Stewart or Beck?

Jon Stewart.  I still find him funny.

I really don't understand why you made this thread. PA is not someplace you are going to get much support for Glenn Beck.

JJ is right about Jon, but mom needs to chill out. 

More than zero votes for Beck? I am disappointed, progarchives. He is quite literally absolutely bananas. I have nothing wrong with people who have a right-wing view on politics, but come on.

They're both nuts in their own way, this poll should be moved to JFF.

Usually when he's distorting the truth somewhat it's so he can continue to appear relentlessly centrist rather than for comedy purposes. Also, just because you do not find something funny does not mean it is not presented in a comedic fashion. ;-)

 

Glenn Beck is a preacher. That's what he is at the core. He's not an informer, and he's not reasonable. He's driven by religious, irrational patriotism and neo-con zeal. He is the biggest drama queen on television/radio. He is the Nancy Grace of whatever he does.

Jon Stewert, well. He's self-deprecating enough for me to like him, but the clash between everyone in his target audience and himself being liberal and actually trying not to be liberal makes his show naught but comedy. He's nothing even close to serious. I suppose that doesn't need clarification.

HP, I didn't say Stewart is a fascist (though his love of big government is worrisome), I said YOU are a fascist . Sometimes you appear on the conservative side, sometimes you have socialist tendencies, but always your view seems to be that whatever is chosen has to be the only way, any decision has to be driven down people's throats, by force, totally absolutist. Left or right wing, fascism is the name.

And the fact that most people disagree with one's views doesn't make one wrong or the rest right. Tsk tsk where's the logic? In fact, I'd say most of the time less people are going to be right than wrong. Also, i'd say the US being so screwed as it is of late has a lot to do with the majority being dead wrong for a LONG time.

Beck of course ruins the truths he sometimes says with his neo-con beliefs and his religiousness. He's also somewhat fascist behind that cover of liberty he tries go portray.

well said.
