The Hill: The Daily Show decided to escape the east coast winter and follow the RNC to Hawaii, where the committee is having a conference. Numerous elected Republicans have grumbled about the RNC's destination, suggesting it sends the wrong signal during a deep recession. Nevertheless, the meeting went ahead as scheduled, and Comedy Central's John Oliver was there to report the scoop.

America…and it is okay for their Nation of Islam’s Messiah to make his yearly pilgrimage to Hawaii…on our dime?

If the Republicans can afford it, they should go right into the enemies camp!

Daily is just a ‘mentally unstable’ Democratzi bootlicker!

Every time we look…Bilderberg Bush-Obama is off on another jaunt for pleasure and/or business combination…but always pleasure…because this little boy is playing house…in “our” house and he is using all our toys (planes, trains and automobiles)!

Why isn’t anyone covering bathhouse at the NY Times?
I guess the prevert pregressives don’t have much to do these days, now that they have been outed.
Someone should start following these preverts around and posting their doings, if they can stand the smell.
When Airy Amerika folded, many of these pregressives went into shock. See how they run.

Laugh track, cheesy!

I guess he must have done a real expose of the Pelosi spending to visit Copenhagen, where they paid astounding sums to book rooms, that were only occupied for half the time booked, or maybe the drunken rides on the military planes where Pelosi personally charged up a $100,000 bar tab buying liquor at fairly reasonable per bottle prices from the military in-flight store (at Px prices). Note that was paid for by the US Taxpayer, not a delegate that attended the Hawaii conference or the RNC.

But those are inconvenient facts for a snarky hit piece done by some British citizen or transplate for the BBC?

Cue Laugh Track… HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA ETC….

Hawaii is better, warmer, and cheaper for the individual than Copenhagen, where Nance and the Dems lavished themselves in the glow of the global warming conference – at my expense.

Turns out British citizen John Oliver that did the piece had Visa problems for participating in a strike while he was attempting to get his Green Card. He says he has it now, his green card shows how low we can go in bringing in people that have nothing but contempt for our citizens and institutions. I’ll bet you a buck he came here solely for the money, not from any “yearning to be free”. the following was pulled off wikipedia

Oliver’s status as an immigrant placed certain constraints on what he could do in his adopted country, but also provided him with comedic material as he poked fun at the opacity and occasional absurdity of the process of attaining US citizenship. Oliver was one of the many writers on the picket lines during the Writer’s Guild strike which brought The Daily Show to a halt,[17] but he appeared on the show upon its resuming production on 7 January 2008. During a sketch, he pointed out that he is in the U.S. on a visa which requires him not to strike while the show is in production and violation of the terms of the visa would be grounds for deportation. When asked about his immigration status in early 2009, Oliver said, “It’s an ongoing, and slightly unsettling, battle to be honest. I tried engraving ‘Give me your tired, your poor, and your aspiring comic performers’ into the base of the Statue of Liberty, but apparently that’s not legally binding.”[6] In an episode of The Bugle released 31 October 2009, Oliver announced that he “finally got approved for [his] green card,” noting that now he can “get arrested filming bits for The Daily Show”.[18]

The most glaring and obvious omission is that while BHO went to Hawaii on our dime, this meeting was not paid for by the taxpayer. But that would really make their point moot – wouldn’t it.

Snailmailtrucker   February 10th, 2010 - 9:36 pm

Well, Obama has done his best to destroy Las Vegas’ tourism industry… now it’s the Democrats turn to take their best shot at Hawaii’s tourism industry too.

What in Hell is wrong with these MORONS?

Eric   February 10th, 2010 - 9:48 pm

That segment was right on! Screw Republicans! Keep sending in your stupid campaign donations and see what they do with it. We’re for the working family! Shut up; you’re all the same! Show some balls and register Independent.

Mrs M   February 10th, 2010 - 9:50 pm

“Sends the wrong signal during a deep recession”???? Please.. This congress just spent $50,000,000.00 on a Park in St. Croix… At least Hawaii is a bona fide STATE!

Dave, Tn   February 10th, 2010 - 9:54 pm

From the people who brought you McCain in 08. Better come back with a plan to prosecute the people who setup this meltdown to happen and that includes some of your own.

mark   February 10th, 2010 - 10:00 pm

HOW could you watch that footage and not LAUGH at the stupid RNC folks digging their graves with their own tongues?
The woman was so TONE DEAF in her remarks, and all they had to do was give her time and a microphone.

fool-me-all-the-time   February 10th, 2010 - 10:42 pm

HAVING POWER IS BIG BUSINESS IN WASHINGTON..BOTH PARTIES ARE SO CORRUPT ITS ALL SO VERY SAD .I LAUGH WHEN THE REPUKES GO AGAINST THE DEMFRAUDS.

THE PUPPET VOTERS PROP THEM UP …. MUCH TO THE ENJOYMENT OF THE PARTIES.

Charles   February 10th, 2010 - 11:28 pm

Obama went there..so what if the RNC Does too?

john   February 11th, 2010 - 12:35 am

Tom Daschle was last seen pushing his car in 3 feet of snow with help from the FOX news crew. These guys are smart.

I don’t want dumbasses running our country who believe in Global Warming and can’t get out of the way of a blizzard.

The Daily Show hasn’t been funny since it had Steve Carrell and Steven Colbert as correspondents. The RNC didn’t take this trip on tax payer dollars, so I don’t see how it applies.

lisa   February 11th, 2010 - 1:29 am

GOP missed another strategic opportunity…again. Smart move with the “points” would have been Las Vegas…think about it. Hawaii, just plain dumb. Do they know anything about timing?

Eileen..........   February 11th, 2010 - 2:01 am

I agree with pretty much all of your wisdom….BUT, I think it would have been more of a ’slap’ for them to have come here to Las Vegas instead. Keep up the good work.

Here’s the difference.
RNC pays with own money – DemoRats use public money …… that they print.

Besides, if they had gone to Las Vegas and “stimulated” the economy then they would have gotten some atta boys.
Though Hawaii is also hurtin’ not just Vegas.

Again, DemoRats do it on taxpayers dime – RNC on the party’s dime…….oh, sh*t, now I know why I don’t donate to the party of Newt.
Dat’s my $$.

DTOM!

I live in Hawaii. We could use the money. Good for your RNC, didn’t Obama come here, too?

thefedupamerican   February 11th, 2010 - 7:51 am

While I agree there is a double standard…OK for the Obamas to spend megabucks during a recession to vacation in Hawaii while it isn’t OK for Republicans, I STILL think it is pretty darned stupid for a party so far in the minority and on such thin ice with the voters to decide to do their conference in an expensive area.

And wouldn’t it have been sweet irony, given all Obama’s Vegas bashing comments, if they had headed off to Vegas thus adding to the Nevada economy? http://www.thefedupamerican.com

From The Office of Strategic Services in describing Hitler’s psychological profile:

“His primary rules were: never allow the public to cool off; never admit a fault or wrong; never concede that there may be some good in your enemy; never leave room for alternatives; never accept blame; concentrate on one enemy at a time and blame him for everything that goes wrong; people will believe a big lie sooner than a little one; and if you repeat it frequently enough people will sooner or later believe it”

Hitler’s profile? Sounds like the playbook from Palin and Gingrich and Cheney and Beck and Limbaugh and FOX News and [insert your own conservative demigod here].

Eileen for Freedom/Liberty   February 11th, 2010 - 10:53 am

Dear Dave in NV at 2:01 am…you know what…you are absolutely correct! I had not even thought of that!

I was just reacting to this thread…and did not even think about the possibility of their going to Las Vegas.

You are so right…what a better way to rub it in the face of Bilderberg Bush-Obama who has repeatedly put down Las Vegas than to have the Republicans have their meeting in Las Vegas.

Thank you for your comments…I am sorry that they, like I, didn’t think to support your great state!
