“I hate Barack Obama more than I love Jesus.” – Jon Stewart on religious conservative bigotry over Mitt’s Mormonism
What a target rich environment.
In the first video below, Stewart uses Schweitzer, O’Donnell and Bashir for target practice, after they make fools of themselves over Romney’s religious preference. “Speaking as a Jew,” Stewart’s religious take down is perfection.
The second video’s subject is Richard Grenell, which has been a disaster for Mitt Romney.
So, as long as we’re talking about the media, let’s also look at the horrific news CNN got this week. They can’t even beat HLN. Buzzfeed offers some advice that’s not bad, starting with their prefab taped segments, but also that Piers Morgan is great on celebrity dish, but the worst on cable when it comes to political analysis.
There’s a reason Fox News Channel leads the pack and that’s because the competition, minus Rachel Maddow, is very weak.
Enjoy the videos, it’s two of Stewart’s best in a long time.
Hi Whitepaw, always like reading your posts. I agree with everything you said about the hosts you were talking about.
Thanks! I enjoy your posts as well..
I think it would be nice if they went back to hiring real journalists, and then letting them do their jobs. The CNN people I see on clips on Jon Stewart, or wherever, seem to be folks who have the intellectual curiosity of houseplants.
Of course, that criticism could apply pretty well to the other networks, too.
Well, Lilia Luciano is now available….oh, that’s right, that’s a news event we’re not going to mention here.
Haha — clever Casual Hal!
Maybe they could find that pathetic, dickless weasal James O’Keefe?
Agree Cujo!
“Just about every religion has wacky beliefs of one sort or another.”
NO! REALLY?!!!!
I do firmly believe that Mitt Romney should, as a prerequisite to running for president, be forced to have sex with a black woman so we can see if he does indeed die on the spot. The last time I had sex with a good looking black woman I almost died; but it was for another reason.
Agreed, AND it almost made me a believer cause there was that time I shouted OH JEEBUS!
No, Stewart is secretly in league with the UBERChristian repugnantklaners….he gibbers in tongues as soon as the cameras stop.
I have to say the statement “I hate Barack Obama more than I love Jesus” is a perfect statement on the bankruptcy of the evangelical/political movement in America today.
Ga6thDem – BINGO!
And as it stands right now, even though I didn’t vote for President Obama in 2008, I plan to vote for him in 2012.
Why? Well it certainly isn’t for his record, which is about what I expected.
No, I am voting for him this time as a strike against the despicable right, because of the Republicans in Congress who by their actions stated, “I hate Barack Obama more than I love the USA.”
The obstructionist Republican congress was willing to force America to fail, so that Barack Obama would fail. That is something I will never forget.
With you ladywalker.
As Cujo says, “I think it would be nice if they went back to hiring real journalists. …”
That would be great, and I’m in total agreement. Unfortunately, I think it’s about as likely as having real choices beyond two parties trading who gets to be top dog for a while.
