Neil Cavuto Likens Federal Aid For Jobless Benefits To Narcotic Drugs
http://www.newshounds.us/2011/02/11/neil_cavuto_likens_federal_aid_for_jobless_benefits_to_narcotic_drugs.php

On Tuesday (2/8/11), Neil Cavuto spoke with co-founder of Tea Party Patriots, Mark Meckler, about President Obama possibly helping states pay jobless benefits. That choice of guests guarantees an anti-Obama slant to the discussion but for extra anti-Obama insurance, Cavuto began the discussion by saying, "Well it's just like more drugs, Mark, isn't it?" Please.

Meckler, of course, agreed. "It's the same thing all over again, Neil. And the American public's already spoken loud and clear on this very subject. They don't want to see state bailouts. This is a backroom deal for a state bailout."

Safely ensconced in the anti-Obama framing, Cavuto gave a nod to balance by briefly paraphrasing the argument on the other side. Noting that proponents say that it's not a bailout, Cavuto added they see it as "You're just making conditions a little easier for states to get over the hump."

Meckler, of course, disagreed. "A bailout is a bailout no matter what they call it, Neil. The states owe this money… They're kicking the can down the road like they always do. They're punishing my children, my grandchildren… Americans need to be treated like adults… They're acting like adults in tightening their own belts, we expect that it's time our government acts like adults and do the same."

2. My teabagging hard right father worships him
A real douchebag. Like a synergistic combo between that plutocrat tool Cramer and Hannity with the absolute worst of all ideological nuances.

One of the few times that makes me actually shout when "discussing" politics with my father, me being pro-union and all.

6. Cacuto never broke a sweat for a dollar in his life.
Soft hands, silk suits...talks for a living.


The Right used to despise people like Cavuto.

8. My teabagging hard right co-workers worship him
There are four managers - I'm one of them.
I'm the lone outspoken unapologetic liberal, and I'm in their face every single day.
I never give them an inch.
I mock them openly.
They HATE me.
Funny part is - I outperform them and not by just a little bit.
I tell them if they spent a little less time listening to Glen Beck podcasts and actually worked, maybe they too could be as effective as the stupid tree hugging liberal commie.
Did I mention they hate me?

One of these hand jobs shows up at work one day wearing a lapel pin on his jacket.
It's a cross with American Flag colors.

Me: "Are you begging someone to call HR on your ass?"
Him: "I have a right to wear this, they can't do anything"
Me: "You have a right to be stupid too, that doesn't mean you should take full advantage of it"
Him: "I really hate you"
Me: "Wear your Jesus flag well asshole, I'm sure he hates me too"

Did I mention they hate me?

5. ALL wages are "like a narcotic" as well. We get "addicted" to having a paycheck
Edited on Sun Feb-13-11 01:04 PM by SoCalDem
You know... Like Neil is ADDICTED to his own pay check.

I wonder if Neil would complain if he had to do the same job for $24K a year:rofl:..
