Jon Stewart apparently realizes that the self-delusion gripping the left is not only unhealthy but dangerous to the future of this Republic.

We need more, more and MORE pushback like Stewart’s and this, by Roger Waters of Pink Floyd fame:

Eric Clapton is also among the few refusing to kneel before the throne of Big Tech, Big Media, and Big Government censorship – and daring to speak out publicly. Johnny Rotten of Sex Pistols fame has been another one. Comic Bill Maher, who never misses a chance to disparage conservatives, is dishing it out to the other side now and then. Is this proof the insanity’s gone too far? Could there be hope after all? It seems to require celebrity of iconic stature to stare down the threat of cancel culture.
John Stewart always stroke me as an old-school ‘New-Deal’ type liberal who had a nuanced view of the world. Ironically, when Dubya was in office Stewart was always there to criticize and poke fun at him and the Republicans so he was pretty much their enemy no.1 in the media, but this time around it is the batshit crazy progressives that are foaming on their mouths for seeing him apply the same stuff he used to unleash against the Republicans. The Colbert’s interview actually sums up the insanity of the progressives nicely.
My hats off to John Stewart for standing up to non-sense when he sees it.
He wasn’t necessarily constantly funny the progressive way. … From my rather limited perspective.
********
Meaning: Not sure, if this is a sign of intellectual, or humor, integrity. Versus carefully calculated with a view on perception quotas. But yes, foreign fencesitter. Thus what do I know?
Rich pompous prick tells the lefties what we all knew 18 months ago? I can’t wait for him to donate an hour’s wages too help a (one, singular) struggling small business and then try and shame us all with his virtue.
Did you catch the part from Colbert where he was bragging about not having to live under DeBlasio’s rules in NYC all this time? Screw these people and their corporate sponsors.
Even Bill Maher makes bank being a “contrarian” – no ideology, just say the opposite of whatever is the current “establishment”. I don’t trust any of them – no change of heart – just change of their own pocket book interests.
Stewart serves the same function as Obama where he acts as an in group signal to let the NPCs in this country know the current programming.
There’s no heads exploding. No one is surprised. The Right Wing Bodybuilder crowd was calling this 18 months ago when TPB were unpersonning anyone talking about a lab escape or Vitamin D.
On a bright note about liberal heads, Biden surrenders the stage to Putin at the G7. Just how demented is he to have to give up like that?
After four years of Russia, Russia, Russia is our mortal enemy and has compromised the former US President to our great national peril, don’t you think it is wonderful Biden brought a thaw to those very same hostilities he and his party spent the last four years trying to foment? ( /s)
Biden will cure cancer now. I just know it.
Krystal & Saager were on Joe Rogan yesterday and the three of them watched the clip together – quite approvingly.
Not everyone on the left is an idiot or a sellout. These three people, and Jon Stewart, have great integrity and intelligence. Krystal & Saager are living proof that the left and the right can work together to take on the establishment.
