Opinion The idiocy of John oliver

[Prutfis]

He is mostly annoying as fuck but once in a while he does raise some good points.

His "fuck you Bob" song was awesome.

The laughable thing is people turning to comedians for political insight.

It has been that way for a long time. It’s more entertaining than the news. I watch him just to disagree with him

I had met and even been fed by Bob a couple times. I found him pretty repulsive but he seemed to like me.

I can't stand John Oliver for the simple fact that he makes a living criticizing a country that he's not from, but made him rich and famous. I absolutely think he has the right to do it, but I still think it's tacky as fuck. The same goes for Trevor Noah.

He is a test as well. If you hate this country, go back to where you are from

Ah the new age liberal way of thinking. Justify crime when it's something they believe in and protect said criminals in the name of social justice.

They're not only shitting on the systems of America, but now they're expanding to the rest of the world.

It’ll swing back the other way soon.
See what 2022 midterms bring.

A lot of centrist Dems will have had enough and will flip to Republican.

He has American children and an American wife. He's got every reason to stay.

John oliver is propaganda and woke drivel trying to masquerade as comedy and failing horribly. You have to be some sub 80 iq woke retard to watch him regularly. Even watching small clips from him kills a good chunk of brain cells.

In this golden age of entertainment you choose to spend your time on something that you know will only piss you off?

It's the War Room special. Righties watch way more leftwing media than the leftist posters do.

I am personally a bit mixed on this issue, other than to say that a country has a right to defend itself from attacks and retaliate, but the retaliation should be focused so that it does not indiscriminately kill innocent civilians such as the children. This issue is more complicated than this idiot claims with his issue being “it’s not a fair fight.” Well, then don’t start the fight, Palestine.

Everyone talks about Israel's right to defend itself but does the same go for the Palestinians? Do they have a right to defend themselves when they're being forced out of their homes?

 

[jefferz]

He uses strawmen more than almost any other media personality. Especially with his police segments. He will pick an issue, show only the worst example, and apply it to police as a whole.

He just did it with the stand your ground laws last night. He does it constantly using the worst optics to examine a situation

He was spot on when he did the episode about oil companies in ND not being held responsible for negligence.
One of the people he talked about in that episode was one of my best friends. I seen first hand how the oil companies weaseled out of compensating his wife for his death.

 

[MicroBrew]

all of his shows are dishonest. He will take a terrible incident or bad police shooting and pretend it is representative of the 900+k cops in the country. If he hates this country so much, he knows where the door is

So just a few bad apples then?

Funny how the Blue line crowd, and the rightwing in general , has no problem saying the BLM movement is racist, bad, terrorist, Marxist , violent etc... even though the actual % of BLM protests that devolved into violence is around 6%, and that is using a broad definition of what constitutes violent protesting.

 

[Trotsky]

Self-interested cop calls someone much more knowledgeable than him an idiot for daring to criticize police and anti-American for examining issues affecting America.

Don't you all know that true patriots embrace their country's problems and side fiercely and loyally with existing power? That's why the Founding Fathers were so fiercely loyal to the Crown. Taxation without representation? Oh, tread on me, daddy.

Also, no one says Syria has a right to defend itself when Israel keeps attacking it, unprovoked.

is he a comedian though? he dabbles I know, but wtf do we officially call him?

And telling someone to 'go back to where they came from' or leave America is such a rightwing cliche. I see this often on rightwing sites, where commenters expect liberals or Blacks or anyone else opposed to rightwing sympathies to leave America if they don't like it here.

 

[Fugazy]

He’s not lying at all. As the good officer pointed out he takes the most extreme examples and runs with them. That’s not lying.

Purposefully misrepresenting issues is sooo much better.

 

[I am your real dad]

The mans definitely not the sharpest wit in the room, to put it mildly.
