Please watch this. It’s from last night’s Daily Show.
No matter what your political affiliation, this is good stuff. Promise.
Alright, y’all. Discuss! But let’s keep it civil, shall we? My first point: Jon Stewart failed to mention a key point: that some of the 47% that don’t pay federal income tax (but do pay other payroll taxes) are those CURRENTLY serving in the military. Go!

Jon Stewart is my favorite. He always has the perfect way of putting political BS into perspective. It helps to laugh at it too because this shit gets really depressing.
I love Jon Stewart all of the time, but especially when he’s like this – all full of piss and vinegar (as my grandmother would say)
I want to high five that man.
As a proud member of the 47% (got a tax return, kids on state health program) I would like to say that I most certainly don’t feel entitled or like I have not taken responsibility or care of my life… frankly I am too busy RUNNING A BUSINESS and paying my EMPLOYEES.
God, I love this man.
Every time I see one of my “friends” “like” Mittens on Facebook I assume they’re doing it ironically, and then I’m flabbergasted when I realize they’re not. And they’re woman. Seemingly smart women.

I couldn’t wait to watch this again this morning after seeing it last night — shared it on Facebook as well. Have loved Jon Stewart forever, but he was in top form on this one.
I am so dismayed by WOMEN who support Romney. In my section of the woods, here in Virginia, I really think it comes down to old fashioned racism.
I’m sharing the link. Thanks!
I truly believe this in my area as well .My in laws are bible beating Christians who cringe at the thought of a Mormon leading the nation….but it’s better than a black man. I hate ignorance, it’s physically painful
That last line? Priceless. Also, clueless.
I look forward to watching him every night and last night he just nailed it. Listening to him makes me feel just a little less crazy, because some days, even with a steady diet of CNN, I feel like I live in an alternate universe.
He was on FIRE last night. I love it when he really lets loose and gets righteously angry :)
Love John Stewart and Colbert. Right now the comedy is almost writing itself!
Obama/Biden 2012
I can’t tell you how much I love that man right now (Jon Stewart, I mean. I’d rather stab myself in the uterus than say I love Mittens).
That was awesome! Thank you for sharing.
He mentioned the soldiers the night before, when the show was just focused on Mitt.
This really was fantastic. Jon Stewart is really just ramping it up. Did you see that him and O’Reilly are going to debate??
Uh.. Cecily, I think your affiliation definitely matters when watching this. What were you thinking to say it didn’t matter?
Seriously, do you honestly think that republicans are going to appreciate this?
Loved this. Thanks!
You don’t summit bullshit mountain unless you know your way around a turd or 2. GREATNESS!!! I freakin love this show and watch all the time.
