I was watching this and then thinking “NO!! that did not just happen!!!”. Bloody hilarious!

Stewart is a good warm up act for Colbert

Stewart is a good warm up act for Colbert

and yet he’s got ratings consistently higher than colbert on any given night..

Jon Stewart is king.. though this scene appears to be gruesome

Colbert & theDailyShow SuperPac highjinks are mad inspired genius

Just think…this is where a good portion of people that voted for Obama get their “news.”

They are both CIA working with Palin. 

unlike you Jeffy who gets your news from Dollars Dump and Horse Fluffing Weekly.

Hmph – so that’s why every time I change the channel to the Dollars Dump and Horse Fluffing Weekly network, it looks just like Steve Douchee is giving Willard Mittens Rmoney Grey Poupon Foo Foo III an intimate rubdown. Roger Ailes, you mad GENIUS you – securing the vaunted horse fluffing demo!

Just think…..seriously,…..please.

Holy Shit that was funny.

philby, that was just dumb

ty for proving “cosmosdan” dead wrong. ;)

And Republicans get their “news” from FOX. Who’s better informed?

“Jon Stewart Blows Colbert”….? Yeah, probably…

Somehow the words ‘blowing’ and Mario lend themselves to some very unappetizing visual images. Have to pass on the video.

This is my favorite stupid right wing meme.

Nightly viewers of Stewart: About 700k. High end, maybe 1 million.

Obama total votes in 2008: 66,882,230.

So I guess the other 68 million non-Daily Show viewers were ACORN??

You are truly a national treasure.

Not the people who get their news from Comedy Central.

Not to mention that you need to be informed to get Stewart’s and Colbert’s jokes. Their audiences don’t get their news from those shows, they have to be informed beforehand to even understand. And if they’re not, then the shows are thought provoking and catalyze the viewers to try to understand what the two of them were on about.

Honestly, though, I don’t think anyone, trolling OSTL included, believe the Daily Show’s and the Colbert Report’s audiences get their news from those shows.

The idea that America is a “democracy­” with “democrati­c” elections and a fair and open process of selecting leaders has become a fallacy. The incessant pumping of corporate money into campaigns has made a mockery of democracy and turned America into a country where the candidate with the largest number of rich friends wins. Super PAC’s allow corporate elitists to essentiall­y write blank checks to seasoned political operatives who can shred their opponents with no regard for truth, accuracy, or decency.   www.sunstateactivist.org

Please,….really,…start now.

Another great segment on last night’s show was Perry and Romney saying promising jobs and showing details of the factory where our iphones are made. Cutting tax rates and regulations won’t let us compete with 31 cents an hour labor.

This was a double post, so I removed it. (System glitch)

I doubt that anybody is fooled by the ads and the money flying around.

People first make up their minds about things like being conservative or liberal, the state of the economy, the direction this country is going, and whether we need more religion or less religion in politics before they pick candidates, and the candidates then do their best to prove that they match what the people have already decided they want.

All of the money that is being spent by very rich people (some of whom are corporations) does nothing to change the views of the people who see the ads. As an example of this, anyone who wants to see Romney lose will believe the ads against him while rejecting the ads that support him. The same goes for the rest of the bunch.

But, the very best proof of all that the money is just wasted is guys like you who whine about how this money is destroying our country. You think you know something the rest of us don’t, but that isn’t true.

The only good thing all of this political spending is doing is getting that money back into circulation by paying ad men and campaign managers who then use the money to buy groceries and pay mortgages. It is all a part of capitalism at its finest, and it really doesn’t hurt democracy.

So, just relax and enjoy the fact that fools waste their money trying to change your mind and mine. Just like you, I have decided who I would support long ago, and no ad has ever changes my mind. I let the news (from as many sources as possible) help me form my decisions, and I bet you do too.

Do people get their news from Comedy Central? Sometimes I do. Not often, but sometimes I hear about it first on the Daily Show or on the Colbert Report, but it is still news as in a current topic and while it is treated with humor, it is still factual.
My primary source of news is much more varied than any one TV channel. Some of it is very local, and much of it is international.
If you aren’t getting your news from at least six different sources, you are living under a rock.

True, but destroying all unions will bring US wages back to 31 cents per hour.

Nope. Nothing preposterous about the rules governing SuperPACs. If there was, comics would have a field day.

As someone posted above, you have to be informed to get the satire of Stewart and Colbert. Fox News…not so much.

There you go, appealing to facts again. That’s not allowed in rightwing discourse.

Only two things are allowed: 1) say the same silly shit over and over again, and at some magic point it becomes the truth (you get to pretend it’s the truth right away, of course); and 2) say the same shilly shit over and over again with utter conviction in your heart while being certain that every journalist and blogger in the country is against you: that makes it truth right away.

You don’t even need the extra repeats.

I think even the horse fluffing demo would find that image distasteful.

Of course they really, really LIKE nasty tastes.

sweatshop wages?

stupidest analogy, evah!

WCinWI?

You must watch FOX.

Fox News viewers tend to be less informed about current events than those who don’t watch any news at all.

Jeffy, Jeffy, Jeffy, is the math confusing? The Daily Show is on Comedy Central because its funny, but I will admit Fox News at times is much funnier, because some of the crap they say you just cannot make up
.

Proggie moonbats tend to be less informed than LA Times readers. Polls aren’t studies, and they’re even less valuable when the poll takers don’t know the right answers to the questions. But you flog that talking point, Widdle Baby!

http://www.mediaite.com/tv/left-rejoices-as-poll-of-612-new-jerseyans-declares-fox-news-makes-people-stupid/

just think… a good portion of moronic conservatives get their news from a place called foxnews that only provides opinion and not news. 

oh man you are hilarious. 

The bottom line is, the Conservatives on the Supreme Court totally screwed up on their decision concerning “Citizens United”!!

Can someone please pass the eye bleach?

 it’s sadly the only reliable news the USA has.

I wish Mario would feed me.

You are probably right.
But Stewart is accurate.
At least more than “Faux News”

A Californian who went by the tag of Texan with a New England Yankee Pronunciation. Wicked!

They try very hard. They do make up up stuff in their minds then believe its the truth. Can you say “Fair and Balanced”?

Isn’t that what big business wants? Isn’t that why they outsource a great part of manufacturing out of county? Wheren’t unions originally about protecting employies from management abuse and offering them a voice were they would otherwise have none?

i would beg you to read The Asylum by Leah McGrath Goodman. the money in politics doesn’t “go nowhere” and it is certainly not innocuous or ‘balanced out’ by the electoral process. 

But has it changed your mind, or are you only angry that it must have changed other people’s minds?
