    I think his impact on American culture is very over stated. For example despite what one commentator said he is not our generations Johnny Carson, he just didn't come close to that size of an audience. Nevertheless when he finally does retire at the end of the year I hope he enjoys it.

    Seriously? I hope a lot of things for him and enjoying his retirement is way far down on that list...

    Why shouldn't he enjoy his retirement? He made his money fair. Just because we don't like the product doesn't mean he doesn't have a right to enjoy what he's earned in the market.

    Thank you for demonstrating the exact reason conservatives and the right wing in America are not respected. Now Jon Stewart has disrespected my people and he constantly bashes us. He is my enemy. I hope only the worst of things happens to him.

    You don't have to like him. Nevertheless he has a right to the money he's made, he lives in America.

    Notice i never said anything about his money or him keeping it. I just am not wishing for his last years on earth to be smooth and peachy for him like you seem to be doing.

    He's worth $80 million. The morning talk show guys here, suggest it might be something deeper.

    Stewart controls the show. He could easily tape the show while his kids are in school. He doesn't need the money. Their take: His movie Rosewater was panned and he has decided either to get out of the public eye or spend a lot more time working other projects.

    Then run him. It's not like you don't already have a stolen election B-comedian Senator.

    If Comedy Central wants to continue getting good ratings, hire Greg Gutfeld away from FOX.

    What passes for Democrat news is unintentionally comedy.

    Oh no!

    If this career entertainer leaves his satirical comedy show, how will the "informed and enlightened" get their "news"?

    Stewart is a nasty little bigot. He seems to spend most of his time attacking ethnic groups other than his own. He ridicules African Americans with ugly stereotypes, he belittles Hispanics, he insults Christians, he enthuses over the bombing of Africans even as he ignores Israeli brutality.

    Sanchez Fired After Calling Jon Stewart a Bigot

    Chris Wallace schools Jon Stewart.

    Jon Stewart Called 'Coward,' Under Threat of Boycott for 'Vagina Manger'

    Jon Stewert Praises the Murder of Moammar Gadhafi and the Illegal NATO Bombing of Libya « American Everyman

    Kind of cowardly too. When others point out his lies and his bias he claims to be only a comic.

    Never. I have nothing against him, just not a fan of his out-of-context style of insulting people... no matter what side of the aisle they're on.
    That said, he can be quite funny. But Conservatives don;t do what you say in regard to Stewart and you can't prove otherwise.

    You're just lying.



    Since you're so easily influenced, you might want to consider it's you who has the problem... and not those who you hate.

    Too late! The dumbing-down of the country has already been thoroughly accomplished, thanks to the submersion of common sense and rational thought processes in hyperliberal, "progressive" emotions and thought-processes.

    I give you in evidence the triumph of Obamacare, which Jonathon Gruber, one of its Democrat prime architects, credited to the STUPIDITY OF THE AMERICAN VOTER: http://www.forbes.com/sites/theapot...ares-tax-hikes-and-subsidies-from-the-public/

    In fairness to Stewart, he made fun of his fellow flaming-Liberals about 10% of the time, and smeared Conservatives about 90% of the time. Looking at the behavior and biases of Obama's ass-kissing, hyperliberal-infested media, Stewart was actually more of a "moderate" than many of his kind....

    It was a comedy show... on Comedy Central.

    I don't think he needs to be held accountable for accuracy and honesty. He's just a comedian.

    It sure did seem odd when libs ran here to support the things he said though.
    While dissing Limbuagh, Hannity, etc.

    Don't blame it on Stewart; you're the reason conservatives are so disrespected.

    Or he could be tired of doing it after 16 or so years. I mean, the guys probably getting tired of doing the same thing over and over again.

    And rosewater got pretty consistently positive reviews......
