[Was_Immer]

Whats your thoughts is this guy a dem or repub??

[Stephanie]

1. Den Mother?

Den of Iniquity?

[Demit]

16. Is Jon Stewart a Den or a Family Room?

--I was going to start a copycat thread but I haven't been around here long enough and I hear they frown on that... :)

[Wat_Tyler]

17. No. You have to start that. It would be hilarious.

[Demit]

28. aww, guess it's too late. I've been setting up my new G5 and just came up

for air. But if I see another punnable thread I'll jump on it. And I'll tell em Wat Tyler said it was ok :)

2. Based on what I see on his show....

he has to be a dem....i cannot imagine that he is a repub.

[LeftCoast]

3. Clearly he's a Republican!

:eyes:

4. What do YOU think?

I wonder where you come from on the internet.... :eyes:

[Was_Immer]

10. Geeze, im a dem dude!

Im a democrat full heartedly! Just curious what everyone thought of daily show, im watching right now is all!

[kikiek]

5. I think he is independent. Would be just as hard on Kerry if he was as

lame and a liar like Bush is.

[bryant69]

6. I don't care.

He's funny and he's good at entertaining. Given his attacks on Bush policies and right wing nonsense, though, I'd guess he's liberal.

7. He's Jewish

So my vote is for Dem.

[calico1]

8. He is as right wing as they come.

Can't you tell? :eyes:

[Wat_Tyler]

9. I never want to know. I want him to be a good comedian.

I don't want anything else from him.

[blm]

11. He is a humorist with keen interest in REAL news. Does political

affiliation matter when the truth is told?

Many here applaud Pat Buchanan when he speaks honestly and dump on him when he doesn't.

Same with Stewart, except he's 85% more honest than most on air.

[La Lioness Priyanka]

12. you are kidding right?

[AmerDem]

13. no listing here..but he has changed his name

His birth name is; Jonathan Stuart Leibowitz

Filed petition for legal name change to Jon Stewart on June 19, 2001. Cited several reasons for making the change. Pick which one you believe:
- To protect loved ones from embarrassment (they signed a petition)
- Too many syllables
- Too Hollywood
- Too mispronounceable
- Slight leftover family resentment

15. Wow he has an impressive bio

I never realized how educated he is! Very impressive to say the least.

[AmerDem]

24. Yea, he does

I knew he had to have some schooling behind him. For someone who isn't trained in the world of politics he is more then able to keep up with the so called experienced talking heads.

[seventhson]

14. I think he is ABB - and a DEM too

but he is owned by the right wing corporations so he has to kiss the right wing's ass all the time to get away with kicking Bushes.

I think he hates Bush.

[TheDonkey]

18. He's liberal

not sure what party is on his card, but he's clearly liberal like many.:)

[LuminousX]

23. He eschews terms like liberal and conservative

as he has said in the past, if you can get 31 flavors of ice cream, why do politics only come in two?

[TSIAS]

19. Democrat

Although he hasn't officially said so, it's pretty clear that he supports Kerry.

[markdd]

20. Wise Ass

Hmm, might make him a Dem. But who's gonna write stuff this funny if an intelligent guy is in the White House?

[Terran]

21. This is a joke thread, right?

So where's the punchline?

[LuminousX]

22. Independent

[Tweed]

25. Colbert said that he was a Democrat when filling in for Jon

when Jon's wife had their baby earlier this summer. Clearly the Daily Show does not have a problem with their stars announce their party affiliation and Jon Stewart chooses not to. My guess is that Jon Stewart is an independent who tends to vote Democrat or not vote at all. After all, he does have a busy schedule and lives in New York.

[demwing]

26. Stewart said the show was "nothing, if not a mouth piece for the right"

But, it's possible he was joking. I think the show is supposed to be satirical, right? :silly:






OK, it was a freaking joke. COME ON PEOPLE. Stewart ribs everybody, but he clearly takes an extra measure of pleasure in filleting the neocons in the House of Bush.

[msturgis524]

27. I for one don't care

He's funny and does a better job with the truth than any other journalist I can think of.

[slinkerwink]

29. duh, he's a Dem
