Samantha Bee - you are my new HERO!

[Coexist]

Please watch this clip! from last night's The Daily Show...

I love you, Samantha!

[Motown_Johnny]

1. I watched it last night.. got to love it

[liberalmuse]

2. That was so hilarious.

:rofl: And I think she got a convert.

[speedoo]

3. I got dibs on Samantha.

That was funny.... she always is funny, and frequesntly hilarious.

[KathieG]

4. LMAO

:rofl:

[City Lights]

5. She kicked ass!

:bounce:

[opihimoimoi]

6. Them Fundies have trapped themselves....now look, Sarah had to have the baby knowing its Mongoloid

and instead of abortion....she had to carry the baby full term and sho nuff...mongoloid baby....

Then Daughter gets knocked up at 16....sho nuff....had to have baby...trapped by ideology....now both lives are hampered and stifled...is that good? They will say it is....what choice do they have?

Reality says their lives are going down the Hardship path...intentionally....

Thats not the kind of leadership we want....thats STUPID....

Sam did an excellent job...hats off to her and her innovative style

[nxylas]

7. Wow, I didn't think anyone used the term "mongoloid" any more

Sorry to be the PC police, but the preferred term is "Downs Syndrome".

[DesertRat]

10. Actually it's Down Syndrome

a.k.a. "Trisomy 21". And you're right, "mongoloid" is offensive and hasn't been used in 40 years.

[nxylas]

13. My apologies

My dad was a psychiatric nurse (he's retired now) and would probably kick my ass for making that mistake.

[DesertRat]

25. No big deal

:hi:

[RNdaSilva]

37. The reason that it was called "Mongolism"

...forty years ago, was because of the appearance of an epicanthal fold, e.g., similarity to a Mongol. It was never intended to be offensive. Enter political correctness. Down's syndrome.

Trisomy 21, so named because of an extra 21st chromosome.

[opihimoimoi]

19. OKJ so I am an old guy....but kick me, I'm only the messenger...

The message is: she fucking trapped herself and her daughter too by an archeic ideology....

BTW...is the Downs the same as Hydro Cephalic??? just askin??

[Mother Of Four]

26. Hydrocephalus

Is when there is a buildup of Cerebral Spinal Fluid on the brain in the subarachnoid space.

Hydro = Water Cephalus= Head/Brain

[opihimoimoi]

28. Thank You....a Toast

:toast:

[RNdaSilva]

36. And then we have microcephalic...

often interchangeable with...Republicanism.

[Zebedeo]

31. So you're saying

that it's "STUPID" to decide to have a "mongoloid" baby, because it results in the parents having their lives "hampered and stifled"?

Sounds like you are in favor of forced abortion of "mongoloid" babies. Are you perfect?

Would it surprise you to know that there are DUers who have children with disabilities, including Down's Syndrome? Would it surprise you to learn that those children love and are loved the same as any other children, and that they are beloved members of their families and valuable members of society?

What the fuck is wrong with you?

[symbolman]

34. Its his opinion

What the fuck is wrong with you?

Opi's a wonderful human being, do YOU automatically assume everyone is out to attack and defame you and others?

Back off a notch, you might make new worthy friends, IF indeed YOU are even worth it.

Nasty way to go through life.. Bud.

[DesertRat]

8. Kick and 5th Rec!

[annabanana]

9. sheer genius. . .She shut them up good didn't she? . . . . . .n/t

[Coexist]

14. I loved the woman who was terrified of saying the word "choice"

she knew it was a trap, lol!

[msallied]

11. Wow... it's so easy to turn these idiots on their heads. LOL

[TwilightGardener]

12. That was excellent.

[4_Legs_Good]

15. That was AWESOME!!!

I wonder if the people with bumperstickers that say "choose life" actually realize that that is a pro-choice statment.

[blogslut]

16. It was briliant

I really, really love her.

Note how that one young woman tried so hard not to say that evil word.

[blue_onyx]

17. I loved that clip!!!

I saw it last night and couldn't stop laughing. My favorite was the one lady in black who kept starting the same sentence but couldn't figure out how to not use the word choice.

[nichomachus]

18. That's one bunch of scary people

Like Village of the Damned or something

[Patsy Stone]

20. "Freedom of choice"

"That's different than pro-choice."

:rofl:

[girl gone mad]

21. So let's just start using the term "freedom of choice"

instead of pro-choice.

[file83]

32. Actually, that is great way to frame the argument....

because as soon as they attack the "freedom" of choice, guess what you get to accuse them of...

That's right, "attacking our freedoms!" - exactly what the "terrorists" are supposedly attacking us for.

That'll shut them up fast.

[intheflow]

22. That's right.

So-called pro-lifers have no choice, really. If they publicly vilify pro-choice advocates, they limit their own choices. In other words, they have no freedom to choose. It must be so hard living in those tiny little brains! :crazy:

[WA98296]

23. It was brilliant! Kudos!

[myrna minx]

24. Fantastic. n/t

[stuntcat]

27. Thank You!

TY!! I couldn't watch the 8:00 replay tonight.

[Bleacher Creature]

29. K & R

These needs to go viral.

[JBoy]

30. K&R! That was brilliant. Loved that young woman squirming to not say "choice".

Makes you want to bang your head against a brick wall.

The hypocrisy... tastes like burning.

[SeattleGirl]

33. In a nutshell, baby! In a nutshell!

You go, Sam!

[Coexist]

38. she rocked!

[lamp_shade]

35. CHOICE is a four-letter word apparently.
