Fantastic. Even John Fucking Stewart thinks libs have been saying ALL Trump voters are racist. The whole world has gone full retard.

I'm pretty sure he wasn't. I believe Colbert joked about it but it was an obvious joke.

Not the whole world, but last count as of my posting this about 61,489,550 people in this country have.

well they may not all be racists, in fact I'd bet not all are, however, they all are ok with someone being racist and holding the highest office in the land. That's the biggest rub in my opinion.

actually he's gotten better post election. TDS wasn't all that good until dubya 1.0 election happened, and then they took off. They had year+ of mediocrity before then.

no, he hasnt. I've watched just about every TN TDS there is, and still watch daily, and watched years of JS TDS. TN whines. He's a big whiner. JS was critical and funny. TN is a whiner, and is rarely funny.

ok, well don't watch it. I disagree with you, but that's cool. No pyjama parties while watching TDS at my house then. Poop on you.

Oh, you're one of those social construct people. So tell us, why are the majority of athletes in the NFL and NBA black? Give me a break. There are inherent genetic chemical differences in us that are DNA-based, not environment. Hundreds of studies have confirmed this but I'm guessing you are one of those who think everyone is equal at math (studies show males especially Asian and white vs other races and females pick it up easier after puberty) and everyone is physically the same (AA's have been scientifically shown to have higher Test levels and different bone structure which give them an elite physical advantage). I happen to think these differences are what makes America awesome but fear of others unlike our own is inherent in us on a subconscious level (also proven by science). Which is partly why diversity and social cohesion have an inverse relationship and people voluntarily self-segregate. That's why I respect JS bucking the libtard trend of saying everyone is equal and America is so great right now! It's not and racial tensions are not very good right now.

If you read my post again, and then yours, you'll realize you were trying - poorly- to discuss something else, but didn't rebut anything I said. Well you probably won't.

What credibility does Stewart have discussing politics? Why is he being interviewed in this context?

He is a comic. He has repeatedly propagated lies during his former late night show and the excuse he typically used was "I am a comic, making jokes". When he takes off his clown nose and acts serious, but repeats the same lies, why do we lend them credibility by giving him a forum to speak in this context?

Evidence of Jon Stewart's new show being full of lies, and quotes from Stewart admitting no journalistic standards and comedy overriding truth.
Fact checking Jon Stewart, result is all lies

clearly none with you, so, well, I guess don't give him any credence or trust him. welcome to the forum. very interesting first post btw.

 

[cbrunny]

ok, well don't watch it. I disagree with you, but that's cool. No pyjama parties while watching TDS at my house then. Poop on you.

lol I'll still watch. Don't get me wrong, its still a good show. TN has flashes of greatness but they're routinely trumped by his own whinyness. He can be funny. He can be entertaining. I still watch every day.

But no, I don't want to have a pj party with you. But I do watch it in my underwear. Every day.

Maybe, and just maybe, what he is talking about is closer to reality than what people want to believe?

No. Someone says "you supported a racist" and everyone hears "you are a racist." The two statements aren't the same. Libs have been saying the first, a lot. Conservatives don't hear it, they hear the second because their brains are defective.

Yes please.

worst case scenario: Jon Stewart has equally as much credibility discussing politics as your dumb uncle/friend/brother/spouse/etc that posts facebook rants about whatever bs they want. He is an American.

But he is also one that has made a career of being politically engaged. Your dumb uncle squeegees out the car wash down at the old Try N' Save.

Your second link doesn't say what you claim it does, and your first link is an opinion piece by a butthurt conservative.

 

[jeff_in_MD]

While I think JS a smart guy, Trump has said multiple times what made America great in his speeches like jobs with decent wages and low crime/terrorism. When two people didn't have to work to own a house and he's right.

Please correct me if I'm wrong but doesn't all candidates say that? The issue is how to go back to those times.

 

[realibrad]

So, are Bill Mahe and JS conservative then? They are hearing what a lot of others have been saying. Maybe, what you have been saying are not what a lot of others have been saying. Maybe the Left has become trigger happy with labels that are generally accepted to be insulting.

How many news articles came out saying it was racism, not economic beliefs that were driving Trump voters?

No they aren't conservative. They are hearing things wrong just like everyone else is hearing things wrong.

Again, people say that "Trump won because of support from racists" and people hear "Everyone that supports Trump is racist." Once again, not the same statement.

 

[dank69]

You can dig up bipartisan sources staking the same claim if you would like to. Your first point about one of my links is correct, however.

Do you actually know Kyle Smith, the Yale educated author of the New York Post article?

You'll allow me to research and support your claims for you? Thanks. No, I don't know Smith. What is your point? That he isn't conservative?

 

[Sheik Yerbouti]

The problem is that Jon Stewart in the context of this interview, is given credibility. Your dumb uncle/brother/wife does not have credibility when she posts a facebook status. Celebrity should not equal credibility. Fortunately we know from the election results that celebrity may mean very little, as Clinton's star-studded performances evidence.

Stewart, like Oliver, have made careers off of misinforming millennials with politically slanted comedy that is far from factually true and escapes the typical standards of journalistic integrity because it is comedy. This is a dangerous mix because this comedy overtly parades as news.

I find it interesting, amusing, and irrelevant in this kind of discourse that you malign your post with personal attacks about this car-washing, dumb uncle you envision. Clearly you are close-minded and not trying to appeal to me or change my mind about this issue.

feel free to dispute any point he made in that interview.

Jon Stewart was voted most trustworthy news personality per your own link.

Ah, gotcha. So when you read this headline, you see it as only a few are racist.

Racism, Not Economic Anxiety, Drives Trump Voters

See, I read that very differently. To me, that headline means that Trump voters are mainly driven by racism.

What about this article, that sure looks to say that its racial issues that drive Trump voters?

Well you're right about that. I don't give a flying fuck what you think. lol

It's good to hear he's optimistic and his comments about it being difficult for people to join in a melting pot are correct, but it's necessary. The difficulties some have with people who are aesthetically different or have a different culture is a social construct as much as race is and people crazy enough to believe there are fundamental differences between humans based on appearance. It's like believing a black cat is fundamentally different from an orange one. It's one animal: human, and like most animals they don't all look the same.

While i get what you are getting at with your analogy i think it falls apart because unlike humans, cats all act the same. Only varying in color really. But they all lay around all lazy like and lick themselves etc. They don't have different religions or cultures that define them.

 

[zinfamous]

I stopped watching his replacement. The magic is gone....

John Oliver does a pretty good job keeping the flame alive

yeah, pretty much. I just don't understand the Noah guy.

Jon Oliver is good, but he can be very ...stretchy with some of his pieces.
