1. Hey, Brad (GOP Asshole spokesman):

Now you know how it feels to have your ass handed to you.

What a lying sack of shit hypocrite! The Republicans represent EVERYTHING that is WRONG with this world TODAY.

[Styxiv]

54. He answered the question

Listen again when Ari said he wouldn't answer but the the GOP guy then DID answer it when asked if it was appropriate and he said flat out YES!! This shows how disgusting and pathetic the Republicans are and how its been excepted over the years and no one is outraged. Had the roles been reversed we'd hear the Hannitys of the world OUTRAGED and shocked, SHOCKED I TELL YA (ya right!!) (i.e. the lipstick issue) its sad that if the Democrats were to say something like this everyone is outraged, if a Republican does no one even blinks and if the Democrats DO respond they are called whiners and over reacting. DISGUSTING and I'm embarrassed (sometimes) to be part of a country that accepts this type of crap.

IF you can't win on your own merits YOU DON'T DESERVE TO WIN!!!! But hey the republicans could care less about issues its who best smears the other side and sadly people buy into it.

[jjr5]

28. Well, he is incredibly awesome then!!!

Tell him to keep talking. I like it! ;)

[beac]

31. Tell your cousin-in-law he's got a lot of new fans here!

Kept hammering and not afraid to call a lie a lie. Bravo!!!

[PatSeg]

33. Oh, that's cool!

[Snotcicles]

46. Nice to get the last word. nt

[psychmommy]

29. tell him he was awesome. that smack down

cheered me up on this rainy day.

[goren]

45. ARI!!!

Whenever we need a spokesman, send in Ari. He was fantastic. I enjoy a little ass-kicking on a Saturday morning.

[Just-plain-Kathy]

50. Yes! He didn't just roll over.

We need more pundits who know what they're talking about!

[stlsaxman]

4. WHAM!!!

that was BEAUTIFUL!

[rocktivity]

6. The Repubs are lying! The Repubs are lying!

Keith and Rachel said it first, Mike Malloy wanted Obama to say it, he finally did, and now EVERYBODY'S saying it, and I'M LOVING IT!!!

:bounce:

[garthranzz]

7. K&R #5 - because the world is round

despite flat-earthers Palin & McSame.

Notice that the media are getting fed up. Maybe, freed from Fox chains, maybe led by the KO'ing of Billo the clown and the comedian Oxymoron, they are interested in *gasp* wait for it - ISSUES! Truth in Character!

[mwb970]

8. Blakeman is a total tool. /nt

[howmad1]

23. I met Blakemann on a Congressional White House tour.

I could grease and lube my car with the oil oozing from every pore from his body. What a scumbag.

[mwb970]

30. Wow, you actually met the guy!

I always think of these people as just images on the screen. Interesting to confirm he's the same in person.

[Liberalatus]

9. Don't forget to write them...

and tell them that they did a good job, and "We are the American people, and we support that message"

[Plucketeer]

10. And the GOP hacks says........

"Fact check? What's that?" :dunce:

[underpants]

11. It it it...i i ...NO!

:rofl:

[Errrica]

12. DAYUM.

Who is this Ari and is he single?
Good for him.

[mcjackson]

15. he...

..blogs for "huff po" and "the nation" i believe.

[dionysus]

32. i think you're talking about ari berman

[Krakowiak]

56. They both do (nt)

[Politicalboi]

13. He reminds me of

Lanny Davis only Republican.

[Narkos]

14. That was awesome! n/t

[SemperEadem]

16. now that's bringing a knife and a bat to the fight, s0n!

Good on Ari... and even good on Contessa, even though she can be a tool.

It's a lie that you can't go to the Annenberg Foundation and read it? You can't go the the Illinois legislature and get a copy of the bill to read it? I am quite sure that there is a PDF of that bill that you can download from somewhere.

The fact is, the thug hasn't bothered to read for himself because that runs counter to his mission--which is to lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie and lie.

[ann_american2004]

17. this video needs

at least 100+ recs. awesome.

[Faith No More]

18. Time after time

when these crooked bastards are confronted with their lies, they start to fall apart. Their strategy of telling a lie over and over, hoping people will believe it is starting to fail and it will continue to fail when faced with the truth.

[Ned_Devine]

19. Still a case of "too little too late"

The ad should never have been allowed to run in the first place

[DWilliamsamh]

20. There has been ONE positive development this Season. Dems are using the L Word

In the past Democrats would do all kinds of verbal and linguistic gymnastics to avoid calling Republican smears what they were: Lies. I have noticed over the last couple days that a LOT more democrats are actually calling the McCain ads what they are: LIES. Now if we could only get Obama and Biden to do the same thing: call McCain and Palin's assertions what they are: LIES.

It is SOOOOO good to see Democrats telling it like it is: The McCain campaign is LYING!

[kimmylavin]

21. That was great.

Can we send this guy out on more interviews, please??? :)

[geckosfeet]

22. So thankful that Obama has sharpshooters like Ari in the field.

[Janice325]

24. Thanks, kpete.

Ari was fantastic. Contessa didn't do too bad either.
k&r

[Krakowiak]

25. Way to represent Garfield High School...

good for you, Ari. The party needs more like you.

[frog92969]

26. That was great

Refreshing to see a Dem with teeth, off their knees and using the L word.
That Puke was blind sided.
:woohoo:

[The Wizard]

27. The Republicans are accustomed to lying

Now that they're being called on the lies they can't respond. Whenever confronted with a republican liar always ask for empirical data to support their allegations. They usually get confused with the word empirical.
Blakeman is a total hack who is used to getting away with lying. It must be something in the republican DNA. I don't want to say anything bad about the Blakeman guy, but I suspect he was conceived when his mother rolled into one of his father's wet dreams.

[quiet.american]

34. Yes, Ari is the man! And the GOP cockroach SHOULD be ashamed of himself.

But they're utterly incapable of shame or embarrassment, aren't they?

[KeepItReal]

38. "I don't give them Hell. I just tell the truth about them and they think it's Hell."

President Harry S. Truman - D

[proud patriot]

35. awesome

way to kick ass

[Grateful for Hope]

36. K&R

Excellent rebuttal.

[KeepItReal]

37. *THAT* is how it is done!

Kudos Ari!

[FourScore]

39. Hats off to the female commentator as well!

She did her job! Nice to see that. Thanks!

[pipi_k]

41. Finally....

a news commentator doing her job....i.e. speaking up for the truth!!!


I hope she doesn't end up getting in trouble or even fired for standing up to a lying GOP bastard....

[pipi_k]

40. OK, I was prepared for some disappointment...

but, unlike some other Democrats (and so-called "journalists") he and that reporter (I forgot her name already) really did rip that lying bastard a new asshole...

A lying bastard who, incidentally, admitted that he didn't even KNOW what the sex education bill was all about...just that it could "be interpreted" a certain way...

and that justifies the LIES???


yes...shame on him, and shame on McCain for allowing this shit to keep happening.

The only discouraging thing about all of this is that McCain supporters probably won't care that he's lying.

:banghead:

[scytherius]

42. My GOP friends

I told my GOP fiends (oddly many have moved to vote for Obama) that the world was going to fight back this time and never give up until conservatism is gone. It will be a long fight that will continue regardless who wins in Nov. We must keep our eye on the big picture. The GOP base is a rapidly shrinking group of twits.

[pleah]

43. K&R!

[Maestro]

44. Excellent smackdown!

Liars, liars, liars. When you have nothing to stand on, you use distortions and outright lies to make headway!

[Wetzelbill]

47. That's the same guy Cliff Schecter ripped up on two years ago

Guy is a legend! I bet Brad Blakeman never wants to go on another show again, he just gets walloped from pillar to post.

[complain jane]

48. All by myself in my apartment clapping and yelling I'm so happy watching that

Nice!

[PinkyisBlue]

49. Great job Ari. You definitely got your point across and told it for what it is--a LIE!!

[RBInMaine]

51. THIS GUY IS GOOD ! HE KNOWS HOW TO KICK ASS WHICH IS WHAT WE ALL NEED TO DO !!

[Stanchetalarooni]

52. Slimey dirtballs!!!

I have a father-in-law just like that.

[minnesota_liberal]

53. Excellent!

Ari had his facts straight and KO'd the RepubliCon chimp!

[tosh]

55. This made my day!! k&r
