That's odd. It's from last night's show, so it's recent. It works for me. Occasionally with Daily Show stuff I have to refresh the page before it'll play. But it's working fine when I click play right now.

Here's the link if the embed isn't working for you:

Do you think people just aren't aware of Jon Stewart's team? I feel like doing an interview with them outside of the studio is sort of like being asked to join your wife on Maury or Jerry Springer; it's just not going to end well for you

Quote :

"Despite the controversy, Yelton tells Xpress: "The comments that were made, that I said, I stand behind them. I believe them." The short interview clips were edited together from a much longer two-hour sit-down, says Yelton. But he says he was pleased overall with the parts that were included. In fact, he notes that some of the comments he made that weren't included might've even been more controversial. "To tell you the truth, there were a lot of things I said that they could've made sound worse than what they put up." He adds, "I would've loved to been able to do it live. … but that wasn't offered." Yelton says he was well aware of what he was getting into when he agreed to be on the show. "Everybody and their brother told me 'they're going to make fun of you,'" he notes. "I don't think we can run from the people that disagree with us. If you're not willing to talk to people you disagree with, than you're never going to accomplish anything. So that's why I agreed to take the interview.""

Hopefully they'll put the whole interview online somewhere, because I'm curious what he thinks he said that was worse than admitting the goal of the law was to target democrats, and worse than what he said about lazy blacks that want government handouts, about college students, and worse than using the n-word that many times.

^Not everything is about you, some things are about how we choose to represent North Carolina to the rest of the world. And for now, this kind of stuff is the face of NC.

Here's the same guy testifying why we need a restrictive photo ID requirement, to end same day registration, to slice a week off early voting, and all the other changes earlier this year:

Haha

There's a difference between "not running away" and "running as hard as you can into the enemy's sword"

Whatever. The GOP needs to be destroyed in order to be saved, so this stuff doesn't bother me I'm the big picture, politically. It just pisses me off to see societal "idiocracy" unfold further.

I was thinking more along the lines of the broader General Assembly insanity that has blown up over the summer, of which this guy was a part, but even this specific incident is certainly making the rounds and adding to a long line of negative light on our state.

10/24/2013 11:23:57 PM

7 of the 9 links you posted were local North Carolina newspapers / TV stations...so ok, it's the face of NC among people who read NC news sources

not that NC has some great national perception, but that was the case well before the dumbass Yelton did that hilarious interview on TDS last night

and even when NC does something good and positive, the national perception is that we're still a state full of inbred toothless rednecks, so fuck that inaccurate perception in the first place

so, liberal websites like to poke fun at a state that routinely votes conservative in national elections.

STOP THE PRESSES

10/25/2013 12:29:17 AM

up until recently, NC has been viewed as a purple state, regardless of which way the state votes for President

but narratives and whatnot

10/25/2013 12:50:17 AM

We might've been looked at as a state in a more favorable light than say, South Carolina

But I don't know when we've been viewed from a national perspective as anything other than a backwoods redneck Southern state

So now that he's fired, does he qualify for welfare and unemployment?

10/25/2013 12:06:52 PM

I like how the guy admits the voting changes are designed to suppress Democratic votes

10/25/2013 12:29:27 PM

i praise him for being truthful

10/25/2013 12:32:50 PM

Don Yelton's only crime is saying out loud the thoughts and motivations of the NC House members that have lobbied and passed the recent voter registration bills.

10/25/2013 2:45:47 PM

Holy shit, Supplanter just typed a lot of stuff at me that I'm not going to read. Someone tell me whether or not I should be upset.
