You’re right! But I also don’t give a ****You probably couldn't even begin to describe my political opinions if a dinner at The Big Cheese with Billy Cohen, The Feast and Uncle Puke was on the line.
You’re right! But I also don’t give a ****
Jones is funny. But I can only take his schtick for 10 minutes or so.
How many times is Billy Cohen going to go back to the "Miami" documentary well? Multiple cocaine cowboy movies. Multiple "The U" movies. Now he's pimping his Balco-steroid-A-Rod movie like steroids in baseball isn't a twenty year old topic. Is his next flick going to be a behind the scenes look at the production of Scarface? I believe I saw he released a live action dramatic production about *surprise* Cocaine Cowboy, Rivi Ayala. How many times can one filmmaker regurgitate the same content?

Worked out pretty well for Scorsese--how many NY-related and/or mob-related movies has he put out? Not comparing Corben to Scorsese (the latter's done a helluva lot of other things over the course of a 55-year career), but if it works, you keep going back to it.
Dave Barry & Carl Hiaasen kind of did the same but at least they were occasionally funny/interesting as they went to the South Florida moneytree for the thousandth time.
Cohen comes off as a smug little guy that thinks he's above everything he incorrectly describes Miami was and is. There's nothing worse than someone that wants to be the face of something/somewhere that thinks he's better than that thing or place and is the self-appointed conduit to tell its story to the rest of the "normal" world. Probably explains his friendship with Lebatard.

The only thing ridiculous is you not acknowledging that I said that I personally don't think he's alt-right or understanding why some* people MIGHT think he is at a cursory glance when they see him buddying around with Alex Jones or not pushing back on Milo or Gavin McInnes as hard as he does on other issues. These are the poster boys of that "movement" so of course it's going to resonate.
You're also not acknowledging that white nationalism is the lifeblood of the alt-right so Rogan being "liberal" on economic policies, etc doesn't exactly run counter to the garbage that Milo and other spew.
And I reiterate that I don't think Rogan is anything more than a little too negligent sometimes in how he handles his intellectual curiosity. So calm down and let me know when Adam Carolla or Bill Burr is on his show again.
So because Rogan is white and male and doesn't "push back" he is secretly hiding his white nationalistic tendencies.
Makes sense.
Something tells me the foundation you think you're standing on is really a pile of ****. I hope you look down at some point.
LOL @ a COMEDIAN being negligent regarding ANY of these issues as if he is intellectually capable of engaging all of these individuals as an "expert" in :insert topic here:.
The guy lets these people talk and WE the audience can determine the veracity of their positions. He's had 1300 interviews and the guys you named account for what? 6 of them? Keep failing.
just waiting for the same energyThis is going to be good.
Jesu Christo, bro.
A) We're obviously not going to agree here.
B) If you actually read my comments you'd have seen that I've defended Rogan's own personal views/intellectual curiosity. The worst thing I've said about your hero is that he might be sometimes negligent with his pretty large platform.
C) The comedian card is lame one to play. It was lame when Jon Stewart played it. It's lame when Bill Maher plays it. These guys are all in the marketplace of ideas and the standard should just be a tad higher than what me might assign to Kevin Hart's standup routine.
6 interviews out of 1300 and you're the one pushing broad strokes. Come back with some substance. We can wait it is the offseason.
I'd be saying the same thing if it was 6 interviews with Farrakhan out of whatever # you want to throw out there. Especially if Rogan then decided it was okay to go and appear on whatever platform Farrakhan has. The quantity of podcasts he's done is essentially irrelevant here.
And you act like I'm smearing the guy personally. Like I said, I just wish he would've drawn the line with Alex Jones after 1 interaction with him- max.
Silly post remains silly. Joe called out Alex on the last interview they had and multiple times once he learned of the Sandy Hook nonsense. Alex repeatedly apologized for it. At some point people need to be forgiven for idiocy. Alex Jones is not the smartest apple to fall off the tree but he has been right about some other things too.
See your issue is you think conversations do not need to take place. That points of view, as crazy as they may be, need to be pushed into the dark. You fight idiocy with intelligence and conversation within an open forum. Rogan might be a lot of things but that is what he attempts to do.
You clearly do not have any semblance of facts and enjoy engaging in conversations with a level of ignorance that is comical. Go enjoy your safe space and the rest of us will handle adulting.
With all due respect, your willingness to have a "conversation" with Sandy Hook truthers (especially after their faux apologies) says more about you than me.
Sure, sunlight is the best antiseptic but some viewpoints and people and theories are so vile that they just shouldn't be dignified even if the effort is to disprove.
As far as "safe spaces", I know that's a cute little term to attack librulz with (of which I absolutely am not) but the REAL safe spaces are those in which no ideas or people or insane theories are allowed to be shunned or called out for the trash that they are.
Go ahead and put on your big boy pants. You can call Alex Jones an opportunist scumbag taking advantage of the dupes that comprise his audience without rational people saying you're squashing free speech. Trust me. It'll be okay. Nobody will hurt you or say mean things.
I'll never watch InfoWars, but Alex Jones getting okey doked into getting high, drinking to excess and talking about Human-Alien Hybrid conspiracy theories is f'n hilarious and mandatory viewing.
Yeah, but not for four hours. Unless you’re getting high and drunk at the same time.
