Funny ish.  Important topic done well.

0bama prefers to drop a Hellfire on a SUSPECTED terrorist and the terrorist’s INNOCENT family.

-0bama – What “Evil” Looks Like-

Rand Paul was the lead Senator trying to protect our 4th amendment from the White House and the Democrats, along with idiot Republicans like John McCain.  Why Stewart got out his stopwatch to somehow imply Rand Paul didn’t do enough makes no sense.  This is where Stewart should be praising Rand Paul, not mocking him.

Who would have ever thought that comedy central would have been turned into a propaganda network…

Awwww, chin up there sport.  You’ll always have Fox News to tell you how to think ;-)

and Bush preferred to let terrorists go free…

hahahahahahaha

Police clear Occupy New Orleans…
Raid San Fran…Dozens arrested in DC…:)

Stewart was not mocking him, merely making the point that a counter argument is fairly obvious and that Rand Paul summed it up very well. I saw it as praise for Paul, especially since clips of Paul show up again in the bit to once again make arguments against the bill. 

Yes. What does that have to do with the topic at hand. Deflect. Deflect.

He was praising Paul.  He was illustrating how quickly he denounced it.

At least I think that was his intention.

you’ll always have msnbc to tell you what flavor of koolaid to drink until they go bankrupt then your on your own

You almost made it through a whole post without a spelling mistake. You’re improving. Keep it up.

thanks your the smartest idiot I know

You’re welcome. Get it? You are= you’re. You’re going to have to go back to the 3rd grade.

It sure would be funny watching Job groveling up to Obama at the Christmas party this year.

Jon Stewart is a comedian. Any point of view he may take is from that of a comedian and should be taken with a grain of salt. His whole premise is to make fun of politicians and government and, of course, Bill O’Reilly and Foxnews. I think it is important to point out that Jon is a dedicated Liberal and he will always put that point of view into play. Nothing he has to say is of any consequence to anyone. He may make a few points and jab a few fingers into peoples eyes, but then, so did the Three Stooges. Anyone that takes Jon Stewart seriously on any issue is just as big a clown as he is and should be ashamed of themselves for being so ignorant.

He was agreeing with and praising Sen. Paul while mocking the rest of them for not objecting to it. That was the clock point.

the teacher’s union’s are proud of me they almost got it right a few trillion more tax payer dollar’s will fix everything

Lighten up there and remove the fear, child. Sit back, relax, and allow your inescapable stupidity to shield you from the burden of reality.

Let the adults worry and take care of it all for you, sweetie. :)

I’m only 8 years old my mommy made me say that

what did my New york grammer improve enough to lose your attention

Couldn’t have been more of a perfect segment… wish he’d do more of those and less of treating us to his Canadian clowns tasteless & fart jokes specialties

Good on Rand and the republicans… but then again one wonders if they weren’t being recalcitrant & disingenuous in this case too ending up adopting the right position unintentionally

Obama caved

Sigh, that’s like me saying anyone who takes you seriously is as big of a clown as you are. Yes Stewart is a comedian. He’s also funny (usually). Turns out though, he’s also smart. You ever try being a comedian? You need to be smart to come up with that stuff, connect the dots in such a way. What I’m trying to stress is, Jon Stewart is funny and smart. Now combine all of that with the fact that he talks to people and connects to some. Therefore, he basically acts as a pundit, taking relevant news and presenting it in a funny way to his audience, who as it turns out are some of the best informed audiences of any show. Now, I’m not trying to brag here or try to say I’m well-informed, because there is a very real possibility that I’m not, but when Stewart pointed out the NDAA, but first act was to go and search it and learn what I can about it. Here’s what I got:

http://www.businessinsider.com/the-horrifying-ndaa-and-jon-stewarts-save-2011-12

That’s a good aggregate of information for you to work as a starting point, and then from there you can learn about how your civil rights are being destroyed and who voted yes for doing so. If you’re going to ignore Stewart because he’s not real news, ignore O’Reilly and Hannity too because they’re not real news either, they’re opinion. They’re basically the editorial of a metaphoric Fox newspaper. They are meant to convey opinions, just like Stewart does, and Stewart is their equal in intellect. Look at the O’Reilly/Stewart debates. The Three Stooges didn’t comment on political issues, but Stewart does and he deserves your respect, just as O’Reilly and Hannity do. As a sidenote: I love how you can claim someone is ignorant without first even questioning how much they know about something. It’s like the epitome of dumb things to say. “You are ignorant because blah blah blah unrelated fact with does not directly affect your knowledge on a subject.”

Give credit where it’s due. Rand is on the right side of this, and so are a small group of Democrats and Republicans. If you’re going to wonder why they’re doing so, you might want to think that a belief in Constitutional rights exists on in both parties, but only as a minority. 

Not yet, but keep working on your grammar.

That was good! Love that he threw in madrases, Ayers, Wright and Rahm.

Along with Blagojevich, Rezko, Holder,etc., Obama will likely issue a blanket pardon for himself on the way out the door.

“Was Fast and Furious All About Gun Control?”

“If the Obama administration did arrange for the shipment of arms to Mexican drug gangs, not for any legitimate public purpose but in order to advance a left-wing political agenda, and those guns were used to murder hundreds of Mexicans and at least one American border agent–which they were–then we are looking at a scandal that dwarfs any in modern American history.”

Why didnt someone just read the 4th Amendment aloud?  The new law is entirely illegal.  They need to pass an Amendment to the Constitution to enact such a law…

fast and furious, you mean the policy that was started by the bush administration? 

False … guess again (and this time, don’t get your information from NBC, or anyother mainstream liberal media source, read it for your self).

Well, it is still just comedy. Call it what you want, it is nothing else. I understand the premise and I also understand his point of view, and I even tend to agree with him on some things, but for th most part, it is just comedy. Taking him seriously, or the views that he shares with his audience, is like reading the comics. It is satirical, it is funny, and it can be thought provoking, but it is still the comics.
As to following O’Reilly or Hannity, they are not comedians, although I am sure some would like to think so. Both are Journalists, but they have Opinion-based shows on Fox and they obviously have an agenda. Their audience is probably even more informed than Stewart’s and after all is said and done they are a part of legitimate news organization, which also happens to have the highest ratings of all cable news and network news combined. I think Stewart is funny. But, I do not take him seriously, at all.

Stark difference between Bushes program and obumbles program, and what’s worse is he won’t allow his bro Holden to resign ( not that he would ) because that would be admitting there’s something wrong in his administration, please remind me what horrible offenses Gonzales did to so anger the left wing media to force his resignation?

You should say,” holiday party “. Don’t want to offend anyone.

Based on the quality of your posts we can tell you get your info from the comedy channel.
Bottoms up

O”Reilly and Hannity aren’t journalists. Shepherd Smith and Chris Wallace are journalists. Fox audiences are informed, yes, they only know what Fox wants them to know. And Fox is a legitimate news operation in name only.

No he was forced to because of the loud schrill from dummycrats.

it does sorta go to prove the point that texasrght is just another member of the fox news audience that studies show are the most ill informed.

The ratings at Fox are no indication of quality. Hannity and ORielly are certainly NOT journalists. I can’t tell whether it’s Jon’s Liberal slant people don’t like or just a misunderstanding of what satire is. It is indeed a comedy show but satire usually reveals something about us, a group or individual, or society in general. Jon has, on a somewhat regular basis made extremely relevant points that those who should be informing us miss entirely with their agenda driven excuse for news.
I didn’t find this bit all that funny because of the serious subject matter. As they have in the past, our own government is eroding the basic rights established in our constitution. Gitmo has been an ongoing insult to the basic rights and principles our troops fight for , and how this horrible bill to bypass due process for American citizens. It’s a huge red flag that people should be aware of and taking a strong stand against. 

I hear ya! That imbecile in the white house wanting even more power and that buffoon Levin blathering on about the terrorists bringing this to our shores. Please! We have the 4th Amendment to stop things like this from happening. I knew Democrats were stupid, but who knew they were so into taking away our constitutional rights? 

Do you seriously not see the what’s so wrong about that clause in the bill. Bypass due process and throw “enemies of the state” into detention without evidence or accountability, including American citizens. How could anyone who understands our basic rights, the ones our military risks and lose their lives and limbs for, support something like that. The feeble BS being spouted on the floor of the Senate by McCain, and others should alarm us.

He was talking about how little time was spent actually discussing it. It’s very important but they casually limited the time to actually debate the point. It wasn’t mocking Paul, it was mocking the process.

Give some examples please.

FOX “News” doesn’t seem to be doing at all well with Jeff.

As Tollbooth would say, “Oops!”

Why did you make “unions” singular possessive?

“Grammer”. Hah-hah!

Well, we are so glad you enjoyed it. All of care deeply what Italians think.

Actually, Tina, it’s true. Sorry.

That ‘imbecile in the white house’ is going to veto the bill, not sign it.

And it isn’t  just the Democrats here.  A majority of Republicans support it too.

Do you really think posts like this don’t demonstrate your puerile and asinine existence?

Ask NYPD, FDNY, and the other 911 responders whether they take Jon seriously.

If Obama caved, he would be signing this, not vetoing it.

Don’t expect any kind of retort from ‘hoot’. He is a simplemind who lives in a foxtroll.
He has no answers, just accusations.
He doesn’t desire to fix anything, he seeks to tear down.
Ignore he and his kind and move forward, leaving them behind, if we must.
#OCCUPY!

No, no, no.  I tell Fox News how to think.

actually, you’re a lyin sock puppet

actually, you’re an idiot

Aren’t they one of those countries with FREE healthcare?

What is that stark difference?

If you think satire and comedy cannot carry any intelligent or meaningful weight, I would recommend A Modest Proposal. After you’re done reading that, sit down and reflect on the fact that Stewart is basically the modern day equivalent of what you just read. Repeating over and over again “it’s just comedy, you can’t take him seriously” is only going to make you sound delusional and convinces no one of your argument. Stewart, O’Reilly, and Hannity are all in the same business in my opinion. Being part of a “legitimate news organization” does not make someone a journalist, especially if they’re providing opinion. It just makes them a talk show host who happens to be on the news channel. Don’t try to fit false labels where there are none. 

Also, surveys and studies have shown that the Daily Show and the O’Reilly Factor’s audiences are among the most well-informed, though in each study they seem to flip flop on who is the best informed. The people who watch other shows generally tend to be the most misinformed. 

Last point about taking someone seriously, if someone brings up good, agreeable, thought-provoking points, why would you NOT take them seriously? From my point of view, you should only stop taking someone seriously when they prove to be a joke (note: not make jokes, but be a joke themselves) or they are a raving madman who believes in the most of insane of insane topics. Methodology of communication (like comedy for example) does not rule out whether a person should be taken seriously or not. 

Careful Stewart, Obiwan may decide you are a ter rorist and have you offed without a trial…

Nothing is free.

John Stewart is the Touchstone of modern politics.  

got nullification?

Gonzales (among others) wrote memos to defend torture of detainees and provide the legal structure for it.

If you think it’s wrong to indefinitely detain people, including Americans, why do you think it’s okay to torture those same people?

How can you rail against one, and not the other–they are equally abhorrent practice/powers for a government to have?

Actually, both Hannity and O’Reilly are journalists. Do some research.

hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

McCain – War criminal, terrorist, Anti-American Activist.

This guy was funnier when he wasn’t such a fanboy.

Oh well.

Wow, take a break, come back and you guys are still giving this simple thinker a pass? really?

Yeah, it’s true Tina. Sorry. But it’s also true that bush is the one who started indefinitely deposing Guantanamo suspects.He also started taking our military conflict without congressional approval.

Just because obama continues or completes bushes failed policies, doesn’t give him a pass – unless your a magical, royal emperor.

Believe it or not Tina, there argument really is as simple as a playground scuffle, “he started it!”.

Greg and gabe, the most obvious ” stark difference” was bush let Mexico know of and they
Cooperated in his operation and they were aware of our plans, secondly I’ve heard no reports of bushes operation resulting in deaths. And finally what does unlimited detention have to do with anything we’re talking about other than bringing up owebumbles excuse that ” he did it first ”
You must be so proud of your president.

I don’t think water boarding is torture, but I’m sure the liberal left is very proud of you to perpetuate that mind set, you do know that our military endures water boarding as part of their training?
Tortue is cutting off Daniel Pearls head on video, keeping people hostage running thru the south American jungles for years and then killing them when cornered all in the name of Allah.
I don’t know what it will take other than one of your loved ones being killed by terrorists before you stop buying into this liberal, progressive utopia crap.

Yeah. We just executed Japanese soldiers for doing it to our POW’s in WWII because they were being too sweet. 

None of you armchair chickenhawk fearmongers will change my mind on this–go get waterboarded yourself and prove it. I don’t hate Muslims, and you know-nothings who consider all of them evil can go pick up a gun and go shoot them yourselves, on your dime, and in your name.

Oh…and nice way to dodge the question with a dishonest answer attempting no thought whatsoever, just claiming I’m a “liberal” and fearmongering about the scary Muslims.

Go hide under your bed, like the big manly-man you are.

Yes, and I’m a rocket scientist.

Gabe, when your done with your tiraid tell me when I said I hate all muslims, or want to shoot them, and what question of yours did I dodge? Your paranoia is shining thru. But I’m sure you good with owebumbles just blowing people up without benefit of trial, your type just makes me laugh. Lol. Lol Lol

One of Bush’s operations ended up in thousands of deaths: The Iraq War.

And try to understand this: I loathe Obama–but Bush was not much better, if at all. He set the stage for Obama, he started off the TARP rubbish, he passed Medicare part D, No Child Left Behind and cemented the neoconservatives in positions of power. In that sense, he is worse than Obama, because I don’t really care much about the left and their constant whining for more taxes and more “safety” nets.

So when I see alleged “conservatives” like yourself who’ve bought into the neocon mindset, it makes me sick. As you probably don’t know, the neoconservative philosophy is based on depravity gleaned from Trotskyism, which explains why you would defend torture (at least when it’s done by “your side.”)

Who is Holden? If you mean AG Eric Holder there is an R at the end of his name not an N.

Now, if you don’t think Water Boarding is torture…why did we put Japanese soldiers who were convicted of it in prison for at least 15 years. I highly doubt any of our military goes through waterboarding training…Unless it’s how to carry it out.

As for Daniel Pearl, I do feel for his family. But you also need to see it from the other side. We used White Phosphorus on 200,000 women and children. Burning the skins off them while they were still alive in the city of Falujah, which is a war crime because our Helicopters dropped in on the Civilian neighborhoods. We’ve also killed another 800,000 Iraqis on top of that.So the Iraqis have quite a bit more beheading to do to even catch up with all of the people we killed. Shoot, if they killed every American over there they wouldn’t even come close to our one million Iraqi deaths.

The “people” that held prisoners in the South American Jungles mostly in Columbia were Christians not Muslims. Practically everyone who lives in South America is Catholic. With the exception of the Guyana’s..Dutch Guiana-Surinam, British Guiana aka Guyana, and French Guiana. The Christians is these three countries might be Protetants other people in South America are Amerindians.Once again no Muslims.

You might want to learn about ‘The School Of The Americas”. It was a School for teaching “soldiers” from South American countries how to carry out what would be considered terrorist acts upon their countrymen.

Things such as the Argentine Air Force dropping thousands of leftist students into the Atlantic Ocean.

Teaching the Guatemalan Army how to carry out truly Terroristic campaigns upon civilian populations.

The list could go on…With members of other nations military’s..

If you want to bitch about the Iranian Hostages..It was basically about pent up frustrations..We deposed their democratically elected government in 1953..And installed the Shah who under his SAVAK the Shah’s Secret Police. Who used torture upon his people killing thousands.. Our CIA taught them Nazi techniques. They even had others shoving broken glass up the ass then pouring boiling water up there too. Hanging weights to men’s balls. Pulling teeth as well as finger and toe nails all without anesthesia, electric shocks, beatings, etc.

Yes. The nations with Universal Health Care are: Austria, Australia, Belgium, Canada, Czech Republic, Denmark*, Finland, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Japan, Luxembourg, Netherlands, New Zealand, Poland, Portugal, Slovakia, South Korea, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Turkey, and the UK.

Here are two country’s that don’t have UC..the US, and Mexico.

A note on Denmark. They have the happiest people in the world, and have the least difference in wages.

Sorry for the typo, thank you

 Sen. Carl Levin, meanwhile, noted that Al Qaeda brought “that war to our SHORES,” not our shows.  And what’s up with this headline??  Stewart is doing satire, what are you doing?  Headline should read “Stewart slams Obama’s Case for Indefinite Detention Without Trial.”
