Daily Show Tries to Intimidate Cameraman From Filming Them as They Film Others

For the first time in my life I'm proud to be an American.

The arrogance of these liberals -- the lies, the silly claims of Special Authority, the pathetic attempt at intimidation by a pencil-necked dweeb -- is just breathtaking.

I'm just hoping that mission was accomplished by another conservative journalist incognito.

Pollak was attempting to show the Before and After of the crap that the supposed "comedy" show actually broadcasted.

He knew it would be heavily edited to make the conservatives look dumb.

Honestly, the more we see of this, the more we know this is the only way they win. By hiding the truth and painting a large brush over half of the country.

20 Here's the thing about the clip.

The Daily Show doesn't want anyone filming them filming.

However, we never SEE what the Daily Show is trying to do. Are they intimidating gay conservatives? Are they being @sses? What are they trying to achieve? Supporters of the Daily Show will simply say "they were doing something completely innocent." And that may very well be true.

All I got from the clip is that they didn't want anyone to see what they were doing. Not what they were doing.

Either a space is owned, rented, or public.

49 We are actually well past the point where any sort of decorum or respect or restraint should be accorded any of these people.


Always within the limits of the "law" (I believe this word, and concept, now merits derisive scare quotes, sort of one example of where these people have brought us), of course.


Mockery - since well-founded - should be dispensed freely and aggressively.


Trump of course gets some of his traction from his own, very limited and clumsy, push-back, but that only indicates how over-due it is.


When the NYT published intel/surveillance secrets of great value for the ongoing war on global terrorist networks, after an Oval Office appeal not to do so from Dubya, there should have been consequences.


NYT WH credentials revoked. President or press sec. making a lengthy - live, and in the press room with the rest of corps present - explaining why. Explaining how people could well die at the hands of these insane, evil enemies as a direct consequence of the NYT's irresponsibility. Heavy with direct, personal, vituperative points about the NYT's publisher, chief editor, etc.


The resulting mass fainting and hysteria inside the Beltway - and the multiple ongoing chances it would offer to quadruple-down on your main points, most of which the public would support, would be the main objective.

I agree completely. And I'd love to send this to a liberal friend of mine (he's slowly turning) but that's the argument I'd get from him.

If what you are doing is completely innocent, there's no need to hide it. They just could have asked the guy to make sure he was out of their shot. Which I'm sure he would have done.

Instead, they up and left. Not the response of innocent people.

It's beyond arrogance with this hipster-looking communist dweebs. It's not even hubris - it's beyond that.

These people comport themselves with absolute certainty that they are the ones who must rule, and they do so with utter, complete contempt for everyone else.

Seriously - They ooze hate. (I mean that in the traditional sense, as distinct from the all-encompassing, generic, meaningless epithet seen on Twitter circa 2016.)

I get the sense that only three things stop them from stomping me death in the supermarket: an outdated (in their minds) criminal code, a lack of lower-body strength, and the absence of proper footwear.

A Clinton presidency, a decent pair of boots and 50 squats a day by these motherfuckers would begin to scare me.

Instead of dutifully pulling the lever for Romney and watching him lose quietly, I'm a little excited for the future. At least someone isn't afraid to call out the left and Hillary for their many failures, and do so in a blunt, raw fashion.

I'm still too afraid of societal and employment consequences to put any kind of political bumper sticker on my car (how sad is that?), but I'm seeing some pride on the right, and people sick of being denigrated for having the wrong opinions.

263 >>> That guy looks like he really enjoyed the female Ghostbusters. Posted by: wooga at July 20, 2016 04:04 PM (ooqYE)

Am I banned for life from AoS if I admit I did not completely hate it? *looks around shiftily* It actually had some funny moments I LOL'd at. It fulfills the job of being a tolerable summer popcorn flick.

Being the first of a planned tentpole new franchise that had all the moneys thrown at it, though? Nope. Does not quite fit those shoes. Like Star Wars relies heavily on lots of goodwill from the first film and the final baddie cribs the stay puft man too much. The "I am woman here me ghostbust" was also pretty heavy handed, as to be expected. All the antagonists were either insufferable men or doing the bidding of insufferable men.

Oh, and Chris Hemsworth gave the film extra points. Yes I am horribly shallow.

266 Cruz will run in 2020 even if Trump wins

I'm fine with that. why not? Just because someone won doesn't make them crowned incontestable king.

267 This is the most Breitbart thing (as in Andrew Breitbart, the man) to come out of Breitbart.com since Andrew died. It's fucking delicious. Absolutely perfect.

268 also that he would "destroy the GOPe".
I will check on that last claim after Trump and Preibus stop tongue bathing each other.
...
Not sure, but I think that is scheduled for right after Ted Cruz the Lightbringer is set to go on stage at the Republican National Convention.

Exactly... I seriously doubt that will be the main point of Cruz's speech but it is ridiculous to act as if incumbent presidents (assuming a Trump win) own the office unless defeated by the other party.

270 Since this thread has morphed into a Ted Cruz speech thread even though he hasn't given his yet-

I'll just re-post what I said this morning:

I like that Trump wound up bringing in far more real people working in the real world to this convention-

instead of the same old hacks and pols to barf their lies all over us.

(except for those two useless, cowardly chunks of flaming dog crap Ryan and McConnell)

Trump Jr was great. Even the Fat Man laid out a nice speech and resume for position of AG.


What's interesting will be Cruz' speech tonight-

will he have learned how to connect constitutional conservatism to improving the everyday lives of his listeners like Reagan?

Will he, again as Reagan did...with Ford, support the nominee while at the same time pointing the way forward...

or will he give a big ole "look at me" bag o'crap speech like the Fat Man did last convention and damage his own career?

Or worse, will he, give one of those boring recitation of points speeches like he did after winning Iowa?

I voted for Cruz' but thus far I haven't been impressed with his actions, or actually lack thereof, since he bowed out.

I really hope, cuz I'd like Prez Cruz in the future, that he doesn't turn this into a little bitch moment becuz he's been listening to some of the bitter cranks like Mark Levin (who I used to listen to and respect but who totally seems to have lost what common sense he ever had)-

because that will neither benefit him nor us.



Bonus comment(!) - This is Ted's moment to shine should he choose wisely and not listen to those who would feed his ego at the expense of this great country.

We'll see.

271 Here's an interesting thing.

There are some people still upset over Trump winning the nomination.

There were a lot more people upset over Romney and McCain's nomination victories. At this site, I mean.

---------

More to the point, if Trump wins, he'll either be good or bad. If he is good, no one will run against him. If he is bad, someone should.

Discount tuesday at my theater, paid $5. Got dragged to it by family. Would be less satisfied probably if I'd paid full price.

277 I was the spokesman for a national trade group for 5 years. Did media interviews weekly. I've done it on occasion since.

Worst was a hit piece from Time magazine. Already had the angle developed, the case against and I was simply contacted for that lonely response quote. They didn't even use the bylined reporter for the counter point, just some snotty intern/assistant flunky. Wouldn't even listen to corrections for technical accuracy.

Was more recently misquoted by a suburban Tribune offshoot a few years ago with my statement to the village board trying to head off an assault weapons ban push. Actually misquoted to create the opposite position to the (strong) point that I had made. I was able to point this out to the reporter who denied it at first before she watched the meeting video and ran a correction. Not sure if it was intentional sabotage or simply hearing the version that would have made sense to her world view. She did run a correction.

In general though even on neutral or positive "no spin" coverage I was happy when interviewed if they got it mostly right, most of the time.

278 Remember. It's not that you're an awful person if you liked the new Ghostbusters or thought it wasn't that bad.

It's that you're an awful person if you don't love the new Ghostbusters and its just as good or better than the original. And also you hate women.

Once upon a time, I had my own retail business. In early December, a kid from the local newspaper called to gage my outlook for the holiday season. They did crap like this every year - story already written with blank spaces in which to insert supporting quotes. I said I'd call him back.

When I did very soon after, I asked the reporter if he still had time before his deadline. Then I spelled my name for him, said I gave his predecessor a fact sheet but in case he didn't have it I could give him some basic info about the business. Then I gave him three carefully worded quotes to use, and I spoke slowly so he could take notes. He asked me to repeat one response, which I did - verbatim.

He must have thought, Uh-oh, here I was about to use this hick rube merchant toward my ends, but he knows the game - but I'm not about to let him use me.

Yeah, none of my quotes appeared in the article.

281 Today, at 9:30 pst I was sworn in as a U.S. Citizen. I feel deeply grateful and honored to be accepted to such a blessed nation; it is truly the greatest country the world has ever seen. I would like to share with you a portion of the oath I was sworn to take:

"I will support and defend the Constitution and laws of the United States of America against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same..."

Watching the video of that silly glasses wearing tyrant from the daily show suddenly got my newly infused Americanism enraged... He was trying to suppress the constitution - he was actively attempting to violate the first and forth amendment. This is not only unacceptable it must be called out and shamed whenever it happens. I truly believe that part of the reason the country is in somewhat of a mess is that there has been a hesitation to be firm with defending the constitution; it sounds so corny and old fashioned but it needs to said and it needs to be done otherwise we are looking at a country ruled by the debt ridden film studies, journalist and humanities graduates.

288 I do love the hipster trying to be tough, he's probably only had the chance to boss around interns and PAs and suddenly thinks he's Chuck Zito.

It would have been hilarious if he got physical and just floored by little Joe Pollack, who I no doubt could kick his ass.
