I'm not a fan, but this clip made me laugh. http://theweek.com/article/index/244116/watch-jon-stewart-slams-obama-over-the-irs-scandal Getting torqued primarily because the IRS gave ammunition to "conspiracy theorists" is ridiculous. He's expressing anger over the fact that it's making it harder to make the rosy happy argument he and his ilk would like to make...missing entirely the real point, which is the inevitability of human nature. It is precisely that inevitability which our system of government was designed to deal with, and the continual effort to dismantle the bits that protect against this sort of malfeasance by Stewart and his ilk and continual efforts to marginalize concerns about government overreach as the resort of the lunatic work in absolute opposition to keeping the excesses of human nature in check. Stewart posts a clip of Cruise saying that registration is a concern as if it sounds silly, and neglects to show clips of various luminaries who support gun control who have gone on record stating that they hope to one day achieve total confiscation. Or of the people in the NY assembly who were actually positing confiscation as a policy proposal in the aftermath of Newtown. Stewart has access to google and a staff of researchers. It's not like this information is unobtainable...so we're left with the conclusion that ignoring the vast swaths of information about the ultimate aim of these efforts is deliberate. Which means that Stewart is just another propagandist. The people investigating Benghazi are not paranoid conspiracy theorists. There are legitimate questions about that event that need to be answered. You don't just shrug your shoulders and go "Oh well!" when an ambassador gets killed. The IRS problem is indicative of a larger issue with the operation of government function in our society that is hostile to the very ideas that are supposed to form our foundation. The Supreme Court recently had to rule that a government agency at least had to allow someone to have an internal appeals process to contest a regulatory decision that cost them thousands of dollars and a large chunk of their property. Prior to that decision the government's position was that not only could they lay burdensome and costly regulation on the land owner, but that the land owner couldn't even appeal the decision. That's not what Lexington and Concorde were about, folks. Now, does it say something when even your propagandist cheerleaders are forced to admit that the actions of your administration are plainly indefensible? Sure...but that's all this is. It's telling that he expresses consternation with the idea that government screws up "good" initiatives designed to help people and yet operates with ruthless efficiency when performing indefensible acts...as if anything else is a realistic possibility. Newsflash: That's why we have a constitution and amendments, and why the people who wrote that constitution and those amendments filled every bit of their writing with skepticism about government as an enterprise and what human beings do with power. Perhaps if he'd bothered to read the writings of the founders in his formative years he wouldn't be surprised by any of this, and maybe would have been paying attention to similarly disturbing issues that have been ongoing for decades. Instead he's throwing a tantrum because the IRS is making his argument look bad. Well gee whiz, pal...deeply sorry for your loss. |

Dupe. Honestly, I find Stewart and Colbert hilarious. To me, it's entertainment, not politics, and they entertain well. How do you find either of those pretentious, elitist dweebs funny? 
Posted Via AR15.Com Mobile Like I said, I just consider them entertainers, and their delivery is great(I think Colbert is better on delivery most of the time). |

Unless I'm reading him wrong, seems like Jon Stewart is just mad the IRS got caught and it became national news. He could give 2 shits, IMO about the the bigger picture behind what's going on, and don't even get me started on his snarky little comment on Benghazi.
ETA: John_Wayne777 put it more eloquently than I did and summed up a lot of thoughts I couldn't articulate. |

Stewart is a an anti-American statist fuck off. Colbert at least has supported some decent causes, and he pokes fun at everyone. I can tolerate Colbert a little more. Stewart wants nothing more than to further the ideals Bloomberg style liberalism, and its plainly evident. Sure, he made fun of the Soda Ban, but he would love to see every single gun owner and social conservative marginalized and removed from his 'utopian' shithole dream of the world. He won't be happy until HE can get an EBT card, because, well, he deserves it too.
Stewart does not like us, but thats just my opinion as a Jewish ex New Yorker who happens to think the liberal media and people like ol' Jon are destroying the moral fabric of the nation. |

Quoted: Jon was funny before he got political. Feel the same. The last time I watched his show and agreed with him was his post Sept 11 speech. Then he turned his entire career into Bush bashing. Colbert is just a hack. It would be on the same level as Hannity dressing up in black face to do a daily report... It's political blue humor and can't ever really be considered good. Just a form of pandering. |

You would hope it would but it doesn't,one of my Aunt's gets all of her "news" information from the daily show.

Honestly at this point I think stewart along with a lot of liberals is having a hard time giving obama the benefit of the doubt anymore. He has slammed BHO in the passed, but I think it is all coming to a head.
My interpretation of how libs are feeling right now. |

Don't grow too fond of him. He is still an asshole.  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mVuspKSjfgA&lc=WgVZTN0EgRiRaC3cBS92dw5cNUXFHlDqvsZDyV0O5x4exactly I have enjoyed his show for 15 year now since he replaced carson daily. However since the newtown shooting he has become an insufferable prick on gun control. He usually keeps activism to a minimal and just does pure satire, but lately he has been doing nothing but hit pieces on gun control making it seem like I am watching piers morgan. I blame a lot of it on Jon Oliver who seems to bring that british faggotry about gun control to the show in record levels. |

Quoted:
I watched it. He was pretty damn hard on 0bama, and don't play the "he was simply mad at Zero for giving Conservatives ammo." He drilled Zero. ...despite the fact that he said, exactly, that this was giving conservatives ammo. People see what they want to see, I guess. |
| Don't get too excited, there was an underlying Obama assist.......the IRS, the DOJ all that is bad but Obama can back away. Stewart dismissed the Benghazi issue in his skit....that's one of Obama's most damning issues. The lies are deep and ever growing, and the whole setting of Lybia yet to be explained. For many Stewart's stated opinion will convince them Benghazi is just politics. Jon seemingly smacked Obama, but attempts to take a more direct and greater issues away from Obama. |
Welcome to the real world, Jon. We're glad to have you.

He went after Zero repeatedly for his transgressions. You're arguing against a triple by saying the baserunner's foot touched first base. Of course he did, but that's not where he ended up. |

Amen sir.

I think it's because he said both - He plays the bit about Gun Control and then the IRS clip and talks about giving the conservatives ammo. THEN he says "I still believe in govt. " If he'd stopped there, JW you'd be right on the money. But then he plays the AP clip and cusses again. I think this series of scandals may have him questioning his belief in govt. At least that's the impression he's trying to give. Whether that's genuine or not is anyone's guess. |

Was in the post office yesterday picking up my certified letter from the IRS. Needless to say, I was pissed. I said out loud that they must have learned I was in the Tea Party. An older man says, "oh they all do it! Nixon did it!". I replied, "yes, and he was going to be impeached for it." Then I mumbled something about how the IRS can come and fucking get me. The older man replied, "That's how a lot of us delt with our draft notices." "Well every one in my family served!", I replied with as much disgust as I could muster. Fucking piece of shit Obama fan. Nixon did it, they all do it, what's the big fucking deal? If we wait for them and the media to make all this a big fucking deal, we're dead. We need to be in the fucking streets yesterday letting our reps know this is fucking war. |

He's busy poking fun at people for being looney while his homey is up on the hill doing all that and worse. And he's pissed off because his nose is getting rubbed in it. This was no Saul on the road to Damascus moment...it was at best a temper tantrum from a twit. |
