Jon Stewart Implies Pat Buchanan is a Nazi on The Daily Show

[nothri]

Disappointing. Compare this to Jon Stewart's segment on Steve Cohen (archived as "Word Warcraft" on the comedy central website). "What I have a problem with is people using hyperbole to induce an irrational fear of a particular group with the goal of ultimately reducing their numbers." I've found it ludicrious and insulting every time the Republicans drag out labels like Socialists or Nazis for that exact reason. I'm disappointed that Stewart apparently did the dame at one time.

[anywayokay]

All over youtube you can hear people accusing right wing politicians of being like Hitler. Why don't you ever hear people accuse left wing politicians of being like Stalin?

[eirefrance]

@anywayokay Are you fucking kidding me? Why don't you ever NOT hear right wingers comparing Obama to Hitler and Stalin both?

[beecee151]

@anywayokay Totally agree. Pat was just fired as the only conservative /libertarian on MSNBC --Thank god for that. Buchanan has been writing the same types of things for 30 plus years! (he was hired as a political throw in deal) Screw NBC....and why do I know about MSNBC so much is because the only times I watched is when Pat Buchanan was on the show. Fuck Joe S. also - He finally caved in and became Meekas puppet. Pat should be given a metal for tolerating this constant fuckery!

[Thesho3Maker]

omg Jon stewart got old XD

[beecee151]

calling someone a nazi is hack. Read Mr. Buchanan's books or search for him on youtube... many posts. He is anti Nazi and thank god for Stewart for having such a great writing team because he sucks ballz.!

[DawnOfTheDead991]

Technically Buchanan is not a Nazi, he is more like am old General Franco supporter, a man he lauded, Those types are reactionary Catholic racist bigots who sympathized with the Nazis because they saw the Nazis as bulwark against Communism & Judaism, but were not into the Final Solution stuff. So he is more like an old fashioned white Xtian supremacist than a true Nazi.

[beecee151]

@DawnOfTheDead991

Don't get it. I grew up protestent and consider myself an agnostic (as of this post)I know much about Catholics but don't get your point. Are you saying Catholics are more partial to being Anti jew/zionists? Like your reply but the peeps I know, including the elderly have never mentioned anything you claim. As far as Pat , I know he absolutely is not a Jew hater but simply libertarian about foreign policy.

[DawnOfTheDead991]

@beecee151 Buchanan is no libertarian and does admire people like Franco.as well as he is a bogot

[beecee151]

Pat or Bay Buchanan could put this hack (jon Stewart)  into a coma. Jon and his liberal friend hour is pure shit. When the writers went on strike they were deers in the headlights. They suck ass.

[SovereignStatesman]

@beecee151

They suck Obama's ass especially.

[Calimantalkin]

everybody looks so young in this video

[Saebeck32]

Trump and Buchanan are racist assholes.

[DawnOfTheDead991]

I guess we are all supposed to fall on the floor in rage over some contrived outrage over nothing based on this video? Jee, its a joke, you humorless conservative blockhead!

[SovereignStatesman]

@DawnOfTheDead991

Sure, Stewart can ream anyone ELSE for supposedly lying; but when Stewart lies "IT'S A JOKE!"

What a fucking shit-ass hypocrite.

[Fuzworth]

love jon stewart, but this is a good find. i wonder if there was context that made it ok... by the look on his face, it seemed like that wasnt the case.

[geraldreagan]

It bothers me that NO conservative will confront Stewart with this video. Instead they sit on their butt; it's their loss.

[bengotagun]

I love how these comedic segments turn into poo-slinging political campaigns in the comments.

[SovereignStatesman]

@bengotagun

Yeah and left-wing hypocrisy when Stewart is allowed to lie and defame with impunity because "IT'S A JOKE!"

[BOBBYSOX86]

Fuck you Jonathan Liebowitz...fuckin Kike

[DawnOfTheDead991]

@BOBBYSOX86 Spoken like a true Nazi

[dukenthaylor]

Well, he DOES collect Rugers that BELONGED to WWII Nazis...

[deliciousmorton]

I'm not a fan of Jon Stewart, but this clip is funny as hell.

[geraldreagan]

@deliciousmorton I was joking about my comment saying Jon Stewart is irrelevant; I wanted to see if anyone would take the bait. Jon Stewart is talented.

[geraldreagan]

Jon Stewart is irrelevant

[toyt100ota]

Why do you ask?

[geraldreagan]

@toyt100ota I will let you know if you don't mind sharing first.

[geraldreagan]

Do u mind telling me how old you are? Just curious toyt100a.

[toyt100ota]

I was trying to educate you on how you read me wrong as well. I was never confused as to why you were talking about Stewart just pointing out that by doing so you were keeping him relevant to you yet you expect him to be irrelevant to others soon. I mentioned how YOU were like others I was never talking ABOUT others. Clearly we have had several misunderstandings along the way.

[geraldreagan]

I was trying to educate you on how you were reading me wrong. You read me as having "Hatred" for Jon Stewart. You got off subject by talking about other people you said they wanted Stewart to become irrelevant. I'm only interested in talking to you so I can learn about how u think.

[toyt100ota]

Perhaps this will explain my point imagine someone saying Beck will soon fade away they then spent time talking about Beck online. That person clearly can't make Beck fade away in their own life yet they think Beck will fade away in other people's lives.

[toyt100ota]

Yeah and I pointed out the irony in your statement. If you don't see the irony thats fine. However if I spent as much time talking about someone as you just did just on this video alone I would hardly call them irrelevant because by definition I would be wrong.

[geraldreagan]

I simply gave my opinion on Jon Stewart's future. Simple.

[geraldreagan]

A lot of people who comment on Youtube posts are a'lways interested in hearing other people's opinions; then they are suprised that there actually are other opinions.

[toyt100ota]

I have no problems with reading opposing opinions its why I had this exchange with you. If I didn't want to hear your opinion I would not have come back to this video so many times. Its ok to admit you didn't understand the point I was making I can try and clarify it a different way. However bringing up an irrelevant point repeatedly and then saying you aren't confused just makes it seem like a cop out

[geraldreagan]

I disagree.

[geraldreagan]

I'm not confused.

[toyt100ota]

@geraldreagan Then why did you keep bringing up the old argument of "I'm talking about Stewart because this is a Stewart video". If your not confused you would know that had nothing to do with the point I was making.

[toyt100ota]

Your right you said" he will fade away soon" how could I possibly confuse that to mean you think he will become irrelevant soon.

Never having used the word irrelevant is just semantics did I really have to type "he will fade away soon" each time?

[geraldreagan]

@toyt100ota Let's try this again; was this a video about L. Ron Hubbard? No. Was this a video about Muhammad Ali's so called phantom punch against Sonny Liston? No.

So then, who WAS this video about? Jon Stewart. So should I therefore talk about L. Ron Hubbard? No. Should I start talking about the famous Ali phantom punch? No. But since this video is about Jon Stewart I will therefore find it appropriate to talk about Jon Stewart. That totally seems to confuse you. Why?

[toyt100ota]

@geraldreagan Your point doesn't confuse me at all I understand why you are talking about Stewart. I was just pointing out that like most people that say Stewart will fade away soon you are making sure that is not true by talking about him. That totally seems to confuse you. Why?

[geraldreagan]

I NEVER used the word irrelevant. only you have. Go back and read my post toyt100a.

[geraldreagan]

toyt100ta, I didn't mention Elvis Presley in my post. I DID mention Jon Stewart. Why? Because Elvis isn't In the video. Stewart IS in the video. You call that irony; I call it logical.

[toyt100ota]

You have got to be kidding. Nobody is making you watch Stewart on youtube you choose to therefore making Stewart relevant in your life. If I went around looking for Elvis videos then he would be relevant to me. If however I didn't ever look for Elvis videos, had conversations about him like you are now then I could say Elvis was irrelevant to me. What do you think relevance is? Up until you brought him up Elvis was irrelevant to this conversation now he is relevant.

[toyt100ota]

@geraldreagan If you want to make Stewart irrelevant stop spending time thinking about him at all that is when he becomes irrelevant. Until the general public stops making videos about Stewart on their youtube channels commenting on what he says, watching his shows, buying his books, he won't be irrelevant. Being irrelevant has a specific meaning.

[geraldreagan]

Do I see the irony? No.

[toyt100ota]

@geraldreagan Your making him relevant to you by watching videos of him and making comments about him. There is an easy way for you to make Stewart irrelevant in your life and yet here you are. Thats the irony most people that hope Stewart becomes irrelevant never understand. If he isn't even irrelevant to you then your going to be waiting a while until he is irrelevant to the general public.

[geraldreagan]

Jon Stewart seems to be bitter now. He still is a funny comic but underneath it all he seems to be filled with bitterness and anger. He will fade away soon; Lenny Bruce had the same thing happen to his career when he slowly became a bitter, angry comedian.

[toyt100ota]

@geraldreagan I think thats your hate for Stewart causing you to see bitterness.Like most people that don't like Stewart you want him to be irrelevant but yet here you are making comments about him don't you see the irony there?

[geraldreagan]

Elevate this conversation to an intelligent level priorzola.

[geraldreagan]

True. I hope Stewart knows that the media and politicians will continue calling people Nazis.

[geraldreagan]

I agree with Toyota. How is clips of Fox News calling other people Nazis enough for Stewart to justify himself calling Buchanan a Nazi in 1999? Good point.

[toyt100ota]

@geraldreagan Is Stewart justifying his 1999 clip? Did I miss the segment were Stewart said he was right to do it in 1999? He was wrong to do it then just like everyone else has been wrong in the 12 years since when calling someone a Nazi has pretty much become common place.

[geraldreagan]

I'm sure there is a lot more footage of Stewart contradicting himself. I hope it all becomes public.

[toyt100ota]

@geraldreagan How is what Stewart does not public now? If you go on the daily show website you can see all the old clips. I still find it amazing though that a 1999 clip is all people need to write off Stewart and justify calling someone they disagree with a Nazi.

[priorzola]

@geraldreagan yes, bring out more clips of a barely post-pubescent Jon Stewart contradicting his Middle Age self. That way we fake conservatives can ignore the NAZI-BAITING Glenn Beck performed only last week. And then ignore the next time he does it sometime this week.

I bet you can find clips of a college-age Glenn Beck contradicting what he says today. But first you'd have to find a clip of a college-age Glenn Beck where he isn't drunk and incoherent & wallowing in a pool of his own vomit.

[cmloz]

I guess Pat doesn't fawn to the tribe enough for the liking of Jon Leibowitz (aka Stewart).

[aspired2be]

@DronetekPolitics He went after Fox using clips from THE DAY AFTER news anchor said explicitly "No one on Fox uses Nazi comparisons" If you don't believe me, here is the video. Search 24 hour nazi party Daily show on google.

You can see his retort to Bill O'Reilly's response in the "related videos" section. He stands by his point.

[aspired2be]

@DronetekPolitics The Daily Show is satirical comedy! Glenn Beck and the many programs that make Nazi comparisons on a daily basis are not comedy shows. There is a difference. A lot of the crap on FOX (esp Glenn Beck) is fear mongering BS. BTW: How old is this clip? You've got to be kidding me...

[farerse]

@aspired2be thats a bit "coward" .. he wants to make political points but he use the comedy program so he doesnt have to stand by his points

[aspired2be]

@farerse In what way does John Stewart not stand by his points? Do you understand the point of Satire? Have you ever read Voltaire? Did he use comedy as to cowardly avoid criticism of his points? No sir.

The Daily Show is a comedy program that makes fun of the media's hypocrisy and outlandish ways of doing things. It's pretty funny if your ass isn't so puckered up.

[farerse]

@aspired2be i know thats his implication .. "its just a comedy show" . but i think jon is really concerned , and want to make some individuals look bad. and some look good! i like him .. and he's funny , but i still have this belief. douchebag!

[toyt100ota]

@farerse He uses comedy because he's a comedian. There are many different ways to make a political point and political satire has been one of them for almost as long as politics has been around.

[iSAW7]

@aspired2be Glenn Beck is comedy too.

[priorzola]

@aspired2be Glenn Beck is not a satirists or a comic. He's never performed at Yuk Yuks in Toledo to hone his craft. He is, however, a trained clown and he likes to show us all his specialty skill of juggling random facts and presenting them as an overriding theory that is entirely baseless. But his best trick is making the names of the KOCH BROTHERS and the AMERICANS FOR PROSPERITY drop off the face of the earth let alone never quite finding their way to his many many many many many chalkboards.

[priorzola]

@priorzola in fact, since the world is coming to an end, not only should we be stocking up on gold and food (which Beck will gladly sell to you), we should also be stocking up on CHALKBOARDS. No wonder school boards in this country have having such a hard time balancing their budgets. They're finding it harder to find chalkboards. That's because Glenn Beck is hoarding them all for himself.

I know Beck's making ADULTS dumber, now he's single-handedly responsible for making school age kids dumb.

[TrueManaBeast]

@DronetekPolitics regardless of which clips he used from whenever on fox news, they shows a pattern of using Nazi as a common place insult, and Stewart doesn't that was the point I was trying to make. The fact that he has messed up and said it before doesn't make him a hypocrite on the matter because it isn't a regular pattern.

[iSAW7]

@howlingwooolf What's the title of this book?

[iSAW7]

Wow, what a hypocrite.

[quebecois411]

@DronetekPolitics he call no one a nazi lol he refer from the donald trump quotes. try harder if you want dig stuff on him

[Eddythebeast666]

@DronetekPolitics He is a comedy show not a news show & I believe he was mocking Grechen for bold face lieing about FOX never of having acused people of being Nazis. HE NEVER SAID HE HAS NEVER DONE SUCH A THING. He does it when ever it funny. Get some prespective.

[VoiceOfModeration]

hypocrisy is nothing new for leftists and liberals.

[berniebay]

@VoiceOfModeration

It's nothing new for anybody trying to make a point. It's not just a liberal thing, everyone does it.

[quebecois411]

@VoiceOfModeration republican are angel cause they all go to church ...

[bstalwick]

LOL... How are you missing the point? If confronted, he would admit that he has made a reference in the past rather than vehemently deny that the reference has ever been used by anyone on the Comedy Central network, or even to point out that the reference was used... but with good reason.

[Roachenator]

@DronetekPolitics - yes..well they all are. They all called Bush "Hitler" for 8 yearsss..stewart, maher, olbermann, matthews..all of them

[toyt100ota]

@Roachenator Stewart never called Bush Hitler. He actually ran segments criticizing Democrats for calling Bush Hitler. If a 1999 clip of Stewart is all people need to justify calling someone else a Nazi or dismiss his opinion that people can make their political point without calling each other Nazi's then so be it.
