Jon Stewart on whether he's a "self-hating Jew" ...
Look, theres a lot of reasons why I hate myself being Jewish isnt one of them, Stewart told the reporter. So when someone starts throwing that around, or throwing around youre pro-terrorist, its more just disappointing than anything else. Ive made a living for 16 years criticizing certain policies that I think are not good for America. That doesnt make me anti-American. And if I do the same with Israel, that doesnt make me anti-Israel. You cannot outsmart dogma, no matter what you do. If there is something constructive in what theyre saying, hopefully Im still open enough
to take it in and let it further inform my position. But Im pretty impermeable to yelling. As soon as they go to, Your real name is Leibowitz! thats when I change the channel.

(260 posts)This was an obvious slam against Mark Levin, without naming him directly. Levin is the one who criticized Stewart for not using his real name and not supporting Israel 100% without question.
I flipped through one of his books once. He opposes the minimum wage and thinks people who make it are losers and insignificant. What a compassionate guy.
