Some people who listen to the show actually have basic understanding of current events. If you know anything about Rumsfeld he is the only one of Bushs cronies who doesn't say Iraq was a good idea. Rumsfeld says time will decide if it was.
Go see the production of Ibsens play "An Enemy of the People" What seems like a slam dunk right now actually takes fifty years to get a good answer. People thought WW2 was a good idea at the time. That's not what historians are saying now.
LOL. Find me a single reputable historian who thinks going to war against Germany and Japan was "a mistake". I'll be waiting and not holding my breath.
Sixty million people died in WW2 That's 2.5% of the worlds population all because Churchill didn't want Hitler to take over Eastern Europe and in the end Russia did and that begat the cold war. We would have never been attacked by Japan if we didn't put an oil embargo on them. Which is an act of war and that led to Communist China. Hitler and Tojo turned out to be war criminals and they were. If Allies had lost it would have been Churchill and Roosevelt. Read a history book.
Strange that you're not actually doing what I asked. Stranger still that you think that Hitler was only interested in eastern Europe and that's what got Churchill upset.
Here's an idea for you: read an actual history book not written by a revisionist.
I guess you forgot about that embarrassing power point presentation at the UN Powell gave that got us into the war in Iraq. Funny how Powell gets off without any blame when Secretary of State is the most powerful cabinet position and Rumsfeld gets the blame for Bush and Powell's decisions.
Rumsfeld gets the blame because he was Secretary of Defense. AKA the boss. Other than maybe Joint Chief in all matters military what the SofDefense says goes.
No, not forgetting that at all. Powell swallowing his misgivings and becoming an endorser for that pile of horseshit makes him a truly tragic figure.
He could have done a good thing for his country and been a lone voice of reason but, instead, to keep his job and so his friends wouldn't be mad at him, he was a team player.
In the closely fought 2008 U.S. Senate election between comedian and commentator Al Franken and incumbent Senator Norm Coleman, one of the ballots challenged by Coleman included a vote for Franken with "Lizard People" written in the space provided for write-in candidates. Lucas Davenport who later claimed to have written the gag ballot, said, "I don't know if you've heard the conspiracy theory about the Lizard Men; a friend of mine, we didn't like the candidates, so we were at first going to write in 'revolution', because we thought that was good and to the point. And then, we thought 'the Lizard People' would be even funnier."
In February 2011, on the Opie and Anthony radio show, the comedian Louis C.K. asked former U.S. Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld a number of times if he and Dick Cheney were lizard people who enjoyed the taste of human flesh. Rumsfeld did not answer the question. Louis C.K. interpreted Rumsfeld's refusal to answer as an admission and further suggested that those who are lizard people cannot lie about it; when asked if they are lizards, they either have to avoid answering the question or say yes.
That's from a clip of the Opie and Anthony show. They had a phoner with Rumsfeld and Louis C.K. was in studio. He kept asking Rumsfeld if he was a reptilian who ate babies. Rumsfeld never directly answered the question.
Edit: Really? I provide an explanation and get downvoted for it? Seems about right.
Edit 2: I'm a fucking idiot. I thought this was r/TIL.
I tell you want, you go and get your ass beat down for no apparent reason by a group of anything, and see if you don't have bad things to say about that group of people immediately after.
Because nobody here needs an explanation. This is the O&A subreddit and that is one of their most popular bits from the past decade. It's like if you came here to tell us who Chip is. What'sthat?
Actually Im a Democrat. It's just childish behavior. You get very few guest who aren't BC or D celebrities. How bout a meaningful interview. I don't get Louis CK. He's not funny. He hates his fans. He an asshole who proves it everytime he's on the show. The guy is most over rated celebrity in the business.
If you want a meaningful interview, watch an Errol Morris film instead of expecting Louis CK/O&A to be Charlie fuckin' Rose. I'm sorry that the comedian wasn't sufficiently respectful to the mass murderer for you.
Name the last US President who wasn't a mass murder. You would probably have to back to Herbert Hoover. Stop relying on MSNBS or FOX NEWS depending on which political party you worship. They both suck and are two sides of the same coin. Go read a history book.

...which shows what a slippery lizard Rumsfeld really is.
But also, actually Colin Powell was the only member of Bushco who was against it at the time...

What is this "Opie and Anthony show" you speak of? Is there a subreddit for it?
10 drsteve103 2014-07-27
Opie was a character on the "Andy Griffith Show"

Wait is that the show with that racist guy? I don't go for that stuff.

0 shaqfan99 2014-07-27
I don't follow you.
Is your point that the show sucks because Louis did stuff like that? or because he hasn't been around lately?
There's no reason to think he won't be around again.
Are you a right-wing nut that you're butthurt about Rumsfeld getting mocked?

Actually Im a Democrat. It's just childish behavior. You get very few guest who aren't BC or D celebrities. How bout a meaningful interview. I don't get Louis CK. He's not funny. He hates his fans. He an asshole who proves it everytime he's on the show. The guy is most over rated celebrity in the business.

Errol Morris what a joke. Watch Bill Mahr just destroy Morris about his Rumsfeld so called doc.

ahahaha, couldn't decide which straw man to pick so you went with both eh?
Here's a better idea, name me the last President or Secretary of Defense with a body count of a million.
