Jon Stewart Slams The GOP Debate: Three Men And A White-Haired Man-Baby

Video
» 129 comments

On Thursday night, Daily Show host Jon Stewart gave viewers a glimpse at the romantic, wholesome family comedy Three Men and a White-Haired Man-Baby. (Seriously, Newt looks ADORABLE as a man-baby.)

Stewart said that the other three candidates did not hesitate to treat “newly-minted front-runner” Rick Santorum “like they was his papa,” calling him out on various issues and bits of legislation that have proved problematic or that he’s seemingly flip-flopped on over the years.

RELATED: Jon Huntsman: ‘Gone Are The Days Where The Republican Party Used To Put Forward Big, Bold Visionary Stuff’

Stewart did give credit where it was due, noting that — when asked about these — Santorum admitted his mistakes and also ffered a clear, concise answer explanation of the way government works rather than blurt out nonsense or attempt to obfuscate the issues. Then again, “this is no place for reasoned arguing!”

     >>” Stewart is even handed.  That’s what liberals try to argue.”<<

    Actually, they don't argue that..  You are a liar.
    Everyone with half a brain admits Stewart is a liberal comedian.  He does that to be successful with a certain demographic (the young and urban), just like the Blue Collar comedians try to make stupid rednecks laugh with conservative inbred humor.
    What Stewart has said is he doesn't have a political agenda.  He is more interested in if you laugh with him than if you vote with him.

    “I boo your uncomfortably frank assessment of the inner workings of our legislature, boo!”–that was insightful, I agree with Stewart on this one

    I’m not as familiar with the typical life cycles of amphibians as I should be, but does Newt look a little puffy here? It’s like, just since the last debate he hit a ‘change’ stage of life, like full male menopause or something, where the male hormones catch sight one day of what they’re supporting & all say at once, F**k this, this is a hopeless case, this guy’s next new date, if ever, is coming in the retirement home; give it up guys, we’re moving on & leaving this territory to the lady hormones:

    It is beyond me why the GOP submits its self to these liberal swine, day after day. What the hell is the point of going on CNN or MSNBC, they have about 100 viewers at the most.

    Oh well, The GOP certainly earned all this mocking and backlash.  I mean it takes a special kind of brain dead Republican candidate to agree to these debates. Oh yeah, sure i will participate in the debate hosted by a Democrat hack, and yeah sure i will play along with two hours of Democrat setups and avoid the real issues like obama,  No problem!!!!!

     At this point in Bush’s gas price dilemma there were 97 stories about how it was Bush’s fault and how it would affect people’s lives (unemployment at 5.4%).

    To date there have been 21 stories about Obama’s gas price dilemma and most of them are saying “Poor Obama – how can people blame him” – and unemployment is at ?

    Now – if the media is not in the tank for Obama, please explain.  Please tell me why it isn’t a big deal to interview people and hear them say that they will have to go hungry because they can’t afford to put gas in their car and food on their table.  Suddenly, they have no problem!

    That is why King kept asking stupid questions.  

    Phony, hypocritical lot.  Make any excuse to cover up the incompetence of Obama and the collusion of the media.

    I agree – I think they should have said “no thanks” to any of the “debates” that were gotcha from the get go.  

    We republicans are a trusting lot and figure somewhere, sometime, one of these  left wing loons will develop a backbone and pretend they’re adults.  Hasn’t happened yet!  Hope springs eternal.  

    When you have the President show up on t.v. today and LIE to everyone and he gets a pass and then make a snarky comment about the republicans will love this.  What the hell kind of adult behavior is that?  A petty, little man.  So not statesman material.  

    Hmmmm, I never saw “stupid” George act like that.  Somehow his parents raised him with a bit more class.  You can’t buy class – you’re either born with it or will try to cover up for lack of it for the rest of your life.

    You just don’t get it.  Stewart is a comedian first and foremost. It just so happens he is a political comedian. He makes fun of politics, political parties, politicians and everything else pertaining to politics. That is his niche. He has been very successful at this, consequently he keeps doing itl 
    Just because the American right has given him so much material to work with, you can’t say that he can’t use the material.  That would be against the Geneva Convention under cruel and unusual punishment.

    If that is the case, then how is it that the top 1% have aquiired more wealth in the last 30 years, and the middle class has remained stagnent.

    Corporate profits are way up. They don’t know what to do with their wealth.

    If you insist, starting with corporate profits I point to GE and GM posting massive (18billion for GE) profits with no taxes being paid at all. And yet Obama keeps shoveling money in them in the form of Bailouts and green energy credits. Both companies are also outsourcing thousands of jobs to china despite the jobs czar being the CEO of GE. With newly announced subsidies for the Chevy Volt, it now seems like GE can actually make money just by BUYING electric cars and parking them on a lot. Wash rinse repeat. Everone makes potentially infinite money and pays no taxes at all.

    Obamacare is another fine example. Insurance companies required to sell, everyone else required to buy. Therre is no upper limit to the amount of dollars this abominaton can destroy with an incredible potential for fraud and waste built right in (see page 1,674 2,354 2,666). The potential to increase beauracracy is astronomical, I suspect that due to the inherent stupidity in this bill (free condoms for every american) those of us working at non-waiver companies (ie non obama union companies) the health care costs will soon outweigh their paychecks.

    The porkulus bill made 700 billion dollars disappear into more of obamas labor union buddies under the guise of green energy. Solyndra is a fine example this, a company whos business plan is to sell a product that costs 2$ to make but is only worth 1.50$, bad enough the money we gave them, but we also gave money to various companies just to buy the stupid widgets. I could go on but youll just deny it al…

    This is not meant as a slam on Jon Stewart or to make any kind of political satement one way or the other, just an observation.

    Every morning I get up and I like to see what Mediaite has from the night before. And every morning the lead post is from The Daily Show. And every morning that post begins with the words “Jon Stewart Slams GOP on…..” I understand that Jon Stewart does not like the GOP and he is entitled to his opinion, but Mediaite, c’mon. Is the fact the Jon Stewart hates the right newsworthy every single day. I mean TC doesn’t post about Olbermann everyday (even though he wants to).  

  • http://www.proactivepolitics.blogspot.com/ Norbit Peters

    So the Media Matters’-controlled outlet, “The Daily Show”, bashes GOP candidates and their positions on a routine basis, and Mediaite promotes that narrative through their threads.
    Is that the way it works?

    Tell me, is this coordinated on a daily basis, or is there some leeway in working in the Media Matters/White House directives?

  • http://www.proactivepolitics.blogspot.com/ Norbit Peters

     For all his LIES and pretense on working for the poor and middle class, Obama’s governance has yielded more of a disparity between rich (top 1%) and poor than any other President!

When asked to explain how the President is destroying wealth, the first drivel you type notes the MASSIVE profits of two companies…18 BILLION for one company…with NO TAXES paid at all! WTF??!!

    The rest of what you typed is pure nonsense that’s not true, does not demonstrate a “destruction of wealth,” (and here’s a key part) would NOT do anything to lower gas prices.

    By-the-by, do you know that gas prices peaked to $4.12 under GWBush in July 2008? Did you post simillar drivel then too?

    I wonder if GWBush’s massive unpaid for tax cuts for the rich have anything to do with the wealth gap? You know, the tax cuts that the President and Democrats wanted to let expire on the rich but extend for the middle class? Remember, the republicans refused to allow the vote in 2010 to extend the middle class tax cuts only because they wanted the rich to continue to get the tax cuts too? How the Senate repubs refused to allow a vote to end the oil subsidies? Of course you don’t.

    SANTORUM has said that because of his “strong Christian faith” that he believes that “contraception is morally wrong” and “contraception has contributed to the destruction of the American family.” SANTORUM has also said that as President, he would govern ‘based on his Christian faith.” Yet asking him (and the other candidates who are running against him) about what HE SAID is a ‘gotcha question’?

    “The Obama Fuel Crisis”? Really? Since America has been producing more domestic oil EVERY YEAR that Obama has been President than ANY of the last four years of GWB’s last term, then the “Fuel Crisis” must be from overseas foreign producers (unless there was a “Fuel Crisis” under Bush also)? So somehow President Obama is to blame for foreign oil producers slowing down production? Or Could it be that all the REPUBLICAN talk about starting a war with Iran might be driving up the prices through rampant SPECULATION? Are REPUBLICANS ginning up this war with Iran to cause the prices to go up (so they can then blame Obama) as well as make him look politically weak on National defense (even though he has KILLED more top ranking Al Queda members in 3 years than Bush did in 8?)

    BTW, we’ll quit asking the Republicans about contraception when they:
    a) Answer the question without blaming the media for ‘daring’ to ask them a question that makes them look bad. (it makes them look incredibly weak)
    b) Realize that “the Church coming between a woman and her doctor” is as offensive as “the Government coming between a woman and her doctor.”
    c) Stop asking the President about his Birth Certificate, attending Rev. Wright’s Church AND a Muslim, Saul Alinsky, ACORN, being a Radical Kenyan Socialist AND a Fascist Tyrant, FEMA Camps, Sharia Law, confiscating the NRA’s guns, etc.

    Stewart tries too hard to be funny where Sharpton doesn’t even have to try to make me laugh. His comedy is like watching dumb and dumber but he plays both parts.

  • http://www.facebook.com/matttwain Matt Twain

    The lunacy of these Republican debates just continues to write itself for comedians like Stewart.  It’s like you don’t really have to try in order to laugh at the absurdity of these four blowhard candidates, let alone the stupidity of the crowd reacting like they’re at a Ted Nugent concert.  Is it any wonder why Republicans have no clue who they really want to vote for?  Meanwhile, Obama can sit comfortably in his re-election campaign and watch with a grin while his competition implodes.

    It’s also fun to watch conservatives diss Stewart.  Then again, it’s no surprise.  Conservative entertainers just aren’t funny, nor do they understand how humor works.  Fox tried it with their stupid attempt at a Daily Show copy, and it failed miserably, canned laughter and all.

    Liberal humor tends to have certain elements of truth and fact which many on the right aren’t comfortable with, which also explains their disdain for Stewart and other “liberal” comedians.  Just look at some of the comments on this thread.  No humor, just blind hatred and misinformed invectives, as is to be expected.

     Conservatives seem more afraid of Stewart (and Colbert to a certain extent), a COMEDIAN, then liberals and/or Democratic commentators on the MSM.  Although with Colbert, many Conservatives also think he’s actually a Conservative.  And that just adds humor to the fire.

So all of those people that are raising the questions…Aren’t spur of the moment questions..

     Can we start by drilling in your backyard? I wish you used well water, and that the mud mix that comes up contaminates your drinking water. Thereby making you buy water at the store. Or the need to connect with the city or county water.

    Can we build that Nuclear Power Plant next door to you also? Just questioning if you’re a NIMBY.
    I know in my state nobody wanted a Prison built in their backyard. The state finally had to build the new ones across the road from the older ones.

    Do you ever go to the East, West or Southern Coasts during your vacation to swim? Remember just ONE blowout caused almost the whole southern coast to shut down for the year. Are you ready to have another coast to be destroyed?

    If you’re not aware of the fact that they are trying to fix the blowout up in Alaska. I wonder how many millions of dollars are we taxpayers going to have to spend to clean up that coastline.

     Republicans have a real gift for waving the flag and appealing to people who want to return to a simpler time. The problem is that most people who vote Republican want to return to the 1950s. The Republican party wants to return to the 1890s.

    Wait, the real issue is Obama? Not jobs and the economy. Not the foreclosures, not the 40+% of people below the poverty line…but….Obama? And you Republicans wonder why people mock you.

  • ScarredReality

    We’ll be happy to send brilliant Newt to be President of his Moon Colony, for sure. And sure, he’d make Obama cry…from laughter. Newt was a joke before and a bigger joke now.

    You may want top rethink that teleprompter crack, cuz maybe if the GOP used one they wouldnt go improv and say stupid things that they then try to deny or spin later except oh crap, its been recorded.

  • ScarredReality

    You mean like how the GOP is owning who they are finally?

  • ScarredReality

    That makes sense. The Republicans have been acting like children, after all.

    LMAO. I dont think its to the young and urban.  I would describe Jons jokes to the ill informed and the easily influenced crowd.

    “At the GOP debate last night, there was several blunders, obvious miscues, and hypocritical haranguing….but instead of acknowledging those incidents, we thought you’d rather enjoy watching these adorable kittens playing.”

    Here we have it.  Confirmation from a conservative that all the wars in the Middle East in which USA has recently participated were about oil.  No WMDs, No nation building or despot removing.  All about oil.  I don’t remember that being espoused as a reason for Iraq I or II by the Bushes and their admin.

    1850s more like it.

    Won’t lie, you brought up more credible dirt on Obama than the Republicsns have. What does it say about the GOP if a right wing conspiracy blog has more credibility?

    Probably because it’s irrelevant?

    Most comedians are Democrats………. Take Obama for instance.

    Jon Stewart the official Jester of Obama’s re-election campaign.  I find it total BS that he can’t make fun of anyone on MSNBC or in the Democrat Congress.  Frank, Wasserman-”C”, Pelosi.  My God, you could do a weeks worth of comedy on Pelosi alone.

    And most Republicans are fools….take you for instance.

    Actually, he could point out that the R’s are stuck on Stupid for turning their debates over to the D’s. The D’s sure won’t allow their candidates to be questioned by the opposition. 
    Not just the debates. The R’s allow anyone to vote in their primaries. The D’s have closed primaries and caucuses. No way are the D’s going to allow an R to help select their candidate.

    You would be surprised how few people are aware of this. Even most R’s are not aware how stuck on stupid their party is.

    Dems have a real gift for burning the flag and raising the debt ceiling. 

    As Geithner testified before the congressional hearings: 

    Geithner: You’re Right, We Have No Plan To Avert Fiscal Melt-Down; All We Know Is That We Don’t Like Your Plan.

    Thank you, sir. But, I am a liberal.=)

    Now what does THAT say about the GOP? (It says they are all in bed together, that’s what it says.)

    He could – that’s funny. How to fuel America’s future.

    WHY?  When there is so much comedy to be had by just watching the debates?  I’m sorry to see this Reality Show leaving the air.

    Both parties have open primaries & caucuses. Not sure where you’re getting your information from.

  • Anonymous

    Someone claiming it’s true, and it actually being true are very very different things. Unless you, or whomever pointed it out, are some kind of mind reader and can absolutely tell us Jon’s motives, you and they have an opinion and nothing more.

    Obama’s given a LOT of material for potential mocking. Stewart kisses his ass, idolizes him, and does not pick up on any of it. And yet he claims to be even-handed, non-partisan. A big fat lie if there ever was one.

    Hey Alex, this is BS. Stewart has gone after Obama specifically as well the Dems. In fact he mocked Obama on the Letterman show just the other night. 2ndly, he does not claim to be even handed and very few liberals would claim that either.  I suggest you think for yourself and make an effort to verify what you’re talking about before you mindlessly spew what some conservative blog told you.

    The sad thing is millions of deeply confused, propagandised people are gonna vote for one of these morons. America has never seen such a group of schmucks running in a nomination race for president of any party, and the gop will be lucky to survive this extreme regression and nothing else position on virtually every issue. These four idiots are a disgrace, so is the gop, good riddance!……I can only hope!
