Politically Incorrect on the set of "The View", part 1

[lynottlives]

Ah yes, before stewart and maher fell out..

[clabuesch1]

Rock first said "and their teams are 80% black" then "all the players are black, 90% of the players are black" how pulled out of his ass is that statement. That is something you can only say pre-internet on network TV.

[benignuman]

Chris is right to the extent that college athletes are exploited tremendously by the Colleges.

[screenhorrahfan]

Now I could be wrong here, but isn't Coulter totally against EVER single democrat in theory? Then how can she not trust ALL politicians if she rarely IF EVER says anything negative against republicans?

[grands1am]

How self-important can you get? People are blinded by emotion. If you asked Chris Rock to define who "his people" actually are, he wouldn't know what to say... All Africans?  All black Africans? All black Africans from his country? Or tribe?

[rooley]

Chris Rock is so wrong on this. First, these athletes are getting educations and possibly a shitload of money if they go pro. Second, you can't give all black students a free education because a small minority of black students are great athletes. Would Chris also like all money made from white athletes to go toward paying the tuition of only other white students. Sorry, Chris, that's racist bullshit.

[PublicICON]

the innocent days of ann coulter

[sealhunta]

wow, must be so long ago when ann coulter cares about racism .

[doombuggy123]

@sealhunta That comment seemed manipulative to me. Musicians get criticized all the time for not being responsible role models, especially Kurt Cobain. Marilyn Manson was even on an episode of Politically Incorrect to talk about his own controversy and responsibility as a role model.

I think she just pulled that out as a tactic to get people on her side or to accuse people who are opposed to her of being racist because her opening argument was very politically driven.

[jismjacket]

good panel of guests

[cailinaschilldara]

"Mathletes" Hahaha

[sashaeloise]

jon stewart is freakin awesome

[LiBlub1]

Great cast! Ann Coulter is good to get some balance to the sane people.

[VexonCross]

If I could get her to shut up about anything even remotely political, I'd be all over Ann Coulter.

[imcrazy85]

so keep ur black people chris please keep them ur an idiot racist

[TheSpazzofMuffins]

Young Jon Stewart, Mmmmm <33333

[jerryhello100]

Jon's comedy is just so superior to these other guy's; Bill, and Chris got too serious. Lennox is the shiznit too, pretty funny here. And, strangely, Ann Coulter wasn't as insane as usual here.

[JFLD8]

@jerryhello100 i think she lost it after 9/11

[Roland1232]

Jon Stewart. Still awesome after all these years.

[charliebubblesoar]

What is it about being on the set of The View that makes people talk over each other? lol. p.s. - Jon Stewart looks really hot

[GohTakeshita]

Ann Coulter's a facist bitch, but damn, look at those legs!

[gluecement]

Leave it to Jon to keep the levity high, but still stay on topic.

[tolchock1984]

This video was worth it just for that part with William Shatner at the start, I don't why but I love old commercials.

[CaptainTae]

I like Rock, but he's way off on this.

[atlmale2007]

Using Chris Rock's analogy that black athletes make millions for the school for white kids to attend. What about schools that get millions in private funding and study grants (Don't think Ivy League schools make most of their money through athletics)?? We all know money made in the athletic department stays in that department.......

[Slugg329]

These Schools are exploiting black athletes? Shit if they dont want the scholarship, chance at a championship, and all the free pussy then they can exploit me

[ryanbradyjohnblack19]

FUCK YOU CHRIS ROCK!!!!

[IamAsi94]

the first time i disagreed with bill

[lura32000]

when bill maher was reasonable and coulter wasnt a racist

[365to173repubsPWNED]

This is an excellent lineup...

[MarkMVHS753]

Charles B just went to jail...ha

[redpoint5]

I've heard Chris say many intelligent things that I agree with, but his argument that Whites are benefiting from black sports is ridiculous.

The black athletes are getting a scholarship and an education. How is that ripping black people off? Furthermore, most sports programs are a net money looser, not money maker.

Last, having those black athletes in college can only encourage other blacks to attend.

Black culture will have to appreciate college more before attendance goes up.

[slytown]

He's saying universities that black athletes tend gain scholarships from earn large amounts of money for the college. Even if they are money losers, the emphasis then isn't on their education.

He's right. They are exploited. He's not saying that it isn't great young black males/females can go to college, but he' saying the universities push sports more than their education programs, hence the U.S. dropping rank in education.

[redpoint5]

Jon exposes the error in Chris' logic when he mockingly says my people, the mathletes, are being exploited. Using Chris' logic, I am a slave to my job, since I am "forced" to work if I want to earn money.

How dare Chris marginalize "his people's" real slavery by comparing cotton slaves to recipients of college scholarships. They are incomparable.

Chris further shames himself by using the term my people. He cannot speak for all black people just as I cannot speak for all white people.

[redpoint5]

Furthermore, the notion that universities conspire to advance white people at the expense of blacks is ridiculous; especially in light of minority quotas that actually work against whites. Any affirmative action law breeds racism and goes against the words of the Declaration of Independence which read: "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal."

I'm not a legal expert, but I wouldn't be surprised if affirmative action laws are unconstitutional.

[slytown]

But isn't the point of Affirmative Action to give African-Americans, Hispanics, etc. the opportunity to enter white dominated jobs? Yes it at times it may discriminate against better workers, but the question you have to ask is how important is it to always hire the best and most efficient worker. I think especially at this point during a financial crisis were are starting to question the systems of efficiency and productivity that are so idealized in the modern workplace.

[redpoint5]

Affirmative action is intended to displace whites with minorities. However, it's insulting that some think minorities cannot succeed on their own, and compete for positions with a different set of rules.

If quotas existed in basketball requiring a certain number of white players, the game would suffer and become less profitable. Affirmative action is just as ridiculous and perhaps more harmful to everyone.

The practice of using quotas smacks of socialism, which always fails the logic test.

[redpoint5]

I've questioned whether efficiency is most important, & the answer is a resounding yes. In troubled economic times, the least efficient workers are let go. Cutting inefficiency is how the economy will recover, despite Obama's poor fiscal policy

Efficiency has a trickle down effect that benefits everyone from the very top to the very bottom. When the US does well, the world benefits. When the US suffers, the world suffers

History will judge affirmative action as a thorn in the side of progress

[MooseOfReason]

It's collectivism. You're giving some groups of people special privileges that aren't afforded to other groups. That's not right. People should be treated as individuals, not turned into a protective class, that actually backfires -- John Stossel explained that in this clip when talking about pregnant women: -l3j-mgOHqM.

[feudfan55]

Affirmative action is unconstitutional, it is a blatant violation of the 14th Amendment.

[khanflesh]

What? Seriously? The earliest forms of what is now called affirmative action date back to the Reconstruction, most of which were implemented by the SAME PEOPLE who framed the 14th Amendment. Affirmative action as we know it today was born out of The Civil Rights Act of 1964 and 2 Executive Orders by then President Johnson. Also, before you pull bullshit out of your ass and try to pass it off as fact, read up on the Equal Protection clause to the 14th Amendment.

[Blank3]

Wow, it's so weird to see how things were SO much less polarized then they are today. Could you imagine how polarized this conversation would be today?

[guyv00]

"I'm a uniter, not a divider" Bushes words, sad how things have changed.

[santajimi]

@Blank3 Could you imagine how much better this debate would have been if Jon Stewart had been the host and Bill Maher had been outside the studio cleaning windows or something?

[keddaw]

November 19th 1999

[phantasmbunny]

Jon Stewart!!! <3

[Armistance]

where's hal jordan?

[WhyNotTruth]

Wow, Shatner has been a priceline hack for a while!!

[thepiper2112]

That was exactly what I was thinking! lol

[Armistance]

that was my first thought

[smk2652468]

Maher has really lightened up on his views since this time period. great panel.

[rosepetal34]

damn i can't stand anne coulter what a cunt and yes i am a women i can say cunt hehe :) amazing panel by the way wow

[chunkybutt420]

im a guy and i say cunt

[Ironzealot7531]

damn, talk about an all star panel

chris rock, john stewart, anne coulter, and some other guy

[thepiper2112]

the other guy is 3 time Heavyweight Boxing Champion Lennox Lewis.

[SpaceOddity]

Yeah, this was a pretty great panel.

[Efferts]

Why should we have role models at all? Why should ppl be held responsible for the morality of other ppl's children?

Fuck off!

[redpoint5]

Good point, I was thinking a similar thing. People should be their own role models; aspiring to be the best they can be. However, this isn't realistic and some people end up being tremendously influenced by others. Because of this fact, it's important to conduct yourself appropriately. Again, your premise is right on. Role models should be downplayed, especially since all fall short of perfection.

[Efferts]

It's upsetting that ppl never (at least) consider themselves 1st on the list for blame.

No one's practices with caution anymore. When an accident occurs, it's predetermined that the fault is never "mine".

Big egos, no responsibility. We can educate the youth, but ppl would rather refuse the data & stand tall.

[elbuggo]

Loose shoes, a tight pussy, and a warm place to shit. Who do I have in mind?

[akamola]

Your family tree ???????

[redfoxxx29]

anne wants to fuck every black man on the panel

[blackrainuponus]

To quote The Boondocks "Ann coulter is a down ass bitch."

[DieGewerkschaft]

thank you librarien!

[bigalisme]

Jon Stewart is awesome...

Is it sad that I watched Elmopalooza just because he was in it?

[withoutasong]

NAACP tournament? WTF, hahaha

[allocater]

Captain Kirk!?

[withoutasong]

Coulter is a worthless POS!

[EstelElessar]

Finally! I've been looking for the Jon Stewart episode for ages. Thanks a bunch.

[Surreal469]

I'm still waiting for the Tom Leykis ep and the Sarah Silverman/Inoki ep.

[texjoy86]

Wow, I never thought Bill Maher and Jon Stewart were ever in the same room together.

[Surreal469]

It's kind of like the President and Vice President being on the same plane. lol

[Kain5th]

Maher was on the Daily Show in september for religulous

[SpaceOddity]

Yeah, talk about a meeting of the titans. Cool episode.

[roxaSora11]

meeting of the titans? are we looking at the same people? i see chris rock and anne coulter... so far... quite the opposite of "titans" however jon stewart and bill maher are brilliant.

[retox]

"the asthmatic Jewish guy" LOL I love Bill but I wish he was a bit more self-depricating like John.

[nicknonsense303]

cool. wish he'd get jon stewart as a guest on real time.
