Lewis Black advocates "military takeover" by US troops.

[Bozita]

I think he's talking about us.

Might not be such a bad idea.

Said it on Letterman.

1. Give me the Marines and...

I will begin holding people responsible in 30 minutes.

Seriously. Do you think there is any other way to get rid of all the corruption in DC?

[Book Lover]

2. Other than a military coup? Yeah, I think we could come up with something.

Sarcasm or no, hearing people wish to command a military coup makes me sick a little.

[AlCzervik]

8. it's a Little weird, a military coup here in the US. ok more than a little weird

and i can see it happening and then i can see a Lord of the Flies scenario.

[Zorra]

3. The military knows the idiot boy is insane. This idea is gaining traction.

We all need to unite and remove the traitorous neocons from power before they destroy the United States.

[Mojorabbit]

4. We have congress to do that

though they are sitting on their hands. I wonder if the military ever approaches them.

[OKthatsIT]

5. We do?

[Mojorabbit]

12. I meant to impeach

but they seem to have the extremely dire national problem of steroid abuse to tend to for now.

17. congress is not sitting on their hands. they are too busy masturbating with them. n/t

[tuckessee]

6. "Liberals" & "progressives" getting excited by the thought of a military takeover of the US.

I must be in fucking Bizarro world.

Maybe flouride has made people insane.

[aquart]

10. Some people don't get jokes.

Or the concept of "comedian."

[Bozita]

13. Yes, it's Louis Black, comedian extraordinare!

[Zorra]

11. Yer livin' in Bu*hworld - that's bizarro world times 2. n/t

[Johnyawl]

7. I'd rather have the idiot-n-chief for the rest of his term...

...then a military coup.

I'd rather have Jeb Bush for the next 8 years, then a military coup.

Once you have one military coup, they become habit forming, and democracy is dead. Look at how hard it's been for Latin America to kick that habit

The only reason- EVER - for the military to take control of the goverrnment, even briefly, is if the president, by force refused to let congress convene.

[Journeyman]

9. Yeah. . . a military coup. . .

that'll make everything right . . .


From Jefferson to George W. . . . you figure it couldn't get much worse -- then you read citizens advocating military coups . . .

15. It will come to that at some point. All empires go through revolutions and coups at some time.

It's an observation no different than saying the sky is blue or water is wet.

I think it was Jon Stewart who said that comedy is truth except faster.

[Eurobabe]

16. Oh damn and I missed it? I love Lewis Black!

[orleans]

18. same here. n/t
