2. I'm not sure, but he was alot harder on msnbc than he was on faux.
Sometimes I just don't get Jon Stewart's humor.

4. It's strange to see that some people don't see the racial tinge in all of this.
Even in the entire GOP platform. The far right claims they aren't racist but their policies are so anti-poor and anti-middle class that 'racist' is OK shorthand. Even on the abortion issue, I swear it is racially motivated for them.
In NYC there are 1600 black children aborted for ever 1000 live births.
Who are the the racists?
And if you happen to be lurking:
http://www.blackgenocide.org/black.htmlHere's a quote from the page:
"Several years ago, when 17,000 aborted babies were found in a dumpster outside a pathology laboratory in Los, Angeles, California, some 12-15,000 were observed to be black."
--Erma Clardy Craven (deceased)
Social Worker and Civil Rights Leader
Apparently democrats still sell blacks for fun and profit.

11. It is the cw of DU seemingly, but I don't see a lot of proof that it is fact.
JS obviously doesn't either.

18. But there has to me more than assertion to make that claim valid.
And like I said, I really haven't seen any proof to back up that claim.

17. Then why didn't anyone make John McCain show his birth certificate when he was
born in the Panama Canal Zone and not on US soil? Why do the birthers want to know how Obama got into college when no one asked that of W?
Why do the birthers hold up signs of Obama dressed as a witch doctor?
[pic of Obama as witch doctor]
or this?
[pic of Obama as Mr T]
Or the recent one sent out by a congress women in California thru email that said she had the reason no one can find Obama's birth certificate and the email had a photo of 3 apes, the baby ape having Obama's face photoshopped on it?
I could go on and on, but these 2 pictures are offensive enough.
It should be noted that:
1) I don't see why making Obama appear as Mr T is, in and of itself, racist. It merely shows Obama as a bombastic doofus. Maybe Jidiot is claiming Mr T is an insult to blacks?
2) Even on the racially objectionable chimp and witch doctor (weird, cuz liberals idolize primitive cultures) neither of the imagees had anything to do with the BC

21. Well, we raised some of those questions regarding mccain and w.
Especially w. We also went after his military "service." We also did our equivalent of accusing him of "palling around with terrorists."
Repubs and their fringe birther elements come after Obama with guns blazing because that is what they do to Democrats. They did it with Carter, Clinton, Gore and Kerry. There is no assertion they won't throw to see if it gains traction. The birth certificate thing gained some traction. The major motivation, imho, was to harm as much as possible a Democratic president. This seems far more substantiated by recent events than some racist conspiracy.
To your photos, yes, I'm sure one can find examples such as those, but they seem to me to be the exception rather than the rule. I just don't see racism on a grand scale powering the birthers, the tea party and the larger repuke party. I'd need to see some proof.
Enjoy your stay.

24. Actually McCain had issues of his own
They passed a resolution in Congress specifically to clear up McCain's situation.
Stop ruining my fun.
