You know I agree with a lot of what Jon Stewart and co. at the daily show have to say, and I enjoy the show for the most part when I watch it. But I have a problem or two with this compilation @ 3:30-4:10 on this clip here, an expert from a show earlier last week where Stewart announced a "Rally to Restore Sanity":
So, first, @ 3:33-36 we see CNN Political Correspondent James Carville stating that: "The republican party has gone completely brain dead." I mean, how does that stack up to the other clips in that line up? How is that remotely comparable to a lady with a banner crashing a speech by an incumbent president? And look at the republican party for chrissake. The moderate republicans have completely failed to uphold a legitimate opposition from the right side of the political spectrum. The republican party has been completely highjacked by these ignorant morons in the bigoted and fascist tea party league, no moderate republicans did anything to stop it, and is it a surprise these teabagger extremists are now purging those same moderates from the party? 98% of them believe that President Obama has raised their taxes when Obama has actually lowered them thus far. But I digress. 3:33-36 wasn't my only problem with that line up.
Next we see @ 3:43-45 MSNBC's Chris Matthews go on to say "Those crazed teabaggers..." which is followed by a teabagger "activist" screaming "WE WANT OUR COUNTRY BACK!!!" You can't have it both ways. Either Chris Matthews is on the same page as the daily show or Obama is a kenyan muslim socialist hell bent on destroying the American economy to create enough political turmoil so as to serve as a fertile breading ground for the installation of President Obama as a dictator.
Finally, @ 3:55-57 in the clip, we see a local New Orleanier holler out "Go fuck yourself Mr. Cheney" to then US Vice President Dick Cheney. But there was no context to this. To apply context to this, view this clip here shot by the local 5 years ago when this incident occurred:
