This was great. We already saw The Young Turks Cenk Uygur take down http://videocafe.crooksandliars.com/heather/tyt-cenk-uygur-debates-libertarian-wayne-a|wingut Wayne Allyn Root>. Now it was conservative blogger S.E. Cupp's turn. I'd love to know what happened at the end of this, but it appears she hung up on Cenk.

Cupp is pushing her new book "Losing Our Religion, The Liberal Media's Attack on Christianity"...

Cenk asks Cupp for specific examples of how the media has a liberal bias and she starts out by exaggerating how many people attended the tea party rallies, which Cenk calls her out for.

Cenk disputed her claim that the media is liberal by pointing out that MSNBC fired Phil Donohue for his stance on the Iraq invasion and they wouldn't allow Jesse Ventura on the air either and her response is to say that the entire country was behind invading Iraq. When Cenk tells her she's wrong she tells him that "he was the only one" against invading Iraq.

I guess this numbnut wasn't paying much attention to all of those millions of people who were protesting against the war back then. Jebus what an idiot!...

Then she moves on to complaining about US News and World Report doing a story on Joe Biden getting ashes on Ash Wednesday as an example of media bias against Christians, which makes no sense as Cenk points out. As an opposing example on how the media covers conservative politicians and their religious views, she complains that anyone in the media dared to point out Sarah Palin's encounters with a witch doctor which she calls a lie....

1. If you haven't seen this yet, do yourself a favor and watch it.

A truly beautiful bit of pwnage by Cenk.

4. I heard S. E. Cupp was on REAL TIME

with Bill Mauer this weekend, but missed it.

[ihavenobias]

16. I saw it.

I thought she'd get ripped to shreds more, but to be fair someone said she was clobbered in the after-show.

[smokey nj]

5. Cenk was great!

[JohnWxy]

6. RECOMMENDED.

[CLANG]

7. S.E. has a new look!

Prior Fox Blond Bimbo look:


The Intellectual look

[underpants]

15. The only explanation for her career is "Another voice in the choir"

ala Byron York, Jonah Goldberg, Malkin, etc.

[hootinholler]

8. I'll have to check it out tonight. n/t

9. SE Cupp is a joke.

She claims to be an atheist, but clearly is just a religious Republican. Even her sartorial choices seem contrived and affected. Aside from the weakness of her 'points' she is just a hot media mess.

10. Good Call

"A hot media mess" is right on. I saw her for the first time on the RTWBM panel and she's a jaw-dropping joke.

While doing a search to find which rock she slithered out from under, I found some video stills of her many previous makeovers, which lack only a bright pink mowhawk and blackface. This week's look is the metropsychotic Lois Lane. She represents Straussian nonsense gone wild, and we will likely see more of her.

12. If she's an atheist, I'm a fucking supermodel.

[libodem]

11. Hot mess

reminds me of the time I was trying to hold on to a kitten who was determined to get out of my ten year old clutches. I gave a little swat on the back leg and it gushed out a volcano of diarrhea all over my lap. That cat knew it wanted down.

[pleah]

13. K&R

[theFrankFactor]

14. She's a wingnut shill - no glass in those glasses - no brain in that head

Maher got her number in overtime - "I think I can see your next book-Finding my religion." (paraphrase)

She constantly refers to god as Him and He. A real shit bird.

[ihavenobias]

18. As a nontheist I've always been amused by that.

Really, God has genitals?

[Turborama]

17. K&R Thanks for this and the link to the full interview

As I mentioned earlier, the "liberal media" meme she's continuing means any news outlet that isn't Faux. She is one of their regular contributors, so it's hardly surprising.

[Neron616]

19. Awwwww!

But she's such a NICE girl! :sarcasm:

21. People like this woman should simply be ignored

there is no place in life for fucking stupid idiots who use religion as a blundgeon.

the truth is, fundamentalist christians have NOTHING to say of any importance about American life, democracy, the way we plan our future...

they are the problem and deserve to be shunned.

22. More from the culture where outright lies are not only acceptible- but rewarded

Where does it stop with Americans?

Seems that people think it's their god given right to spread outright objective falsehoods.
