For Conservative Movie Lovers: John Ford, John Wayne, and 'They Were Expendable' Part 6
by Leo GrinThe casting of Robert Montgomery (1904--1981) in They Were Expendable was uncommonly appropriate. The suave, handsome actor made his name in debonair romantic comedies throughout the 1930s, but like John Ford he didn't wait until America was dragged into war before enlisting. In 1940, fired up by the...

Once again, Stewart attacks someone more important than himself in the long-shot chance that this will extend his career. Sorry Stewart, but that screaming you hear in the back of your little mind is your own irrelevance, coming hard and fast…
Why is John Stewart funny again?
Ah, good news: it appears Breitbart is having an effect if Stewart feels the need to elevate him to punching bag for his sissy slaps.
This guy is a mugging moron. I had to FF to Andrew, to see what the pathetic putz was going to admonish, since I just think he's an tool. It's the same old formula day-after-day, but what is most disquieting is the numbnuts that post on the site. "John is a hero" blecccch. Go after him Andrew – somebody really has to knock this guy down a peg or two. Dish out what he gives. He can't take it. And throw Colbert on the cart too!
Jon Stewart is a garden variety socialist and preaches to the same 300 000 odd college students every night. Why does anyone care what he has to say? There are no more Republicans in power so his job is even tougher than ever. He is reduced to attacking Rush Limbaugh, Republican congressmen and Brietbart. His poorly informed audience most likely does not even know who these people are (only the most rabid, left wing political insider/junkies would) and so the comedy just isn't there.
Most people aren't aware of this but Jon Stewart is only 4'11" tall and he has a serious Napoleon complex. This poor little man has been reduced to making "funny faces" into the camera 5-10 times a night to get a begrudging laugh out of his stoned audience………how terribly sad.
Didn't really expect anything less from Jon Stewart, the 'de facto' head of the Democratic Party.

Go watch Glenn Beck then-because he's not a fake crier who exploits 9/11 while hating its victims!
Couldn't get myself to watch it. Not in the mood for getting angry just yet. Can't believe I used to like the guy. Even worse, I can't believe Stewart has so much influence. Too many people mistake his "punchlines" for truth and his faces for sincerity (rather than arrogance), and that power's made him drunk.
Obviously, I can't wait for Breitbart's response.
Also, sorry to bring up an annoying question, especially if it's been brought up before, but…Can anyone tell me how I can see all the comments at once, including the replies? All of the sudden – and I don't know if it's an option I accidentally clicked, or if it's a change to the website – I have to click on the "2 Replies" link just to see responses to a comment, whereas before they were all shown, uh, uncollapsed(?). It's really annoying.
Stewart is a hack. He is funny like an 8th grade class clown who uses sarcasm as a reflexive defense mechanism to make others feel induced to laugh out of guilt. Oh…. Oh…… He's making a funny sarcastic face again, I better laugh. It must be funny because the laugh track, errrrr, audience is laughing. Where do they find these people? Straight out of an upper west side coffee shop? Nothing like the echo chamber of the elitist left so called intelligentsia.
Does Jon Stewart share an agent with Kal Penn?
Not only was he his usual nasty self—smirking, shouting, and throwing out factoids that don't mean a bloody thing out of context—but he sounded like he was on a combination of booze and meth. First he sounded drunk, then he sounded hyper. Then he looked like he was going to pass out. He also has a tendency to remember he's of a certain ethnic group only when it suits his purpose just so he can compare the bastardization of St. Patrick's day with Christmas. And the audience hilarity only adds to the bizarre nature of the whole mess.
"This poor little man has been reduced to making "funny faces" into the camera 5-10 times a night…" So he's different from Glenn Beck HOW???
It would be interesting if news organizations could dig up some dirt on Mr Stewart. Aside from the fact that he is to small to be allowed on large amusement park rides, are there allegations of drug use??? Any family members gay? Or in trouble with the law??? You know, all the kinds of things he likes to repeat over and over on his half hour nightly indoctrination of drunk and stoned students. I'm sure there are some skeletons in Mr Stewart's closed, lets get them out in the open!!! I'm also VERY interested in the personal life of Bill Maher and Mr Colbert too!!! These are political figures, we have a right to know!!!
Colbert admits he’s a comedian and doesn’t try to be a commentator. And if none other then Bill O’Reilly himself admits Colbert is dead on and “approves” of the satire, then I can’t argue with it. Plus, Colbert has the unique advantage over Stewart in that Colbert is actually pretty [BLEEP]in’ funny.
I realized last night what ticks me off about Jon Stewart. I live in a house with two TDS fans, so I’m subjecting to his rantings four nights a week. His monologue last night pretty much stated “for eight years, us liberals had to shut up and sit down, and now, conservatives, why don’t you follow our example when it comes to Obama and shut up and sit down?” And that irked me because, aside from talk radio, conservatives have NOWHERE to even “speak up” so we can have the option to “shut up.” Stewart came off to me as saying “for the longest time, the GOP had the White House and Congress, the liberals had the media, but you conservatives kept talking. Now that we have everything, why don’t you just stop talking?”
And then he turns around and hides behind the “I’m just a comedian” flag. When he’s clearly gone from being anything close to a comedian to a talking head for the Obama Administration who has the unique advantage of a live-studio audience that Pavlov would be impressed by, and dropped any pretense of being a comedian, but still clings to that concept every time someone tries to call him out on anything…that irks me. He won’t come out and stand on his beliefs, but he’ll rant to the heavens and then wonder why we’re being so mean to him!
If Stewart’s show was billed as “commentary with a side of comedy” as opposed to “comedy,” then I’d be cool with him. Because his show’s more like Michelle Maddow’s or Sean Hannity’s then anything “comedic” out there today in my mind.
I believe most people know John Stewart (Leibowitz) is short…
When Breitbart gets a hold of Stewart, Jon will put his clown nose on and say he's "only a comedian."
Mark Levin said he was invited by Stewart's show to come on. Levin agreed only under the condition that Stewart will come on Levin's show. Of course Stewart chickened out.
He is a hack comedian and idiot.
He hides under the guise that he is a comedian to not answer to smart people. What a jackass.
Maybe the Christians are concerned about people being lead astray by worshiping a false Idol, as St Patrick is a Roman Catholic Saint (they like to bend the laws to fit their ideology).
If Christians are celebrating St Patrick's day (or just acknowledging him as a St). That would be reinterpreting his law. Gods law are simple, and all shall be judged.
Shill Maher has already admitted to being a pot-smoking athiest who hates everybody in this country…what MORE do you want/need to know about him? Me, I just want the turd to be flushed away already…
I am anxious to see the bout of Breitbart vs Leibowitz
Brilliant on Levin's part.
Dude WTH ya running on about?
Breitbart, I love ya to death! But i gotta say…Jon Stewart cracks me up! Even if he's full of shite, politically, WOW he makes me laugh.
Stewart averages around 1.3mm viewers, so yeah a claim of 300k is absurd. Regardless, his show is crafted towards a certain audience with a certain political bent. If you want to talk about "echo chambers" the shows audience is most certainly that.
who is jon stewart and why should i care?
Matt.. i can answer this one, with what I consider a reasonable response…
"Why does anyone care what he has to say?"
Because every time he opens his mouth and goes after Rush, O'Reilly, Hannity, Andrew.. etc… We get to the chance to see them fire back somewhere… and we get to see them show that people like Stewart are turning into caricatures of themselves.
I will admit, back when Stewart went on the Crossfire show that made him popular with everyone, he was at least enteraining,…I think his ego and his desire to be a "commentator" went to his head… (kinda like a certain 'sportscaster arse').
And DV8.. more often than not, the difference between Beck and Stewart.. is that Beck tries to back up his comments with _facts_ (other than his "The World is Doomed!" scenarios.. that I could do without), while Stewart throws out stuff and tries to imply it's "Comedy".
See I had to re-read your comments for I thought that you had a solid point when the Obama=tyranny read to me at first MsObama=tranny that I thought was the only plausiable point you were making then I re-read it and thought yup this dude is to be placed on the clown watch list i bet yer funnier than John Stewart no?
I bet 350,000 stoned college kids watch stewart and 90% wont graduate
I had to shut it off about halfway through. Jon Stewart is emotionally stunted. It's hard to watch a middle-aged man act like pre-pubescent retard. I pity him, really…
Please don't make a big deal out of this. Remember, Stewart admonished his audience, back in July of last year after a tepid response to an Obama joke, “You know, you’re allowed to laugh at him.” Yeah, the "sh*t taco" joke stings. But at 5:07, when he brings out the commemorative dinner plate it all comes around. He's a lib, but he's obviously uncomfortable with the hero worship.
And he makes a valid point in the end. Mid-terms are right around the corner, and outrage isn't going to change hearts and minds. It's not working for proponents of gay marriage in California, why should it work in national politics?
We can't expect the electorate to be persuaded by a party of knee-jerk reactionaries. Obama's appeal to hope and change may have been empty and platitudinous, but it was a positive and therefore appealing approach (and one he swiped from Reagan.)
Fark Q stewart you are progressive markist just like hussein obamas administration and the leftest democraps.
There is a reason why I don't watch TV, much less subscribe to cable. People like this Stewart character is the reason why! About half way throught the video, I bailed due to the fact that he sounds exactly like the "progressive" (I refer to them as regressives) drones in the college town in which I reside.
Because Glenn Beck is of course synonymous with class-just ask the 9/11 families he "hates"!
From an observation of liberal "comedians" (I shouldn't put the quotation marks there–some of them are actually funny at times), I think I've gotten an understanding of how people on the radical left think. To them, their worldview is so self-evidently, objectively right that no intelligent person could legitimately oppose them. As a result, when those on the right actually do oppose them, they either call them stupid when they make it easy (i.e. Bush or Palin, or most of the other grassroots conservatives throughout the country), or when they're undeniably smart, they either berate them (like Stewart regarding Andrew Breitbart) or imply that they're too smart to believe what they're saying (like Letterman with O'Reilly and Rush Limbaugh). Either way, it amounts to condecension that makes it so hard to debate a liberal on even terms.
I stopped watching TDS during the last campaign cycle when it became painfully obvious that comedy wasn't the main purpose of the show anymore (if it ever was). So when I saw this about him attacking our AB, I thought I'd check it out to see how he was handling his side being in power – maybe calmed down a bit? NOPE. You're right, he was manic – all over the place. If I cared, I'd be concerned for his mental state. The anger (apparently from winning?) beneath the surface is seeing daylight. I don't get it. And I'm glad I don't.
"I'm a fiscal conservative." — yeah sure, tell us another one troll.
Well, guess what, I'm a liberal and I think Obama is the worst President ever. Bush was so much better. I wish my party would stop following this loser fool. He is a real embarassment.
Does Stewart ever address any corruption in the Democratic party? I just can't stand to watch the guy long enough find out. Has he said anything about all the tax cheats/liars that Obama has appointed. Anything on Jefferson, Frank, Dodd etc? He went after Cramer and Carlson because he said they were doing the public a disservice by not telling them everything right?
Same here, man.
Coward. Plain and simple. Won't even use his God-given name.
Wow Dan where did you find the numbers? A Cracker Jack Box? Why don't you admit what you are…a sheeple. A follower. A person who cannot step out of the box and think for themselves. You are a leftist hiding behind your screen name. Why don't you just be yourself. Its freeing. Tool.
To answer you first two questions- yes
And Dan Wilson, welcome to the side of Sanity.
John Stewart is a tool. A totally shallow inconsequential fool. Andrew good job.
John Stewart is the turd of all turds.
Stewart is garbage, I watched him for a little while, once I figured out he is dishonest garbage I do not watch him or Colbert. Both of them have no relevance and are not worth one damned thing. I bet they will fade away in irrelevance.
So who's going to knock this little prick off his pedestal? No one seems up to the task. And a really easy task it is.
Come on, seriously. There's not a single person here who doesn't realize that Stewart's criticism of Breitbart is unquestionably correct?
"Potato Day" is NOT a "politically correct" alternative to "St. Patrick's Day." In fact, it's exactly the opposite!
"Pot of Gold Day" would be politically correct. "Wear Green Day" would be politically correct.
"Potato Day" is most definitely politically INcorrect. I also doubt that this name change came from the school itself. It likely originated from the students.
Sorta like me!
Sorry LWA, but Bill Maher, Chevy Chase and Sandra "ugly in her sleep" Bernhard still outrank him in the turd pecking order…
like me!
Isn't it funny that he is mocking Republicans for saying the same things he was saying about Bush just last year? In fact, he even does a Bush rant in this piece. What he seems to be missing is, the stuff being complained about is real, it's not a joke and liberals are not immune from it either. I wonder how funny he'll think it will be when a lot of the things he loves are made illegal. In fact, I'm wondering how funny he will think things are when Obama's taxes (and Patterson's) take a huge chunk out of his income.
Real journalism??? Just because something makes for a punchline doesn't mean its true. And why did you delight so much in Stewart "roasting" someone who is critical of the Government. You're not a dissident as your name suggests, you're a toady. Your side is the establishment, so go back to some other site and kiss "the man's" boots. By the way Comedy Central is owned by Viacom so Stewart's a corporate shill. He's the clown that puts the happy face on the corporate/government view. Great to see how your "edgy" life turned out.
You are right on the money, and why I can't stand his show anymore. He rants and distorts with the best of them, but then runs behind the "I'm just a comedian" bit anyone calls him out on it. It's absolutely ridiculous.
Wait – Somebody CARES what Jon thinks?
When did that happen?
Patterson needs to be skewered as much as anybody…
This is another in a long line of Stewart rants that are only funny to those devoid of context.
Really it’s good news. Big Hollywood is creeping into the ether invading their comfort zone. In my mind it means what we’re doing is beginning to take hold, aggravating worthless liberals, what fun.
Your just an idiot Dan. You can't even fess up to being a lib..
I don't get it….why are we so thin skinned? I spend most of my news gathering time on Breitbart……in fact…..the first time in months that I watched a portion of the Stewart show was because I was redirected by……you guessed it…..Breitbart. Apparently Jon Stewart is also a fan of Breitbart. Thought it was pretty funny actualy and will continue to watch him make fun of us…..just means that we are getting noticed and doing a good job. That and we are funny people. The libs are afraid and on the run….their own party has been caught with their hands in the cookie jar and america just isn't going to tolerate constitutional tampering and big brother government. The tipping point will be when NEWS sites like Breitbart and Drudgereport are silenced. The face of their leadership exists on a comemerative plate made in Taiwan……ours is in collective reason manufactured right here at home…..The American Way.
It's amazing the levels of arrogance one can achieve when they are performing in front of an audience of cheering Yes-men everyday.
Because he believes his own press.
I get emails about replies to my comments and when I go there none of them show up. There are definitely some bugs to work out.
I do not see how anyone of Jewish descent could support a muslim anti-semite America like obammy the welfare mammy. When he sees Israel turned into dust from an Iranian nuclear missile while with obammy's full support I wonder if will have the courage to be ashamed of himself. Johnny is not funny and he needs to eat S*** and f***ing die.
He does have a whole "rage thing" going doesn't he?
They are all cut from the same sphincter.
JS is angry because he will soon become irrelevant. No more Emmys or Oscar gigs for being a partisan hack. Andrew's outspokenness and his site must really be hitting a nerve.
As long as it's only offensive to Irish people (who are also usually white), it's not politically incorrect. Big picture
"Just because something has a punchline doesn't make it true". I admit you are correct. However, just because something has a punchline doesn't make it false either. In fact, if something has a punchline, and moreover, people find it FUNNY, then its because there is some aspect that does ring true with the audience.
Stewart is part of the establishment the same way Jim Cramer is, to be sure. So is Matt Drudge and Andrew Breitbart, and so are you and me.
Is my side the establishment, now all of a sudden, since Obama won? Well then, was "your side" the establishment right up until before Obama won? And now, you, and Breitbart and Rush and the RNC… you are all outside of the establishment? Your simplistic thinking won't get you far in life.
Beautiful.
He's not. Others think he's funny cause it's some form of 'groupthink'. They think that Obama is the answer.
The thing is – everything the far right pundits are crying about now – that we're on the road to tyranny – is laughable.
With the Bush administration, and I'm trying to be objective, I think there was a loss in civil liberties. I think some things that happened with the Bush Administration (not GWB personally, just the administration) will come out in the next year or so, and it won't be pretty.
Politically, I'm middle of the road – fiscal conservative and social liberal, and while I voted for Bush twice (mostly because I though Gore and Kerry would be worse), lately, the far right is scaring me away.
Liberals are always so selective in their outrage. I notice Stewart never defended Bush against any of his critics.
Obama's approach was to criticize Bush for doing everything wrong. Only a liberal would consider that a positive and appealing approach. Liberals are such hypocrites.
John Stewart is not funny. His shtick has worn itself out.

What is the difference between Jon Stewart and Kim Il Jung? ………………………………………………
3 inches
Breitbart's comment was retarded. "Potato Day"? I mean, come on…
So little Jonny Stewart, host on a nowhere basic cable channel, comes to the defense of "The One" and it's news? My, how comforted Barry must feel.
John Stewart is funny. He is. I'm a consverative, but I still find him humorous – I've been a fan for years.
HOWEVER…. I find that he seems to be barrelling down the path followed by comedians such as Al Franken and David Letterman. He is starting to become less funny – and more angry, more polarizing with his humor, and while he has of course been liberal and obviously so – he no longer seems to care that he allows his bias to dictate his humor, or that he flatly offends 1/2 of the population.
In the past, at least he used to make an attempt to be an equal-opportunity antagonist. That's is no longer the case – and I think we will find soon, that he leaves his current show for something more along the lines of Bill Maher, and his blatant hatred for all things 'Right'.
Makes me sad – I find him charming, intelligent, and funny. It will be another comedian/hollywood type that I personally really used to like watching – and find I no longer care to watch (Matt Damon, Tim Robbins, John Cusack, Sean Penn, Robert Redford, Jessica Alba, et al.)
Wake me up when Jon Stewart is relevant again.
http://the100mostannoyingthings.blogspot.com/
wow – not a troll, just trying to give perspective… dude, I voted for Bush twice, so think of me what you may.
I'd be angry too if I'd pinned all my hopes on Obama only to witness what a pathetic and clueless leader he really is. Hey Barry, can I have an iPod too?
Yes, I was exaggerating about the audience – I looked on the web, and see his daily audience is one to two million. and I do think for myself, thanks. I can say Barney Frank and democrats in Congress were at best misguided in their support for expanding homeownership through lower requirements with FNMA, and I can laugh when I here words like tyranny, communist when someone talks about Obama – come on, you can't deny that.
iPod…I'll be happy with a pot to piss in after he's done.
Ouch – didn't proof read
This was the first (and probably the last) time I ever saw more than 30 seconds of this guy. That kind of hate is like a disease, and I don't want it. I want to go home and take a shower. Ick.
That just doesn't make sense. Why would he defend someone he doesn't like?
A drunk-with-power Leftist is never a pleasant sight.
More to the point, that certain members of the Right have "confused tyranny with losing."
I believe John Stewart has said he thinks people who make as much money as he does should pay higher taxes.
John Stewart pretends that his Fake News is real, and everybody’s Real News is fake.
My favorite Daily Show moment was when he and Christopher Hitchens were going at it over Iraq. Hitchens pointed out that in 1998 the US Senate overwhelmingly passed a resolution to make overthrowing Saddam the official policy of the US (including many Democrats)!
Stewart replied that they thought nobody would be crazy enough to act on that vote.
Hitchens pounced: "So, you are saying that the US Senate, the greatest deliberative body in the world, was just BLUFFING??"
Checkmate. We were swiftly reminded why John Stewart is pushing his material along side crap like "Drawn Together" and "Reno 9-11"—instead of working in a real news organization.
Rage? If you think that's rage, what word would you use to describe Michael Savage?
Ladies and gentleman, my head writer!
Depends on the audience.
Potato Day sounds flat out idiotic and ignorant. But I gotta ask…why does Breitbart send his kids to such a school? Why not pull 'em out and home school, or has he already done so? Sort of funny to see so many here claiming Stewart is somehow irrelevant…yeah, he's on basic cable but the guy is kind of on the top of his game right now, and probably more recognized nationally than anyone who posts on this site. And if he's so inconsequential why does the site run a "John Stewart is a dummy" piece pretty much every other day? Just sayin'.
Good to hear from Glenn Beck's target audience! YEE HAHHHHHHHH!!!!
Yes, it can indeed go both ways. Essentially, Obama seems to be more interested in *governing* us than in *protecting* us.
BTW, “You know, you’re allowed to laugh at him" was only because at the time, Stewart was backing Hillary. Since the nomination, he's been a good little sheep for O-baaa-ma.
Believe me, he doesn't have to leave his show to become more like Bill Maher. His audience has been watching the metamorphosis for a while now.
Reno 911 RULES! If you wanna denigrate Comedy Central programming, start with Mind(less) of Mencia!

I think Stewart is a funny guy, but when he decided — like SNL — did that ideology trumps comedy, he becomes no better than a Taliban douche whipping a kid for flying a kite.

Is it wrong to think the Bush administration made plenty of mistakes?
That's Weiner to y'all here! And don't you forget it!
But that criticism was tempered with "hope and change." He didn't put "Buck Fush" at the bottom of his Shepard Fairey posters.
Funny is in the eye of the beholder. However, if anyone thinks that I'm funnier than Jon Stewart, they probably haven't been paying much attention to either of us.
For what it's worth, I was a regular listener to Limbaugh since the fall of 1989. His show today's nothing like it was back then. 2008 is the only time I ever voted "D", and I wouldn't mind never doing it again. However, what conservatives need is not more Hannity's, who make good parrots, but more Buckly's who can actually think through difficult things and come up with thoughtful ideas. Calling democratically elected officials doing things you disagree tyranny is really rather silly, and it doesn't bode well for the movement if this is what their people look up to. By the way, any quality tyrant would have shut up the opponents by now.
Let's face it ladies and gentlemen, Jon Stewart will defend Obama even after he allies with the terrorists to force American's to subject themselves to radical Islam. I think he'd give up his Jewish roots to follow Obama to the promised land of 33 Virgins and Honey. Oh yeah and for the record Mr. President AMERICA IS a Christian nation so quit apologizing and start respecting the fallen heroes at Normandy instead of cowtowing to OPAC Sheiks.
Except most of the people he's mocking are warning against it, not saying it's happening now,. They're saying the steps toward it are being made. And they're right. All these laws being passed are crypto-fascist laws. When the state takes over banks and corporations and start dictating how they run things, that's fascism. When they force children into paramilitary groups what does that remind you of? They just passed an Americorps law that says mandatory service will be required. Obama stated in his campaign website that he wants a civilian force equal to the military.
If Stewart wasn't such a hack he would bother to look this stuff up. It's not a joke. And yeah, some of it was started under Bush. I don't personally think the parties matter because the government is its own party and both Dems and Republicans keep the monster growing.
Stewart has the blindness many ideologues that his party are the good guys and they can do no wrong. It's very foolish to think that way.
Don't any of you goose-stepping fools find it at least marginally interesting that there ARE NO conservative comedians (at least no funny ones, anyway)? You guys take yourselves way too seriously. Lighten up, Francis.
How are those shorts fitting, Dangle? You're right though…Reno 911 is hilarious.
I can't wait to for AB's response, either. Will he claim is PC "potato day" beef was taken out of context? Will he point out that Stewart is only a comedian, like Limbaugh (Rush referred to himself as such)? Will he complain about how the Left just can't take a joke?
I'm on pins and needles.
Leave it to Stewie to perpetuate his disparaging of truely smart conservatives, including one of my favorites, Andrew Breitbart (and after learning about Andrew's new friendship with Congressman Thaddeus McCotter, I'm even more a fan!). Found this great video on You Tube (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KCLewax2-zY) of Andrew at the Americans for Limited Government gathering, and again, I'm hoping that Andrew maintains his voice out there, especially for young conservatives in Los Angeles who know they're outnumbered by a sea of liberals (especially in entertainment!).
If you a fiscal conservative, you should be worried. The guy pissed away $3.5 trillion.
What crap. What you are seeing and denying is a real grassroots revolt in the early stages. This pig, Obama is plowing forward with a leftist fairy tale agenda that has absolutely nothing to do with the economy, enviroment or the geo-political situation. He had his leftist mind made up years ago, only now can he sow his neo-communist seeds. He'll lose the House in 2010 and get swept out, Carteresque style in 2012. Book it, lay big money on it. Since you admit voting for this POS bet somebody else's $$$$ on it. It's all the same to Dems.
Please educate us on the context of Breitbart blaming Obama for political correctness in his daughter's elementary school. Another case of picking the stupidest triffling thing and trying to make a big deal out of it.
Did you not think the overall point of "you lost, get over it" was valid?
Ya know, I shouldn't laugh (as a soccer player for 18-odd years) but, yeah, that's still pretty funny.
Oooohhh Ohhhhhh lemme attem! I'll knock him off with my knock-knock jokes and fat gut! OOOOOOOHHHHHHH!!!!
A lack of a core ideology or core principals is scarier than the claim that you manage to make it the polls every four years. Despite idiodic claims to the contrary and occassional confusion from some of the RINO's, the GOP has a core philosophy. Anybody that voted for Obama doesn't adhere to the barest minimum of these basic core principals. Don't sing the same old "I can think for my self and I blah, blah,blah… that's a tired old song. So vote which ever way the wind takes you. It's legal, but intellectually shallow. Like birdbath deep intellectionally shallow. So, go take a bird bath, bird brain.
John Stewart is 5 foot 6 inches tall and what does that have to do with anything? Oh wait, you were trying to be funny!!! I get it. So, if someone is powerful and/or seeks power and just happen to be below average height that mean they have Napoleon complex, that they are somehow trying to make up for this perceived inadequacy? Let me guess, you call women who are strong and smart, "bitches" too? And what of tall men seeking power? Why is there no term for power hungry tall people? Or, are they just arse holes?
and counting…."global warming" is going cost the tax payer, what comes after trillions? zillions? bazillions?
Ya, I know. Sorry soccer players. It really does get physical down there once in a while. I'm middle aged so we didn't play "soccer", even here on the Mexican border. Everybody that wasn't a midget and could run played good old "tackle" football, then basketball. In the spring you ran track if you were fast enough. The dorks took P.E., the best of the rest played on the teams. I had to forge my mothers signature to play. She's of Mexican decent and thought I'd get killed. I didn't, I did the maiming, soooo soceer is just a bit of a rhetorical pinchimg bag for me. Sorry, soceer players are "badasses"!
jon stewart aka john lebowitz is as relevant as an 8 track cassette.
It's not healthy talking to yourself troll. And yes, talking to your various sock puppets counts as talking to yourself.
I didn't know that. So Tom Cruise (another intellectual giant) is TALLER than JOHN "friggin" STEWART?
Hey…Leibowitz…I recognize that name…was his mother Fran Liebowitz the co-ed that was tragically killed in a kiln explosion in "Animal House"?
RIght. Of course. It's all false, Mr. Price. JUst like everything you said was true, right?
NOthing I wrote was false, not one shred. Can you provide ANY actual evidence to the contrary other than your OPINION? You know, verifiable, empirical evidence? Yeah. I didn't think so.
"More 18-28 Americans trust him as their first choice for news and information according to three recent polls including one done by Nielsen."
You say that like the opinions of 18-28 year-olds are important.
Whew, somebody hit a nerve!…are we a itsy bitsy widdle short guy? Do mean big guys lean on your head in the lunch line? Do we have an extra big dictionary to drive Mom's car? Subject to going airborne when you get to close to a "midget toss"? unable to ride the "big kid rides" at Disneyland? sorry, got cared away…it's 6'0" person sickness…

Meh. Not that big of a deal for me.Typical Stewart. He uses out of context clips, (I had actually seen every clip he used in full), and make them seem irrational. Personally, I have grown fond of his lack of irrelevance. He has nothing to do now that Bush is gone, as he cattily noted at the end of the clip, and he did make a fortune out of being in the party out of power. I think it's funny how his audience is composed of a bunch of half-wits, college kids and stoned teenagers. (I think I might have been redundant there, sorry). This is a future Letterman audience.
You just exploit it for political gain. But at least you admit it happened, that smarter than most of you idiot trolls.
Colbert a POLITICAL figure? REALLY? Since when was he elected (and who "voted" for him)? And what does than make O'Reilly, Beck, Olbermann et al- aka the types that Colbert is obviously parodying?
Some soccer teams really do get rough. I had a friend who ended up losing a testicle from being hit with a ball so hard. Some of the college teams in the US I have seen do play like girls. Funny as #ell joke, though, James! Oh, since the Intense Debate is still collapsed thread, does that mean we are stuck with it? I hate it, and haven't been coming here as much. I know we are losing posters, and I didn't think that was the idea. Anyone know?
They're "co-potentates". It's a communal thing, Dems like communal things…they want to "communal" your bank account right now, watch out.
Explains the election though don't it? I'm all for get out the vote efforts, right up until that means digging up the lowest common denominator, taking them to the polls, and giving them a cookie after telling them who to vote for on the entire trip.
I have to agree. George said nothing inflammatory and I think he makes a good point. Reducing the level of discourse to that of the childish Left is not a path I want to go down.
This thread is replete with ad hominen attack on Jon Stewart instead of analysis of what he said and why he is right or wrong.
I understand that Breitbart is the figurehead for Big Hollywood and I am personally proud to have him as our "leader". But, the reflexive defense of Andrew by trying to skewer Stewart is very unbecoming. This is what the Kos Kids and Olbermann do and I despise it.
Personally, I think Stewart took a good shot at the "Potato Day" comment. Was he taking Andrew's comment out of context by mixing it with other more outraged clips? Probably. Was it funny? Well, I laughed.
None of this means that I agree with Stewart. Rather, I just wish we could keep our criticisms of him above the grade-school level of Leftist hate sites.
You can get them to reopen, it just takes some nudging now and then. The way that always seems to work for me is to resort them by last activity and then open them back up.
Bird Brain? Idiotic? Do you have to go into name calling? Can't you just debate the issue?
I have a core ideology, it just doesn't fit in with either party. I'm for or against issues. Are you saying that the Republican hasn't stayed from their core philosophy? What happened to the Contract for America? Where did the huge amounts of deficit spending under the Bush administration come in? Should we reward the Republican Party for getting away from their core by voting them in again? Or maybe voting them out just so they could sit back and get back to those values.
Please note that Gary Graham (yes, the one with the really popular posts on this site) dared to defend Jon Stewart's humor and he got a thumbs down. To me, that is the intolerance I saw from the Left the last 8 years and I do not wish to see it here.
I am completely against "get out the vote" efforts and I wish everyone would stay home and not participate. Every time another person votes, my personal ability to influence the result of the election goes down.
Don't bother them, they have their talking points! They just know that Beck is exploiting 9/11 widows because they saw a clip taken out of context or someone said so on a site they visit. I know exactly what Beck said, and that wasn't it. Typical crap they do, like to Rush and like there with Andrew. He had been discussing a whole different subject when before he made the little joke about potato day and political correctness. He didn't say Obama ordered it directly.
Sorry Dan, nobody's buying the concern troll routine. No one believes you are some reasonable "consrevative" who is just bothered by what you find here.
It's pretty obvious that you are also anifascist, max, and george, if not more.
I really don't like the collaped thread either. I wish they would just let it alone. The revamp was just great, now it seems like they are over tweaking it. You know, like a Rochester carburator on a 350, turn the screw, turn the screw, turn the scr…OH CRAP, screwed it up! start over…
er, sorry Dan. Got a little carried away. Yes the party strayed totally away from the "Contract". Power corrupted, they were turned out. My opoint is that alomost always the issues line up on the "left" or "right" paradigm. In Texas we say that the middle of the road is where the dead skunks lay, and the TxDOT road strip painter doesn't stop to move ol' Pepe, they just paint right over them. Besides bird bath and bird brain seemed to go together, sorry
!
Concerning the deficit spending, that is THE major malady afflicting government today. Texas and many other states have to BALANCE their budgets BY LAW. No deficits. We have a fiscal train wreck happening right now, it DWARFS the Bush budgets by an exponential amount. This is reminding the American public "Presidents proposes, the Congress disposes". Since Jan.2007 this has been on the Dems, the compromised their way to spending increases, now they have a legislative neophyte rubber stamping INSANE spending. I don't have to take back my vote, i saw this coming, to some extent.

Still waiting for you to explain how Breitbart is more "important" than Stewart to anyone other than the readers of this site. Or, how any of what I said was incorrect.
But of course you can't disprove my statements no more than you can actually back up any of your own.
The onus is on you. You cowardly, pathetic, ignorant buffoon.
Ol' Jon plays to his room, his gallery who want first to be affirmed in their prejudices and second to be emotionally satisfied in bullying whoever is not them. He is a cortesan for the lefty bordello, and would not do most of his jokes if he did not know his audience is hatefully ignorant. Andy is being dinged by Jon the prostitute because his masters want Andy subjugated, his audience enjoys subjugation and cortesan gigs are not easy to get.
Yes, yes, if only we were like the media with Palin and the plumber, we could find that Jon can see Utopia from his house, or is too stupid to be able to spell his real name, or had Rhambo's baby. The creative possibilities are endless, but based on the assumption that we want his 1.3m gallery, and comes with the issue that we would then be as corrupt as Jon.
Oh, but the Bush=tyranny thing isn't laughable at all.
"cowardly, pathetic, ignorant buffoon"? Oh my. . . Boy did you put me in my place. LOL!!
Actually, no, I'm not going to blow this off. This is a really poor effort. You want to be a troll and this is the best you've got? Droopy, you couldn't troll a Disney board with this weak a..s sh..t. Make me feel it b..tch. Put a little gray matter behind your work. Come on droopy, step up or shut up.
Oh, and by the way, I can disprove everything you've said. But then, why should I bother? What have you offered to motivate me?
There is, and is name is "kingfish" your messiah, now get your little peice of carpet out and bow down to the muslim a
There is, and his name is "Kingfish" the messiah, now get your little carpet runner and pray to the Messiah your Muslim A**hole.

To: John Stewart. Please just go away.
He is right on one point, I know that as an average citizen I was pretty mad every time Bush and Cheney illegally wire tapped my phone and look at my Libarary records and placed me on no fly lists!
Oh! wait a minute that happened on my trip to fantasyland!
The crap Stewart spouts about Pres. Bush never affected any "Law Abidding" American!
On the other hand as a smoker I have already seen Baracks dream affect me with new taxes to pay for more feel good welfare programs.
I'm not rich, yet somehow "Dear Leaders" Benevolance is costing me a lot of money.
Bush's ideas effected very few! Barry's ideas will effect everyone!
Prime example of why The Right still fails to "get" why The Daily Show and Stewart 'work.'
Yeah, it's sarcasm, but it supports a pretty solid counterpoint to what can politely be called overreaction from Beck et al: Where WAS the "conservative" outrage when it was Bush propping up government-expanding programs?
Why don't we just do whats on everyones mind here? Lets ask the most important question of the new administration……..What does Dennis Miller, king of all rants think about Jon Stewart and The Daily Show?
I have to add that as NYC regresses back to the hellhole is was in the 1970's, I am reminded that Jon Stewart's studio is located in Hell's Kitchen on 11th Ave and the 40's; no doubt all his pimply-faced, jelly-spine audience won't be too happy have to travel into a crime zone to see Jon Stewart in action.
Apparently I would first have to educate you as to what the word "context" means. Breitbart was merely using a personal example to illustrate a larger assumption and claim — that Obama was hastening the destruction of language. I would hope you were going for irony, but I somehow doubt it.
Perhaps you were too busy bashing Bush to notice that quite a few Conservatives were not at all happy about the big spending under Bush; unfortunately the current President has in just 75 days spent three times the amount Bush spent over 8 years.
So defending Obama's big spending by going after Bush's big spending is about as useful as Jon Stewart's idiotic show.
And to mention Beck specifically is really odd, since Beck was hugely anti-Bush era enlargement of the government.
sorry but anything that is aligned with Fox (& Murdoch) is a part of the establishment as far as I'm concerned.
I am not with Obama no matter what he does. I'm ONLY with Obama as long as he does what he says and has said. So far he's been mostly consistent. He starts acting like Bush to much tho, and his followers will disperse, garaunteed!
Sorry who is this "Jon Stewart"? I know of a Jonathan Leibowitz, but that's it.
Uh . . . you're kidding, right? Miller and Stewart are great friends. In fact, in a recent visit with Bill O'Reilly, in which they discussed the Cramer interview, Miller stuck up for Stewart and called him a mensch (I'd be happy to try link it although it's not directly linkable at FOX.)
I happen to be fond of Stewart and hate Miller, so it doesn't thrill me. But Miller was also one of Stewart's early cheerleaders–Miller's brother was Stewart's first manager. They did standup tours together.
Keep fishing! I enjoy watching y'all flail pointlessly in your lust to diss JS.
Mark Levin has alreadyn sold more copies of Liberty and Tyrrany than Leibowitz actually has fans.
And by the by …. Southpark is a hirer rated show than the Daily Show.
And Comedy Central's ratings are crap anyways……… but it is a cable network so …..
But nevermind any of that …..
The real question I have for you is why do some members of the YouTube community think that mathemateical constants represented by lowercase Greek letters of the alphabet are Gay!
By the way who is Stewart the Birth certificate states another name………
What….I enjoy watching the JS clips on Breitbart. Im just trying to get Dennis Miller to come out of his cave so I can rub it in one of the other posters faces for saying there aren't any funny conservatives. SEE…im not lusting after Stewart…Im lusting after Dennis Miller!
Wait that came out wrong.
I think there is a bug ….. You open a thread that says 7 comments and you get two…. I edit my threads because it is easier to correct errors after I have posted them. There is more room to read the post.. I noted that it stated there were four replies instead on the one I made. I had edited it three times.
Obama's trolls will be ranting about this for days at digg.com and their other haunts.
Oooops . . . sorry, Louis.
I'm a little punchdrunk after reading all the other comments.
But I hope you're not lusting after Dennis.
I am sorry….
When was it that the liberals shut up and sat down, exactly ……
Does he mean the first 15 minutes on 911 after the first tower fell….. other than that …….
FTL&R: I will now insult you in your native language …..
Ok Nak gowamba Trubba dart doohickey lumlun lum
HA HA HA HA
Actually we call short little 5'6" whiners with a Napolean complex "beeotchez."
We call Strong and Smart women up on the phone and ask them if they have any plans for dinner.
The tried MAtt ….
But Stewart has very cleverly changed his name……
Hey Chris, as a shorter guy myself (5'9") I am offended by your obvious "little man" complex. It just perpetuates the stereotype and hinders our progress.
Moreover, why are leftists so sensitive about EVERYTHING??? I think Benjamin Franklin said it best when he remarked "adults who take offense are whiny little bitches."
Are people really getting upset over the "potato day" reference? Really?
How thin must your skin be to be offended by that?
Yeah, I can't bring myself to watch this either. Normally I do, but watching Stewart is a lot like trying to watch Saturday Night Live (amazingly, it's still on).
Watching Jon Stewart and SNL is like having a huge boil on your nose: it's painful, embarassing, and you don't want anyone to know you've seen them.

Im certainly not lusting after Bill O'Reilly…..too scary
John Stewart is funny. He is. I'm a consverative, but I still find him humorous – I've been a fan for years.
HOWEVER…. I find that he seems to be barrelling down the path followed by comedians such as Al Franken and David Letterman. He is starting to become less funny – and more angry, more polarizing with his humor, and while he has of course been liberal and obviously so – he no longer seems to care that he allows his bias to soooo strongly dictate his humor, or that he flatly offends (read: denigrates) 1/2 of the population.
In the past, at least he used to make an attempt to be an equal-opportunity antagonist. That's is no longer the case – and I think we will find soon, that he leaves his current show for something more along the lines of Bill Maher, and his blatant hatred for all things 'Right'.
Makes me sad – I find him charming, intelligent, and funny. It will be another comedian/hollywood type that I personally really used to like watching – and find I no longer care to watch (Matt Damon, Tim Robbins, John Cusack, Sean Penn, Robert Redford, Jessica Alba, et al.)
Gain solace in the fact that Obama is what? 5'11"? 6'0"? And see? He has absolutely NO IDEA what he's doing MOST of the time. At least his wife is a big ol' giant sized, anaconda armed Amazon. She probably beats him like a circusmonkey in the West Wing. "Barry, bring my damn scotch and water, NOW!" "Barry, I want to named the Queen of America, NOW" "What?" "What you talking bout Willis?" " Can't be QUEEN?!" "You get that skinny azz over here I'm gonna….." " why yi oughta…$%#^^&^& Hussein!"
There is a reason for that. When LittleBigMan smarms, it's considered comedy. When a Limbaugh does it, it's considered vile hate speech. Hmmmm…….goose-stepping fools …..hmmmmm,…. yeah, we'll see.
No that was Leibowitz er the guy embarrased by his own ethnic heritage so he has to change his name…..
Who is that ……. Hmmmm…….. By the way since you are lib named antifascist you must be a big supporter of the Third way…….. you know when socialist governments take an major influence in corporations through regulation and government ownership.
You agree with that ….. Right!
