2. I never saw it, you would think they would have changed their
tune after being so publicly humiliated after such a hard hitting interview with Stewart, I loved the last line and what John called him, that was great!

3. Wow, Jon Was Serious
He was pleading with his hands clasped. I heard the audeo, but you need the video to get the full effect. Thanks.

6. He even seemed afraid...
wel maybe afraid is not the word, but at first he even seemed like he was expecting a backlash against him for what he was going to say, but was determined to say it anyway.

It just seemed like an incredibly BRAVE thing to do.

I mean, his career was really on the line. Everyone, even the audience was expecting a funnyman, but what they got was a DEADLY serious plea that as far as I am aware has NEVER been heard on the mainstream media.

He wasn't just having a go at Crossfire, but the whole media - and he knew he was taking on some powerful forces.

Like you I had heard the audio, but not seen it, and you're right it is a whole lot more powerful when you can see the struggle he was going through.

This was an incredibly brave act from a man who TRUELY cares about his country and his fellow Americans. I think the people on this thread who are saying 'this is old hat' and 'where have you been' should really have another look.
