Never mind, Ike. The irony is lost.
Considering Wallace didn't even start with any cool, I think Stewart handled it fairly well.
But I agree that by the end, there was no winner.

its annoying how wallace constantly interrupts stewart with follow up questions, just let him finish his sentence dammit
Ugghhh, stop it with that stuff. You know that's not true.
Do you know why Science has a liberal bias? Because scientific data is based on factual information, most of which supports the left point of view (especially Global Warming).
Do you know why teachers/professors are typically liberal? Because studies have shown that the higher educated an individual is, the more likely they are to be left of center.
History in it's purest form is unbiased? So how exactly should we represent the Confederate South during the civil war? How about the period of McCarthyism? I bet you're one of those dimwits who thinks we lost Vietnam because of Walter Cronkite.
But really, WHY THE FUCK ARE YOU HERE? If it were up to conservatives, WE WOULDN'T HAVE A FUCKING BOARD!
This reminds me of someone...can't exactly remember who it is, damn it, it's right at the b ack of my mind, who does this statement remind me of? Hmmmm, HOLY SHIT, we got a news drone as president!! :eek:
Anyway, back on topic

I just watched the video as well. He didn't really lose his cool. As been mentioned in previous posts, Stewart is a comedian who is actually very smart about the politics game and media. People try to expose him and end up making fools of themselves, although Chris Wallace debated him well unlike other guys I've seen.
Science is apolitical. The left doesn't quite grasp this so it tries to interfere influencing who get's grants and who doesn't. The left vis a vis MMGW is as zealous as the the Church was during the 15th/16th century towards anyone who claimed the Earth was not the center of the solar system. Then you were branded a heretic by Rome. Today a MMGW skeptic is branded a ostracized by the left.
Social Science/Economics/History Departments are filled with those who grew up during the '60s and teaching students a biased left wing view. That's fact.
History isn't black and white but shades of gray in case you haven't figured it out.
No I don't think we lost Vietnam because of Cronkite. We "lost" because two Democrats got us in there period.
No disputing any of this. Johnson even admitted his biggest mistake was not getting us out of Vietnam and pretty much stepped down over it.
But the science of global warming is really not in question. If you looked at that as critically as you looked at the 60's, you wouldn't continue to spout the denialist rhetoric.
The only consensus about MMGW is that there's no consensus. Data has been manipulated and even faked to support MMGW.
P.S. the left is all about self loathing and blame. This is the ultimate blame..............Humanity destroying the planet. A crap load of people are getting rich off this fraud.
That's just not correct. (I'm familiar with a lot of the sources your quoting and they've been debunked, liek the "fudging of data" thing.)
The reality is there are a lot more people continuing to grow their wealth by funding this denial of global warning. Specifically Big Energy. (Greater efficiency and conservation cuts into their bottom line— it's why Bush never mention conservation or efficiency in his famous "addicted to oil speech.") I'm not against Big Energy at all— they keep the lights on, but they should be leading the way on transitioning into carbon-friendly renewable resources for real instead of just paying lip service to it.
I respect most of your positions, and while this is definitely a flagship issue of the activist Right whose position you so clearly espouse, I think you're pulling the wool over your own eyes on this one.
Not on this. I can see a whole legion of leftists taking advantage of a natural event and manipulating it for their own global agenda. First it was an impending Ice Age now it's MMGW. I call bull.
It is not above the left to murder and commit wholesale slaughter of any animal it deems "harming the environment".
I say this as a person not some politicized/corporate robot. The left has gone too far.
Baloney.
Material support, first military advisors and our first combat casualties occurred under Eisenhower, who's administration also spawned the infamous Domino Theory as a rationale for entering the conflict.
Which would've gone nowhere on it's own. But hey thanks to Kennedy and the big winnah LBJ our involvement increased, the war escalated and became a quagmire.
Nixon did what the LBJ should've done but wouldn't..............make the North cry Uncle with Linebacker I and II.
Face it two Dem presidents dropped the ball and got us in over our heads.
