Reply #35: That's fine

I'll do it. I love Stewart but I saw the massive hate he got here for a while for some (imo) pretty silly reasons. And he's a comedian, not a commentator like Olberman/Rachel are.

Olberman DID bring Rachel on, but iirc Rachel got her start and pretty fair exposure from rightwing commentators, actually. Regardless, I don't think the clownishness was appealing on his part. But we can agree to disagree. I think people like Rachel are much more effective at spreading the word. They are also imo far more likely to convert people. I don't see anybody watching Keith and doing that. He's not convincing, he's just strident. Rachel convinces.
