Jon Stewart is funny because he's the face of a team of writers. Dennis Miller is funny because he seems to mostly write his own stuff.

Funny is funny. Dennis Miller is funny.

Yeah, the double standard really bothers me. If you're going to act all righteous as if you're better than everyone and know better than everyone, at least have the decency to treat everyone the same. To make excuses for Democrats and excoriate Republicans is just transparent partisan nonsense.

It's like that Oliver Stone thing "The Untold History of the United States". Apart from coming off as VERY pro-Stalin, and pro-Communist by association, where it was good and educational was undercut by times Stone would insert his own opinions as fact. He breezily put the Tea Party in the same sentence as the Nazis and the KKK, as if they were all the same. He can "suggest" the Kennedy assassination was an inside job all he wants, but statements like that are not historical at all, but slanderous name-calling. And yet the Left see no disparity.

Don't get me wrong I love political humor. Alpha House is currently my go to for a good laugh. And I enjoy John Stewart. BUT I don't watch his show. I feel that his show puts too much humor into the issues. So instead of building understanding of a subject people only remember the joke. Then if it comes up in public they only remember the joke's political "position".

To me it's just another biased news show whether or not I agree with it.

The old saying "behind every double-standard in an unconfessed single-standard" proves true again. The real truth is the left sees itself as the intellectual and logical norm and anyone who deviates from their way of thinking is, therefore, abnormal. This is why they have no problems with sweeping declarations, laws, and policies that are only intended to apply to conservatives and libertarians. It's not an issue of ideas to the left, it's an issue of fixing someone who's thinking is deviant and broken.

As Glenn Reynolds would say: "If it wasn't for double standards they'd have no standards at all"

There is no double standard. Conservatives call out liberals for everything on that list, just like liberals call out conservatives for everything on that list. It's a violent circle of "who can be the most outraged at the other side," at it is getting old.

The doublespeak that goes back and forth from conservatives to liberals is maddening and pointless. This article does nothing but widen the chasm between the two sides, when both sides really NEED to get together for once in the last 20 years. Instead of spending 10 minutes piecing together all the things you think liberals did wrong this year and why that excuses conservatives from the same, maybe you should spend a few weeks investigating why people in power are able to have friends in "low place" like Barak Obama or Steve Scalise--that is a story I would be interested in.

If you wonder why there is a double standard, it is because you promote that double standard with articles like this.

This line sums up a lot: When Republicans are in power, “dissent is the highest form of patriotism.” When Democrats are in power, dissent is the racist fuming of “angry white men.”
