He's mocking someone? This is news to me.

Yes the point of the million hipster march is to mock Glenn Beck's restoring honor rally. If you have not noticed the events have fairly similar artwork, name, and location.

Of course Stewart wouldn't have held this rally to mock liberals. He only picks on Republicans. Haven't you guys heard?

I mean, "I disagree with you, but I'm pretty sure you're not Hitler" is solely directed at conservatives.

Jon Stewart's problem, as eloquently explained by Larry Wilmore last night, is he doesn't have any white, Christian , Americans on his show.

As for the Gutfeld show, it sucks. If it were any good it would have a higher following beyond the ultra right wing Fox viewers. Its buried at 3 am for a reason, even the infomercials won't pay more at that time.

really, you use CNN as a bench mark. More people watch PBS than CNN these days.

I seem to remember another poster besides Nick Van Excel frequently calling Jon Stewart "Steward." In fact, I'm pretty sure it was JohnWilkes. Hmmm....

The best thing TDS does is point out the hypocrisy of media, politicians, and anybody else surrounding this masturbation of the self righteous we call politics. I see two main reactions from people when TDS points it's hypocrisy spotlight onto somebody "on their side".

A) Butthurt! This isn't funny anymore! Bias! Bias! Bias! Leibowitz!
B) God, these politards are stupid. The only thing worse then the guys on my team are the guys on the other one.

The people in reaction group A need to take themselves a little less seriously.

You are missing the point just like everything else you miss the point on.

Becks rally is a symptom. Jons rally is directed at the cause.

I think we should give serious thought to placing some bets on the size of this thing.

I wonder if intrade has action on it.

You know who's a self-serving, disingenuous political hack? The Onion.

This has to be good for ratings, Colbert is getting Congressional attention.

Fwiw if you read the link to the full story him being chosen isnt all that weird.

http://dailycaller.com/2010/09/22/th...mittee-friday/

Also i would bet he does not appear in character and the Rep who said that was at best misinformed.

I think that everybody that makes people think its good for politics, I dont agree with Ron Paul ideas but I do believe he has a very positive impact on America.
