Well done, “Daily Show.”

More please.

My guess is that Trump is upset over the way in which Stewart’s voice changes at right around the 3:50 mark when the “Daily Show” host assumes the role of Cain while making a joke about the Lindbergh baby.

Stewart has been criticized in the past for mocking Cain with a “black  dialect,” and Trump has had to defend more then a few phony charges of racism created out of nothing by Obama’s MSM Palace Guards. Therefore, since he wasn’t given the benefit of the doubt, Trump’s probably wondering why Stewart is.

Personally, I’m not seeing the racism. Stewart just sounds like Bing Crosby to me, but I don’t mind seeing leftists hoisted by their own petard. Hyper-sensitivity and fascistic political correctness are of their own making, and Stewart is one of America’s top 10 Speech Policers.

I do wonder, though, how the MSM would react in the exact same circumstance if it was Dennis Miller mocking Barack Obama instead of Jon Stewart mocking Herman Cain.

Yes, yes, I know, Jon  Stewart had his clown nose on and is therefore allowed to lie by omission because *raise voice to near-squeak like Stewart does* it’s only comedy!

But for those of you who get your news from The New Murrow Who Doesn’t Take Himself At All Seriously Because He’s Just A Comedian, there’s…

…This, this, this, and this.

Oh, and this, this, this and this.

Man, that Jon Stewart *slaps knee* is just high-larious when he doesn’t tell the full truth!

ADDED: And this!

But Stewart chose scab over principled solidarity, MacFarlane’s “Family Guy” gave him a tweak over it, and…

Wow.

Just a wee taste of the medicine he ruthlessly dishes out every week and Stewart’s crybabying over it.

Why am I not at all surprised?

It’s also worth mentioning that when it comes to dealing with personal mockery and criticism — especially from “South Park,” from what I’ve seen, MacFarlane has aways kept his sense of humor about it.

It was absurdly obvious Hank Williams Jr. was using a metaphor — a horribly misguided one when referencing the president of the United States, but a metaphor nonetheless, and the hysteria over this has been  jaw-dropping, calculated, phony, and ginned up. I don’t like hearing my president compared to Hitler — didn’t like it when Bush was president, don’t like it now with Obama in office — but compared to, you know, the ACTUAL comparisons we’ve seen from the Left comparing Bush to Hitler, Williams Jr. sounds pretty tame.

Anyway, my colleague Dana Loesch is one of the few who got this exactly right. This is an ESPN story, not a Hank Williams Jr. story.

And as much as I love me some “Fox and Friends,” Stewart’s opening bust is a pretty clean one.  This is why we avoid the whole “Shut Up and Sing” mentality at “Big Hollywood.”It’s just a fact that celebs can have an impact on the politics downstream from them. Sometimes that impact can be used for good and sometimes not. Do I care what Roseanne says? Yes, I do. She’s a moron but the MSM will always find her useful to create distractions and her nihilistic approach is very appealing to young people looking for a reason to not give damn about anything other than stroking their own narcissism — which means you’re pulling the lever marked “D.”

It’s worth mentioning that in the past I’ve been very critical of what I’ve seen as Jon Stewart’s speech policing, so  it would be unfair of me not to credit him here with defending speech. Let’s see if he can extend this one day streak.

The Left’s growing disappointment with Obama only has to do with his current approval rating. I can guarantee you that if the President did everything exactly the way he’s doing now but was at 55% approval as opposed to 39% and on his way to easy re-election, Jon Stewart and the rest would be overjoyed with the job Obama’s doing. The Left simply must blame “the job the President is doing” because they can’t face the fact that the policies Obama put into place have failed because those are the policies the Left has believed in for generations. To stare into the abyss and admit their own ideas don’t work is too much to bear. So instead, we get this:

Stewart in Rolling Stone:

“Obama ran on this idea that the system and the methodology are corrupt. It felt like the country was upset enough that he had the momentum needed to re-­evaluate how business is done. Instead, when he got elected, he acted as though the system is so entrenched that it has to be managed rather than – I don’t want to say decimated, because I’m not an anarchist or a nihilist. But I’m surprised at how much he deferred to the legislative process. He’s accomplished some things, and I’m sure he’s pleased with what he’s done, but I would have preferred to see something a little bit more transformative. They haven’t made the case that government can be effective, or accountable, or agile.”

And this:

“He feels like the only president who begins every press conference with a heavy sigh. I think he was already kind of over us by the time he got into office. And now he’s like, ‘What the fuck is wrong with these people?’”

Obama’s hovering in the thirties because he’s a failed president with no one to blame but the ideas and policies he and other Leftists like Stewart wanted to see enacted. Never forget that for two years the Left owned Congress, had a filibuster-proof majority in the Senate, and passed a wish-list of big government programs that not only haven’t worked but have made things worse.

Obama’s problem isn’t his attitude or presentation. Obama’s problem is that he got everything he and his supporters wanted, which in turn proved beyond any doubt that what they believe in is bad for America, especially the poor. 

How people can claim to care about this country and the plight of the poor and not come to terms with the failure of their own ideology is beyond me.

The idea here is to paint conservatives as prudes and hold tight to that narrative at all costs. The idea here is to pretend there was no legitimate reason for opposing Common’s White House invitation.

When the Left rose up to defend Common’s White House invite, they only focused on criticism of the rapper’s lyrics (which was silly). What they intentionally ignored and continue to ignore is Common’s 2005 statement opposing interracial relationships.

That kind of talk is indefensible unless, of course, you’re a Leftist. And most especially if the airing of such a thing will hurt a Democrat president.

This is why we call Jon Stewart and the MSM ‘Palace Guards.’

It really is too bad Newsweek editor Tina Brown was unable to control her worst instincts.  With last month’s cover story of Sarah Palin — which was widely praised — it looked as though Brown might have decided to revive the leftist rag’s awful reputation for bias. But as the saying goes…

No one can take away your credibility. You can only give it away.

Buh-bye.

Man oh man, Jon Stewart has the left-wing spin and talking points down cold, doesn’t he? No one with even a smidgen of intellectual honesty uses the term “revenues increases,” and to blame the Bush tax cuts (or any tax cuts) on the deficit — especially after Obama’s unprecedented spending orgy — is nothing more than pure propaganda.

Do Tea Partiers want government gone? No.

Do Tea Partiers want to pay zero dollars in taxes? No.

But if you got your news from Jon Stewart, you wouldn’t know that. And God help us all, people do get their news from Jon Stewart.

“Revenue increases?” It’s called a “tax increase.” And if your ideology is so pure, Mr. ClownNoseOffAndOn, and so right and so popular, why are you afraid to say “tax increase”? Why are you afraid to say, “We must take money away from private citizens and out of the private economy in order to give it to the government to spend”?

I thought so.
