Stewart would be grimacing today knowing Trump still leads in the polls.
Ridiculous assumption. This statement shows a deep misunderstanding with some in todays voting block.
Also , I don't see why anyone would care about a grimace from some one with no political experience, no leadership experience, no legal experience, no consulting experience, etc.

Another indicator of the problem I wrote about. A snarky joke, that is factually incorrect. Yet there this poster stands , tall on his pile of bs.

If you read anything other than his show, you might question that.

Jesus Christ , how many times is this childish bit going to be typed in this thread?
I like Jon Stewart, I'm a fan. I'm not an idiot that is going to support captain kangaroos political campaign based on what I saw on his show. Unreal.

"My liar is better than your's he reaffirms my views."

"My liar is funny so its okay"

"Its okay he lies, he is just a comedian man, speaking truth to politics."
So basically your liars say what you want to hear and Stewart didn't therefore Stewart must be lying. By the way, they don't lie to those who go on the show to be interviewed. Of course you would know that if you paid any attention to the show beyond getting upset when they make fun of your views.

Why are you lying to defend your liar? Don't be such a weak person.

Click my links, Stewart's show DID LIE to several people they interviewed. Why are you lying about it?

I can admit that Fox News has people that lie, MSNBC lies, and so does John Stewart. Have some integrity.

At least educate yourself a bit.

I still understand Stewart was entertainment. I was always entertained when watching his show, is that a concept that is foreign to you?

Dodger.

Of course he is entertaining, he has a show on "Comedy" Central.

The point is he lies. A lot. Much of his shtick is going after FoxNews for lying, sometimes with lies of his own.

He is, does give political commentary that people do put some stock in and he does this with BS too often. Some of his fans would even vote for him for president as evidenced by this thread.


He can make political commentary and then when it is proven to be distorted his fans can deny or say "he is just a comedian, man." Which is very advantageous for his dishonesty.

Jon Stewart + laughs = FoxNews
