To the trend-setters on the set of The Daily Show, white-mocking prayers are adorable, and experience in race-baiting churches is an "enormous advantage" for Barack Obama. When liberal PBS Washington Week host Gwen Ifill showed up on Tuesday to plug her "Age of Obama" book, Jon Stewart suggested Rev. Joseph Lowery was "maybe the most adorable man I’ve ever seen." Ifill suggested "Isn’t he the cutest civil rights leader ever?" That’s a strange reaction for a preacher who prayed at the Obama inauguration that one day the clueless Caucasians will be enlightened: "white will embrace what is right." Ifill and Stewart were discussing how Obama’s victory changes the black civil rights movement:
STEWART: Where does it leave the old guard in that movement?
IFILL: It depends on which ones are the old guard. Joe Lowery, who gave the benediction, that great benediction at the Inauguration –
STEWART: Man, that was maybe the most adorable man I’ve ever seen.
IFILL: Isn’t he the cutest civil rights leader ever?
STEWART: He was the cutest – I wish I had one in my pocket right now, just pull him out.
IFILL: I keep him in my pocket. He’s completely adorable. He was on the Obama bandwagon early on.
A little later, as Ifill explained that Obama’s Democrat convention played up the Kansas roots and played down the Kenyan ones, Stewart decleared he liked the idea of Obama spending two decades fermenting in the anti-American, anti-white bitterness of Jeremiah Wright’s church:
STEWART: But I like the idea that he had the experience of being in Reverend Wright’s church and also in Kansas. To be able to empathize with what people are really going through, you need to be able to touch their experience.
IFILL: That’s true.
STEWART: And I think that’s an enormous advantage.
What? To be "able to touch their experience" in the poor areas of Chicago, you have to applaud (and financially support) the racial rabies of Reverend Wright?
There are liberals who are still trying to explain Wright was only talking reality.

as for that Reverend, if it were a conservative who said those things, the ACLU crowd and Jon Stewart would be excoriating him for his racism.
reparations
February 1, 2009 - 09:13 ET by CatherwoodWhat this religious socialist is saying and what that hack reporter and hack comedian are promoting is reparations. In about two years the American taxpayers, black and white, will be hit with about a $trillion or so in reparations money for victims of slavery. For those of you who are yet aware of it, check out what the Chosen One has inspired:
(Please note that $8 million has already been set aside to study this thinly veiled scam by which billions will be taken from taxpayers and redistributed to whomever cries the loudest)
→ Lowery's like a union
February 1, 2009 - 09:38 ET by Cool ArrowHe just can't believe he's seen in his lifetime what he thought he'd never see in his lifetime.
In the same way Unions now drag down economic development, Lowery's salt is insipid.

the unemployment line
February 1, 2009 - 10:12 ET by JWFSTEWART: Where does it leave the old guard in that movement?
Seeing as how we are not bigots or racists and we don't discriminate, I would say that leaves them out of a job.
It leaves them on the unemployment line.

How should I feel about the 4 black thugs that mugged me ...
February 1, 2009 - 10:17 ET by Jayke... in high school? Should I attribute their crime to reparations for the beatings their ancestors may or may not have suffered as slaves? Should I cast aspersions on the whole black race for what happened to me all those years ago? Should I hold on to ill will towards black people in general? If I were to follow Lowry's example, the answer is YES.
→ 100% Jayke
February 1, 2009 - 10:26 ET by Cool ArrowObviously a fair assessment.
100% of the people who have mugged my wife fit that category
100% of the people who have held me up at gunpoint fit also.
Lowry's stereotyping of whites could easily cut both ways. Jesse Jackson agrees:

Gotta give the old guy points for honesty.
Thanks, that cracked me up.
In order to be pro-choice, one must first be born. Ah, the irony.
Adorable?
February 1, 2009 - 10:33 ET by choselife3xSounds patronising as hell to me.
Babies, are adorable. Fluffy little bunnies, are adorable.
Racists, are abominable.
In order to be pro-choice, one must first be born. Ah, the irony.
Joseph Lowery is a race-hustling pimp
February 1, 2009 - 11:13 ET by R D HelmThis pathetic, racist throwback to 1963 has made his living sowing racial division at every opportunity. When has hasn't been able to come up with a legitimate racial issue to exploit, he simply made one up.
The idea that this lying fraud of a "reverend" is some sort of civil rights "hero" is utter nonsense.

Our clueless political leaders are about to drive us all over a cliff. The time to HITM is now-before we go over.
What excuse does BARRKY's half brother GEORGE have ...
February 1, 2009 - 11:34 ET by Jayke... for being a HOMELESS DRUGGIE? I suppose it's "the white's" FAULT that KENYA is a COMMIE/MOHAMMEDAN HELL HOLE. Why was he arrested recently? I thought everyone in Kenya toked on BHANG. Could it be that George has some DAMNING information about his half brother BARRKY? Like the fact BARRKY was born in MOMBASSA?
Excuses, excuses..

John Stewart is an idiot
February 1, 2009 - 12:41 ET by clubchamp6He is a Jew who is for Hamas and the Palestienians and now a white guy who is for all of the racist black people who blame the whites for their problems.
As I tell my three sons " Look in the mirror because you are now the enemy"
What deep thinkers these people are...

Wait. I thought *this* was the cutest civil rights leader ever:

Last week on a radio
February 1, 2009 - 15:16 ET by RR GOPLast week on a radio station the ABC News announcer even mentioned Jon Stewart's take on something (can't remember what exactly). For some reason, that actually surprised me!
One of the 24% who thinks George W. Bush was a great President. One of the 89% who wants to bring back the stock and pillory.

February 1, 2009 - 15:30 ET by sherylsimsI remember hearing some "legitimate" news source mention Jon Stewart awhile back too! and thought "Isn't JS a COMEDIAN?" I mean, I realize a lot of people get their "news" from the Daily Show, but even on the show Jon calls it a "Fake news show." Now what he says is being treated with credibility?? (The story wasn't about him, it was his treatment of it)
I remember hearing some
February 2, 2009 - 00:29 ET by Dave DOh, he's "just a comedian" whenever someone starts seriously ripping into him and he's wants an easy and cheap retort. (You know, that old "Clown nose on/Clown nose off" thing others have noticed.)Of course it's still weird he even claims this at times given all the serious people he has on the show.

February 2, 2009 - 12:24 ET by slickwillie2001Stewart is a comedian like Martin Sheen is a President. Stewart is a Grade-D actor that has a role in a tv show where he reads jokes written by a huge staff of joke writers. That so many people in our country see him as a source of news is a sad commentary on the state of our nation.
