Substitue Beck for Stewart and you’ve got the converse view nailed.[/quote]
I don’t entirely disagree with that. I’d only ad a couple of things. Beck challenges you to check the facts for yourself, not to believe him blindly. And he is not altogether a comedian per se. But, yeah when a political joke is told against the party that you’re against you will always find that funny. Nothing radical about that idea. Just keep in mind that unless you check the facts for yourself you shouldn’t swallow the speakers conclusion hook line and sinker. Yet we always want to do just that when it is against something that we’re against.
Honestly, the majority of these political threads are absolutely useless. The only ones that are worth anything are the ones where each poster can pontificate as to why they believe what they believe. The rest are pointless as each poster rushes to defend his way of thinking.
I don’t like Stewart because he’s a schill for the democratic party. But what I really don’t like is that millions of 20 something’s actually believe that they’re getting news from this clown. If he were pro republican it wouldn’t nearly bother me as much.

Well said. So do you view Colbert in the same light? Just curious

Colbert is just about 2 1/2 inches right of Stewart, so yes.
