Daily Show, yikes.

[Fuzz]

Truth hurts.

Watch if you can.

[dennis4868]

1. cant watch....

what did John say?

[Powdered Toast Man]

36. It'll be on Hulu in the morning. n/t

[buddysmellgood]

2. What's it about? I can't watch till tomorrow.

[quinnox]

3. Sounds like Stewart is about to go on the White House "enemies list"

Can't be criticizing this president in war time, damn it.

[FrenchieCat]

5. Why not. Everyone else is doing it......

It's the latest fad!

[Powdered Toast Man]

37. Don't tell me it's "unpatriotic"

I got sick of that when Dubya was in office. Personally, I'm too concerned with the nuclear disaster that is getting worse, but the news no longer finds profitable to talk about.

[ReggieVeggie]

6. uh oh

back under the bus with you Jon! He's been under and over many times in the last 2 years.

[ReggieVeggie]

4. a little info?

What was the Yikes for?

[Fuzz]

8. Total dismemberment of our foreign policy hypocrisy.

[dennis4868]

12. thats crazy...

anyone with half a foreign policy brain know that what you can in one country does not necessarily mean you can definitely do the same action in another country....the guy is nitpicking because, well, he has too....

[sudopod]

38. I would be curious to know what you think we should do about the situation in

the Democratic Republic of Congo.

[Lucky 13]

44. The country has the word "Democratic" in it's name...

... so clearly we needn't do anything.

:sarcasm:

[arcane1]

7. Cool, I anticipate watching it tomorrow :)

I love the fact that they show the previous night's episodes online :)

[dennis4868]

9. Jon is a typical DUer....

I dont expect him to defend Obama anymore....no matter what Obama does it has to be the wrong and a very bad decision....damn the facts....can watch Jon anymore....many of my neighbors feel the same way now.

[Very_Boring_Name]

11. Is it his job to defend Obama?

I thought he was a comedian, not a PR rep for Obama.

[dennis4868]

14. I never said that...

he should use the facts and his brains.....

[Very_Boring_Name]

15. What facts has he gotten wrong?

[dennis4868]

21. there are many examples....

I will give you only ONE example right now....with regard to Gittmo, Obama issued an executive order to close it, made plans for its closure but congress will not fund the closure of Gittmo....time after time Congress (including dems in congress) would not fund it closure....Obama is not a wealthy enough man to close Gittmo on his own out of his own pocket....a few weeks back Stewart made it look asd though Obama changed his mind on clising Gittmo and broke his promise.

The liberals never blame congress for legislation shortcomings, never the DINOs, the weak dems in congress, but only Obama....crazy!

[kristopher]

35. I don't think that works.

Congress doesn't have to give him special funds if Obama wants to play hardball. He damned sure had the authority to order 100+ missiles to be launched without a special funding authorization from Congress.

Perhaps you could show precisely how, as commander in chief, he can't transfer troops anywhere he thinks they should be assigned, including all the troops at GITMO.

The problem is he hasn't got the backbone to fight for a principle, not that he can't get funding.

[Powdered Toast Man]

39. Couldn't they... I don't know...

Just not vote to fund Gitmo? Just a thought. I remember when they were pretending to consider not funding the Iraq war, I read they would have to use the money left to withdraw. Wouldn't the same apply?

[Toucano]

16. Right...he's hardly a "typical DUer".

Partisan cheerleaders devoid of integrity need not apply.

[Fuzz]

17. +1 Just because a D does something doesn't make it right.

Personally, I'm not a brainless freeper who just supports the party over everything.

[Very_Boring_Name]

18. Note how his entire argument is based around Jon "bashing" Obama, and then when questioned

he denies that's the reason, and throws in some vague reference to Jon getting his "facts" wrong. When questioned for a single example, he vacates the thread and is never heard from again. Talk about hero worship.

[dennis4868]

27. you obviously did not see my post...

good try though....

[treestar]

22. He's just a comedian

No one takes him seriously. so why is there a post on him here? It should be in the lounge.

[quinnox]

31. Have you thought about applying to be a mod?

Then you could have influence on posts like this one if you think it should be in the lounge.

I have seen many Jon Stewart posts in General Discussion though, I think its because he is a comedian that talks about current political events.

But maybe you should petition to get all Jon Stewart related posts moved into the lounge from now on if it bothers you so.

[JonLP24]

45. Reminds me of Carlson and Jim Cramer

They dismiss Stewart as a comedian without addressing what he said. It is always unintentionally funny when they do it.

19. I doubt Jon's wit would be to your taste anyway

It requires a sense of humor to appreciate Jon Stewart.

[snappyturtle]

10. On Direct TV it repeats at 12:30 AM.....again at 8:30AM, Noon &

6:00 PM tomorrow. It's quite a show--I agree Fuzz.

[treestar]

20. Why should the truth "hurt?"

Why would you want it to?

What a right wing meme, all about sticking it to others rather than doing good for them.

[Fuzz]

25. Because there are those who have vacated their principles because Obama

is the one who is now making the decisions, decisions that were derided when made by Bush Jr. Sure, every situation is different, but there are entirely too many similarities to ignore.

[treestar]

28. There are too many differences being ignored

Still, though you are wrong, I'm not hoping it "hurts."

[Fuzz]

33. War.

He set my feet upon a rock
And made my footsteps firm
Many will see
Many will see and fear


How long to sing this song?

[rhett o rick]

23. I just want the Constitution back and Pres Obama isnt interested. nm

[nashville_brook]

24. Freedom Packages!!

[white_wolf]

26. I don't understand some of the people here.

A lot of posts criticize Obama for being too far to the Right, which he definitely is, yet when people point it out they are thrown under the bus. Nader,Stewart, Kucinich. I don't get it.

[Fuzz]

29. Ayup. He's further to the right than Clinton. And that's saying A LOT!

[FrenchieCat]

40. Yes, when clinton signs DADT into law, Obama has to "Right" that wrong and undo it...

I could go on and on with Telecommmunications law, banking laws, ignoring dying people in Africa and doing nothing cause of the political risks, trade deals, that DOMA shit, etc..., etc....

Yep...Obama will have to "right" a whole lot of Clinton gone-wrong shit till it ain't even funny.

[Motown_Johnny]

30. more false equivalency from Jon Stewart?

I quit watching his show, it was a bad habit.

[DirkGently]

32. Love the disclaimer at the end of Freedom Packages ad. 8)

[lonestarnot]

34. Too sleepy.

[joshcryer]

41. Did he explain that the Libyan people asked for helped from the international community?

Don't have cable.

[ReggieVeggie]

43. is he a journalist?

[Keith Bee]

42. I prefer Colbert

On a news-giving level, Jon is better. But Stephen is funnier, and, since they are comedians.....
