Video of the Day (Wizbang)

I don't often have much use for The Daily Show, but occasionally, it can be really funny.

Here's a video of correspondent Rob Riggle reporting on the Berkeley situation. There's lots of snortworthy quotes that really made me wonder -- how do these people actually believe what they're saying? I mean, when they hear this stuff played back, are they not embarassed? Ugh.

Here's a few examples:

I kind of felt like how the Iraqis probably felt, like we were being occupied here in Berkeley.

The Marines are not a moral influence.

We are hugging, we are hugging, we are hugging for a peaceful world!

Rob Riggle: If only there was an organization sworn to defend that free speech!
Code Pinko: That would be great!

The Marines, we don't need to be worrying about their rights. It's not an equal relationship.

Rob Riggle: So if we got rid of police, we wouldn't have crime?
Code Pinko: Essentially.

Well, just think, if we had a Department of Peace, it could reach down into every community and talking about peace studies and conflict resolution...

Enjoy. There are laughs abound in this video. Code Pink and Berkeley hippies, be ashamed.

The funniest part is that Riggles is a Major in the USMC Reserve, having served in Afghanistan, Kosovo, and Africa.

There's really no better way to expose some people's stupidity than through humor. What a riot!

Bwhahahahaha.....occasionally Jon Stewart gets it right. This video and the one he did making fun of environmentalists opposed to windmill ? farms outside their homes are the best.

There is a photo out there of John Murtha posing proudly with Code Pink ladies. And that says it all. Never vote democrat.

Oh, my. Somehow this almost makes it all worse than what I've seen before. I'd sort of like to shake that guy's hand for not putting his fist through any of their heads. Oh, but the next to last quote in this post is incorrect - she says 'potentially' not 'essentially', which does make a big difference in the meaning.

Falze - potentially vs essentially, it still showcases 'magical thinking'. Police cause crime like flies cause garbage. It's pretty clear that cause and effect are reversed in Berzerkistan...
