Comments on: Jon Stewart Makes a Decent Point About the Lack of Ron Paul Coverage https://www.jerseysmarts.com/2011/08/16/jon-stewart-makes-a-decent-point-about-the-lack-of-ron-paul-coverage/ Joe Palazzolo's Blog Thu, 25 Aug 2011 01:50:06 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.7.2 By: Joe https://www.jerseysmarts.com/2011/08/16/jon-stewart-makes-a-decent-point-about-the-lack-of-ron-paul-coverage/comment-page-1/#comment-30989 Mon, 22 Aug 2011 23:50:25 +0000 http://www.jerseysmarts.com/?p=7513#comment-30989 I’ll have to listen to the discussion at that link – thanks! As for Jon Stewart – I don’t know. I just don’t like him. I don’t get his politics, I don’t get his comments, I don’t get his stances, I don’t get his “you can’t attack me because I’m a comedian” schtick – I just don’t get him at all. He’s like that annoying kid in high school that just runs his mouth and has nothing to back in up either intellectually, physically, socially, or anything.

Frankly, I find him to be a bit creepy. I don’t know. And, for me, it’s not because he leans hard left and attacks the right. I mean, there are people on the right that I find kinda creepy (I never really understood Trent Lott’s appeal or Arnold Schwarzenegger’s success; and Joe Lieberman [independent my ass] freaks me out, too). Same thing on the left (mostly local politicians that creep me out on the left – we have some real winners here in New Jersey).

But that Stewart? I don’t know about him… something ain’t right there.

He is often painted as a far left guy. I think he is pretty reasonable – I’d say he tilts to the left, but I would consider him to be more moderate. Some of the stuff he’s done about Glenn Beck (you can find it on You Tube) and Bernard Goldberg is some of the funniest stuff ever – he’s done the same on Keith Olbermann as well.

However, like you, I don’t find most of his stuff to be funny. A bit over-the-top, if you ask me.

As for Congressman Paul, Sam Donaldson spoke about that issue yesterday morning with guest host Paul Harris on KTRS in St. Louis, among some other political topics. Great 10 or 15 minute discussion – http://paulharrisonline.blogspot.com/2011/08/sam-warren-ron-michelle.html.
