Jon Stewart Exposes How GOP Candidates ‘Communicate’ To Their Base-istan

Video
» 76 comments

On tonight’s episode of The Daily Show, host Jon Stewart decided to take an in-depth look at the way Republicans vying for the chance to become the 2012 Presidential candidate address their base – or, put a little more colorfully, the fine citizens of Base-istan.

Stewart named Michele Bahmann the front-runner for her ability to appeal to her base while circumventing the “lamestream media.” Case in point? Her Tea Party address this past January, which “bypassed not only the lamestream media, but the cameraman.” Cue slide whistle! Then there was her live townhall, via Facebook, from a mall in Des Moines. Bachmann, rather curiously, took questions whilst standing in what was quite possibly the loudest area of the entire shopping complex, within earshot of an (Indoor? Awesome!) waterfall.

Then there’s businessman Herman Cain, who attempted to win the hearts and minds of would-be voters by vowing not to hire Muslims to his staff. Newt Gingrich echos Cain’s unwavering patriotism by expressing his fear that, if something isn’t done to “win the struggle over the nature of America,” his grandchildren will grow up to live in a “secular atheist country, potentially one dominated by radical Islamists.” We’ll wait while you all let that one sink in. And, then of course, there’s the fact that Gingrich loves this country so much that he would… cheat on his wife with another woman. Which happens, of course. I can’t count the times I’ve sent sexts to men other than my boyfriend simply because I was overcome by the Christmas spirit.

Rick Santorum, meanwhile, has said he believes Social Security is in trouble because would-be workers who would be supporting today’s retirees were aborted before having the chance to stare at puppy calendars in their cubicles. Stewart pointed out that, perhaps, Social Security would have been in less trouble had more baby boomers been aborted. It’s all quite like an Escher painting, almost.

Mississippi’s Haley Barbour has boasted about his anti-abortion initiatives, which have been instrumental in helping his state become the “safest place for an unborn child,” who will then, according to recent statistics, go on to die as a young child. Which is mildly awkward, to say the least.

    What, he didn’t mention Schumer’s faux pas at an open mic? How he was plotting to demonize the tea partiers? Oh, that’s right. Schumer is a Dem so it’s all okay.

    In other words, the GOP goes on as usual–without a clue.
    Stewart just showed the “front-runners”. Imagine what got left up the track.

    Ya, what’s with the posting issues here? I get into a conversation and all if a sudden the site won’t take my posts. It keeps logging me out also …. yet it won’t let me log myself out. I tried the reboot and even used ie instead of chrome (which I hate) … but it still wouldn’t let me post. Then for no reason that I can figure out I was able to post again.

    Anyone able to give me some insight on this?

    I kid you not. After quoting in my prior post, my browser won’t let me quote again.

    You seem to forget or overlook the fact that Obomba’s base is also deserting him. Read the lefty blogs some time. And he’s already lost the independents who voted for him. But in your black/white world view, anyone who doesn’t vote the straight Dem ticket is an “old crusty gun lovin’ geezer and religious freak.” And you wonder why the independents and moderates are turned off by the libs. You sure like to paint with a broad and ugly brush.

    GB is better on his radio show than Fox. I don’t listen to him/watch him, except when I catch a bit of his radio program. I think he can be a tad bit crazy, but I also think that he can be legit. He’s not Olbermann kinda crazy. That’s sufficient to me. :)

  • catfishjuggling

    Independents are moderates are turned off by the Democrats and sickened to the point of nausea by the group currently being floated as the nominees for the Republicans in 2012.

    Example, moi.

    At this point, I am called a librul.

    But, nay nay my brethren. I have said here multiple times that I would vote for Mitch Daniels in 2012. But I doubt he could get through the primary process.

    I’d even go so far as to say that the thoughtful version of T-Pau that showed up on Morning Joe this morning would be acceptable.

    But if they nominate a crazy person, I will hold my nose and vote for Obama again.

    And despite whatever names your righty folks want to call me, there are way more of people with my politics in this country than people with yours (and more like me than are on the left as well).

    We swung to Obama in 2008 because you nominated a crazy person for VP. And we largely sat out 2010 (full disclosure: I didn’t even bother to vote) or we swung back to the Republicans because they pretended to be serious about solving the financial mess. Instead, it is all culture war crap all over again.

    So the question for 2012 is: do you want to beat Obama or do you want to nominate a crazy person?

    To which the answer is: we nominated McCain in 2008? Yep, and he stood up there with a crazy person. And you lost.

  • catfishjuggling

    @WC: I actually like his radio show. I find his Fox show the biggest piece of garbage ever. I realize I am not his target demo, but as I said I appreciate the radio show so I think it’s hard to call em a typical left wing hater.

    I’ve always felt that he really doesn’t know what he’s trying to do from day to day on the TV. One day he is freaking out and cyring. One day he is a poor version on a tv preacher. The next day he is some dreadful self-help guru. Maybe it is the luxury of radio and the three hours. Maybe it is having Stu and Pat to play off of, but he is so much much better on the radio.

    I always love how when I say that Glenn is horrible, one of the first responses is, “Do you ever watch him?” Yeah. I have.

    Also agree that Olby was and is just dreadful.

    I think McCain came across as pretty crazy himself. A bit senile actually.
    I’m not very happy with Obama myself but he certainly isn’t any of the crazy things the right says about him. I’ll defend him against the lies. I’m way to the left of Obama but then even Nixon was left of Obama. Mich Daniels is all about social issues too. They all are these days.

    Blah, blah, blah, blah, blahblahblahblah… YOU are the reason political awareness is dead… you think it is about winning…. vote for the one you think will win. It is not about “beating” Obama… it is about doing what is right, even if our candidate does not win. I will NOT vote for a person just because they make me feel good or are the lesser of two evils. I refuse to vote “down” to a level and will continue to vote “up” to a better country. It is not about beating Obama… it is about correcting the past election’s mistake.

    It pains me that they don’t have a Jon Stewart to fill their lives with so much joy and wonderment at some of the extremely funny material that his show comes up with on a pretty regular basis.

    I’ve sampled Dennis Miller, Jay Leno and Greg Gutfeld. I’m sorry but they don’t even come close.

    That’s the kind of crap that happens when you’ll spew anything whether you believe it or not, just to appeal to your target audience. which is Jon’s larger point.

    I don’t find Gutfeld’s schtick to be all that funny either. I do however find it refreshing in a world of late night left wing, ignorant to the facts, bomb throwers, hiding behind the political satirist label.

    The funniest thing about Maher, Stewart, but especially Colbert is the fact that they belittle their respective lost in the wilderness, cool (not) , smart (ass) maybe rabid fans directly to their faces and not one of these imbeciles has a clue.

    Any one of these three could light a hula hoop on fire and get any one of those idiots in their audience to jump through it. Or they could tell them all to empty their pockets into the basket being passed around, again gladly they would comply….no questions asked……not that they would have anything of value to begin with. Basically these three have audiences comprised of the rejects from the old ” Man Show ” audience worshipping the ground they walk on nightly. That doesn’t make you cool or happen, REALLY, it makes for a sad state of affairs in liberal/progressive American with no end in sight.

    Any one of these cowards would not have the guts to go on an actually hostile program, Hannity comes to mind, because they know they would be exposed for the frauds they all are. Instead they go on O’Reilly’s show and their retarted fans eat it up like they’ve gone into the belly of the ” FOX NETWORK “beast. While in reality, take your pick and O’reilly were simply recreating a scene from mean girls ( teenage girls, bad acting ).

    This is still America, despite Obama’s best efforts. So by all means watch and enjoy the living ____ out of what ever you like, but please don’t come here to tell me how gnarly Stewart or the other chimps were last night because your only embarrassing yourself……….like I’ve done to myself here using Hannity as an example.

  • Resistance Is Futile

    Jon accurately how just plain stupid this pack of Republican candidates are/behaving in order to suck up to the sad and pathetic cretina in the right wing of the party. It is amazing the level of ignorance in the Republican party. What a group of losers.

Or they could tell them all to empty their pockets into the basket being passed around, again gladly they would comply….no questions asked……not that they would have anything of value to begin with. Basically these three have audiences comprised of the rejects from the old ” Man Show ” audience worshipping the ground they walk on nightly. That doesn’t make you cool or happen, REALLY, it makes for a sad state of affairs in liberal/progressive American with no end in sight.

    You know what else I hate about them? They are so judgmental, and they tend to make broad generalizations about groups of people, putting them down. I’m sure you know how annoying that is.

    Any one of these cowards would not have the guts to go on an actually hostile program, Hannity comes to mind, because they know they would be exposed for the frauds they all are. Instead they go on O’Reilly’s show and their retarted fans eat it up like they’ve gone into the belly of the ” FOX NETWORK “beast. While in reality, take your pick and O’reilly were simply recreating a scene from mean girls ( teenage girls, bad acting ).

    What do you consider brave about going on a hostile program? I have little respect or attraction to pundits who use hostility toward those they disagree with, shouting them down or forcing them to try and answer a question on their terms , implying they scored points, not for informations sake, but just for controlling the conversation.
    I’m a fan of Jon and Stephen in that I respect their work. I have conservative friends who feel they same way. They’re not always funny, but more often than not.
    Conservative guests have expressed appreciation after being on Jon’s show precisely because he isn’t hostile, he doesn’t shout them down or cut them off. He’s interested in a real exchange of ideas and information and allows them the opportunity to express themselves.
    I scoff at the thought that either Jon or Stephen would be scared of any hostile pundit. It would simply be an uninteresting waste of time. Intelligent adults , even those who disagree, don’t need to communicate that way.

    kinda like that “obama is a muslim…did you see what church he went to for twenty years?”

    bingo. The glaring contradiction doesn’t matter. All that matters is we don’t like him and we’re right. {even when we’re not}

    you might be right and i think i know how you came about believing the birth certificate scam cuz i saw that movie too.when obama decided he would run for president, he knew he had to establish his american birth notice so he sent marty mcfly back to hawaii in 1961 and had him place the birth announcement in the newspaper.

    If Barack decided to travel to Guyana to resurrect the ” Peoples Temple Agricultural Project ” better known as ” Jonestown ” you’d seem asthough you’d gladly be the first one on the bus, thermos full of refreshing Kool Aid in hand.

    Hey! Look at me! I may have a tenuous grasp on reality, but I know how to spell my name and work the tape recording machine. I also like to make jokes that no one understands but me. LOL (alone).

    ok, you got me…just please explain to me the live birth announcement in the newspaper and then i can hate him as much as you do.

    Try calling your local newspaper, tell them you want to announce your new baby grandson, they will list your request, for free, just like Barack’s grandparents did way back when. They won’t ask who, what, where or when, just a simple announcemet which proves nothing other than the existence of those two annoucements. See you in court.

    Does anyone know the ratings of the Daily Show? Somehow I believe that Gawker and Mediaite promote his every word and a few hundred college students follow his every word. Has there ever been a case where alternative media has worked so hard to promote a comedian on a basic cable network? Can anyone tell me why this is news?

    Wow, hope the Republicans enjoy 4 more years of Barack Hussein Obama, you guys got nothing.

    Aren’t Republicans enjoying Obama’s stay already? Let’s see, he has kept troops in Iraq, he has added troops and increased spending in Afghanistan, he has started a third war on another country that had not attacked us, he has extended the unpatriotic Patriot Act, he has stepped up the war on marijuana, he has kept Guantanamo Bay up and running, he has continued out of control government spending, he has helped protect the veil of secrecy around the Federal Reserve? With the exception of spending money we didn’t have to spend on his health care plan and for the color of his skin, how exactly is he different that Bush? For all the partisan finger-pointing and “my guy is better than your guy” taunts here, I’m having a difficult time seeing a difference in the results provided by Democrats and Republicans.

    Civics 101: This is a LEGAL issue. Islam dictates treatment of women, gays & others contrary to US Constitution and law (Funny how lefties miss or ignore this. (at their peril, methinks) Muslims are permitted to lie to Infidels (That’s me & maybe you). So much for the oath required of US gov’t workers to uphold our rules. This crap has no business anywhere near US gov’t or US Courts. Case closed. Geez! I guess lots of folks aren’t smart enough to be free after all. Geez, folks, go read up on world history (specifically, Islam’s track record) & the food chain (big fish eat littler fish). I assume there are still some who can read. Or maybe I’m dreaming…

    I don’t find Gutfeld’s schtick to be all that funny either. I do however find it refreshing in a world of late night left wing, ignorant to the facts, bomb throwers, hiding behind the political satirist label. blah blah blah

    You have absolutely nothing of substance to say and you don’t even attempt to mount a defense of the Republican candidates. How can Stewart be wrong when he’s using the Republicans’ own words to make his point? Why don’t you just admit that your party is made up of racists, homophobes, and religious zealots. The only thing Jon Stewart missed was the actual (hidden) agenda of the Republican Party, which is their economic agenda, a redistribution of wealth to the already filthy rich. Most of these nut jobs don’t give a rat’s a** about the social issues, but they’ll use those issues to garner votes from people like you, their brain-dead, ignorant and intolerant followers.

    Because he’s funny. He’s funny because he’s revealing the truth, connecting the dots. Of course, you’d only “get it” if you had a sense of humor and a wee bit of intelligence.

    At this point, maybe Stewart should be asking about who’ll be vying for the Democratic nomination. I seriously doubt the Dem’s are going to put up their present flunky. Even the Democrats have a limit of embarrassment they won’t cross (as ridiculous as that may sound).
