Jon Stewart calls out the NRA and the neocon circle jerk on their hypocritical bull(*)(*)(*)(*). [video]http://www.thedailyshow.com/watch/mon-may-6-2013/the-good--the-bad-and-the-crazy[/video] http://www.thedailyshow.com/
Stewart is a comedian. He has to say funny things to keep his job on TV. And he has a team of writers to put words in his mouth.
Video won't work on my phone, but tell me about the hypocritical BS and I'll give you the conservative explanation That's if you're actually interested
But it's okay when Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert have a self-serving partisan rally for them and their followers... I've lost a lot of respect for both of them over the years. I remember when Stewart went after Carlson and Begala on Cross Fire for being "partisan hacks" and people fawned over Stewart, as if he had done some courageous thing by pointing that out. Might as well say the sky is blue or that water is wet. Anyway, I think what Stewart does best is make fun of the media. Those clips are hilarious. But when he starts the ideological whinging, I usually change the channel.
What hypocrisy? Watched the video...Stewart made goofy remarks, to go with his goofy face. What was the "hypocritical bull(*)(*)(*)(*)" to which you refer?
Stewart is every bit of a "partisan hack" as the people he rallies against. [video=youtube;JiRBT5vl7Tk]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JiRBT5vl7Tk[/video]
Oh, I guess progressives are taking comedians seriously again. Funny, considering how often they chastise conservatives for taking liberal comedians words to the bank.
Oddly enough all Stewart did was show highlights from the NRA convention. The laugh track wrote itself
And 20-somethings and totally immature 30-somethings go to this puppet with a corporate hand up his ass for 'news'. Sad.
To be fair, he does have decent points on politics some of the time. His politics influences his comedy, not the other way around. I think he's dead wrong on this. I can't view the video because I'm not in the USA, but I remember seeing parts of it on Youtube. I couldn't care less about the NRA, but individuals shouldn't be assumed guilty before they use the weapon coercively. He makes some good points about police states, but he should look a little closer to home, at his gun policy.
I wonder do liberals care that their people own the entertainment industry? Do they feel some bit of shame or do they feel that liberals deserve to own it? I've wondered just why it is. Is it because most of the entertainment industry has Jewish people at the top? Or is it simply because performers are attention whores and that naturally lends itself to liberals?
Really? How about the speakers condemning using fear and emotion but then using fear and emotion in the same sentence? Or Cruz speaking out against harry Reid and the dems for using a filibuster and then bragging about using one two minutes later? Did you actually watch it? - - - Updated - - - Funny how when you can't actually address what was said you just spout insults
Got anything else? What one considers to be using fear and emotion is subjectable. You could have something with the filibuster line but hardly anything to make a thread about
Actually WATCH the show? How goofy! They don't even WATCH the clips of their OWN people or listen to what these hypocrites ACTUALLY say! The Republican bubble even obscures what is inside the Bubble for the people who are INSIDE it themselves! Whole philosophical mental landscapes of infectious, perpetual, self-sustaining ignorance. Yeah! Democrat filibusters are "tyranny", while bragging that Republican filibusters over the majority is "democracy in action!" Couldn't be sillier!
When I heard Beck talking (ranting) about how the "Founders" knew everything and predicted everything, he seems to turn them into god like figures. Like they could never have been wrong. It's insane to worship historical figures like this; they were men and men get things wrong. Although one of them said at the signing of the US constitution, that it would need revising each 17 years or so, to ensure it was kept current.
The Founders were pretty smart. America could use their common sense today as we struggle under an inadequate political elite who live only for the moment. But come to think of it we do still have the wisdom of the Founders in the Constitution which restrains tyrants like Obama and his cohorts in Washington.
