Jon Stewart Does Glenn Beck

By Saturday November 7, 2009

Few people who watch Jon Stewart watch Glenn Beck, so few in the audience even knew he was doing a spot-on parody of Beck and his show. Outrageously great. This ran this past Thursday.

    Stewart’s raised his game lately. He did a subtle takedown of Al Gore in his interview. If he keeps that up, people will call him a climate change denier.
    All he has left is to add in a bit similar to his one on Bush talking about what would happen if we did not invade Iraq. Only this time it is with Obama talking about if the stimulus doesn’t pass. ‘Double digit unemployment and another 5 million jobs lost’.

    Stewart, the liberal mouthpiece who discounts real news by mockery. Sure, everyone who questions the govt is crazy right? Keep your John Stewart, I will keep FOX news, the only semi legit news available.

    #4 – I have to be kidding me right? You do know that Jon Stewart is on Comedy Central and it is not a news program or in any way presented as such (if you are still clueless its comedy).

    If not maybe you should get your head out of your a**.

    Also just for the record Glenn Beck’s show isn’t a news program and also isn’t presented as such. It is an opinion show – no requirement to be based in any facts at all.

    It is remarkable how many people claim they don’t like Beck while watching the show on a regular bases.

    Beck plays the clown but his numbers are solid and enough to scare the pee out of anyone with a working brain.

    That does leave out the so called progressives. Nanny state/ the government runs everything and controls every aspect of your life slave state fans.

    I think it is funny that Obama admires Lincoln who freed the slaves while working hard to make slaves of every American by having the government assume control of every aspect of everybody’s life.

    Slightly intelligent people making fun of less intelligent people. Classic.

    So, it seems you are endorsing the technical style of reasoning of the parody, or am I wrong?

    Here it is for all you folks in Canuckistan. BTW, Don Cherry would kick Glenn Beck’s ass.

    #4 Idoit troll, enough said.

    #6 Those who dislike Beck and others but STILL watches them are vodoo-ed charmed. They have no brains to speak of any longer and thus are no longer consider living. They are in fact a type of zombie breed but a tad dumber. There is no other explanation.

    Stewart’s attempt at lunacy is obviously faked while Beck’s is the real thing.

    Nobody with an ounce of sense takes Beck seriously. Unfortunately, that means a good portion of the population has no sense. I think we already knew that.

    You’re absolutely right! Glenn Beck’s show is not an attempt at lunacy, it’s real lunacy.

    “John Leibowitz, you mean. The guy who is ashamed he is Jewish. Jerk.”
    You mean Jon Stuart Leibowitz.
    He has talked about how his real name isn’t “stewart” more than once and talks about how Jewish he is all the time. I don’t see how he is any more ashamed of being Jewish than any of the other people in the entertainment industry who changed their last name. Is Tom Mapother ashamed of his heritage because he changed his name to Cruise? Is Demetria Guynes ashamed of hers because she goes by Demi Moore? Or Marion Morrison aka John Wayne?

    We are doomed!
    Wingnuts get crazy about a parody of a wingnut.
    It’s comedy! I think he did a great job.
    I don’t get my news from Comedy Central, and nobody should get their news from Beck either. He is an entertainer, he isn’t paid to inform, but to entertain.

    We are doomed!

    ewitzel, No we are saved! Satire and comedy are the best defense against wingnuts! Imagine if there was a Comedy Central or Saturday Night Live or Internet around 1940?
    I think things would have been very different for the next ten years!
    Talk about material!!!!!

    Didn’t you see “Springtime for Hitler?”

    Stewart was brilliant and courageous.
