4. Lame

I love when he said something like "If Stewart thinks I was serious about 3 page bills then the joke's on him." Nah dude, the joke's on you...he didn't think you were serious. It's a comedy show. He made fun of you for saying something stupid. Not because you were black, not because you were conservative, but because you said something worthy of ridicule. He not only would but has mocked tons of white liberal politicians for the exact same thing (*cough* Biden *cough*)

The fact that dude implies that it's an issue of racial prejudice does a disservice to the acknowledgement of actual racial prejudice.

5. Jon Stewart is a flippin COMEDIAN, who makes fun/mocks

LOTS of people, particularly politicians. Amos and Andy, seriously? Don't think that's what he was going for, especially since the vast majority of his audience doesn't even know who they are. JS also frequently mocked Bush, as well as Joe Lieberman and a host of others. Seems to me to be conservative is to be incredibly thin skinned. Why do these guys care so much about what JS says anyway?
