1. very good video and spot on

[slipslidingaway]

2. rec- still zero??? n/t

[bvar22]

3. It takes about 8 - 10 minutes to watch the videos,

and I generally don't watch videos posted to DU,
especially those hosted on another site,
and I NEVER post them here,
but I saw them Thursday Night,
and felt that every DUer should have the opportunity to watch them,
even those who don't like Jon Stewart.

These were some of his BEST work.

[slipslidingaway]

5. Yes they were excellent, watched them last night, and I agree that...

they need to be seen by more people.

:hi:

[Loge23]

4. Class "warfare"

We should be so inspired.
The shitbags on the Faux News clips presumably would be on the front lines?

[Kaleko]

6. recommended and bookmarked.

Thank you.

[Ragrum]

7. Not much better an example of Class Warfare ...say it enough

The rich have the mouthpiece to say they are under attack enough to make the public believe it. Though riding along that same track will lead them to the cold end of hungry eyes.

[sabrina 1]

8. Everyone in America, especially those who are indoctrinated

by Faux rightwing shills for the wealthy, needs to see this.

He really is brilliant!

Thank you for posting, it is a classic! Has to be watched all the way to the end of both videos.

[Ruby the Liberal]

9. This is the day and age of 24/7/365 cable. The day and age of the internet.

I heard an analogy once that where the depression of the 1930s was characterized by soup lines, the depression of 2009+ will be characterized by the faint blue glow emitting from the tv set through the sibgle window above the garage where families have moved in with the grandparents just to keep a roof over their heads.

Given these clips and choice remarks about the "poor", tell me - how is it that these asswipes are still walking around free and not running for their lives to get to their privately secured mansions via their bullet proof limos? What is it going to take for people to finally get up in arms about this happy horseshit?

The "productive class" vs the "moochers"? Who WAS that bald motherfucker with the cadence of a band leader with 2 club feet?

:grr:

[Initech]

10. Jon Stewart completely DESTROYED the uber-elite in that segment.

He owned the CATO Institute, Cavuto, you name it. Well worth watching.

[Psycholitics]

11. Tired of Stewart

Political comedy is wonderful, but I take the issues too seriously to stomach the drones who substitute satire for debate.

[lob1]

13. What debate? If it wasn't for Stewart, most likely you won't

hear about it at all. Except for a couple of shows on MSNBC, there is no debate.

[Enthusiast]

30. There is no debate

but on nearly every hour of corporate media we hear this same Fox News sort of misinformation against the working class.

This poster is from the other side otherwise they would realize our side has no voice outside of Stewart and a scarce few.

[bvar22]

16. Just curious, but did you watch the two segments...

...before presenting your opinion here?

[femrap]

40. Why does jon

always have to say something sexist 'banging the broads' and then say 'queer?' Why? Certainly his writers could come up with another analogy. I imagine the writers don't even 'think' what they say has an effect on people.

But otherwise, it was a great rant. I really have to give credit to those who watch Faux....I would :puke: Of course most MSM news and 'entertainment' is :puke: worthy these days.

Considering that women will suffer the most if/when SS is cut, he should have at least shown a woman who is poor instead of a man in that last photo.

[Quantess]

44. I laughed at that one.

Jon Stewart can be astonishingly low-brow at times, but at least he knows it, compared to Bill Maher, who doesn't even realize when he's being low-brow and junior-high.

[femrap]

50. No...

I think jon is a true oinker. Many feminists agree w/ me. I don't watch Maher...even if I did have expensive cable, I wouldn't watch him. They're both pretty enamored with their macho-dude shtick. Plus Maher hurts my eyes.

[RadiationTherapy]

62. He was mocking the analogy as well as the type of sexist goofball who talks like that.

It doesn't mean he isn't sexist, but I think he was mocking the lowbrows, not being one.

[femrap]

64. wow....that's a real stretch.

jon is well-known for his sexist comments. But your apology for him gave me a chuckle. I guess I should be relieved he used the word 'broads' and not the 'c' word.

He has little respect for women....look at the number of women writers he has on staff.

But as long as you want to excuse his behavior, you will continue to being a denialist....a new word just added to the Oxford Dictionary.

[RadiationTherapy]

66. You are misunderstanding me.

I am not excusing sexist behavior, I am comprehending that he was playing a role - like Archie Bunker. But, again, I remind you that I am not familiar with his personal shortcomings.

I never "apologized" for him. That is a projection on your part.

[femrap]

67. No, I understood you....

you think he was playing a 'role.' And I don't think so...he's an oinker. As are many of his cohorts on the show.

He certainly does encourage these 'willful ignorant oinkers' in their sexist behavior and attitudes. Believe me, viewers do NOT see his comments about women as a 'role.' They enjoy his humiliation of women...oops, I mean 'broads.'

Everyone made fun of Archie Bunker and knew he was a bigoted pig. jon, on the other hand, is NOT playing a 'role' like Stephen Colbert.

Stephen, I enjoy him. More of an intelligent wit and doesn't revert to degradation of women to make a political point.

jon is jon. He is not an actor playing a role. Maybe you just haven't watched his show enough...or you're watching with blinders? Or you simply don't want to believe he oinks.

[RadiationTherapy]

68. I have not ever watched his show, only clips.

People rarely know when they are wearing blinders, but the biases are there after all.

[femrap]

69. If you haven't watched his

show, you have no idea what a oinking little pig he is. I quit watching it.

[AlbertCat]

45. but did you watch the two segments...

Probably had his head in his refrigerator looking for a bite to eat...

[Hosnon]

19. Anyone who watches those and doesn't respect Stewart for making them is either (1)

Part of the 1% or (2) an economic self-masochist and a moran.

Hope you're in (1).

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

23. Ah, I get it. Jon Stewart bad, Fox news good.

[Vinnie From Indy]

24. IS that you HB Gary?

fuggetaboutit

[Skittles]

25. well, we are tired of you teabagger repukes

[Enthusiast]

26. Enjoy your stay.

You ain't long for DU.

[BootinUp]

31. Thats a crock o shit

come on! whats the real reason Stewart gets under your skin? Get it off your chest.

[ljm2002]

59. He did great...

...and your opinion is, er, noted.

Since you take it so seriously, perhaps, rather than denigrate Mr. Stewart, you would care to enlighten with your own perspective on the matter?

[lob1]

12. K&R.

[ohheckyeah]

14. Raising the marginal tax rate

on the top two percent would raise $700 Billion which according to Republicans is a drop in the bucket and wouldn't fix anything. Taking half of everything earned by the bottom 50% would raise $700 Billion but that would fix things.

Seriously? And how many people will fall for it?

[awoke_in_2003]

15. 99.7% own a refrigerator...

You food chilling motherfuckers- yeah, it is funny, but not far from how some americans think. K&R

[AlbertCat]

46. 99.7% own a refrigerator...

Just made me wonder how many rich people own more than one refrigerator.

[awoke_in_2003]

56. and how they actually have...

a decent amount of food to put in it.

[FlaGranny]

58. A wealthy woman I knew

once in Palm Beach (we washed he windows) had a pantry that was about 10 x 30 feet. In it she had several huge refrigerators of the kind you would see in restaurants. Had to keep enough food on hand to entertain her friends and for their personal chef to cook anything they wanted at a moment's notice.

[Quantess]

60. LOL, who cares, it's just a refrigerator!

I'm sure they have at least one in each of their houses.

[redixdoragon]

52. Now I have to wonder if they mean by "owned"

That there WAS a refrigerator in their household. I fit in the poor bracket, and I HAVE a refridgerator in the apartment I'm in, but it's owned by the people running the apartment, not me. I'm just lucky to have one in here.

[awoke_in_2003]

57. yep...

that someone would find offense at this is appalling- this country has some real winners in it. Welcome to DU.

[Hosnon]

17. I am bookmarking this so I can watch it every morning. Simply put, the rich are indignant

that the rest of us would even dare point out that they have been slaughtering us in the class war for centuries.

[Zax2me]

18. That was worth it - thanks! n/a

[mod mom]

20. "Those food chilling MFers"

:rofl:

Does the right have any idea how despicable they are?

[Gregorian]

21. That's our barf bag media. The most retched group of people on planet earth.

I really cannot believe what I just saw. I stopped watching the Daily Show after their lame ass gathering in Washington. And I've never watched commercial tv. So I only get my Fox bullshit from people on this forum, or Daily Show clips. Man, what a bunch of social backwash these idiots are.

We don't change a thing in America until we get the FCC back to doing it's job. And then getting the media conglomerates to break up.

[Enthusiast]

27. From one parasite to another, I agree.

:hippie:

[Scurrilous]

22. K & R

:thumbsup:

[Enthusiast]

28. K&R! Yay!

Wow.

[Enthusiast]

29. Ann Coulter, what a specimen. nt

32. +99.6 !!!

Damn you poors!!! :grr:

[southmost]

33. so the rich are given the public airwaves to express their hatred

of the poor,

they will not be happy until we live in sub-third world standards of living

they are nearly begging to be hunted down, yet their hatespeech of the majority of the working class goes undisputed

[Hydra]

35. "There are two types of Republicans...

...Billionaires and suckers."

There are a lot of suckers that are eating this crap up, letting the 1% call themselves "The well to do," "The Job Creators" and "The Makers."

The worst part is that if we take the Nazi model, these monsters only need 25% of the country on their side to keep this insanity going. Bush had no trouble keeping a core of 25%...

:scared:

[southmost]

36. yeah, that must be the givers and takers

that they're referring to, the givers of b.s. (the megarich and their megaphone M$M) and the takers of b.s. (the teaparty and the rest of republican voters)

[Hydra]

34. I didn't get to watch this last night

But now that I did, something interesting jumped out at me.

"51% pay no taxes whatsoever"

Not only is that a baldfaced lie, they fact that they put that number out there as a goal tells me something scary.

That's the very lowest number of us that they are trying to starve to death.

:scared:

[Quantess]

55. 51%

pay no taxes whatsoever...? What a stinkin' lie. Thanks for catching that.

[mnhtnbb]

37. Brilliant. The guy's brilliant.

[BootinUp]

38. that was my reaction too. nt

[obxhead]

39. k/r

[TatonkaJames]

41. Funny that we're borrowing from a Socialist Country

yet it's a bad thing and we don't want to be associated with it according to Rubio and the ilk.

[Swampguana]

42. Amazing video

[Jim_Shorts]

43. Sad when you can only get the truth in comedy

Stewarts star lost a little of its luster for me after the Rachel Maddow interview. Stewart thinks the biggest problem with the country is the ying/yang between MSNBC and Fox news and not that the country is drifting right but I will take the truth wherever I can find it.

[steve2470]

47. great videos thanks ! nt

[Populist_Prole]

48. Awesome skewering of the RW

I rarely ever watch TV news, and never fox news and so those fox clips really were nothing short of flabbergasting in their deliberately inflammatory RW spin. I just couldn't believe it. No wonder RW-ers are so fucked up.

[sfpcjock]

49. Trenchant and incisive, as usual, Jon

:beer: beer!

[gtar100]

51. That was funny; so why am I left seething in anger.

All those clips of those media figures he showed are truly despicable people.

[Populist_Prole]

53. Exactly how I feel

I just can't imagine what a constant barrage of that stuff would do to any sane person. The message is so toxic that even some righties have to scratch their heads at how inflammatory and partisan it is. Are the righties that much of team players they'd tolerate such disgusting commentary?

[Curmudgeoness]

54. Yes, a must see. Thanks for posting it. He nailed it. nt

[Pharaoh]

61. kicking for later.

[Quantess]

65. Watch it when you get a chance.

:thumbsup:

[lovuian]

63. He is so RIGHT !!! the BS coming out of the BOOB tube

makes me sick Stewart is the one guy who is SANE
