SA@TAC - David Letterman's Willful Ignorance

When David Letterman had Sen. Rand Paul as a guest on his television show, the late night talk host let his liberal faith dictate his own facts.

@gansmith So if Hitler told a million jokes he wasn't evil anymore?

Letterman is part of the problem, comedian or not.

Liberal shows like Letterman's or the "daily show" often spread evil ideas with humor. Giving a free pass to "clowns" like Letterman just because they are "comedians" regardless of what they believe and how big their audience is borders on the insane.

Taking your outstanding closing statement to heart : "Like Sen. Paul on Letterman’s program, the most an honest person can do is wave the flag of truth, watch the sparks fly, and let the chips fall where they may. Changing hearts and minds is a messy and often thankless business. But it is also the only moral reason for even being involved in politics in the first place."

@steve0281 I seem to remember that being a joke.

Letterman's "top ten" ....and the #1 on his list...Letterman is owned by Rand Paul!

[greenback001]

Letterman is a stooge.

That was indeed a superb argument. It was air tight. I back Ron and Rand Paul 100%, but even so, I try to find air holes in arguments such as this one-- it makes them stronger if you can find their flaws... I could not find any flaws with this argument other than some very slight ad hominim leaning, but it was ever so slight.

@gansmith The problem is Letterman is not much of a comedian either. He's just a loud mouthed idiot--and mean spirited; a foil for jacobin sensibilities. As Bruce Willis says about a character in The whole nine yards: Not a good person. In the case of Paul and other conservatives that appear on his show, Letterman uses his "silliness" as a thin, thin vernier to cloak his malice--and does a poor job of it, for it is glaringly obvious.
