[Crabitha]

Sang Jon Stewart. AWESOME.

[jillan]

2. An autoimmune disease....lol....

[Mojeoux]

18. We just saw this part in California.Oh My Fuc*king God!!!!!

I'm taping it too. I love this guy.
We think we have it bad from our cheesy "friends" who parrot Foux News at us?!
John Stewart, the King

[kas125]

[jillan]

[madokie]

29. Must see, thanks for the link

I can't see to stay up late enough to catch Stewart on the tube but this man is brilliant, a very smart man.

[Delphinus]

31. Yep,

that was funny - great way to start my day! :rofl:

[caty]

6. I laughed

so much my side hurt. It was great. It will be on a couple of times tomorrow and I'm going to catch it again. Funny!


On Edit: When will Faux News learn? They should have known he would come back and top them. He always does.:thumbsup:

[madokie]

30. Because they are a bunch of dumbasses with an agenda

[NightHawk63]

7. I loved it!

He really kicked Bernie Goldberg in the stones. I could've done without that teabagger douche though.

[Crabitha]

15. I don't know, the teabagger douche was so inept and stupid that it just

seemed clear that Stewart didn't need to do much smack down on the guy because he was like a weak kitten.

[lame54]

34. he should have crushed him

[Initech]

9. That was a classic rant.

:rofl:

[Ozymanithrax]

10. Not yet in California...n/t

[cynatnite]

11. Brilliant! n/t

[Contrary1]

12. Just saw the rerun...instant classic!

+1

[Hekate]

13. I have to catch it online whenever they post it -- which is now! Yay!

I used to have to wait 24 hours.

TY for the heads-up.

Hekate

[Hekate]

14. Brilliant. Do not mess with a comedian.

:rofl:

Hekate

[Turborama]

20. I have to wait until they're online, too

Have you got the link, please?

[Hekate]

25. So easy: thedailyshow.com

[ohheckyeah]

16. It was funny as hell.

I love Jon Stewart.

[cherokeeprogressive]

17. I watch Jon Stewart as often as I watch Faux News, which is never.

Faux News is bullshit from the Get-Go, and JS isn't a trained journalist. I see no difference.

[Maru Kitteh]

19. Only one of them is actually pretending to be news.

[cherokeeprogressive]

21. Jon Stewart is a comedian, not a journalist.

[SemiCharmedQuark]

36. So you never watch anything other than the news? Jon Stewart never claims to be a journalist.

[CatWoman]

41. Ever party needs a pooper

that's why we invited you.......

[theophilus]

43. And most of the "journalists" nowadays are comedians, imo. What a

silly false dichotomy. News is news... whoever brings it to light, isn't it?

[havocmom]

52. Actually, there is a difference between comedians and clowns

Many of those passed off as journalists today are CLOWNS. Comedians are generally much better informed and honest.

Comedians observe then draw logical conclusions, using humor to lessen the sting of reality.

Too many 'journalists' just disseminate talking points and press releases.

[Kelvin Mace]

48. You get more hard news out of Jon Stewart

in 20 minutes than you get from CNN in a week.

[DaveinJapan]

22. Which "trained journalists" do you watch?

Frankly, he gets to the root of the matter and clears away the BS better than any journalist around these days imho.

[cherokeeprogressive]

23. Let's just say that my worldview isn't shaped by a comedian.

He's funny. If you don't understand that it's a way for a certain viewpoint to be expressed, that's your problem. I don't watch Faux for the same reason. Comedy used as a ruse to bring a certain part of the population to a certain way of thinking isn't any different than using a seemingly "news" format to do the same.

[DaveinJapan]

26. It's the reverse for me.

I only recently started watching Stewart, and the reason the show appeals to me is that he adeptly nails the sentiments that I've always felt.

Anyway, it's just entertainment (and that's how I feel about FOX and MSNBC as well...they're not to be taken seriously, and those that do are not too smart).

[Cleobulus]

27. OK, your post is, unintentionally on your part, hilarious in context to this thread...

Goldberg slammed Jon Stewart on this VERY point, and Jon Stewart handed him an asskicking(and yourself as well) in response.

Good ole Bernie said that Stewart should stick to comedy and not make social commentary, Jon Stewart's response was that comedy has been a vehicle for social commentary for thousands of years, what he's doing now is not any different. He also said that at least he doesn't claim to be fair and balanced, unlike some "news" organizations. So there's a huge difference there, you should really watch the segment, it would illustrate how stupid your post is.

[izzybeans]

39. That's precisely what Bernie Goldberg said.

[high density]

40. When you watch TV, it doesn't have to shape your "worldview"

It can be fun, for a laugh. I watch it while I'm having breakfast in the morning. It doesn't have to be a religious experience.

[SemiCharmedQuark]

47. No, I totally agree with him. I don't watch Scooby Doo because I fear it will shape my worldview

Then I'll always be trying to pull everyone's faces off.

[lame54]

35. The dumbest thing EVER written on DU

[theophilus]

42. Well, I'm sure you'll survive. I do feel sorry for you, however. n/t

[fascisthunter]

44. awwww

what a shame

[Initech]

50. Jon Stewart rules. He's one of the reasons TV is worth watching.

Add that to Stephen Colbert going out of his way to prove the teabaggers aren't racist and you have one entertaining hour.

[DAMANgoldberg]

24. Absolute Classic

This will be played tomorrow on Keith's show. Count on it!

[Birthmark]

28. I wish someone with Photoshop skills...

...would re-do the FoxNews logo with "The Lupus of News" in place of...that lie they currently use.

[SidDithers]

46. How's this?...

Sid

[Birthmark]

54. Beautiful!

Thank you very much. :)

[malaise]

32. It was beautiful

:rofl:

[lame54]

33. I love Jon - but...

he gave that teabagger sob such a pass - and even semi-endorsed his pathetic book


But the Goldberg segment was classic

[Kelvin Mace]

49. When a man is doing such a good job hanging himself

why hurl abuse at him? You might distract him and he won't finish the job.

[Saphire]

37. Oh lordy...how I heart Jon.

[nc4bo]

38. Just watched the vid - OMFG

:rofl::rofl::rofl::applause:

[SidDithers]

45. Brilliant!!!...

Sid

[havocmom]

51. Watched replay this morning. OMG that was incredible!

Betting the kid pushing his teabag party book was flippin happy to get out of there alive too!

[Nikki Stone1]

53. FANTASTIC!!! OMFG!!!

Bernie Golberg, Go fuck yourself!!

Loved Jon's musical backup. Just amazing.

[lib_wit_it]

55. K&R As a huge Bruce Springsteen fan, Jon seems to have been channeling the boss's "testify" routine.

Excellent!
