Video: ‘Zo salutes the Fairness Doctrine crybabies
posted at 2:50 pm on February 24, 2009 by Allahpundit
A one-man pep rally in anticipation of Mike Pence introducing a new amendment to ban the Doctrine in the House. My only criticism is that the man’s occasionally too dynamic for his own good. We had a rule of thumb in producing Vents: Three minutes is optimal, four minutes is do-able if the material’s really solid, but you’re asking for trouble at five and beyond. (Which isn’t to say there aren’t exceptions.) Attention spans are short on the Internet, even for talent like this; condensing this to half the length would have been shrewd, especially since some of the best bits are at the end. Still, ‘Zo is ‘Zo. Enjoy your shot of afternoon espresso.

“Nobody wants to listen to your ideology is that your ideology sucks”. Priceless!!
txaggie on February 24, 2009 at 2:56 PM
I still miss the Vents. Any thought to bringing them back?
Esthier on February 24, 2009 at 2:58 PM
Reverend Sharpton’s people will be contacting ‘Zo re: his offensive shirt.
Christien on February 24, 2009 at 2:58 PM
nice Monkey Shirt there Zo
jp on February 24, 2009 at 2:59 PM
Is that Michael Steele and his hip-hop idea?
JiangxiDad on February 24, 2009 at 2:59 PM
Allah, I believe he is accusing you of being a racist because of your use of the word expresso when speaking of a black man.
bloggless on February 24, 2009 at 2:59 PM
trying to make your own monkey cartoon upinak? what Allah means is Zo is a shot of caffine… his rapid delivery and no holds barred style are like a shot of espresso… you putz. why must people bring race into everything.
Kaptain Amerika on February 24, 2009 at 3:00 PM
‘Zo takes on white doc martin wearin’ white wannabe punk libs. Nice. He needs to mock the NYU kids now.
Pasalubong on February 24, 2009 at 3:01 PM
Tell me you’re joking. Otherwise I’m going to start calling you Al Sharpton.
MadisonConservative on February 24, 2009 at 3:01 PM
Monkey on his front shirt…
RACIST!!
right2bright on February 24, 2009 at 3:01 PM
Nah, I don’t think he’s saying that. Surely he realizes that a bit of bad-faith racial demagoguery like that against me on my own site would get him banned.
Kaptain Amerika is correct, of course.
Allahpundit on February 24, 2009 at 3:02 PM
Jesus, notice the / get a drip!
upinak on February 24, 2009 at 3:04 PM
upinak used the sarc tag.
Also, “he” is a “she”
carbon_footprint on February 24, 2009 at 3:04 PM
Nope.. bad joke gone wrong. Sorry. I thought the sarc tag would have been the clue.
upinak on February 24, 2009 at 3:05 PM
Two great videos in a row! Thanks.
Christian Conservative on February 24, 2009 at 3:05 PM
no worries.. he/she/it and sarc tag..
upinak on February 24, 2009 at 3:05 PM
Yo dawg
Word.
BobMbx on February 24, 2009 at 3:06 PM
Racism on many levels here. First the monkey shirt, second the espresso comment, third calling Michael Steele a self hating black man. I am reporting this to the Obama police.
Borislav on February 24, 2009 at 3:07 PM
I am so gettin my ‘Zo on right now. Love him.
RepubChica on February 24, 2009 at 3:07 PM
Mad have I ever said anything racial concerning color? Come on… notice the SARC TAG!
upinak on February 24, 2009 at 3:07 PM
I certainly hope you were joking too.
baldilocks on February 24, 2009 at 3:08 PM
Add this to your complaint: This video was recorded in a basement, most likely in a building full of typical white people.
/sarc
BobMbx on February 24, 2009 at 3:09 PM
You all are getting paranoid. Did someone pass a joint in here and not tell me?
baldilocks on February 24, 2009 at 3:09 PM
Can we say that shirt it racist?
Mommypundit on February 24, 2009 at 3:09 PM
Try actually typing “sarc” after the forward slash next time.
MadisonConservative on February 24, 2009 at 3:10 PM
everyone beat me to that. I’ll have to start reading comments now before I post, lest I shame myself again.
Mommypundit on February 24, 2009 at 3:11 PM
No… because no one else does.
upinak on February 24, 2009 at 3:11 PM
two threads down.
lorien1973 on February 24, 2009 at 3:11 PM
“We will all be racists for 15 minutes.”
RadioFreeUSA on February 24, 2009 at 3:11 PM
Come on folks, you know upinak.
Cindy Munford on February 24, 2009 at 3:12 PM
Good night. Let’s just stand in a circle and shoot ourselves.
Spirit of 1776 on February 24, 2009 at 3:12 PM
We’re a forum of cowards.
Snowed In on February 24, 2009 at 3:13 PM
You’re right.
/sarc
MadisonConservative on February 24, 2009 at 3:13 PM
Zo doing great work again. But i have to agree with Allah,a little long, could have made that into two different videos.
MDWNJ on February 24, 2009 at 3:14 PM
I’ll say something racial then…
The Post’s cartoon was representing that anyone, even a Monkey, could have written a better Bill then the Porkulous bill written by The Messiah and his flunkies in Congress. It was perfectly timed considering the attack of the wild chip ripping off the ladies face, kinda like the ass rape the American people took at the hands of Obama. I just can’t imagine how people let these race pimps Sharpton and others slash and burn the truth while LOL’ing at cartoons of Bush being killed or burned in efigy… I guess the double standard rules again and the real racisits are shown.
Mark Garnett on February 24, 2009 at 3:16 PM
Espresso?
RAAACIST!
/sarc
max1 on February 24, 2009 at 3:16 PM
Great video, a bit long, but enjoyable.
If punk rock makes one a primate, than I am a silverback.
RobertInLexington on February 24, 2009 at 3:16 PM
Thanks for the expresso AP.
upinak you never but then I’m biased LOL
Kevin43 on February 24, 2009 at 3:17 PM
Lots of people get confused if you just put the / and not write the whole /sarc. I still say that / is sufficient, though.
BadgerHawk on February 24, 2009 at 3:19 PM
Speak for yourself.
baldilocks on February 24, 2009 at 3:19 PM
“It’s white women chasing after me!”
Another reason why I love him. Get this guy on TV.
Sir Corky on February 24, 2009 at 3:19 PM
Indeed.
Spirit of 1776 on February 24, 2009 at 3:20 PM
:P
Snowed In on February 24, 2009 at 3:20 PM
LMAO. Too many threads sounding like that lately. Maybe Californicate is onto something.
Jaibones on February 24, 2009 at 3:20 PM
Not just them if I wasn’t taken. :)
baldilocks on February 24, 2009 at 3:20 PM
Good Lord ( no offense Allah)! Can’t we all just get a long? Has everyone here contracted Mad Monkey Disease? I think Upinak was making a joke based on the left’s obsession to fabricate charges of racism in everyday comments and vocabulary. I don’t think anyone was actually accusing Allah of racism. Settle down people, settle down or we’ll have to call the Blue Scrotums.
bloggless on February 24, 2009 at 3:21 PM
I wish I was as witty.
/serious
shick on February 24, 2009 at 3:22 PM
I think you all on this forum are hiding the good drugs from the black people.
Racists. :D
baldilocks on February 24, 2009 at 3:22 PM
upinak’s been a solid citizen on this blog for a long time, no worries from Houston upinak.
DanMan on February 24, 2009 at 3:23 PM
Heh. You riled the Fanbois here just like Zo riles Libs.
Montana on February 24, 2009 at 3:23 PM
What else could / mean?
BadgerHawk on February 24, 2009 at 3:24 PM
He’s right about the VA – I’d take it a step further and say that “full coverage” health care in the active duty military isn’t something to strive for.
I live in Europe and sometimes we have to go “out on the economy” and use the medical facilities here.
A socialist medical system is most definitely not all it is cracked up to be, I can tell you that from first-hand experience.
Otis B on February 24, 2009 at 3:25 PM

upinak on February 24, 2009 at 3:25 PM
“Oops, I hit a key by accident.”
MadisonConservative on February 24, 2009 at 3:25 PM
And now, opening for Green Day…here are…the Blue Scrotums!
Snowed In on February 24, 2009 at 3:25 PM
Grassy ass.
baldilocks on February 24, 2009 at 3:26 PM
well it is better then blue scrotums. I don’t think that would be good smoking material.
upinak on February 24, 2009 at 3:27 PM
Division. In this case, symbolic of dividing the races.
For fomenting the division I’ve seen this afternoon, I hereby demand that upinak be shot, drawn and quartered, and then shot again. I also demand a puppy!
Snowed In on February 24, 2009 at 3:27 PM
The Blue Scrotums are one of the new teams on MSNBC’s remake of the classic kids’ gameshow, “Legends of the Hidden Temple,” where liberals must traverse the Shrine of the Silver Monkey. The objective is to be offended as much as possible.
Sir Corky on February 24, 2009 at 3:28 PM
He’s an IT guy. Don’t expect too much :)
Spirit of 1776 on February 24, 2009 at 3:28 PM
Or at least an “s”. I wasn’t convinced you were serious, but I didn’t read the slash as a sarc tag.
Esthier on February 24, 2009 at 3:30 PM
Well, someone’s smoking something.
Snowed In on February 24, 2009 at 3:31 PM
Hannity would def air some of vid this on his primetime show.
RepubChica on February 24, 2009 at 3:31 PM
Ouch Zo,
Most of those punks are Anarchists and libs. Cmon, I am a conservative punk, and I have lots of conservative punk friends. A lot of the 80′s punk scene (yeah I’m old) may have had a liberal slant lyrically, and yeah the pits got violent, but if you think back there wasn’t a lot of music out there that made you think, and there are worse ways to burn off adolescent steam then taking out your aggressions at a show…
While I am 100 degrees out of phase with Jello Biafra now, the Bands like the Dead Kennedys and the Subhumans made their fans think outside of the box of what we were being forcefed by the media when people like Ed Meese Tipper Gore and the PMRC were getting all of the limelight…
I love the Zo… Don’t be a hater man!
@ntif@n on February 24, 2009 at 3:31 PM
Don’t make me start listing operators. You’ll drown in UNIX commands.
MadisonConservative on February 24, 2009 at 3:31 PM
Sarcasm tutorial. Lather. Rinse. Repeat.
portlandon on February 24, 2009 at 3:31 PM
It was a rhetorical flourish.
MadisonConservative on February 24, 2009 at 3:32 PM
A) I can’t wait to get home to watch this,
B) I completely got AK’s joke,
C) I assumed the sarc after the /,
and D) I also understood AP’s caffeine-espresso joke.
So all’s well in this classroom.
Well, it will be in 10 minutes when they all leave for lunch…
Bob's Kid on February 24, 2009 at 3:33 PM
Don’t act like you didn’t want to go on Legends of the Hidden Temple when it was on. Unless of course, you were older than 16 and ineligible to go on it, in which case, I understand that your lashing out is just misdirected :)
Sir Corky on February 24, 2009 at 3:33 PM
To think I’ve been doing it wrong all this time…
Snowed In on February 24, 2009 at 3:36 PM
Go Zo.
It’s OK for Dinnerjacket to have nukelar power, but it’s not OK for the US.
faraway on February 24, 2009 at 3:36 PM
Heh. That’s a threat I’ll take seriously.
I personally don’t mind the / tag by itself. It lends itself to a variety of interpretations. Sarcasm, or absurdity, or irony, etc. Like most of the written word, context is king.
Spirit of 1776 on February 24, 2009 at 3:36 PM
I didn’t have cable when it aired, but I was older than 16 anyway.
Now get off my lawn!
Snowed In on February 24, 2009 at 3:37 PM
Anything you want it to be. The wonderful use of the / tag. Express yourself. Let yourself go. Let everyone know that you are different.
/bs
shick on February 24, 2009 at 3:37 PM
Ouch…bad vi flashback.
Snowed In on February 24, 2009 at 3:38 PM
By using the exact same tag as everyone else. :)
Snowed In on February 24, 2009 at 3:38 PM
I think AP jumped the sarc
faraway on February 24, 2009 at 3:41 PM
/:)
shick on February 24, 2009 at 3:41 PM
So far, this thread is all about a “/”.
Why does sarcasm have to be pointed out (by a /)? – one can either serve it, or not. One can get it, get confused, or get mad, or ask for clarification, none if it to matter too much.
OT – the dude is a riot.
Entelechy on February 24, 2009 at 3:42 PM
I love this guy.
D2Boston on February 24, 2009 at 3:44 PM
That was funny
faraway on February 24, 2009 at 3:46 PM
Heh. Or oops, I accidently hit enter twice and then a key.

BadgerHawk on February 24, 2009 at 3:48 PM
I don’t know if the “OT” was on topic or off topic :)
Entelechy on February 24, 2009 at 3:49 PM
God love em.
BadgerHawk on February 24, 2009 at 3:50 PM
Dude, chill, he was obviously joking, come on.
True_King on February 24, 2009 at 3:50 PM
I love his shirt.
Multibucket on February 24, 2009 at 4:04 PM
What would Zo be like if he was tanked on RedBull?
nor on February 24, 2009 at 4:08 PM
If the RNC was smart, they would sit Jindal and let ZO go off on Obama. The riot factor alone in conservative circles would be priceless. Secondly, have the guy open for the RNC 2012 convention and just let the nominee walk out and say “thanks, I accept. Zo and I will be campaigning until election day.”
Game over. The laugh factor of Zo opening up a can of whupass on Obama would show people how empty The One truly is. The guys a riot.

tickleddragon on February 24, 2009 at 4:09 PM
For any of you libtards out there, (not you, right2bright. I know you’re not a lib) Irish people were often depicted as monkeys too. For example:
HERE;
HERE; and
HERE
So obviously the cartoon was depicting Ted Kennedy.
(just kidding)
Glenn Jericho on February 24, 2009 at 4:09 PM
And GO ZO!!!
I do love me some Zo. Don’t cha know?
