Stewart missed the funnest point–The rush to judgment due to the fear of being exposed on The Glenn Beck Show LOL.
When even Jon Stewart, a certified loony, is defending Andrew Breitbart says a lot. I guess even Jon is getting tired of paying for the lazy and the incompetent gubmint burea rats.
Stewart is right every now and then, but his dismissal of the Black Panthers via bad joke still pisses me off. He's a liberal shill, make no mistake.
Democrats launch anti tea party ads.

Let's get ready to rumble, and Restore the Republic.
MMMMMMMMmmmmmmmmmm MMMMMMMMMMMMmmmmmm MMMMMMMMMMMMmmmmmmmmmmm
Not totally on target, but here comes PIGFORD II again!

I know, it's all Bush's fault!
Stewart must have had a bad hair day; snippets of honesty don't seem to be his style. My opinion.
good point
Ok, I'm a sick puppy I know and accept that but the whole video, all I could think was did Stewart do a Lewinsky on Frosty the Snowman?
The best part is still coming – the part where we see them admit that Shirley and Charles were founders of radical Black racist organizations, active supporters of Stoakely Carmichael and H. Rap Brown, have been lifelong communists (named their daughter "Russia") and are connected to Obama through Code Pink and Obama's own communist party participation. You want to know why the Administration wanted her gone fast? You want to know why she suddenly wasn't on all the talk shows this past Sunday?
Nobody on JournOlist wants to out Obama as a current communist and she is the source of the bread crumbs that connect him up to her and the communist movement.
Not laughing. I just cant get over all the damage Stewart has done in his support of progressive candidates now ruining our country.
a little help for ya:
http://theothermccain.com/2010/07/26/video-shirle...
don't just play the video, be sure to read the article
This is partially why the story is dead in the msm. She is a racist after all, among other things.
You guys must have a tin ear for irony! Stewart said that Breitbart is "honest" only in the sense of being open about his motivations, i.e. being completely dishonest in trying to take down the left!
It is satire but your racist are not so smart to figure it out. He did not exonerate Klan Leader Breitbart. This whole post is misleading
Libowitz…You are a part of the "Institutionalized Left", AB spoke of, and it seems you're stuck there…forever..
Breitbart has been honest about trying to take down the left, so your comment makes no sense.
Yeah and Brietbart made his point-also Briebart did not have the entire tape-but Ben "I've been snookered" Jealous did.
The Breitbart tape did include Sherrod discussing the white farmer situation as a learning moment-as in a class situation as opposed to a racial issue. Now none of that explains Sherrod's comments in recent press interviews after the fact…and the comments her husband has made in video from VAU video.
Brietbart is about the down fall of the left wing machine-and I support brietbart's agenda wholeheartedly as the Cloward and Piven strategy is bankrupting our country.
touche. Stewart is spot on-lol
I think it is dead because Glenn Beck is getting ready to connect the dots to Liberation Theology, the Ela Baker Center and the progressive movement….we will see if I am correct in the next day or two.
Right wing nut bags want to pretend Steward was on their side knowing very well he was sh!%$ing on Breitbart
Breaking news….AZ judge blocks several portions of the AZ law. Cops can't determine immigration status, law cannot make it a crime to NOT carry immigration papers, and cops can't stop an illegal alien from seeking work….
Should be interesting to see how things will work now….
The Judge followed the constitution. Do you have an issue with the constitution? LEAVE THIS COUNTRY
I like your beliefs and your avi. I agree with you 100%. America was never meant to be a Welfare State, but a Country of Opportunity, who has always taken care of the poor and needy, without enslaving them to Govt checks.
Democrats have taken the poor and needy part to the point of absurdity, abuse and socialism!
When Welfare and Unemployed people are abused, and enslaved by their dependency on the govt. they will see that having Republicans with all of their abilities and charity, are the safest place to be, for them to be prosperous!
"Give a person a fish and they live for a day, give them a fishing pole and they live independently forever!"
Who is "Steward?"
Do you have any idea what a joke you are?
John Stuart, Lindsay Graham, and Jenna on Fox are all socialists imo.
Actually, it is you who doesn't get the "irony!" Stewart was "sh!%$ing," alright, but on Obama and his administration!
The Ultimate Left is responding to this kerfluffle as rationally and thoughtfully as you’d expect!
TRANSLATION: You’re all racists!
The clip was funny. Period. Every once in a while, even a die hard, right wing, extremist, Conservative like me enjoys a good comedy clip.
Ah, libjew–you have such a way with words!
He's a blind squirrel. It was his day to find an acorn.
excellent find-yes it is-this would be Part III
sent it out, thank you.
it's the structure of the tax breaks that tips it off-same as with Pigford I and II
Too bad courthouse record in OK and TX are lacking, as I have no proof of my heritage in this arena-gimme some grants…….
….Oh wait my ideology is directly opposed to unearned hand outs-darned Objectivism-just could never do it. Servitude for bucks-geez-not worth the price of admission.
No one here cares what Stewart is doing and we certainly neither need nor want his approbation. We're only trying to inform you of the facts.
GAACK !!!
You and talkzlot should have a nice conversation about racism. Both of you seem to be well informed about the subject so it would interesting to watch both of you talk about the subject.
Way to go in just four comments you have created such dislike for yourself. Keep up the good work and you may yet get to be the king of the trolls.
*shakes head* John Stewart needs to watch the Sean Hannity interview with Breitbart after Ms. Sherrod was fired… He even said that it was never about Sherrod, but the fact that while she was talking about her racial bias her audience where nodding in agreement and laughing…
"U.S. District Judge Susan Bolton also struck down the section of law that makes it a crime not to carry immigration registration papers and the provision that makes it a crime for an illegal immigrant to seek or perform work."
*http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2010/07/28/federal-judge-rules-arizona-immigration-law-dispute/
"Permanent residents are issued a valid Permanent Resident Card (Form I-551) as proof of their legal status in
the United States. Some people call this a “Green Card.” If you are a permanent resident who is 18 years or
older, you must carry proof of your immigration status." "Welcome to the United States a Guide for New Immigrants", p.9

But we can tear apart your "argument" and how wrong you are late, this thread is about Stewart
.
Jon Stewart is my favorite Stopped Clock on the Left.
.
There is enough said in the recording that the most important point AB was trying to make was in fact the existing racism by the audience is being shoved aside.
AB: Let it out man! Scream it from the rooftops.
And Media Matters is directly honest in its bias against the Right. From their about page:
"Launched in May 2004, Media Matters for America put in place, for the first time, the means to systematically monitor a cross section of print, broadcast, cable, radio, and Internet media outlets for conservative misinformation — news or commentary that is not accurate, reliable, or credible and that forwards the conservative agenda — every day, in real time."
Right from their about page on their own site. So the way I see it, Breitbart is merely a right wing version of Media Matters. Since there appears to be NOTHING wrong with what Media Matters does, clearly there is nothing wrong with Breitbart's agenda.
Folks stop giving these red taggers any attention. They are just posting to kick the hornets nest. Just vote them down and move on. This is just attention seeking.
Stewart is NOT defending Breitbart here. His message is that EVERYONE involved in this story is a liar and a partisan hack, but Breitbart is to be commended for being the only one to admit that he's a partisan hack. That doesn't sound like much of a defense to me.
I'm not a big fan of Liebowitz, but even a broken clock is right twice a day.
Hello Bigot Breitbart and racist followers!
It's been a week since you pulled your despicable Saul Alinsky attack on Sherrod. It's also been a week since I have read any of your trashy sites. You're a PUTZ, Breitbart. A PUTZ.
That is all.
What's funny (and sad) is that most liberals watch this guy for their regular news.
Don't feed this guy. All he wants is attention.
Meh. Probably as many liberals use Stewart for their regular news as conservatives use Beck or Limbaugh for their regular news (probably more since they have larger audiences).
None of these individuals are journalists and they wouldn't claim that status. They all make me laugh, though.
Anyone who gets their news from any one location (especially one of these three people) is a fool. That doesn't take away from the fact that Stewart is an entertaining comedian.
n. b. to goo: "Made ya look!"
Affectionately,
-A.B.
Lib Jew how about you change your name to Mashuga Liberal Moron……more appropriate.
Smagoo dont likey when we play their game right back at them….BOO FREAKING HOO……Payback is a bitch and you are about to be bitchslapped.
I know Joey. I have relatives in Wisconsin who think that he is the main source of news..pathetic. News from a washed up comedian hack. I guess that is the same as listening to the crap spewed by the Journolist group. Bottom feeders
Can you explain to me if this is legal? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YsaoWja2OPs
Since you are so schooled on the Constitution-fill me in, oh libtard one.
It isn't often that I watch Jon Lebowitz, or much less agree with him, but this time, he knocked it out of the park. Breitbart was the only honest one in the equation.
Even the card carrying members of the "Progressive Cartel", must poke fun at the absurdity of the defense of the exposed agenda of the Left race baiting tactic!!! They fire at Breitbart (And Those proud to have him on their side), he ricochets it back at them, he is the most honest!!!! HE'S LIKE A SHIELD!!!!! BREITBART WILL BE THE FIRST ONE TO INFORM YOU, HE WAS ONCE ONE OF THEM, (Hook, line and sinker), his exception was, once he gobbled up the bait, he spit it back out, time after indoctrination class time, he disliked "Astroturf" truth as food for thought))! Now he's pissed at them for trying to shove it down his umbilical cord attached to the shell that contained all known thought!!! Someone cracked his egg shell wide open, now he can't get enough of truth and exposure outside the "Progressive Cartels" containment of thought perceptions/limitations!!! BORN AGAIN!!!
Maj. Gen.Jerry R Curry (Ret.) Speaks Out On The Obama Eligibility Issue
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fO8n4Pij158
so Alinky style attacks are only despicable if done by the right?
Loved the Obama/Trump pic. And Fox News has a beef with the racist thugs in the Black Panther "organization". Well done Jon, well done, thanks for supporting Fox News.
Yup. Guess so.
Insults from the left have their humorous aspects at times.
I don't think Stewart thinks Breitbart is honest. After the Breitbart clip (4:30), Jon says about B-Bart:
"He didn't say, 'I want to be known in the history books as a paragon of honesty.' He didn't say, I'd like to be in the museum of broadcasting and be known by children around the world as Arnold B. Truthington of Accuracy Lane.' No, he said, out loud, 'I want to bring down the institutional left.'"
Apparently you don't understand anything about the word "context."
Jon's saying B-Bart is honest because he is honest about his dishonesty — not a compliment, not something to be proud of. Sure, he mocks PBO and the NAACP, but when he says that Breitbart is perhaps the most honest, it's out of irony — it's a joke. He basically says, specifically, that Breitbart is clear he will twist any fact to take down the Left — making him the most honest and most dishonest person in the story.
But, fine, flatter yourselves — just remember, watch the whole tape!!
Dear Mr. Breitbart:
I was discharged by the State of California Employment Development Department (EDD)—a federally-funded agency—in 2006 after prevailing in a racial discrimination complaint in front of the California State Personnel Board (SPB) in 2005 (SPB Case No. 03-1420A). My complaint challenged foreign language requirements (Spanish and Tagalog) imposed on a set of position conversions from part-time to full-time. According to both year 2000 census data and Department call center records, the Spanish requirement, for instance, excluded 94 percent of African-Americans and 82 percent of Caucasians between the ages of 18-64 residing in California. The Tagalog requirement excluded 99.9 percent of every race between the ages of 18-64 residing in California. When obliged to produce a stringent business need for these foreign language requirements, the federally funded EDD was unable to do so.
A simple check of the EDD’s hiring practices will reveal that it has been imposing similar foreign language requirements on a vast array of positions over a period of decades. This practice has adversely affected tens of thousands of African American and Caucasian applicants across the entire state and possibly nationwide. In essence, this amounts to racial discrimination on a mass scale. The discriminatory foreign language requirements would even exclude President Obama from hiring consideration. The SPB strongly rebuked the EDD in my case. Despite that, the EDD has literally “thumbed its nose” at the SPB and continues to this day to impose foreign language requirements without a stringent business need. At my hearing in front of the SPB in Los Angeles, one of the Board members expressed great concern about the potential of the unsupported foreign language requirements to bring about a class action lawsuit. Given the scope of the problem, combined with the refusal of the federal administration or State to correct the situation, class action remains a very real possibility even today.
Approximately 19 months after my successful racial discrimination complaint, the federally-funded EDD fired me, citing alleged irregularities on my employment application that I signed under penalty of perjury roughly ten years ago. The case is now being litigated in civil court. I believe the evidence will ultimately demonstrate retaliation by the State in reaction to my exposure of their racial discrimination on a mass scale.
Interestingly, the person who fired me was Unemployment Insurance Deputy Director Deborah Bronow. Considering that my former position, Employment Program Representative, is an entry-level step into the Department, it is highly unusual for an official in the highest echelon of an organization with roughly 10,000 employees to execute such a termination. Yet, this is exactly what she testified to doing. Moreover, she testified that she did not conduct a thorough investigation of my prior employment. In addition, she neither interviewed me about the allegations nor did she check with the parties who vetted me at the point of hire. Considering Ms. Bronow’s prestigious position in the Department, my case has statewide, if not federal, implications.
During this process I contacted the NAACP, both at the national level and in Los Angeles, in order to share with them what I knew about federally funded EDD’s program of racial discrimination. Given the magnitude of the disparate impact against Caucasians and especially against African Americans, I thought the NAACP would enthusiastically welcome the evidence I possess. Both regionally and nationally, this organization refused to contact me to obtain my corroborated and authenticated evidence. I also contacted the offices of Rev. Jessie Jackson and Louis Farrakhan, but to no avail. The racial discrimination against African Americans and Caucasians in California still goes unabated on a mass scale today. The Service Employees International Union, the organization representing State of California government employees, was notified as well, but took no action either.
I was emboldened to write this letter to you in the wake of the controversy that recently arose in reference to USDA employee Shirley Sherrod. My experience supports your position that the NAACP, and other like organizations, condone racist behavior and turn a “blind eye” toward public policies and practices that promote racial discrimination in the workplace. Instead of expressing outrage, the NAACP chose to do nothing when confronted with facts that showed that 94% of African Americans were being excluded from employment consideration due to unsubstantiated foreign language requirements.
I have paid a high price for opposing illegal racial discrimination within a federally-funded state agency and it is my hope that you will find my story compelling.
Thank you for your time and I look forward to hearing from you.
Sincerely,
Gary Whaley
The Breitbart tape did include Sherrod discussing the white farmer situation as a learning moment-as in a class situation as opposed to a racial issue. Now none of that explains Sherrod's comments in recent David Lichtenstein press interviews after the fact…and the comments her husband has made in video from VAU video.
Brietbart is about the down fall of the left wing machine-and I support brietbart's agenda wholeheartedly as the Cloward and Piven strategy is bankrupting our country.
touche. Stewart is spot on-lol
