‘The Audacity of Hos’: ‘Daily Show’ Skewers ACORN

Best part for me was Stewart ripping the MSM journalists for not breaking the story and being outdone by two kids bearly out of high school.

"I'm a fake journalist and I'm embarrassed…"

"i'm a fake journalist and I'm embarrased."
just about says it all

he didn't talk about video # 4. I think that womanin San Bernadino talks too much. I think she is one of those who tries to gety you to like her by embellishing her story to sound better. I actually fell sorry for her.
But the fact remains, the ACORN people didn't run screaming for the hills or the cops. The ACORN organization says the tapes are not accurate yet fires these expendable people. And our president worked for this group at one time.
No wonder they are hanging their hats on "racist" they have nothing else.

it's tough to shame the shameless, but we may actually be making some headway in this area. unfortunately, the MSM machine will still make sure they put light years between ACORN & their messiah.

Great job, Jon Stewart!

"Where were the "real" journalists?" They were checking their daily emails from the DNC to see what part of Obama's agenda to report on for the day. Its pretty much undertood by the American people that any news network with the letter "C" in its name, is corrupt, dishonest and working for the Democrats.

Except for the alternative media, journalism really is dead an America.

This comedy skit would be funny if it weren't real! Thanks to the two jounalist who put themselves on the front and exposed this corrupt Obama sanctioned organization. Thanks to John Stewart for granting time to inform the MSNBC, CBS, and ABC what they missed.

These comedians still won't touch or make fun of Obama though. But this is progress… a corner is being turned here. Let's keep it up.

Supporting ACORN means supporting child pornography and prostitution. ACORN supporters are pedos.

There's no stopping it now that Stewart has got a hold of it. If the MSM continues to ignore it, they've pretty much thrown in the towel. We know journalism is dead– but this may be just the thing to demonstrate it to everyone else.

" . . . go the way of Dennis Miller . . ."

That would be awesome. It's too much to hope for!

Ha! "The Audacity of Ho's" So funny. Stewart can be a tool, but here's one time when he uses the brain in his head. Very cool to see a member of the liberal media calling out the liberal media itself.

A great moment for Stewart there. But the more impressive thing is how Charles Gibson admitted he never heard of the story! Can you believe that? One of the longest standing "journalists" on ABC News says he never even heard the story, and when he did hear about it said, "maybe we should leave that to the cables"! WTF!!!!

Did you notice the audience wasn't exactly rolling with laughter? I must say I'm surprised and pleased that Jon Stewart did a skit on this but it is telling that the lib audience he normally panders to was not exactly pleased.

Hell has frozen over (though technically, the small town of Hell, MI freezes over every winter). Yesterday, I willlingly and enthusiastically gave props to Obama for calling Kanye a Jackass, and today, I am seeing John Stewart bringing things to light, not only about Acorn, but about the MSM in general.

A long way to go, but the darkness is starting to clear.

"he didn't talk about video # 4"

The show was taped before the San Bernardino video was released

I knew Stewart would eventually do something that wasn't completely stupid. If he did this more often to balance his liberal junk, I might actually watch him.

That's what I meant, A New York, Italian, Mafia accent. Kinda racist, to compare ACORN workers to the Mafia.

I hate Stewart, always have – not funny at all. But you have to give him props for telling it like it is, re: the state run media.

I forced myself to watch this because of the comments and I must say I really laughed at it! Well it's that or cry I guess. Even Stuart could understand it this time; just a couple of kids with some fairly low budget equipment. Come on news folks, wake up!!! There's history going on, quit examing the insides of your nether regions!

Please people!
The "one time Stewart . ..blah blah blah"
If you actually watched the show, you'd realize that no one is safe from criticism or being outed for their hypocrisy on the Daily Show. He's no doubt a liberal and doesn't try to hide it. With that said, he's certainly more apt to point out flaws on both sides rather than spout agenda driven talking points for either side of the aisle.

Oh man! I just realized how FUNNY this guy is now that he said something that's in line with my ideological bent! HAR HAR HAR

Let me guess. You didn't find it funny at all.

"The picture we got from Obama was that of idealistic young lawyers pushing old ladies in wheelchairs towards food"

That made me laugh!

This…………is priceless.

Oh, and NPR, too.

"…the darkness is starting to clear. "

That's racist! /sarcasm

be still my heart at the thought of him coming to his senses.

"If I've lost Jon Stewart…" Exactly what I was going to say. Thus far the Palace Guard Media has been content to ignore l'affaire ACORN, treating it as an irritating smelly gatecrasher to their dainty news cycle country club. Color me shocked that Stewart actually covered the story, and kudos to him for doing so. What's interesting is that Stewart is also the darling of the DC/NY media axis, and his coverage of the story (especially the overt slap at other media types) now makes it difficult for them to continue neglecting it.

A sign that it might be clearing is the 2 million who agree with you that marched last Saturday.

His audience will still overlook that part.

Like the Old Media icon, Charles Gibson, this was probably the first they'd heard about the ACORN scandal. They didn't know what he was talking about.

That's absolutely right, jerkoff. I *love* that Stewart skewered your precious ACORN but what makes it even better is that you're bothered by it, you disgusting shitbag liberal.

You better believe Don Hewitt is having a big laugh while wondering why his boys at 60 minutes dropped the ball a long time ago. NIce to see real investigative journalism again!

I'm still waiting to see if that sack of scum Letterman ever does a piece on it. Strange. I haven't seen any of these ACORN busts on the HuffyPot.

Thank you Jon for exposing the MSM for being asleep on the job!

Stewart has always said he was a fake journalist. He's on the Comedy Channel and his lead in used to be a bunch of puppets making crank phone calls and now it is a cartoon with a bunch of rude kids.

Word. These lame racists need to ignore that Stewart is against Acorn aiding child prostitution rings and only praise really awesome people like Sean Hannity and that bastion of hip, Griff Jenkins (I used to think he was a dork but then I noticed he wore cool glasses).

Which has always been his excuse for being so one sided. He tries to be a part of serious politics (and is successful with younger demographics), but falls back to "I'm just a comedian" anytime he gets called out on his ridiculous bias. Only this time the evidence was so overwhelming even he couldn't spin it.

I've missed him being serious about politics on his show even when he has politicians on. I've only seen the comedy routines, but I only catch the show a few times a week.

I did see him be serious about chastising Jim Cramer, which I think was a little undeserved since Mad Money is an entertainment show, not a hard hitting investigative show and the very term "Mad Money" means "expendable money to gamble in the stock market".

I've also seen him serious about politics when he went on Crossfire and chastise Tucker Carlson and Begalu for not asking serious questions of politicians. They asked him to be funny and he said he wasn't going to be their monkey. But again that wasn't "The Daily Show" which makes no pretense to be anything other than a satirical news broadcast..

Jon Stewart-Bipartisanship we can believe in.

I loved the part at the end about Fox lol. A big name Liberal who I like. Holy Shit, I guess this really is just a page out of the book of Revelations.

(And Michael Moore is the Dragon that swallows the Sun)

I had the same idea, for better or worse, Jon Steward is the Walter Cronkite of this generation and if Obama loses him, he's lost the culture war. I doubt we are there yet.

Wow, color me impressed….

UPDATE (3 hours later)
I just read something on NRO that said the lady in the video knew these two were goofing on her and so she played along. Of course somewhere else mentions she feared for her safety.
I figureed something was kind off. So this San Bernadino vidoe may backfire to a certain extent, but the fact remains that the other videos have no such complications to date.

I have seen him be serious on the daily show.

Every once in a while I like John Stewert…

For those wondering, he actually has slowly but surely been making Obama jokes, but they're always met with stunned silence or confused 'ohs' by his studio audience.

John Stewart is a racist. This proves it.

Yeah, we really shouldnt say anything when our idealogical enemies show they have some common ground with us.

Take a Hint, and get the hell outta here.
