon and his observations are widely cited as punchlines.

anybody who talks about the âloonyâ left ought to be asked to name names and what exactly makes them loony. Itâs pretty easy to name the loony right and what makes them loony. The âloony leftâ? Uh, maybe Michael Moore is one, heâs pretty far to the left and Iâve heard him say some things that are not in touch with reality. Who else? If you think Nancy Pelosi or Harry Reid are part of the âloony leftâ, then you are probably watching too much Fox News.

I disagree. Some of the comments Iâve seen here from some of the ReaLiberals are just as batshit and unhinged as anything from the far right. Itâs just that you CAN be far left and have brilliant ideas for the country. You canât be far right and brilliant, the two ideas are mutually exclusive.
