EMBED

GREG GUTFIELD (host): Pelosi claimed that she won -- or we won last night. Was she right?

BREITBART: Yes, she was. She was right. There's no doubt about it. Having lost New Jersey, which is the most comically Democrat state in the history of humankind, that's a huge victory for you, Nancy Pelosi. I will -- can I go back to the cats?

GUTFIELD: Yes, you can. I know -- I can tell you don't care about the actual elections. You care about the cats.

BREITBART: What do I care? What do I care? You know what I -- where I stand on -- I want there to be an impeachment, and I want Andy Levy to go after me at the halftime report for my wanting Obama impeached.

      I have tuned into this show a few times and I just don't "get" what it is all about. Juvenile "humour" posing as "hip" comedy? I can't take anything said on it seriously, including Breitbart's "impeachment" quip. I don't like the guy, but even assuming he is serious at all, where does he see "high crimes and misdemeanors" attibutable to this President?
      Breitbert is such a joke himself, he belongs on this show. Unless I have missed it elsewhere, I'll reserve my outrage until I see him call for impeachment in a serious forum.

        On Quinn this morning, he mentioned that the after-Birthers and how he is afraid that we cannot remove Obama because, as he spins it, the indoctrination of the kids. Looks like the election is over so bring back Orly Taint.

        If you get a chance and want to hear real lunacy in action...at about the 5 minute mark of the second hour, Quinn and the idiot Rosie start playing clips of the school children songs which they have on tape..after the first one which is inaudible, the Phony Christian Rosie the Idiot reads the words and guess what, there is nothing wrong with them. Later in the segment, she complains of the music used and calls Obama the anti-Christ a few times.
        Quinn attributes her hate to being in menopause but her hatred and ignorance start way before this physical change.

        If you need a laugh to start your day, that 10 minute segment is a must(espcecially after that first song).

          Eleven MORE tapes of our school kids being indoctrinated with Obamanizm. And no outcry from the MSM? Imagine if the same had occurred with Bush or C. Rice or, Heaven forbid Cheney! Bush couldn’t even GO to an elementary school without the Left Wing Press criticizing him!

          As I’ve so rightfully said so many times, the hypocrisy exhibited on the Left and MSM (redundant) is breathtaking. Thank God 80% of Americans ID themselves as something other then liberal.

          Mmmm, mmmm, mmmm.

            It did happen with Bush, idiot.

            And, blaming Obama for actions done by teachers WITH THE PERMISSION OF PARENTS shows your complete lack of intelligence and objectivity.

            Guess what? I'm one of the 40% who considers myself "conservative," but I CERTAINLY don't identify myself with idiots like you. You aren't a conservative, you just hate people.

            you have a bit of a problem.......using breitbart as a source...he is a credible source...just a shill period. further evidenced by the fact he is calling for the president to be impeached, which there is nothing done by this president that would warrant such action.

            on the other hand there were plenty of reasons to impeach president bush. just off the top of my head...lying us into a war in iraq, torturing prisioners, creating extra legal tribunals outside of our justice system.

            There was never any response to anything that President Bush did that even comes close to resembling the orchestrated, never-ending, day-in and day-out attacks on president Obama. I'm not a big Obama fan, I think he is letting us down in many ways. But his performance so-far is not worthy of the vitriol being leveled at him. It's nasty. It's personal. And most of it is based upon conjecture, unsubstantiated rumor and outright fabrication. President Obama was elected by a sizeable margin, certainly more than any margin President Bush received. No matter how much you many not like Obama or his policies, you can't simply overturn his election. That may be THE most unAmerican thing anyone could attempt to do. It is almost as though the anti-Obama forces are trying to completely undermine the American democratic process. And you call yourselves "Patriots"? I would remind you that we are a nation of laws. The "rule of law", which rightwingers love to refer to, is pretty clear about acts of sedition. The distribution of misinformation designed to stoke the fears of an angry mini-minority and incite them into bringing weapons to locations where President Obama is speaking comes perilously close to sedition.

        Briebart is so incredibly witless and stupid that this garbage is not even worth refuting.

        "ON WHAT GROUNDS?" They never can seem to answer that question, can they? Even if his policies WERE wildly unpopular, the way to remove a sitting president is through ELECTIIONS. Vote him out, if you can. In the meantime, you're stuck with him for four years. So SUCK IT UP.

        What the hell is wrong with these people?

        ----------------------------------------------------------------------
        And there's nothing funny about these witless dolts either. They wouldn't know a joke if it pushed them down a flight of stairs.

        Because the Virginia and New Jersey governor races turned out as expected, but in upstate New York, tired of conservative hacks telling them what to do, the residents voted in the first Democrat to Congress since the Civil War. This despite almost every A- and B-list Republican telling them not to. Hence FOX Propaganda's need to resume their Uncivil War. They can't spin the wins and losses to suit them, so they've gone back to just being malicious and ignorant.

              Well, the pause was quite brief while FOX stumped for candidates all from one end of the spectrum in their 'fair and balanced' coverage. That ended quickly when they didn't get the election results they were hoping for, however.

      Breitbart "want[s] there to be an impeachment" of Obama

      Breitbart is a complete nutjob! He needs to worn about his protege's Giles and O'Keffe and getting sued for the smears they been spreading.

      Plus this dumb show Red Eye is not even a news show (but what is news with FOX Snooze!) it is low budget version of "The View!"

      This from a guy who has the nerve to mock the presence of the Canadian military in Afganistan on the day when four Canadian soldiers were killed. This is not satire: satire is clever, witty, and intelligent. His show is nothing but base humor, and it's not funny.

      One must have some sort of grounds for impeachment, even CRAPPY ones. There are none.

      Why would anybody watch Greg Gutfield's show? I've tried to watch it a few times and I don't get it. No humor there at all. It's a really, really bad show.

        Well, the House managers who pushed the impeachment of Bill Clinton certainly lowered the bar in that regard. By absolutely NO stretch of the imagination were the Founding Fathers' intentions with that language met in the Clinton impeachment. That's why he was not ever "convicted" or removed.

        I'm sure that Breitbart does not understand that "impeachment" simply means accusation. In his small, hate-filled, egocentric brain, I'm sure he thinks it means "convict" and remove. It does not.

          exactly my point. given the precedent of clinton being impeached....president bush SHOULD have been impeached and removed from office.

          Two good points Bintx. You are on a roll today. (Kudos for smacking down that "indoctrination" rant a while ago.) While Clinton did lie in deposition, I think you nailed your "lowered the bar" point with "the Founding Fathers' intentions" insight.

          Thanks, bintx. It's amazing how many of the republicans/conservatives in Congress claim to carry a copy of the Constitution with them everywhere they go, and still don't know/understand what is in it and why. I think this happens because although they carry a copy of the Constitution, they have little/no knowledge of American history which is essential to understanding it.

            Just because they may carry a copy of the Constitution doesn't mean that they read it - or believe what they might have read.

      I think Breitbart was just trying to be funny. He wasn't successful but I think he thought he was. He may very well want Obama to be impeached but I wouldn't use this as evidence of that.

        You may be right, Shaggles. I've seen this show, and it's sort of the equivalent of those drum circles that guys do out in the woods when they need to grunt and scream. Are those still around?

        Crazy wingnuts who just need to vent find even the irresponsible "news" programs on Fox too confining and adult. Red Eye is where they go to get in touch with their inner toddler.
