Tom Woods: Judge Napolitano Right, Daily Show Wrong, on Fugitive Slaves

Judge did great in first segment.

In second he was as good as he could be in those circumstances. "Judges" gave numbers that had nothing with questinos asked just to paint Napolitano as wrong. He challenged them on that and they shut their mouths.

I would love to see Judge (real one: Napolitano) write article about things that those hacks said.

 

[NoOneButPaul]

I love that the Judge is going out there with this but it's not an argument we're ever going to win and pretty much have to drop it for now. People are so Lincoln brainwashed it's crazy...

 

[Matt Collins]

Judge is actually short, though. Ron was comparatively short at 5'10" to Romney's 6'2", Santorum's 6'4", and Perry is 6'1", I believe. Pegging Ron at 5'10" might even be generous, using that debate photo.

I'm 5'2"

 

[Matt Collins]

Notice the debate height? One of the oldest tricks in the political rigging book.

And Lincoln wasn't stupid, because even though he towered over most people, he also wore that stupid ass hat too and for the exact same reason: it gave him a huge psychological advantage due to perceived height.

I don't know why liberty people go on that propagandist show. What they did to Schiff was disgusting and I'm glad he's pushed back, but it was only par for the course.

Nice to see John Stewart hold the judge accountable over something that happened 150 years ago, while softballing the daylights out of horrible, wretched human beings the rest of the time.

he almost makes up for his treatment of the judge in this segment, but not quite. still...a pretty good take down of feinstein. skip to 1:00.

People really think they 'rigged' the game show? It's a freakin' comedy routine. Nobody cares that much.

The 'black, female' lincoln is one of their regular correspondents used for Lincoln because it would be funny. She's tall sitting next to him to be funny. People get so worked up about nothing sometimes. This was probably just showing that revisionism is silly, based on the flare up from the Walter Block episode. Toms Woods Jr. said that the Judge was right on the returning the slaves issue, but the Judge had claimed that Lincoln *personally* ordered marshals to do so. It's a bit sad, but the Judge is so used to bombast and overstatement that something like that shouldn't be unexpected from him.

The problem is that people do care. You think the clapping seals in the audience weren't having their opinion swayed? Young people think Stewart and his show are some sort of paragon of truth when they do exact same thing as the MSM and Stewart constantly is portraying half-truths and omitting details that don't fit his narrative or don't get a cheap laugh. And people under 30 trust him for some reason when he is no different.

Who said:

“I will say then that I am not, nor ever have been in favor of bringing about in anyway the social and political equality of the white and black races – that I am not nor ever have been in favor of making voters or jurors of negroes, nor of qualifying them to hold office, nor to intermarry with white people….”

“I will say in addition to this that there is a physical difference between the white and black races which I believe will forever forbid the two races living together on terms of social and political equality. And inasmuch as they cannot so live, while they do remain together there must be the position of superior and inferior, and I, as much as any other man, am in favor of having the superior position assigned to the white race.”

I could respond with a long winded rant but I think this will suffice.

Oh builshit. Comedy Central is pure propaganda and it is intended to be so.

haha one of the oldest tricks in the book - appeal to authority. Have a panel of "experts" there to validate all the falsities you utter and it makes it a lot easier to "win" a debate. Stewart is a pretty good debater but someone needs to go on his show and really put him in his place. Schiff could do it but I doubt he'll get that chance now.

The problem is you can't put a comedian in his place. You can destroy him completely in a debate and he'll just turn it into a joke. And if you handle it poorly, the jokes on you.

It's a lose-lose situation to debate a comedian on his show if he genuinely disagrees with you and wants you too look bad.

Why does the Judge act so weird on these Daily Show appearances?

It doesn't help that he's leaning against the podium while she is standing up straight & wearing a stove-pipe hat.

Yup and Stewart is the worst offender. He wants to have it both ways with his show; he very much wants to be taken seriously and push a certain viewpoint that much is obvious, but then when he is called on his shit(like when Tucker Carlson did when Stewart went on Crossfire), he tosses up his hands and yells, "Comedian! Don't you get it?!" It's annoying.

 

[LibertyEagle]

Thing is, the judge just fed into the lie that the Civil War was mainly about slavery.

He didn't do well at all. It was rather embarrassing, in my opinion.
