Plagiarism? I can't even come up with a word that's similar to plagiarism that would have made sense in that statement.

Some people here are using the excuse that Stuart is a comedian. Well, is he a comedian? He is best known for delivering the news on his TV show. To most of the people who watch it, it is real news but just delivered in a funny way. I imagine a lot of people watch it as their only source of news. There was a news story many years ago which mentioned that 30-some percent of people received the majority of their news from late night talk shows like Leno, Letterman, and the like. That was scary. I doubt the numbers have changed much sense then. If Stuart is delivering news then he should be held to the same standard as anyone else delivering news. Would the left allow O’Reilly to do the same thing if he just added a few jokes during his opening monolog? I doubt it.

Why does every black men/women run for office, they have to pull out this race card? Can't they just stand up and let the world know he/she doesn't see black, white, yellow or green. He only see men/women with integrity and those without?

And NOOOOOOOO, Cain is not a conservative. If a Federal reverses bank president can call himself conservative, I think Bush should come out to rebutted that he is a big spender. Bush saved a lot more money than Obama in term of spending less.

Just a shot in the dark here, but I'm guessing that John Stewart would say it in such a way that it was funny and ironic. Beck would just say it in a way that was rude and condescending.

Every single one? Not any black man or woman who has ever run for office ever in the history of the world hasn't played the race card? Seriously? Have some proof of that sunshine?

And despite the fact that thousands of kids think of him as the only fair name in media, he can hide behind the “comedian” excuse.
“If I am president, treaties will have to fit on the back of a cereal box. From now on the state of the union address will be delivered in the form of a fortune cookie. I am Herman Cain, and I do not like to read,” Stewart said in his best ‘black voice’.


“Al Sharpton would be in the studio right now demanding that we shut down the transmitter of every station,” Pat said of his comments.
Why can Jon Stewart get away with it?

Jon Stewart just absolutely raped the premise of this thread and the Fox News propaganda that spawned it.
