Has SNL become a mouthpiece for the Clinton campaign?

[Unsane]

:shrug:

Saw the sketches last night and more of the same: Poor Hillary is a victim of the big bad media, Obama doesn't know what he's talking about etc. What gives?

[washingdem]

1. The biggest problem is it's not funny anymore

[Gore1FL]

7. SNL hasn't been funny

since the 1970s

[ScottS]

41. true

[mudesi]

2. Yes

But in the end it's all about comedy.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

3. No; it's a comedy show. And not a very good one, any more.

Anyhow, aren't the Big MSM people against Hillary?

[Cha]

14. Is the m$$$m lying about

hilary? Or are they reporting facts for a change?

[Upton]

4. Obviously

but who cares?

[casus belli]

5. Well, they are both comedies. >:)

Yeah that's right...I said it.

And before the flames burn ever higher, just having a little good-hearted fun folks.

[Faygo Kid]

6. Yep. Sad.

Maybe the writers should have stayed on strike.

What a pathetic show that was last night, and not just the Hillary stuff.

[niceypoo]

43. Awwwww, ya mean they dont bow and scrape to St Obama?

Just how can that be???!!?

Whats next? The sunday comix are out to get Obama?

[Yael]

8. Lorne Michaels is the new lead campaign strategist

[ElsewheresDaughter]

9. throw SNL under that god damn Obama Bus and be done with it!

[Unsane]

10. Thanks. Now go play with your blocks.

[Forkboy]

11. I know huh? It's like Kennedy, Dean and the ones tossed under the Clinton bus!

[ElsewheresDaughter]

19. I have yet to see any threads or Clinton people say despairing word about Ted , Dean or Kerry?

[JVS]

22. You were not paying very good attention the day Teddy endorsed Obama.

Go check out Madfloridians thread about Dean's interview today if you want to see him badmouthed.

[ElsewheresDaughter]

26. sorry but, .I was paying very close attention & I did not see any hate not like the Hillary hate

[JVS]

27. That wasn't a question it was a fact. You were not paying attention.

Ted was called terrible things.

[Raine]

30. I saw them and it was

some of the most vile things I have ever seen posted here in the DU. :mad: Those posts were truly hateful, absolutely disgusting.:-(

[Raine]

28. You must have missed the posts then that

called Teddy a drunk and all the redredging of the death of Mary Jo Kopeckne. It was as bad as anthing you would've seen at the freak republic. :-(

[ElsewheresDaughter]

29. I 'm sure that they were made by the throngs of newly emerged cicadas here to troll.

[Raine]

31. I hope that's who it was

cause I would hate to think long time members here would post such terrible things.

[Forkboy]

32. Well, now you have.

Howard Dean needs to step down immediately.

Kennedy has no credibility on this issue

He's as guilty as the rest of the Senate Dems who have done nothing to fight for a Dem agenda or do anything to help African Americans.

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_topic&forum=132&topic_id=4120817#4124882

Kennedy and Emmanuel can STFU

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_topic&forum=132&topic_id=4120817#4128533

Yeah, just what I want is to be endorsed by someone who couldn't make a single smart decision during his entire presidential campaign and ended up getting schooled by an imbecile.

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_topic&forum=132&topic_id=4042849

Six flip flops on one issue? Kerry could do that in 1/10'th of an issue.

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_topic&forum=132&topic_id=4042849

He's the King of Flip and Flop!

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_topic&forum=132&topic_id=4042849#4042930

He dissed Kerry on purpose just so he wouldn't get endorsed by the flip flop man. Who wants to get jinxed this early in the primaries?

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_topic&forum=132&topic_id=4042849#4042945

No one but progressives cares about Ted Kennedy, and most Americans hate him.

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_topic&forum=132&topic_id=3958502#3958514

Ted is remembered for being the Senator who got away with murder, and for running around drunk with no pants

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_topic&forum=132&topic_id=4231305

when i think of baggage i think Mary Jo Kepechne

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_topic&forum=132&topic_id=4231305#4231446



And this doesn't include the two Chappaquiddick posts that I saw that ended up deleted.

I look forward to your response.

[ElsewheresDaughter]

33. I see 3 hateful post and 2 of them were made by new cicadas ..the others were simple debate

[Forkboy]

34. LOL....shocking answer from you. Who would have guessed?

Either way, now you've seen three that you hadn't seen. You're welcome.

[Forkboy]

12. No, it's just an unfunny show.

[niceypoo]

44. Kind of like a sour grape?

[Forkboy]

46. Not, just like an unfunny show.

I'm not an Obama supporter. I was for Kucinich and then Edwards. SNL just isn't very funny, and hasn't been for decades now. Amy Poehler is awesome but wasted (see the Upright Citizens Brigade, where she shines).

Seeing things through much of a prism are you?

[Cooley Hurd]

13. To understand SNL in 2008 is to understand Lorne Michaels...

Lorne makes his fortune off the talent he sucks the life, talent and career from. He's no longer "hip." He's a bloodsucking corporcrat who is always watchful of his bottom line. The starving writer from Laugh-In has found "his" and could give a crap about "yours."

SNL's spirit died with Belushi and Michael O'Donoghue. Sorry, but it's true...

[From The Left]

15. Tina Fey is on the HRC payroll

[MonkeyFunk]

25. I doubt that's true

plus, she's not with SNL anymore. Try to keep up.

[AZBlue]

36. I doubt it's true too. Clinton could never afford Tina Fey.

[MonkeyFunk]

37. Really?

What do you think Lorne MIchaels was paying her?

[AZBlue]

49. I'd bet it's more than what Clinton staffers are paid - but Clinton couldn't even pay them.

So what exactly is your stance here? First you said she's not on the payroll, now you're arguing that she could be on the payroll. WTF?

[ccharles000]

16. i love SNL

Hillary rocks :yourock:

[rug]

17. Yes. Why don't you write to Wheel of Fortune? They're endorsing next week.

[Mimosa]

18. Has SNL become a mouthpiece for the Clinton campaign?

YES.

And the show has had it's most lame season ever. That's quite an achievement. None of their current cast members are funny. Over the past decade the only talented cast members IMO have been Maya Rudolph, Darrel Hammond and Will Farrel.

[rodeodance]

20. Ha ha---you are just jealous--she got lots of good rerun coverage today. Good on Hillary!

[splat]

21. You mean one media outlet didn't fall under Obama's spell? Shocking!

[redstate_democrat]

23. I saw the clips

and I must say that the sketches were really just not funny at all.

[Auntie Bush]

24. The truth?

[AlinPA]

35. Yes, that cartoon about Obama was not funny and after watching it,

it sure looks like an anti-Obama piece. I know its a comedy show, but that cartoon was very peculiar.

[ScottS]

42. exactly

[AlinPA]

47. Welcome, ScottS.

[Johnny__Motown]

38. They need to use up this material while they can. soon Clinton is old news,

[TexasObserver]

39. Yes, SNL is now shilling for Hillary, and I'm done with them.

Turned it off when the cartoon came on.

Enough. This season was a stinker before the writer's strike. Since they came back, even worse.

Fred Armisen as a vapid, piss poor Obama?! Wigga, please!

I'm done with SNL and 30 Rock. See if Tina Fey et al. can drag in Hillary voters to watch her shows. Like Hillary, they'll be in the rearview mirror by next weekend.

[ScottS]

40. sure seems that way

[TheDeathadder]

45. Give me a break

what about when Obama was on SNL early in the Primary around Iowa. He went to a costume party as himself because he's that real. I didn't hear any complaints then.

[stillcool]

48. Lorne Michaels...

is obviously a big supporter. I don't see anything wrong with that.
