Jon Stewart on Politics and the Youth Vote (2000)

[corporaliam]

That's why I love John Stewart, he is honest

[runningray]

Jon is simply a very astute and intelligent human being. I as a young person am more than happy to listen to him. Why? Because he is smart, and doesnt dumb it down for me.

Im 19 and Im a centerist. I see everybodys point of view. I just pick which one I think has the most advantages to disadvantages.

[dannyolive31]

Im 17 year old right wing conservative and the liberal media "dan rather" is a low life piece of scum I saw him at baltimore airport and I was very close to making him sign my poster of bush miss me yet hahahagahahah liberals bunch of lies

[studiousx3]

@dannyolive31 I'm a twenty year old central wring conservative independent, and I think you're a blind fool.

You wanna fight a fellow youthful member?

[sunfisharegreat]

That.....was f**kin beautiful.  And Real. And heartfelt. As if I would expect less from Mr. Stewart, one of the few people who exude truth in the sea of lies that is our media.

[MrJosephMorris]

I think the youth vote in president Obama's election campaign proves Jon's point. Obama didn't ask the youth to vote for him, he said here is my product these are my views and I hope you vote for me. Its just too bad he hasn't delivered what was promised.

jon stewart..

MISSION.

FUCKING.

ACCOMPLISHED.

just be real

[nwadgnikaerb]

man remember when bottle caps used to be that big? man.

[logix0]

I am a self-proclaimed right wing conservative, and though I disagree with Stewart on almost every issue, he is one of the only liberal in the media I truly respect. Not only because he is brilliantly funny, but because he is honest with what he believes, a rarity in any liberal, and artfully expresses his opinion.

[21philip21]

that was amazing...

[Maplesyrup41]

that black chick is such a stereotypical dont know shit what she is talking about

[Maplesyrup41]

I wonder if he still feels strongly about this today

[willisnomiko]

@Maplesyrup41 He probably does, just puts it more eloquently. Can you imagine the uproar if he used the word "retarded" in that context now? Palin and the rest of the press would have had a field day the same way they did with Rahm. If most politicians, pundits, reporters don't stand a chance against Stewart, I doubt a 25 year old with little experience has much of a chance either. Props to her for trying though. Dan Rather looked really amused didn't he? Loved his TDS skits later on.

[gdwmontg10]

Could not have said it better myself, Jon. This society has catered to young people way too much.

[mossbones1]

he's an asshole

[WhatsInYoFridge]

Classic and spot on.

[eltranced]

jon is so underated

[invanorm]
