Jon Stewart Tells Sarah Palin 'F**k You!'

Photo of Noel Sheppard.

You can officially add "The Daily Show's" Jon Stewart to the list of unabashed Sarah Palin haters, for while speaking in front of a crowd at Northeastern University on Friday, the comedian told the Alaska governor "F**k you!"

Unfortunately, as reported by Mary Katherine Ham at the Weekly Standard Sunday evening, there was more to Stewart's invective-filled rant.

Here are some of the lowlights (video embedded right):

He (McCain) made an interesting vice presidential choice.

I like the woods...I just don't know if I would pull my vice president out of the woods randomly.

She came out again today. She was talking to a small town, she said that small towns, that's the part of the country she really likes going to because that's the pro-America part of the country.

You know, I just want to say to her, just very quickly...[expletive] you.

I've never seen someone with a greater disparity between how cute they sound when they're saying something and how terrible what they're saying is. [...]

I can't take it anymore. After eight years of this divisiveness, we're back to this idea that only small-town America is the real America.

Don't you love how liberals in the same breath they're complaining about the divisiveness in America spew some of the worst hatred you can imagine towards those they disagree with?

One would think someone as intelligent as Stewart would recognize the hypocrisy.

I guess not.

Sadly, this will likely help his career rather than hinder it.

Read the whole thing if you can take it.

Real Class

The more I hang out at these sites the more amazed I become at the class these supposedly "enlightened" liberals show toward Gov Palin.  First she's the "C" word, now she's the "F" word.  I have yet to find a conservative using the "N" word on Obama, nor would we ever.  We're more concerned about the socialism ("S" word) that Obama stands for.

But you know,

But you know, misterbee...it's conservatives that are full of hate!

<sarc>

And Stewart uses his "fake news" excuse for his liberal so-called "humor" which ivolves spewing invective and hate, then yelling "Just kidding!"

No class, all A$$

What a putz...

Don't know what else to say, but, "Leibowitz (aka Stewart), in a language I know you'll understand, you are a putz... "

Any Conservative who...

watches this guy's show except in the line of duty, is a masochist.  He is not funny.  He is hateful and he is stupid.  Other than that, he is a lousy excuse for a human being.  (A real person, not a phony, would not have changed his name from Liebowitz to Stewart.)  Jim Webster

I think that show is hilarious.

It's just jokes; I don't think he's really a "lousy excuse for a human being."

gee zippy...

You must be one of those intellectuals that gets their political "news" and "information" from this show. He had on the former prime minister of England, Tony Blair, and all he could do was try to bait him into bad-mouthing Bush... He had a chance to have a real dialogue. That was the best he could do? What a putz.

If I remember, everyone was outraged here that Don Imus was fired over something so minor.  Go back and do a search on it.  Let the libs be the cry babies and the conservatives be the men.  Lot's of whining going on here over what - comedy?!  Comedians have always offended somebody.  Why didn't anyone slam Obama or McCain for their comments at the Al Smith dinner? Comedy, that's why.

Again zippy...YOU don't get it...

I know it's a comedy show. I'm not really offended by it. The problem is there are a lot of stupid people who don't get it. He's had some really great guests and all he can do is insult them. How many writers does he need to write Bush bashing jokes? Not much talent OR humor in that... And as for his comedy routine, where is the humor in telling someone "F-you"? 

By the way, you're fat, your mommy dresses you funny and if I had a dog with a face like yours....well....wellll......"F-You"!!!

There now, wasn't that funny?

Zip, I think what we're

Zip, I think what we're trying to say, is at the very least, make fun of everybody, not just the conservatives. And comedy doesn't have to include expletives and vulgar statements to be considered humorous.

Everyone enjoyed the jabs from both candidates at the Al Smith dinner. I don't recall anyone saying F- you or calling anyone a C^&t.

 

Speaking of humor,...

...how hard did you laugh at Michael Richards' comments in his infamous stand-up routine? It was just comedy. Get over it.

Ok, now you're really

Ok, now you're really reaching.  This is getting a little embarassing.

You embarass too easily zippers.

The only reaching is by "comediens" who say what they feel may get a chuckle or two from their audience. Different audience; different material. Racists laughed with Richards. Communists laugh with Stewart. Both groups are a plague on humanity. Hey, did you hear about the black homo comrade who...

Go ahead and finish the joke, zippers, and make everyone laugh. Afterall, it's just comedy.

Making fun of a political

Making fun of a political tactic is a bit different than saying people should be hanging upside-down from a tree.  Like I said, it's a stretch at best.  The only similarity is that they were both stand up routines.

Pushing communism and the

Pushing communism and the death and misery it brings, zippers, is no laughing matter. The same applies to racism. "F-you, Sarah." "F-you, Martin Luther." Do you see humor in one of these statements? Don't you think there is someone who would see it in the other?  They're similar in that your laughter and that of a racist are both disgusting.

First of all, having

First of all, having opposing political views and having a dislike for someone because of the way they were born is plenty different.  And secondly, when does John Stewart push communism?

Where is your proof that

Where is your proof that Sarah Palin wasn't born as a "conservative"? I've heard a persons orientation is possibly set at birth. I'm not sure about this myself, but you never know.

John Stewart pushes Obama. I stretch not.

Well I'm pretty sure

Well I'm pretty sure someone's skin color is set at birth.

So because John Stewart might vote differently than you, he is no better than someone who shouts racial slurs at people?  Our country has come so far...

Saying "F-You" to those you

Saying "F-You" to those you disagree with, in the name of "humor", is the same as voting differently?

I'm not so much concerned with how far our country has come as I am with where it's going. Think of the children, zippers, think of the children! (or at least the one's your side allows to be born)

Think of the children? 

Think of the children?  That's the oldest political cop-out in the book.  F the children.  They're gonna grow up and be adults soon enough, and I'm sure they'll be fine.

If that is really how you

Cool...I'd chime in ...

But my Fat @ss won't fit in this Skinny Thread.

Pun intended.

Ster.

Glad you liked it.

I knew you would recognize that marxist line used to build power in government in the name of our most vulnerable. How about, "It takes a village". Do you like that one too? Difference is, conservatives actually care about the children and not the lingo used to empower government.

"F the children."  Good one, zippers. Are you gonna open for Stewart soon?

Let's put it this way: 

Let's put it this way:  The legalization of medical marijuana is on the ballot in Michigan this year, and there is a group opposing it called "Citizens Protecting Michigan's Children."  Their basic premise is that they want to make sure that people with diseases can't get any marijuana because "the children" are in danger.  Now why would a group that has nothing to do with children use the word children in their name, if not to get people to side with their cause?  And that is just one of many examples.

Saying "F U" to someone you

Saying "F U" to someone you disagree with is not funny, especially when the subject is a well-mannered Lady, and one who was elected by popular vote.  It's offensive at best, verbally abusive at worst, and intentionally so.  One cannot say whatever one wants and then simply brush it off as "I was only joking."  This is an abusive tactic.  Look it up.  Based on his outburst, methinks that Stewart is a bit of a misogynist.

Gotta question for ya'?

Sorry I'm late to the party...From your statement, would you agree saying "F**k you" to an elected official is the same as saying F**k you" to their constituents and to the person's elected position?

Excellent observation.  You read between the lines -- that is precisely what I was insinuating.

Okay...then...

lotr,

So, you'll agree that Vice President Dick Cheney was out of line when he said to Sen. Patrick Leahy, "Go F**k yourself!"?

Or there will always be a double standard when it comes to being a "Dick".

Question, Ub.

Was Stewart talking directly to Gov. Palin, as Vice President Cheney was with Leahy?

Sorry to disrupt your victory dance, but you didn't exactly have a one-for-one comparison there.

Yes, of course.  Totally out of line, and as I have said elsewhere, telling someone to F themself is the most banal of utterances.  I'm not saying that I haven't dropped an F bomb in heated situations, but certainly not in the context of civil discourse, and it's never something to be proud of.

Cheney was, obviously, out of line.

But at least he had the good taste to make his untoward remark in person, directly to Leahy.

Stewart is still a coward.

Most comedians are cowards...

Mike,

They poke and prod your stand on certain issues. If you don't like them, turn them off. Jon Stewart is neither a politician or a journalist. He hosts a faux news program similiar to Billo at Fox...cue the laugh track.

Did you enjoy being "RickRolled"?

Bwa-ha-ha-ha-ha!!!

Lighten up, Mikie! Life is short when you're 72! Po'McCain!

"The voice of dissent must be heard."-Henry Ford

Equivocation misses the point.

You and I, along with others here, realize that Stewart is insubstantial.  The problem is that a great number of people believe that people like Stewart and David Letterman are substantial ways to stay informed on the events of the day.

"Lighten up"?

For starters, I've made a good living over the past two decades telling jokes and entertaining people, thanks; I even toss in a humorous remark around here from time to time.  

But win or lose on Election Day, and thanks to people like Obama, Biden, and Pelosi, I'll have to look my children in the eye and tell them the country they're getting from me isn't as good as the one my parents gave me.

As long as you're there for them. If you're a part of their lives as a positive force, they'll grow up to be fine productive adults.

Not to worry, you'll still have plenty of gigs with a voice like yours and a face for radio...cue the laugh track.

...but "He needs to vote like me" isn't a guideline.

Why don't you tell us why Stewart's slurs (and he's shouted and slung more than a few) are any different, any more protected, any better than those from "someone who shouts racial slurs at people?"

Yes, our country has come so far, but if your empty suit Obama ends up getting elected, we'll lurch into reverse.  In a hurry. 

--Mike

I don't see how, after 8

I don't see how, after 8 years of the Bush administration, we could possibly go any more into reverse.  I think that either candidate has it easy because of the act they have to follow.

Your myopia isn't my concern.

Particularly when you have, apparently, such a low view of children.

Good response

Yes, I can see now that you would definitely wipe the floor with John Stewart if you got on his show.  You are so direct and engaging.

Why, thanks, Zippy.

And since I haven't seen anything more sophisticated from Stewart than I have from any other quivering bastion of liberal subjectivism, I don't think a segment with him would be much of a problem, honestly.

I'm about to check my e-mail again for something from the folks at The Daily Show.  Keep hope alive... 

--Mike 

www.thebrattonreport...

ha

Well good luck with that!

A-zipper ... care to elaborate?

In what way have we gone in reverse because of President Bush? 

If conservatives are RIGHT, then liberals must be WRONG.

Oh you know, wire-tapping,

Oh you know, wire-tapping, torture, and other instances of lessing our civil liberties for the illusion of "saftey."  But actually, who knows?  The economy might suffer; they've done studies that show that people spend more money when they're scared.

Remember what Ben Franklin said:

"They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor security."

okay zippy

Wire tapping: This is permitted when one of the parties is outside of the USA and are considered a risk. For most citizens, this is a non-issue. Thanks to President Bush, there has not been a nother 9-11 attack.

Torture: Again, if this is not happening to US citizens. Furthermore, any torture that may occur is actually not a violation of the Geneva Convention. Nonuniformed combatants who are taken prisoner can actually be executed without trial. The fact that we detain them and acquire intel from them makes sense. btw, the US Constitution guarantees Rights to US citizens.

Economy: This financial crisis is not the responsibility of the Executive Branch, but rather the Legislative Branch. They have certainly lived up to their 10% approval rating. As for what really happened, check out this video if you want the truth.

If conservatives are RIGHT, then liberals must be WRONG.

"Thanks to President Bush,

"Thanks to President Bush, there has not been another 9-11 attack"

I don't see how you could possibly make that connection.  I mean, it you are going to say that, you might as well say "Because of President Bush, there was a 9-11 attack."

Department of Homeland Security ... zippy?

Did the Dept of Homeland Security exist prior to President Bush? Is this department part of the executive branch? NSA,CIA, ATF, and FBI are all part of the executive branch. The Bush adminstartion tore down the Gorelick wall that tried to separate national security and local law enforcement. 

Obviously you are ignorant about 9-11. The planning took years and started during Clinton. They entered the country under Clinton. Clinton's failure to respond with force emboldened terrorists. Remember, the first WTC bombing happened under Clinton as did the US embassies in Africa and the USS Cole ... what did President Bill about these besides smoke his cigar?

If conservatives are RIGHT, then liberals must be WRONG.

zippy ... if not Bush???

If you do not want to credit Bush, then who? You cannot say that they did not try because there are plenty of examples of failed attempts that were prevented.

If conservatives are RIGHT, then liberals must be WRONG.

zippy the liberal employing advance debate technique

here, zippy employs the advanced liberal debating technique of run and hide. This option is usually employed when they run out of talking-points. 

If conservatives are RIGHT, then liberals must be WRONG.

Hey, I gotta leave work

Hey, I gotta leave work sometime. Some of us have a life outside of our paranoid delusions.

So you're saying it's Clinton's fault we got attacked, and it's because of Bush that we didn't get attacked again?  That's exactly what I'd expect somebody here to say.  Can you say "biased?"

Not likely Osama bin Ladin could have attacked if Bill Clinton had killed him when he had the opportunities.

Look, we've had just as

Look, we've had just as many 9/11's since 9/11 as we had before 9/11 - zero.  So I just don't believe that Bush has made our country so much safer than it was before.  I'm more worried about dying of TB than I am of dying in a terrorist attack.  That's because they hardly ever happen, and I don't like my liberties being reduced just because they've done such a good job of whipping everybody into a fear frenzy over terrorist attacks.  I'm not worried about terrorists.  Hey, wait, so that means the terrorists haven't won, right?

Ziplock

"I'm more worried about dying of TB than I am of dying in a terrorist attack."

As, these days, am I. And so many Americans.

This was not at all the case in late 2001 and 2002, after being shaken to the core by evil unleashed on us, that crecendoed -- after decades of increased attacks worldwide -- right here in my home city of NYC.

Just send your Thank You card to the CIC that has made us all safer, here and around the world.

All thanks be to Allah Bush. Yes, I love and admire the man with a religious zest. :p

Uh, zippy, what cave were you hiding out in from 1992-2000?

Because AQ attacked this country FIVE TIMES during that span of time, and threatened to engage in many more.

I'm not worried about terrorists.

Well, if you're lucky, maybe, just maybe you won't be one of those unfortunate schmucks who gets incinerated when some Islamo-zealot camel-washer manages to sneak into this country and detonate a nuke in the middle of a major city.

In fact, I am guessing that will have to happen at least twice before you and your ilk will finally figure out that the illiterate Islamic-barbarian horde swore itself to the destruction of the Civilized World nearly 12 centuries before the United States was even thought of.

They came very close to doing that once before.

Whistle past the graveyard all you want, but that doesn't change the fundamental reality that, on the whole, the Islamist's are again prevailing in this 1400 year-long war, and, with enough useful idiots like you around, they just might prevail this time.

Have you taken a cold, hard look at what has been happening in Europe, Asia and much of Africa over the last 30+ years?

If you didn't have your ignorant head burried so deeply in the sand, you would see the danger Western civilation is currently in.

First of all, I don't think you have any idea what troll means. Just because I'm posting comments on a conservative website, even though I'm not an ultra-conservative, does not mean I'm a troll.

And in reference to the liberties question:  I haven't had any civil liberties reduced, but then I don't spend much time at airports, and I don't have a middle eastern last name.  Maybe I need to get out more.

"First of all, I don't think"

Those, az, are the first true words I've ever seen you post here.

I've been here a whole lot longer than you, and trust me when I tell you, my definition of troll is THE definition here.  You are a troll, because you come here and post "talking points", you can neither defend nor explain your continuous spew of said talking points.  Do you understand that?   You can flail all you'd like, or if you are beginning to get a clue, just admit defeat.

You just stated that your liberties were reduced.....when I challenged you, what did you do?  Respond to other posts, without answering the question.

So, I had to provoke you a wee little bit to get you to admit....I haven't had any civil liberties reduced.

But WAIT....you said you did.  So, tell me again, what exactly are you whining about?

Men of Middle Eastern decent on multiple planes wrought one of the biggest, deadliest attacks on our country in 2001. That explains why, if you're of M.E. decent and at an airport, you might just have to put up with some added background checks. This, btw, is hardly an assault on anyone's liberties.

This will show us all just how unhinged they are:

click here

Proceed cautiously through the comments. Almost everyone of them is full of blood-red anger and vitriol, with the most foul, vile language... and almost all of them wanting John Gibson killed in every horrible and conceivable way.

Part of their rabid rage is he "mocked" Jon Stewart for being the complete forgetful idiot hypocrite that he is, comparing the fear in his voice on his show right after 9/11 wih him today, bashing Bush so much in the years after it while he was kept safe.

They didn't get, AT ALL, the point he was trying to make. Which makes rational thinking people like us side with his point ALL THE MORE!

Great job!

Zippy, it is rather apparent that you are profoundly ignorant...

...of the 1400 year history of Islam on this planet, and utterly clueless as to what their ultimate aim is.

They have now re-taken pretty much everything they had once gained by the sword, but lost during the Crusades.

Europe, along with the UK itself, is essentially toast now, and much of Asia and Africa are now living under Sharia law, which is spreading at an alarming rate.

The Islamists even have courts in Canada that are now siding with the them against Canadian citizens, which means they now have a considerable presence in North America.

But hey, like you say, they are nothing to be concerned about, right?

Sorry Zippy but he isn't even funny. That's why I don't watch the show. He's just snide and cranky. What kind of humor is in that approach to comedy?

He did that same thing last year

Boy, you have a low threshold.  Jon Stewart has never been funny...not even in his MTV days.  He must kiss the ground in praise that massive audience segmentation created by cable and satellite television has made him appear relevant.  In other words, he's a big fish in a small bowl.

I would have figured that as a "comedian", Jon Stewart would be required to aim higher than being as funny as Hannity or O'Reilly (intentionally or otherwise).  The fact is that he even fails at that.  Fortunately for him, you Daily Show drones are easy to please.

You know the only funny

You know the only funny thing about Stewart. It only took 64 of his 176 writer monkeys to come up with that line.

Jon Stewart truly is the Groucho Marx of our time! 

Vote 4 change. Vote 4 anything. See Jack & Mr Shy's first campaign ad for the ONLY viable 3rd party candidate.

That's a great point

Jon wouldn't know what to say until the latest lib talking point from the MSM and/or Daily Kos was put on a teleprompter for him by a squad of hipster writers to read and smirk at like it was his joke 

Fucking jackass.

I wish I could remember the

I wish I could remember the exact statistic, but I read somewhere that a large portion of Americans get their "News" from the Daily Show and consider that to be their primary news source.  I blame the public schools.

"Therefore thou art

"Therefore thou art inexcusable, O man, whosoever thou art that judgest: for wherein thou judgest another, thou condemnest thyself; for thou that judgest doest the same things." Romans 2:1

Stewart commits the wrong that he is condemning in his own codemnation. It is an old story.

"Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house." Acts 16:31

Can we stop with the

Can we stop with the 'Stewart is intelligent' nonsense? Stewart is a political hack and not smart enough to recognize when he's being jaw droppingly hypocritical. And this ain't the first time. I remember seeing him on Crossfire where earnest Jonny was railing against Crossfire for it being, cough, divisive and decrying the them vs. us format of the show, etc., etc. Now, forgetting that he was actually appearing on(and not for the first time)the very show he was slamming-Jon then, when criticized for being biased towards liberals on his own show, called the conservative on the show, Tucker Carlson, an asshole. That's right, in nearly the very breath he was pleading for civility, Stewart spewed obscenities at another panelist. Not bright. And a hypocrite. Huge one. 

Strong comments, no doubt.

Strong comments, no doubt. But I can understand his feelings. People in the big cities are tired of being painted as "un-American," New Yorkers especially. And they don't want to hear it from Palin.

b,

You couldn't be more mistaken if you tried. Do you think people in big cities care about what people in small towns think? Where do you live?

Coming from NY, and having worked in SF for five years, I can tell you that folks in those cities don't give a rat's ass about what people from small towns think. Furthermore, they think everyone that doesn't live in their city is a moron.

Nice try, though!!!  ns

Do you practice hard to be

Do you practice hard to be wrong?  This whole thing happened because arrogant "city-folk" like Stewart are constantly disparaging the "red-necks" from "fly-over country."  

So, someone from the hinterlands stands up to them and questions their Americanism, and they can't take it.  They hate it when the truth is told, especially when it's the truth about them.

The hatred at Palin is the same as the hatred against Reagan, Bush and any other American who believes in the conservative principles that formed this nation, people like Joe the Plumber, who they also hate.

"For the first time in my adult life, I'm proud of my country." - Michele Obama

Do you practice at acting

Do you practice at acting as if you're always right?

This "whole thing" happened because Palin wants voters in small towns to feel threatened by Big City America. Big City people don't want to hear from Sarah Palin that they're in an "un-American" part of the country.

No Bal

This whole thing happened because for years, folks from the 10 big cities considered everyone else to be rubes, hicks or rednecks. This latest version started when the elitist/socialist Barak Obama said that western Pennsylvanians were "bitter, angry and clutching to their guns and Bibles" (paraphrased). Obama took a stick to us and we're tired of getting poked. Then the greatest thing happened, John McCain selected one of us for his V.P. running mate and the rest is history. We have a mouthpiece with teeth........our pit-bull with lipstick who gives us a voice.

If you feel included in the rhetoric, I feel your pain because I've been called stupid for years by your compatriots. I don't feel bad, because it's your turn for a while. I'm tired of getting ignored and trashed. so let someone else take it unnecesarily.

So, even though you know it

So, even though you know it was wrong that people marginalized you, you're more than willing to then do it to them?

Everyone gets made fun of. I get made fun of, my politics get made fun of. But I think it's a cheap shot for Palin to claim some parts of America are more American than others.

Lame.

Bal, raising tax rates does

Bal, raising tax rates does not increase revenues to the Treasury.  Lowering tax rates does.  The problems we have now are due to the fact that government is too heavily involved in the economy.  If some of these bureaucrats would just get out of the way and let the markets work, the markets (you, me and other self-interested individuals) would take care of a much greater proportion of society's needs than bloated, corrupt, inefficient government would.

I guess you don't get comedy.

And I don't have a personal, pet definition on the line, the way liberal types do.  So from your response, you agree that larger areas are home to more anti-American (defined as "We don't like America, her institutions, her heritage, her place in history and her role in the world" as though that had to be spelled out for you) sentiment than the rest of the country.

And no, we weren't talking sheer numbers or variety of opinion, but percentages--overall, aggregate opinion.  You probably knew that, though, right?  So we'll mark you down as a "yes."

I think you may be confusing

I think you may be confusing having higher expectations from one's country with hatred. Just because you don't agree with everything doesn't mean you hate your country. In fact, agreeing with everything that goes on without asking questions is probably a closer definition of anti-American.  There's nothing wrong with wanting your country to be better than it is.

That's not what you want, though.

Different, as in the differences liberalism wants for the United States, isn't always better.

But you go right on having pet definitions for "anti-American," though.  

Your viewpoint reminds me of the old Steve Martin routine--the one where he thought it would be great to teach a youngster to "talk wrong."  Then, at the child's first day of school, you would see the youngster raise a hand and, while trying to ask permission to go to the restroom, actually say, "May I mamboo dogface to the banana patch?"

Informed, mannered disagreement is a good thing.  Making gutter remarks about those with whom you disagree is neither informed nor mannered.  Stewart is an anti-American coward.

Keep the little folk stirred up and begging, and the aristocracy achieves an iteration of fulfillment every time they succeed at expropriatingthe earnings of conservatives to share with their charge.

Palin, clearly, was sticking it DC politicians that don't acknowledge that intelligent lifeforms exist between NY and LA. She was referring, really, to small town values, not just technically small towns. Liberal idiots in NY don't think any more highly of someone living in Phoenix(the 5th largest city in the country) or Houston than they do of someone living in Podunk, USA. They think everyone in Phx are uneducated backwards hicks because the don't want gun control and like to hunt. THAT is what Palin was talking about so Stewart or anyone else who gets hung up on technically limiting her comments to small towns is missing the point.

Here's the kicker though, Palin's not running a satirical campaign for a fake vice presidency.

If Dennis Miller said something along these lines, I don't think Jon would care as much, but when Palin has a shot at actually running the executive branch... the one that enforces laws that he has to follow... then I think he has the right to get angry.

Perhaps not in a vulgar way (depending on how you define it... I'm looking at you Kristal), but he's entitled to anger when his future VP is calling him un-American.

except that Stewart(D-MSM)

except that Stewart(D-MSM) is also a politician - from the 51st state - and he has more power than Palin will ever have

@TruthMonger

The media is not a state, no matter how dismissive your tone. It has no authority over individuals, no boundaries, no constitution, and is driven by profit.

Also, power is not a measure of statehood. If it was, Bill Gates and Warren Buffet would be legally running the country.

So how about *you* try again TM?

Here's the rub

Is Stewart's anger justified?  He is, after all, known to behave in a remarkably un-American way.

See, when someone tells the truth about you, frustration at being called on your behavior is understandable.  Foul-mouthed anger, on the other hand?  Not so much.

He barks about President Bush not being elected, mocks both American soldiers and their missions abroad, and if you dare disagree with his sly pontifications, he'll call you a body part.

He's an un-American coward.  Matter of fact, if his people book me on his show, I'll make it a point of telling him that face-to-face; as it stands, I don't see that he's booked Gov. Palin on his show to pass along his little bon mot in person.

The point is, however, that I'd say to Stewart's face what I'm saying here, while Stewart doesn't have the fortitude to repeat his "comedy" directly to Gov. Palin.

Stewart cares for soldiers

Hey Mike,

I wasn't going to join in on this thread, but I can't let the people who might read your post get the wrong impression.

You can say whatever you want about Jon Stewart being unfunny, biased, or rude.

But the fact is, Stewart has done a lot to serve our men in uniform, and in fact, was just given an award March 25, 2008 from the USO of the Metropolitan DC area for his service. ( http://www.usometrod... ):

"Avoiding the public eye, Stewart has made multiple trips
to Walter Reed and Bethesda to visit with returning warriors. [...] When commenting
on his award, Elaine Rogers, president of USO-Metro remarked, 'USO-Metro
is honored to work with someone so selfless and dedicated to the
support of our troops. We are privileged to call Jon Stewart one
of our strongest supporters.'"

Nick, thanks for the observation.

And for the measured discourse.

Unfortunately, USO service doesn't equate to all-American bona fides.  I perused a encyclopedic list, and some names popped out at me; here are some other folks who spend time working for that organization: 

  • 50 Cent
  • Aerosmith
  • Kathy Griffin
  • Robin Williams  

While most USO participants are very much all-American folks, it's not a lead-pipe cinch.  As in the case of Jon Stewart.

You've come here empty-handed, but let me give you a chance to make amends.  Do you consider any of those "entertainers" on that little list even marginally pro-American?  Or could they be individuals who are just packing in extra gigs, rather than expressing genuine bonhomie for the men and women in uniform?

not about pro/anti-America

Hey Mike,

I wasn't saying anything about this current argument about whether Stewart is pro- or anti-American. As I said, you can say what you want about him in many other areas.

I just wanted to set the record straight on one thing you said that I thought was demonstrably wrong: you said that he mocks American soldiers and their service, when, in fact, Stewart serves the troops through the USO and has had nothing but praise for America's servicemen.

Check my last post, please.

It's more than a bit possible to do USO dates and have great antipathy for the troops.  Do you think the others on that short list "serve the troops" and have "nothing but praise" for America's servicemen and servicewomen?

And how do you have "praise" for our troops, yet insist their actions are wrong? 

--Mike 

www.thebrattonreport...

 

okay

Hi Mike,

I think this thread has quite a few arguments to finish without adding this little one, but...

First, how is it possible to praise someone and insist their actions are wrong? In the case of our troops, very easy.

For example, we cold say that our soldiers are brave, loyal, skilled, and--at least for my college friends currently in the Army--very funny (that's the praise); but they are engaged in a war in Iraq that we never should have engaged in (that's the criticism).

Now, I don't want to argue either of those points, I was just giving an example of how you could praise something and still find fault with something about it. (In this case, praise the troops but criticize the war.)

Second, about your point that you can both serve the troops (by engaging in USO activities to entertain) and have great antipathy for them--I suppose that would be possible.

But I wonder how many examples you can provide of Jon Stewart, 50 Cent, Aerosmith, Kathy Griffin, or Robin Williams showing antipathy to the troops (as opposed to antipathy to the war or the way the troops are being used). Can you provide any quotes or evidence in support of that?

(And remember, we're not talking about pro-/anti-American sentiments on the part of these entertainers--we're talking only about evidence of their antipathy towards the troops.)

Nick

That is patently absurd.

When one joins the military, one swears an oath, which includes a proviso to follow legal orders of one's superiors.

So your "criticism" is absurd on its face.

I recall seeing Kathy Griffin (Griffith?) doing a show in Iraq where she got STONE COLD SILENCE in response to her lame jokes....she didn't understand her audience.  She was snarkily anti-war, but attempted to use the troops as a back drop for trying to "prove" her support.  Why don't you google it and get back to me?

 

In his own words (19 seconds):  This man is qualified to be VP?

Well being such a big fan

Of Arosmith and Robin Williams, I have a hard time believing you would catch either of them acting obtuse to our troops. They may not approve of current policy, but I beleive both have an enormous respect for our folks in uniform. Kathy Griffith is just a sad sad person, nothing better to do then to makes sad "jokes" about others.

 

"Television is a freak show" Bernie Goldberg

Blonde, I don't

Blonde,

I don't understand you--yes, soldiers takes oaths, yes, soldiers should follow legal orders from superiors.

But that doesn't mean that their superiors are always right. We have a long history of good soldiers being killed through bad tactics, bad strategy, and even bad politics. What usually happens in those cases--if they are truly bad enough--is that the superior officers get replaced.

So, you could believe that the US troops are doing their best in Iraq and still think that it was a mistake on the part of the CIC to send them there. How is that absurd on the face of it?

(Note: it may be absurd in any one particular case, but there is no a priori reason why that would be absurd. In fact, as I've indicated, we have a long history of showing this to be true: sometimes superiors misuse their forces, even though those forces are deserving of praise.)

And again, I asked for examples of antipathy towards the troops--your example of Kathy Griffin "bombing" doesn't show antipathy. (It might show that she's not that funny, or that she mis-judged what her audience would find funny.)

This is what I find to be absurd

For example, we cold say that our soldiers are brave, loyal, skilled, and--at least for my college friends currently in the Army--very funny (that's the praise); but they are engaged in a war in Iraq that we never should have engaged in (that's the criticism).

So, you agree that soldiers take oaths, and are legally bound to follow orders of those who are placed in command.  Yet you post THAT?  Following your logic, these soldiers should have refused an order, not just the order of their immediate superior, but that of their Commander In Chief at the very top of their chain of command?

And I gather from your final sentence that you have absolutely no idea what I'm talking about.....once you've bothered to educate yourself, and actually watch Kathy Griffin's pathetic little attempt at "supporting the troops" whilst literally kicking them in the face, get back to me about the antipathy thing. 

 

In his own words (19 seconds):  This man is qualified to be VP?

I'd be interested in that

I'd be interested in that video of Griffin, Blonde, but I googled "kathy griffin bombs" and got nothin'.

Keep trying, balboa

I'm sure you'll get the hang of the internet eventually.

 

In his own words (19 seconds):  This man is qualified to be VP?

(sigh) Probably not.  

(sigh)

Probably not.  

Blonde, Please don't put

Blonde,

Please don't put words in my mouth--there are enough words there already!

Where did I ever say anything about soldiers disobeying orders? When I said (as an example) that you can praise soldiers and criticize their engagement in a particular theater of war, I meant just that. There's nothing a priori absurd about that statement: you can respect our troops and disapprove of our policies (i.e., how we use those troops).

To be clear:

Disapproval of policy !=  Disapproval of troops.

As for the Kathy Griffin thing, you're right, I didn't watch it, for two reasons.

1) Whenever I get challenged to provide evidence, I provide links because it's my job to make the case; if you had provided a link I might have watched it, but I might not have because...
2) I don't really like her voice. :-)

Didn't have to Nick

No need, your own sentences (note the direct quote) did you in.  You were hoist upon your own petard.

Sorry you can't be bothered to back up your own assertion, not my problem.  I'm not going to do your homework for you.  Watch, or don't. 

Either way, it's a losing proposition for you.

Good night.

 

In his own words (19 seconds):  This man is qualified to be VP?

bwah?

Blonde,

Sorry, but I respectfully disagree--or maybe I just don't understand your point. The bit of my post that you quoted clearly states a difference between praise of troops and criticism of policy on how they are used. Strange, my petard feels particularly unhoisted today.

As for not backing up my assertion, my earlier post that mentioned Kathy Griffin was not an assertion but a request for examples; now you say you know of an example, but you don't want to share the link?

Well, maybe tomorrow morning you'll feel more generous, and I can watch the video that you're thinking of, and we can discuss it. Until then, good night.

I'm guessing the video

I'm guessing the video doesn't really exist. 

Snarky, lazy balboa

You seriously ought to know better than to accuse me of that.

Here's a clue for you, podna.

Try the beginning of Season 2.  Other than that, I'm not doing any more research for you, so you may as well just STFU!

 

In his own words (19 seconds):  This man is qualified to be VP?

I actually found it Blonde,

I actually found it Blonde, and it was rather anticlimactic. Yeah, she bombed at first, but then bounced back. Happens to all comedians. Sorry you had to be so put out by copying and pasting a link. That must have been really, really tiring. You should take a nap.

hahaha

"That must have been really, really tiring. You should take a nap."

Bal, that had me laughing... don't know why, but just your very mild delivery of jokes CAN be funny at times.

(Nothing personal, JJ, just thought the nap thing was funny regardless who it was directed at... :p)

You dont understand any thing

 
But that doesn't mean that their superiors are always right.

So we should let every solider comment?

We have a
long history of good soldiers being killed through bad tactics, bad
strategy, and even bad politics.

Examples of this "Long" history,,,please? 

And again, I asked for examples of antipathy towards the troops--your
example of Kathy Griffin "bombing" doesn't show antipathy. (It might
show that she's not that funny, or that she mis-judged what her
audience would find funny.)

Your kidding right? What do the words "cannon fodder" mean to you? The msm NEVER has a positive story about anything military or USA, but you could go find us one and share it if you like. Of course the hope and change Obama refrences dont count.

 

"Television is a freak show" Bernie Goldberg

GC, you yourself said it,

GC, you yourself said it, when discussing Aerosmith and Robin Williams:

They may not approve of current policy, but I believe both have an enormous respect for our folks in uniform.

I never said anything about how soldiers should comment on or refuse legal orders from superiors. Seriously, we started talking about how Jon Stewart supports the troops through his USO activities--that's all we're talking about here, whether or not certain celebrities support the troops through their USO tours. We're not talking about how the soldiers themselves should act.

As for examples of bad tactics, bad strategy, bad politics, I feel like the Civil War is a good war if you want examples of that. Let's take the First Battle of Bull Run:

seeking a quick victory, politicians pestered Brig. Gen McDowell into deploying his army earlier than he wanted to (bad politics); a Union artillery unit was placed in an exposed place and taken by Confederate forces who happened to be wearing blue uniforms (bad tactics); McDowell's strategy for the battle is generally considered overly complex for green troops. (I could go on, but I think you get the picture.)

And after the Union lost Bull Run, McDowell was replaced.

As for Kathy Griffin, again, I'd need to see a video or transcript before commenting. (But again, I don't really like her voice.)

Dont misunderstand NN

 They may not approve of current policy, but I believe both have an enormous respect for our folks in uniform.

 This is a condition for me. This line is very thin.

You are defending some folks who are simply not worth your words. Maybe I am as well. These folks are more then capable of representing themselves without our involvment what so ever.

"Television is a freak show" Bernie Goldberg

Hi GC, The chances of Jon

Hi GC,

The chances of Jon Stewart coming here to defend himself seem slim... although, hey, I guess any of us could be Jon Stewart in real life. That's a funny thought.

Anyway, thanks for clarifying your position--you can say it's a thin line between praising troops and criticizing policy, but I still think that's a line we can draw.

My main point was simply that Mike is wrong if he thinks Stewart mocks American soldiers--he may mock the policies behind their actions, but Jon Stewart has shown a great deal of respect towards our fighting men. (And a lot of it, he's done out of the limelight.)

So, you can call him an unfunny, unintelligent, biased East Coast liberal elite if you want--but people who tear him apart for his un-American ways should know that, in terms of supporting our troops and veterans, he's done a lot of good work as an American.

Nobody is asking him to come here

He defends himself with every word. At the very least, he is a pompas jack@ss and a hater. This I know from his own words.

 

"Television is a freak show" Bernie Goldberg

You are wrong, Nick.

And it's been explained on this thread already: It is cognitively dissonant to believe an individual can respect our troops while simultaneously mocking their actions, or even the "policies behind their actions."

"Gee, I respect you, but the leadership behind your orders?  The people you're following?  Hey, filth the foul out of 'em, and they can go filthy foul a filth until they foul and filth some more.  But I think you're great, of course..."

Mike,

Have you ever watched football and yelled at a decision the coach made or a play the QB called? My guess is yes.

Now, by yelling at the QB, were you also yelling at the rest of the team? My guess is no.

Sorry, Mike, but it's very easy and not at all cognitively dissonant to respect the troops and criticize the policies. 

As for examples of bad tactics, bad strategy, bad politics,

 Yea, ok. Just thought you had something a bit more resent in mind. Besides they did fight Manassas twice, making it twice as bad.

Bal,

I hear what you are saying, but, when they act like the folks on the upper west side when the McCain supporters were walking by they will be percieved to be out of touch.  They don't do a very good job splainin' their views.  Usually a la the View crew.  No pun intended.

Speaking as a New Yorker

Speaking as a New Yorker (albeit transplanted), people in small towns are sick and tired of being condescended to by big city dwellers.  Just about every big city in this country has been run into the ground by the kind of socialist policies promised by the Democrats and Obama.  Big city liberals, not content to simply ruin big cities, now want to spread their brand of failure into "flyover country"...and with the help of Sarah Palin, "flyover country" is saying to big city liberals, "You're entitled to practice your failed economic policy in your metropolis, just stop trying to spread the disease into my neighborhood.  And, by God, stay the HELL out of my wallet."  I think that about sums it up.

Noel,

I've lived on one coast or another for most of my life.  I've been exposed to these urban know-it-alls for some time now.  They've never had to meet a payroll, they've never had to think about paying taxes, they have their business managers pay for others to do the "dirty work" (like cleaning the house and raising the kids) and they believe they are smarter than those of us who must deal with the numbers on a daily basis.  I've always believed that if the elitists in Georgetown, Bel Air and Central Park West (not to mention the blue collar workers throughout the country) were paid the gross and forced to write monthly tax checks to the Federal, State, County, and City Governments (and the Social Security Administration), they might actually appreciate how much their money is wasted.  But they are lulled into a false sense of security that they are only entitled to what they receive...the net.  I heard Jason Lewis refer to this as "invincible ignorance".

Mike,

While I can't guarentee it, everything I've seen about Jon leads me to believe he'd love to have her on the show.

the campaign would have none of it though.

Then we'd see just how much of a coward Stewart is.

And if "the campaign" would let Gov. Palin do SNL, The Daily Show would be a cakewalk; thus, your assessment appears to be wrong.

Sitting across the table, do you--does anyone?--honestly think ol' Jon will really lob a capital F and three asterisks, so to speak, at Sarah Palin?

If he wouldn't do it face-to-face, he demonstrates that he is, undeniably, a coward.

And Jon, once again I'd love to be on your show so I can share this insight with you face-to-face.  As of yet, no e-mails from your people setting this up, but I'm a patient guy...

He wouldn't, of course, because she could just pull out a list and start reading time after time that liberals have trashed Americans and the US. I love how they get so defensive about having their patriotism questioned and then turn right around and continue quoting one of their heroes, like Chomsky. Maybe Stewart could have Bill "can only bang hookers' Maher on to talk about how stupid he thinks Americans are or how the terrorists on 9/11 were courageous. And, among the liberal elite, there are millions of Mahers. And Ayers and Ward Churchills. America is always wrong, Americans are idiots and, of course, the US military are nothing but murderers and rapists. Except for, as of 9am yesterday, Colin Powell.

Guess I missed the show where Stewart told Obama F' YOU

Guess I missed the show where Stewart told Obama F' YOU in response to Obama's "clinging to guns and religion" comment.  Or one of Michelle Obama's comments (take your pick). By the way, what ever happened to Michelle?  Aside from the cleaned-up, 2.0 version of Michelle we saw at the convention, don't think I've heard her speak since the Dem primary ended.  During the primary, she was stumping every day.

My guess is that Stewart made some joke about the people Obama was criticizing, rather than slamming Obama for what he said.

We watched the stock market bubble burst in 2000.

The housing bubble burst during the past couple of years.

Can't wait to watch The Messiah-Obama bubble burst.

Michelle is in Florida

Michelle Obama is set to speak in Pensacola tomorrow.  She will be at the Pensacola Civic Center - the same venue that hosted Sarah Palin about two weeks ago.  It seats approx 10K and they had to turn people away for Sarah.  I am very interested to see what kind of crowd that Michelle can draw.  The local newspaper here is www.pnj.com  they will probably have a live feed for her speech tomorrow.

patriotmom...I will be very surprised if Michelle...

Obama brings in the same size crowd that Sarah did. My hometown is right down the road from you in FWB, and my folks still live there. They keep me informed of what is going on locally, and apparently when Sarah came, they had to move the event to the civic center, because the initial location wasn't big enough to accommodate the crowd they were expecting.

We'll see if MO can do as well, but I doubt it...

My Anger

http://www.associate...

I am a freelance advocate of abortion rights who is on duty 24/7. My office is a bench in a shopping mall where I am on the alert for any woman who shows signs of pregnancy. Once my target is spotted I pose as person taking a health survey offering 50 bucks for only ten questions answered. Rarely is my generous offer refused. Within a few questions I am able to know how many months they are pregnant and how they feel about developing a fetus. Most of the women I interview say that their pregnancy is accidental and they are not fit psychologically or financially to raise a child. After a short conversation I come to the rescue by offering to pay the cost of an abortion plus a bonus of five hundred bucks. Fortunately most of those cursed women enter my favorite clinic to be given a new lease on life.

I knew how it felt to grow up  being unwanted. My mother abandoned me after birth and I spent my early life in an orphanage. My keepers said that my mother could not raise me. Many years later I met her and asked why she sent me to an orphanage. Her response was that she was not ready to have a child. I asked why she didn't abort me. She said that it was illegal, and besides she couldn`t  afford the black market price. I felt like spitting in her face but turned around and left, never to see her again. I wish loonies that prevent a poor woman from having an abortion were forced to pay child support and charged with contributing to child abuse. The scars of being physically and psychologically abused in my early years remain with me. That is why I have become a freelance advocate of abortion rights.

melpol, If you could go

melpol,

If you could go back in time, would you pay your mother the same bonus?

If so, who would take up the nobel killing spree you are on?

Are "accidental" children the only miserable creatures deserving of your sympathy? Couldn't you branch out to others with misery? So much misery; so little time, huh melpol.

the utter hypocrisy

So, I presume that melpol's answer to the question "Do you wish now that you were aborted then?" is affirmative?  Is he/she actually saying that he/she wishes now that he/she was aborted then?  Does he/she really believe that we here are supposed to cheer him/her on? "Yeah, that's right!  You tell 'em!  We agree with you (melpol) that you should've been aborted!!" 

If not, then he/she should get over him/herself and get a life (one that he/she was fortuitously granted, thanks to the ethical laws in place over the milennia up until just 35 years ago).

Jon Stewart I'm Calling You Out

After pondering this for about 3 seconds, I deem the honor of Gov. Palin is indeed worth this leather glove slap across the face of Jon Stewart.

Now a duel is against the law, but I instead for the honor of Gov. Palin challenge the pathetic Jon Stewart to choose his metal and wood tool that just so happens to have a thing in it that goes bang.

We will stand back to back, walk 10 paces as the English did and turn and use our tools which for some reason go bang.

This foul mouthed for profit and defamation of America must stop and if it takes one of me becoming room temperature as Barry Goldwater and Nathan Hale so instructed, I have no problem with it as I know I will hit my mark.

It will be a fair use of tools and if several of these liberals do not get to go home to their million dollar homes like David Letterman then soon the rest will decide that being civil to a Lady is more of a benefit than ending up in hell.

I will repeat I advocate nothing illegal here, but a simple stroll with tools for the honor of a Lady.

"One would think someone as intelligent as Stewart..."

Presumably Noel is either being gracious or sarcastic with this comment, as Stewart does not exhibit behaviors consistent with intelligence.

Telling someone "F U" is about the most banal utterance one can make -- one that requires no intelligence whatsoever, and indeed, demonstrates quite the opposite.  What's he going to do next, bitch-slap her?  Sounds like a closet misogynist to me.

Folks, I'm going to have to take my gloves off...I have seen Palin be the butt of jokes of the Hollywood crowd, the left leaning, communist worshipping, socialist symphatizing, Malevolent storytelling media (MSM).  It's time we say this to the unfunny, classless clowns like Jon Stewart, Richard Lewis, Sandra Bernhard, Margaret Cho, Bill Maher, Janeane Garofalo, Tina Fey, Joy Blowhard, Whoopsie Goldberg, David Letterman, Jay Leno, and all those jokes who call themselves entertainers:  FUCK YOU ALL!

This same goes to Matt Damon, George Clooney, Madonna, Barbra Streisand, Barbara WaWa, Ben Affleck, Alec Baldwin, Pamela Anderson, Lindsay Lohan, Ellen DeGeneres, Oprah Winfrey and those other Obamatons and actors/actresses who have given their support or endorsement to the Kenyan-Indonesian running for POTUS.  I will not contain my temperament any longer because we keep allowing these agents of evil bestow upon us the hate-filled ideology that they chose to embrace.  I know NB will probably reprimand me for this but this is my venue for spewing forth my freedom of speech principle.  These celebretards have been getting away with so much crap about conservatives that we have no choice but to fight back.  Who's with me?

I'm with you

I say we take it to these jerks.

. I think that we should give all these clowns a taste of their own medicine.

My boyfriend was one of

My boyfriend was one of those who got all his information from The Daily Show, The Colbert Report and Bill Maher. He was the most uninformed, ignorant, arrogant, head-in-the-sand person I'd ever met. I overlooked as much as I could and I truly loved him.

But he's also now my ex-boyfriend. :)

And maybe it's just a liberal thing, the love of saying to someone "f*** you," because my ex loved to say that to me when I would voice my opinion.

Your reaction to liberal

Your reaction to liberal boyfriend. Take solace in the fact that you made the right decision and he is now your X!

MeowMeow...

(I am a HUGE cat lover, and I love your name!) 

Anyway...about your post...Your ex sounds like he is typical of the ignorant, uninformed masses that make up the audiences for Maher, Stewart, Colbert, The Daily Kos and the rest of the loony fringe left. It's too bad that you weren't able to get through to him, but types like that are virtually impossible to reason with. 

(And good for you that you aren't subjected that abusive garbage anymore!)

Not to judge, but it sounds like your ex was verbally abusive.  Nobody should put up with anyone telling them "F U" when they voice their opinion.  You made the right choice.  Don't look back.  There are plenty of good men out there.

Danke

Thank you all very much. :)

He thought I was intellectually inferior. Yet when I mentioned Karl Rove, he had *no* idea who I was talking about.

I don't know if I'd call it verbal abuse, but he definitely talked down to me. We talked about getting married -- thank God we're done.

He was also an atheist and proud of it. You couldn't have found two people more opposite.

I hope there are some nice Republican single men out there!

You're very welcome, Meow...

Most liberals think anyone who doesn't think like and agree with them, are intellectually inferior. Boy, the joke's on them, isn't it???

Anyway, things have a way of working out the way they should, and I'm glad they did for you.

Glad to have you aboard!

Yay!

Thanks y'all! I am glad to be on here. I've been telling all conservatives I know about this site. Between this and Rush, my blood can go from boiling to a simmer.

I wonder -- I just wonder -- what the MSM will do if McCain wins this election? I can see covers of Newsweek with a picture of a forlorn Obama with the title of "What Happened?" headlining. They are literally incapable of imagining anything other than an Obama presidency. And maybe, if conservative voter turnout is high, and I suspect it will be, all of their crowing and bias will have finally shot them in the foot.

Meow...We can pray, hope and wait...

I'm with you! I have imagined more than once what the left's reaction will be if Obamessiah loses. I just hope that we get the chance to see it!!!

First though, all of us out here have to get to the polls and vote, vote, vote!!!

I think the left's reaction

I think the left's reaction will go something like this...

"How could this BE? We were ahead in all the polls?"

"They must have cheated..."

 "Lets go out in our neighborhoods and break some windows and steal some stuff..."

"Lets challenge the win in court..."

"McCain and Palin "Stole" the election"

It won't be fun to watch.

sheryl...It may not be fun to to watch, but...

It will be monumentally better than watching and listening to the unending, insufferable gloating, chest-thumping and smarmy, smug we-told-you-so snottiness coming from the left, if Obama were to win. 

An Obama win will be seen by all on the insane looney left as a complete validation of their asinine policies and theories. That prospect is just too horrible to contemplate.

You'll have quite the fan club, no doubt!

Speaking as a happily married man, you'll be much better off without someone as clueless as he appears to have been.  

My wife and I are able to have intelligent discussions on any topic under the sun, and that's a good thing.  We love each other, yes, but we like, admire, and appreciate each other, too.  

Sounds as though your ex didn't hold you in high esteem.  Never a good thing.

I've seen enough of him to conclude..

...Jon Stewart is a total pussy. Why? Not even because of his politics, but because of the way he reacts when someone calls him out on his The Daily Suck-Up-To-The Democrats "we make fun of everyone equally" Show. He gets so visably mad and pouty. A real man, or at least someone who's not insecure in his beliefs would just admit their angle instead of the knee-jerk whining "it's just comedy! we're just kidding! etc etc"

And remember a couple years ago when he went on Crossfire and was wailing "Stop it! You're ruining the country!Whaaaahh!". Too bad Pat Buchanan wasn't there to slap him across the face ala Patton.

Finally, he stutters too much when he talks:
"Ummmm, uhhhh, you know, ummmm, you know, you....you know that, ummmmmm...."

Grow a pair! Just spit out what you want to say and say it!

Welcome to Liberal Debating 101. 

  • Lie
  • Attack
  • Display moral outrage
  • Claim racist/sexist/homophobic
  • Did I mention LIE

Liberals to not rely on facts as much as emotion. Often, when confronted with the truth, liberals become outraged and attack either verbally or physically.

If conservatives are RIGHT, then liberals must be WRONG.

liberal debating

Yeah, attack, attack. My ex did that a lot, and he always made it personal because he couldn't attack me on the facts because he never knew what I was talking about.

On the day we split, we were sitting in a restaurant and I was talking about how state employees in Alabama might be subject to paying for part of their health coverage if they have a BMI over a certain number. My thought was that the government needs to stay out of our business and quit micro-managing everyone. He said, "That's the stupidest f***ing thing I've ever heard." (Yes, within earshot of other patrons.)

I told him that liberals are by far the most close-minded people I know. They're only open-minded if you agree with them. And I stand by that.

He slammed his credit card on the table and said, "This is our last meal, then."

I didn't resist. :)

Libs are so lovely, no? What with the manners, and cursing, and accusing. Name calling. Hypocrisy. I could go on.....

MeowMeow, 2 people on my buddy list met here in NB!

Are getting Married! At one time they planned to drop by on their way to Fiji.. however their 401-k's are now 201-k 's ..one is layed off.

yes NB is a great site... lots of  very smart ; Jeopardy smart gang here. 

And the trools, so like your ex boyfriend.... arg.

 

CLIMATE CRISIS

Jon Stewart

I wonder if Stewart's mother taught him those words he so freely uses? They had to come from somewhere, I'm sure he couldn't have thought of them himself. I wonder if he in turn, teaches his children how to use them?

Yeah, but LC

You know you'll never get that glove clean again!  :D

Hypocrites!!!!

Of course someone as liberal as Stewart is going to say something totally immature and ridiculous about Sarah Palin. The liberals are having hissy fits because here is a strong woman with experience, a loving family and a husband who supports her 100% and she's a CONSERVATIVE! The feminists must be imploding because here is everything they've wanted in a candidate for VP, except that she is conservative. That counts out any woman for the liberals. Never mind that she put her self through college, got elected to office in her town and then elected as Governor. Never mind that she's the embodiment of the "I Am Woman" anthem of the 70's.

What a bunch of hypocrites. And who really gives a flying fig what Jon Stewart says. He hasn't an ounce of talent and he's not funny. He's your typical liberal whiner.

Go Sarah!

DaMama Great points!

The liberals are having hissy fits because here is a strong woman with experience, a loving family and a husband who supports her 100% and she's a CONSERVATIVE!

Stewart wasn't trying to be 'funny', he wants to completely insult Sarah Palin-just like so many of the liberal left.  Has Stewart ever said F*CK YOU to Obama?  Didn't think so. Wonder what Stewart would do if somebody said F*CK YOU to his wife/mother/sister???

 

Awful

The political atmosphere is deteriorating rapidly, as evidenced by the increasingly vicious attacks from the left.  At this rate, during the next 2 weeks, it will be perfectly legal to assault Republicans at every opportunity. 

So much for liberal intelligence

"One would think someone as intelligent as Stewart would recognize the hypocrisy."

One would also think that the liberals here who are defending Stewart for his fowl mouth and insulting, disrespectful statements would also recognize their own hypocrisy and that they would admit that it is this type of "comedy routine" which is contributing the very divisiveness they supposedly find so abhorrent in others.

Obama: My job is above my pay grade

Getting Closer

With two weeks left to go, it is time we seriously think why we should reject Obama and his gang from stealing the Presidency of the United States.  Folks, I'll make it clear:

Do we want free enterprise and clear capitalism (though imperfect) or do we want a Soviet-style socialism where everything (businesses, industries) end up being nationalized for the sake of "wealth distribution"?

Do we want a flawed yet true patriot McCain or a self-loving, narcissistic man who gets to say he loves America in front of an open microphone but loathes the country off it? 

Do we want to elect a man to the highest office in the land with past affiliations with terrorists, and is much loved now in the terrorist world, and still has questionable associations, whose only goal is to fulfill his own ambitions without regard to anyone else....

or do we want to elect a man who had a chance to betray his country but never did out of his love for it?  And was beaten badly in the process.

Economically, do we want to elect a man, though economics is his tougher grasp, but will do anything to help its foundations become more stronger or,

elect a man who will say anything to get elected, even to the point of giving universal healthcare for all, illegals included?

My point is, we will be paying for the big expenditures the Kenyan-Indonesian is planning to implement once he becomes POTUS.  My fear is, my hard-earned tax dollars will support his egotistical agenda that this country will be ruined for generations to come when this Manchurian candidate leaves office.

So, God help us and let's go out there and spread the word:  Stop Obama and his minions.  I have personally been insulted and threatened about criticizing the One's proposed policies.  I don't mind touting the right cause because that is the only decent thing left to defend.  

Elect McCain-Palin! 

 

Jon Stewart just addressed

Jon Stewart just addressed this whole thing. At the end of his show he said that he really didn't mean for his remark to be directed solely at Sarah Palin as it was really addressed to everyone furthering on this whole STUPID notion of more American / less American parts of the country.

He finished with something like "So it's not so much a f--- you as, f--- all y'all." 

Oh boa...well isn't that

Oh boa...well isn't that just precious....golly shucks....everything is A-Ok now...

You betcha'...doggone it~

Thanks for the update...after any damage that can be done from the filthy soulless b#st*rd like Maher.

....what a guy...

 

<edit>..oops, I meant Stewart, same difference to me anyway.

"America isn't the problem...America is the solution." ~ Rush Limbaugh

Since I don't watch it too much, thanks for the update.

I don't think anyone with an ounce of sense could believe him for a picosecond.  He's engaging in the coward's play of "retrofitting," i.e. "What I really meant to say was..." something other than what he actually said.

But thanks for the information.

Doesn't seem like an apology as much as, "I didn't mean to single her out. I meant to single out ALL people who think this way."
