Comedian Jon Lovitz is mad at Barack Obama for his tax policies. The former Saturday Night Live comic is not happy about Occupy Wall Street either, as Jon Lovitz made an Anti-Obama rant. Lovitz was doing a podcast from his own comedy club with host Kevin Smith called ′The ABC′s of SNL′ when he went off on a tirade about paying half of of income in taxes. Admitting to being a Democrat and having voted for Obama, Jon Lovitz seems to be regretting his choice. ′This whole thing with Obama saying the rich don′t pay their taxes is fxxxing bullsxxt, and I voted for the guy and I′m a Democrat.′ Could it be that Lovitz, whose character Tommy Flanagan from SNL was a pathological liar, may be thinking that the United States has a pathological liar for president?
Ah, yes! This is an old story. It is fine and dandy when you can impose your will upon others, but when the hand of brute force grips your own shoulder, then you become remorse. This is the ultimate fate of all Liberals. Take for example how the staff of the New York Times produced a six-minute video complaining about how their employers are reducing benefits and retirement pay. You would think that they would be happy to redistribute their wealth so that fewer workers are laid off. So that more workers already retired can still enjoy their nice, fat pensions and benefits.
But the grim reality of economics is that such is unsustainable. Liberals like to complain about eating unsustainable foods. But when they themselves are denied the fruits of their labor, well, that is a different kettle of fish. Eventually comes the Day of Reckoning and the piper must be paid. For Liberals, they are beginning to learn the hard truth that Obama wants to redistribute income from everybody, not just greedy corporate bigwigs flying around in private jets.
So listen, if you dare, to the audio of Jon Lovitz bashing Barack Obama about taxes. The Jon Lovitz anti-Obama rant has since become viral. Be forewarned there are many f-bombs in the whole thing. Kevin Smith tried his best to stop the SNL comic from getting the Occupy Wall Street people mad, but it did not work. The Saturday Night Live comedian, famous for many characters, including the pathological liar, Tommy Flanagan, thinks the United States might be better off if Obama was not reelected. I agree!

The pathological liar, Tommy Flanagan is back. Must have been to a Tea Party and some one slipped him a mickey . Jon Lovitz is a great comic, but he needs to get his facts straight. maybe even take a true history of banking course. This has little to do with Obama. It’s all accross the board.
Don’t blame those who occupy wall street. talk to the traders on NYSE and the trillions, yes trillians, in those derivatives markets. and it’s Hard to fight the power, that being the big private banks and their ambassador banks. he who controls the money issuance, controls governments. It ’s so much bigger than Jons eronious statement that he pays 50% in taxes..get a new accountant.
We are all going to pay for the money policies of The central banks. Almost 100 years of the Federal Reserve… Having fun with fractional reserve banking

If Stalin was alive today Right Pundits would publish his bs with equal enthusiasm. Jon Lovitz? Who? Oh, I get it. Name recognition, Jon, for google/bing queries.
I’m looking forward to the results of the Nov election.

Rich, last time I did the math, whew!, was in 2008 and it was 64 trillion world wide. Geez I wonder why it all went south? No pun intended.
April 25th, 2012 at 4:00 am
Actually, in 2008, the derivatives market was about $700 Trillion dollars, globally. $64 Trillion is about the size of the world’s ‘brick-and-mortar’ GDP.

According to Jay Leno, Republicans are better at comedy than Democrats. We don’t mind poking fun at ourselves and are more open to doing humor. Sorry, Klo, but once again, you are WRONG!
April 25th, 2012 at 5:39 pm
Let’s see that list of conservative comedians again.
Let’s see, there is that guy on the “hit” show the Five, what is his name?
Oh, and Dennis Miller, although I think his heart is not really in it, he just needed to pay the rent.
Umm…then there is..umm.
Jay Leno says? When is the last time anybody watched that show? I suppose since his “act” only plays in middle markets now he would think that Republicans have a better sense of humor.
Now headlining at Branson, Jay Leno.
April 25th, 2012 at 6:10 pm
I think you are missing the mark, Buzz. Funny conservatives get real jobs in corporate America where they can close deals that make the world a better place. Liberals don’t know how to get real jobs so they end up trying show business, waiting on tables, or teaching our poor children.
April 25th, 2012 at 11:25 pm
Jay Leno in that same interview said “nobody is funnier than Colbert and John Stewart” but that Leno tries to appeal to a wider audience.
According to Jay Leno, Republicans are better at comedy than Democrats. We don’t mind poking fun at ourselves and are more open to doing humor. Sorry, Klo, but once again, you are WRONG!
Andrew, Andrew, Andrew.. You are quite wrong as usual. What he said was that on his show, that is, the Tonight Show, Republican politicians were more open to making fun of themselves than Democratic politicans. How you extend that to him suggesting that Republicans are funnier, or that even Republican politicians are funnier… no, it’s just that Republicans laugh at themselves more. I suspect Democrats laugh at Republicans more too.
His comment, which you should check, is at 5:18 of the video on the “Press Pass” at the meet the press web site, which I guess you’ll have to Google yourself.
So yeah, Republicans make better butts of jokes than Democrats, and everyone agrees with that.
As for looking to Jay Leno as an authority of comedy– I should point out he’s a Democrat– a smart and hard working guy, but not the most edgy comic any more. His show is targeted towards a sleepy audience looking for harmless entertainment before they fall asleep.
Anyway, if you hadn’t taken out of context and completely misunderstood and/or misrepresented the quote, I would probably have been disappointed. So way to go, Andrew.
April 26th, 2012 at 12:00 am
. Liberals don’t know how to get real jobs so they end up trying show business, waiting on tables, or teaching our poor children.
Hmmm.. this invites a closer look at McCain. What “real job” do you have… hmmm… there’s a bio, right?
Patrick McCain holds advanced degrees in Business and Economics from the University of California.
A BA, right? Because if it was anything more “advanced” than an undergrad degree, you would have said so. Oh, wait, “Advanced degrees“? Does having a minor in economics (so you took what, four or five classes?) count as a second degree these days, or do you just like putting “S”s at the end of random words for fun?
He is a published author and historian.
Do tell. Do my comments here make me “published” as well? And a historian too! (See pantsing below)
His political philosophy is that of a libertarian in the tradition of John Stewart Mills, or more recently Barry Goldwater.
Now THIS is funny. First of all because there’s no “s” at the end of John Stewart Mill, and since he’s your personal idol, you should probably know how to spell his name. (Hmm. I guess you *DO* put an S at the end of things at random…)
Second, and even more hilarious, John Stewart Mill was a utilitarian– his ethical system was based on belief that what is morally right ultimately depends on what action (or rule) creates the “greatest good (or happiness) for the greatest number”. This is hardly a libertarian philosophy- it’s the near opposite. In fact, a strict interpretation of utilitarianism, which Mill held, lead to his support of such anti-libertarian political systems as despotism when it is in the best interest of the greatest number of people. He also supported what you’d probably call “redistribution” of wealth if it provided the best outcome.
In fact, and this is where it gets really good, Mill is considered a forerunner of political liberalism, for goodness’ sake! He thought workers should elect their managers! He believed that the government could interfere with personal and political freedoms, which he otherwise supported (having written “On Liberty”), in order to promote the greatest outcome. His principal of the “harm principal” w/regard to personal freedoms is one of the foundational tenets of modern american liberal political philosophy.
If you choose to ignore Mill’s utilitarianism, for which he is most famous and why he is best known to history, and simply to call him a “libertarian”, then you’ve no idea who Mill was and do not understand him or his legacy whatsoever. He and Jeremy Bentham together are considered the fathers of utilitarianism.
It’s outstandingly and profoundly stupid– akin to saying “One of my heroes is Thomas Jefferson… because he was a great cook.” What?
(or did you just drop his name there without knowing anything about him because you thought it would make you seem smart?)
As for Barry Goldwater…. he too was a bleeding heart liberal compared to you. But I’ll save that for another post.
McCain, you, like Andrew Z, regularly do not know what you are talking about. You don’t seem to be smart enough to understand your own incompetence, so I am going to try to lay it out for you again. For your own sake, and for the sake of your name and reputation, stop posting and positing uninformed opinions. Get out a book or two and start learning stuff before you continue to embarrass yourself.
For giggles, I should read everyone’s bio in that “About Us” section. Are they all as a$$-backwards ignorant as yours?
April 26th, 2012 at 4:29 am
I think we should also have a bio for ‘Me’:
Annoying, nitpicking, Liberal fool who cannot get a gig writing a blog himself. So he spends his day posting comments to seek attention. Fortunately, his mother keeps him well supplied with Cheetos and Internet access in his basement bedroom, where he has been living for the past 40 years.
April 26th, 2012 at 6:41 am
Oh, ‘Me’, you miss a crucial point. Jon (not John) Stewart and Stephen Colbert are NOT politicians! Leno described how when GW Bush came to his show and was game for anything, whereas Al Gore was nitpicking, just like YOU! True, Leno is a Demoncrat (deliberately misspelled) but that only makes his opinion on this matter all the more authentic. Leno may be a Democrat, but he is a comic first, and is at least polite enough to recognize and acknowledge superior humor when he sees it.
April 26th, 2012 at 7:14 am
‘Me’ is not nitpicking! He’s making you guys look like the ignorant fools that you are. Again ‘Me’ wipes the floor with the idiots here at RP, reducing you guys to drooling idiots who now have to resort to childish 5th grade cut-downs.

A “gig” writing for a blog is the Internet equivalent of waiting tables. Not that there’s anything at all wrong with waiting tables (I would find it very very difficult), but if you’re going to be in that business, you would think you’d get good at it over time. Every day, you and McCain do the equivalent of forgetting orders, switching them with other tables, dropping dishes, spitting in the food, tripping over yourselves, and then blaming the customers when you dont’ get the inflated tip you think you deserve.
You’re right– it’s “Jon Stewart”, not “John”.. it was 3am, and I had been writing about “John Stuart Mill” so I instinctively added a letter. <– Here's what *I* do in the face of facts. I acknowledge my mistake, and if I could correct the typo, I would. But because this web site is run on software from 1995, I can't.
Pointing out that Mill was a utilitarian and heavily influential on modern liberal political philosophy is hardly "nitpicking". It's not a typo. McCain could have listed ANYONE in his bio and he picked perhaps the most well-known early liberal of the 19th century. That's not nitpicking, it's hilarious.
As for Leno, you STILL don't get it. Leno was talking about politicians' willingness to laugh at themselves. That's it. He wasn't talking about whether they are funnier or not. He said nothing about "superior humor". He also said nothing about non-politicians. I will be the first to agree that it's generally easier to laugh at Republican politicians than Democratic ones. But as far as whether Republican "civilians" (non-politicians) are funnier than Democrats generally… Republicans on this site have very little sense of humor, as it requires skills like perspective, understanding sarcasm, irony, and the ability to draw a distinction between reality and the absurd. Quite a lot of your postings are hilarious, but I don’t think it was intentional.
April 26th, 2012 at 1:42 pm
Yawn! A rather pathetic rebuttal, ‘Me’. The old “3am’ excuse? You Democrats sure like to talk a lot about 3am. Is that the Liberal witching hour, when you all turn into pumpkins or mice? Hillary and Obama are always expecting somebody to call them at 3am. I can see Hillary maybe getting stray phone calls from Bill’s girlfriends. Maybe Obama getting calls from Reggie Love or his crack dealer.
April 26th, 2012 at 5:15 pm
You added an h to John, thereby mistakenly spelling it in its more common form?
Well, that negates your entire argument.
April 26th, 2012 at 5:25 pm
I’m sorry– is it bad to nitpick about grammar or is it good? I do appreciate the change of subject of course. I would too if I were you.
So let’s go with it. I added an extra “h” in Jon Stewart’s name when writing about John Stuart Mill. So, let’s see here…
The old “3am’ excuse?
Not to nitpick, but you mismatched your quotes.
Is that the Liberal witching hour, when you all turn into pumpkins or mice?
There is no need to capitalize “liberal”. There is an extraneous comma there too.
Maybe Obama getting calls from Reggie Love or his crack dealer.
This sentence fragment no verb.
You see? THAT is nitpicking. And it’s easy. Like adding an “s” to John Stuart Mill- that’s a nitpick. It’s only funny because it’s McCain’s site profile, and Mill is supposed to be McCain’s political inspiration, so you’d think it would be spelled right.
But yeah, that kind of nitpicking is silly– anyone can make a typo. Grammar doesn’t count for much online. No, what’s mind-blowingly funny is that McCain would cite Mill in the first place, for the reasons described above. And Goldwater too, who would be horrified by the lack of intellectual honesty and amateurish nonsense that passes for so-called “conservative” reasoning in the articles on this site. I’ve read “Conscience of a Conservative” and it’s a powerful, well-argued book. It’s worthy of discussion, and it’s a serious work for setting up a policy framework, both domestic and foreign. I dont’ agree with much of it, but it’s not unreasonable.
What you and McCain represent is the intellectual equivalent of the guy on TV who paints his face with his team colors and screams “GO MY TEAM!!!” at the top of his lungs. You have barely any understanding of why one team is better than the other– you simply have decided your team is “better” and, having concluded that, try to scrounge together some evidence to meet your pre-determined conclusion, no matter how utterly idiotic or manufactured it is. You don’t even know the rule or the facts, let alone the history of the game.
But you are so far off the reservation that there’s apparently no going back. You’re committed. You’ll just huddle together in the rainstorm with your like-minded friends and convince yourself that whatever you want to be true, actually is. Somewhere deep down you must know you are manufacturing your own reality, but I guess people are capable of blocking out all kinds of things, so there you go. And so long as you can be so manipulated, the people whose interests you are actually benefitting are happy to encourage you to keep it up.
The situation on this site is pretty dire. Funny. But also dangerous as hell to the country.

No, buzzbee, what negates the argument of ‘Me’ and verifies that he is a nitpicker is the length of his comments. NOBODY CARES if there is an extra h or s or if there is some minor error in grammar! NOBODY!!! This is why we Republicans are more humorous than Democrats. We are not BORING!
