The Left cares not for values, even the ones they tout. Only expediency matters to them. For example, remember the call last February for a "New Civility" in politics? Did they really mean it? How long did it last?
Why is there such a double standard in the media? After all, a “comedian” like Jon Stewart can use a racial “Amos & Andy” voice to mock Herman Cain, while Glenn would be hounded for even hinting at the same kind of thing. 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?
All of you who saw that Jon Stewart clip only saw it because it played on Fox News as a weak attempt at a gotcha moment by Chris Wallace. The clip cuts off before Stewart's explanation that shuts Wallace down.
If you actually watched Jon Stewart's show, you would know full well the guy does many, many impersonations of various individuals of different ethnicities for comedic value, including Obama (so the narrator in the clip is wrong). The fact that you think there's some link between Cain's race and no being able to read suggests more racism on your part than anything Stewart said or believes.
Seriously. Stop getting your news from one source. There's no racism there. Anybody who knows Jon Stewart in context knows that.
