Fuck Jon Stewart. He's a shill for Obama, and nothing more.

[LJC4Liberty]

Well, with the crap the Republicans put on the ballot, shill or no shill, we're sunk!

I posted this for the humor...don't you have a sense of one??? And also to point out that
the only candidate he left off his list of how we got here is our beloved Ron Paul.

...jeeeze :)

[BenIsForRon]

Fuck Jon Stewart. He's a shill for Obama, and nothing more.

Well he's been doing the daily show since '99, so he has to be more than that, if you just think logically about it.

[Article V]

Fuck Jon Stewart. He's a shill for Obama, and nothing more.So what you're saying is... you'd have preferred if Jon Stewart included Ron Paul as one of the stupid, incompetent Republicans that make Mitt Romney the "2nd luckiest dude on the planet" after Obama. Wow. Are you a moron?

By not including Ron Paul in the list, Stewart was indirectly complimenting and showing respect for Ron Paul.

[CaptUSA]

Well he's been doing the daily show since '99, so he has to be more than that, if you just think logically about it.Yeah, he's a shill against the Republicans. Just like Rush is a shill against the Democrats.

Just loud-barking dogs that know how to keep the herd tightly compacted by chasing them away from the other side.

[QuickZ06]

He has been sounding a lot like Bill Maher more and more recently, to the point I quit watching it. And his crowd for the most part is just plain annoying and flawed in their logic.

[fisharmor]

Yeah, he's a shill against the Republicans. Just like Rush is a shill against the Democrats.

There's no real comparison there.
The talent that Rush has on loan from God is obviously rental talent. The good talent is the stuff God gives out as gifts to people like Stewart.

[TheTexan]

By not including Ron Paul in the list, Stewart was indirectly complimenting and showing respect for Ron Paul.

Another interpretation is that Stewart didn't really have anything negative to say about Ron Paul, but sure as hell didn't want to say anything positive

I think he was scared of the interwebz, he knew not to mess with RP and his supporters. So he stayed neutral.

The Daily Show ran a sketch last night where they interviewed two people who have a business that helps 1%ers if they get depressed and things like that. It made me pretty fucking angry and I had to turn the channel. The basic jist of it was that 1%ers have nothing to complain about, and how could they possibly be unhappy with their life? I mean, look at all their money! It was very dehumanizing the way they did it.

I haven't watched that trash regularly in a decade. The Daily Show was way funnier before it became ultra-political.

[nobody's_hero]

I'm sorry but I can't really defend Romney here. Yeah, we know, big-gov liberals have always tried to imply that conservatives are intellectually inferior, an argument that doesn't hold water when they're the ones trying to turn the U.S. into a socialist nation which hasn't worked in all the times its been tried around the world.

But even in spite of that, Mitt Romney is prime, red meat and his hypocrisy alone is enough to ensure material for the likes of John Stewart from now until Mitt's career is over.

The GOP putting up Romney is like putting a bowl of ice cream in front of a fat kid, and I just can't stop him from eating it. Might as well get used to hearing about Mitt's multiple stances on issues from now until November. It's not like it's our fault. We tried to stop the GOP from going with this flip-flopper.

[Agorism]

Fuck Jon Stewart. He's a shill for Obama, and nothing more.

John Stewart is actually the one of the best sources of news in the US media market. I haven't watched MSNBC-Fox for years other than during the primary debates, but comedy central is actually pretty good.

Reality Check DESTROYS Jonny.

[green73]

I try to enjoy Stewart, and do often, but his overt leftism is sometimes more than I can bear.

I never have watched it regularly, but I seem to remember it being ultra-political even back when Kilborne was hosting. Could be wrong, though.

[Aratus]

he did make a witty and cognicent "FLOWERS FOR ALGERNON" reference that sorta suggests he read the book.

[Restore America Now]

At least Colbert mentioned Ron Paul on Tuesday night @ 0:56... ;)

By not including Ron Paul in the list, Stewart was indirectly complimenting and showing respect for Ron Paul.Another interpretation is that Stewart didn't really have anything negative to say about Ron Paul, but sure as hell didn't want to say anything positiveIn a joke where the key element of the comedy is that every single character in the joke (Obama, Romney, Perry, Santorum, Gingrich) are each more idiotic than the next and where the only reason Obama is ahead (and why Romney was ahead in the primary beforehand) is because Obama, by default alone (not intellect or talent), is the least likely of the bunch to say something incredibly stupid... introducing another character (Ron Paul) where the rule does not apply (because Ron Paul is not stupid) would be frivolously irrelevant and bad comedic writing. It would have not only wasted valuable air time in a short 22-minute program but it would utterly destroy and invalidate the humorous false premise of the comedy.

Anyone who wishes Ron Paul had been included in the joke (either positively or negatively) has either no concept of comedy writing or has no respect for Ron Paul.


I think he was scared of the interwebz, he knew not to mess with RP and his supporters. So he stayed neutral. You'd be wrong. Stewart is no coward. Regardless of his liberal leanings, his job is primarily to have a comedic take on the news.
Including Ron Paul on that particular joke would have ruined the writing. There's nothing more complicated to it than that.

[robmpreston]

The more I read angela's posts, the more I think Jesse had it right.

i feel very highly moral and almost totally avante garde intellectual when i namedrop gary johnson, jill stein and virgil goode,
and hope they are included in one of the debates. i think the third one is do!able. the second debate on october 11th will involve
the veep choises going at it, and of the four standard bearers for our two major parties, i feel joe biden is the intellectual lightweight.
jon steward was devastatingly witty, and effective especially if he had the wit to regard ron paul as an exception to the politics
as usual rules. now that SNL has implied that jerry ford's ghost has taken posession of mitt romney's body and brain, my my!!!

[QuickZ06]

Stewart is no coward.

Ok......

[FindLiberty]

SNL - Jerrold Ford's ghost has taken possession of Mitt Romney's body ...and brain.

lol

Yea but he is still just a little bit funny lol

Exactly. Perfect description. Watching select clips instead of the whole episode regularly mess things up sometimes.

Interview with Larry King


KING: I think you're a Democrat, Jon.

STEWART: I think that's probably correct. I think I would say I'm more of a socialist or an independent but, yes, I mean, no one would ever I think watching our show think that, boy, that guy is just leaning so far right.

KING: But you would knock the Democrats...

(CROSSTALK)

STEWART: Oh, sure.

KING: .. when a prime opportunity occurred.

STEWART: Oh, yes.

KING: Like Mark Twain, humor comes first.

STEWART: No, I always -- you know me. I've got the Mark Twain thing. What did he say?

KING: Humor comes first.

STEWART: Humor comes first, and I have that. I never met a man I didn't like -- that wasn't him, was it?

KING: He said that. You didn't believe that, did you?

STEWART: No, I didn't. But yes, clearly. I mean, your personal prejudices always get involved in the job.


he did make a witty and cognicent "FLOWERS FOR ALGERNON" reference that sorta suggests he read the book.

So did I....in middle school.

He called him a gremlin. Gee....thanks Colbert...

[LJC4Liberty]

Gee, I guess I am in the wrong place. I never thought posting this would turn into an exploration of the virtues/or lack there of, of a Mr. Jon Stewart and his comedy show.

I fully intended it to be a relishing in the BLOWBACK on Willard and his establishment cohorts for the awesome display of fairness and integrity during this race.

Laughter is the best medicine, enjoy it! Soon they will be rationing that too!

KING: He said that.For the record, "I never met a man I didn't like" was said by Will Rogers, not Mark Twain. Not that we should judge King & Stewart for not knowing that in passing conversation, just setting the record straight here so that we all know who said what.

I've no idea if Twain actually said "humor comes first." Twain's usually wittier than that when expressing anything. But I digress.

I thought it was funny. He wasn't exactly puffing up Obama, either. He did mention that Obama did enter the race at a disadvantage due to a less than stellar first term. Romney's just that big of a failure as a candidate.
