About what exactly in this video portarys Jon Stewart as unintelligent? Unless yer hole pt is dat any body thiniking gorge w Bush is stoopid is also so stoopid
@gcastro44 by which you mean people who hunt for media and news, rather than go to one place to get it fed to them by the simplest sounding providor (after an animal, not an acronym)?
@CourtyardPigeon lol that's funny because the nazi party was a socialist movement. i don't care if you watch jon stewart, but i find him rather obnoxious. just don't pretend that he is smart and knows what he is talking about.
@YAHSPETSNAZ The Nazi's abandoned Socialism to gain support of the industrial side of Germany before Hitler even became chancellor. Once Hitler was in power the Nazi's were only concerned with keeping power they went after opponents on the left just as much as on the right.
@curtispsf no, actually you are politically blind little moron. i watch all of the news channels, and fox isnt great but it sure beats the abc bullshit.

Whether you chose to believe it or not, mr SouthParkBear, Jon Stewart is an intelligent human being. Satire is his strong suit, but politics and economics follow right behind. So you, sitting here bashing on him, and those that appreciate or approve of him is your opinion, I will give you that, but you can not sit here and try to denounce everything he, or his followers, say or have their own opinion for because that's becoming hypocritical. And your calling this other man an idiot because you
i love Jon Stewert, his importance to this nation cannot be understated, this funny guy, is way more than funny, as far as im concerned he is a national hero! the work hes doing to shut down the propaganda machine republicans use to keep republican voters stupid, (Fox News) could very well actually save this nation. !!!!!
Do you not understand the point of satire? If you call someone out for supposedly being stupid, when they're in a sense using sarcasm to show absurdities...you don't realize what that does for your own credibility.
@SouthParkBear the bush tax cuts are the biggest single policy contributor to the current deficits(or at least at the time of bush leaving), which is actually what he claims.. at least as far as I know. and eliminating them would reduce the deficit by quite a bit.. it wouldn't get rid of it, but I'm not sure he's ever said it would(nor have I heard anyone else say it would..)
if you don't think the tax cuts are contributing then I'd be interested to know what you think deficits are...
I'm not here to teach you basic economics, but you should have the common sense to realize the obvious: i.e. that higher taxes = higher prices = lower sales = lower tax-revenue.
Try googling something called "the Laffer Curve;" obviously you can only raise taxes so much, before you kill the goose that lays the golden eggs... and we're already PAST that point.
But then, you think that the gold is already IN the goose-- i.e. "the greedy rich."
@SouthParkBear you can also only lower them so much, no one's saying we should make the tax rate 100%.. And you simply aren't connected to reality if you think we're PAST a point were we're "killing the goose that lays the golden egg", the wealthiest people in this country control more of the wealth than they ever have before and that keeps increasing, we lowered their taxes and they didn't lower prices. You have an overly simplistic view of economics.
@SouthParkBear Lowering the tax rate can increase the revenue, but it's not generally from increased sales, it's from higher compliance, or reducing loop holes, which generally keeps the effective tax rate about the same, but increases the base thereby increasing revenue and making things more fair.
The rich(and everyone else) were doing just fine in the 90s. That's the tax rate we're talking about here.. don't act like the worlds going to fall apart if we go back.
@SouthParkBear pay attention. Lowering taxes won't necessarily reduce prices. and beyond that, reducing prices won't necessarily increase sales, especially when everyone that wants to buy already is, or they just don't have any money because they have no job.
wow.. your either very ignorant or just plain lying. In '93 and for the majority of the '90s the top tax rate was 39.6%, and the economy was doing great. Bush lowered it in 2001 to 39.1%, then in 2002 to 38.6%, then in 2003 down to 35%
@SouthParkBear To claim that raising it back to where it was in the mid-late 90s will cause the world to crumble is fear-mongering.
Granted none of this is addressing the original point, which you are yet to dispute: The bush tax cuts(and resulting loss of revenue) are the biggest single policy contributor to our deficit. If you want to cut taxes again or leave them the same, then it is YOU that's expecting us to be able to borrow forever.
@SouthParkBear We need to pay off our debt, the only way to do that is to balance the budget. The only reasonable way to do that is to cut spending and raise taxes, or at least revenue, the tax rate is mostly irrelevant with all the tax loopholes we have people only pay around 25% anyway so why not just kill the loopholes and reduce the rate to that?
although it is of course your right to just stick you head in the ground and repeat "I'm right, I'm right, I'm right" as you appear to be doing.
Just nevermind. Raising taxes will NOT raise revenue-- you just can't seem to fathom that insurmountable fact; rather, you seem to think that all incomes are fixed, and that simply raising taxes will raise revenue.
It's obvious where you got YOUR head stuck, and these simplistic moronicisms are the reason that your boy Obama is killing the economy.
@SouthParkBear sigh. You seem to be implying that lowering taxes will raise revenue. In some cases that may be true(namely when taxes are so high that people say fuck you I'm not paying). By your logic, when Bush lowered taxes in 2001,2002 and 2003, revenue would have gone up... so lets see, income tax revenue according to the cbo:
He also lowered them in 2003, and it went up.... so you're clearly cherry-picking to get the result you want, while ignoring the evidence you don't like.
That proves your intellectually dishonest... or retarded; either way, adios!
@SouthParkBear actually no, it went down in 2003, it went up in 2004, after he stopped lowering the tax rate... maybe you have trouble reading but 793.7 < 858.3.
you see your avoiding the whole point here: we lowered the tax rates and the income went down. This would indicate that we are on the right side of the graph(or BELOW if you prefer)
are you claiming that the recession is all because we have too much taxes??
@SouthParkBear If you think the Laffer curve states that "Raising taxes will NOT raise revenue" your missing the entire point of the theory. If your on the right side of the maximum revenue point raising taxes WILL raise revenue, while lowering them will reduce revenue. If your on the left side of the maximum revenue point, then lowering taxes will raise revenue, and increasing them will reduce revenue.
well we lowered taxes and revenue went down... ie: we're on the right side of the graph.
@SouthParkBear that loss of revenue(combined with inaction on entitlement reform, adding new entitlements, and two wars, and the various other spending increases under Bush and Obama) is what made the debt soar. I understand that you don't wanna believe that your boy Bush had anything to do with this, but.. well he did.
Please, by all means, continue insulting me instead of actually engaging in conversation. It really helps.
I'm insulting you, that implies a judgment-- I'm simply making an observation that conversation is futile.
Just like you you said hiking taxes would raise revenue, and I'm observing that you're technically insane because you're literally claiming the impossible.
And Bush isn't "my boy." but Jon Stewart is clearly YOURS... and you're as clueless as he is.
@SouthParkBear Ok, I didn't know satire was meant to be used for things you agree with? Regardless of your opinions on him, he does satire. That's his thing. So what else besides disagreements, mockery, and ridicule is he supposed to use for his motivation to perform or stand for? That's silly to think that "Oh, he jokes and teases those who disagree with him so he's an idiot because of it". You're fitting into the accusation you give him.
@SouthParkBear Now you're getting your ass hurt? Don't bother explaining then, never asked for the comments that you chose to post. It's easy to call someone an idiot who not only disagrees with you but argues against you.
human beings still not equal specially in any form of government interference. No Politicians. No Bankers. No Drug Lords. No lawyers. No Anarchist. No to rebel Politicians. No to Dictators. etc.
We humans need more freedom. We dont need any government anymore.. we are all free.!!
lets all create a free world for all. A community of free will of equality.
"he talks like he's talking to someone who's stupid"... Just like our current president. Only difference is Obama will not be elected to another term. Why? Because people aren't stupid.
@imax1971 rofl, you guys elected Bush again after he straight up lied to you about Iraq...What makes you think Obama won't get re-elected, particularly when you see the buffoons the GOP has lined up to try to knock him off. The only stupid I saw on this page is your comment to be perfectly honest. ;) lol
@nethoser Us guys? I didn't vote for Bush and I was not a supporter... If you look at my comment, I didn't call anyone stupid. I think the Iraq war was absolutely ridiculous. With that said, congress reviewed the intelligence and voted (republicans and democrats) for the war.. I would like you to be intellectually honest and outline how President Obama deserves a second term. Any objective person would see he is in way over his head.
@imax1971 Your somehow implying that the Presidential Election of the United States of America isn't in any way a popularity contest with the voters, with corporations throwing money at whoever will do their bidding. It has zero to do with who deserves what. I will say this: the American voter deserves a better system for electing their officials. One that isn't a complete circus. ;) PS: I'm Canadian, it's why I said "u guys". ;)
@DawnOfTheDead991 I didn't say pop culture is trash. Where did you come up with that???
BTW, off the subject, Dawn of the Dead (1978) was the BEST movie ever made! I've watched it over 100 times..The remake was also great... I'm huge into zombie flicks.
No offense intended to the video's creator, dennyindc, but should you really be attempting to expose Jon Stewart's supposed lack of intelligence when you cannot spell "no" correctly after nearly 4 years?
I watched the video twice. At no point did I see Mr. Stewart appear to be genuinely stupid. However, I saw the exact opposite on display from beginning to end.
Thumbs up if you clicked on this video with 100% doubt of seeing something STUPID come out of Jon Stewart's mouth expecting the video itself to have more than 50% negative comments. That's what happens when an IDIOT uploads a video with his own idiotic opinion and attaches it to the title.
You can say whatever you want about John Stewart but calling him stupid or dumb is a riddiculous thing to do. Stupid people do, generally, not become this popular, stupid people do not express different opinions/phenomenons so brilliantly and funny as he does. stupid people do, in general, not win awards for his work for a questioning climate in politics and journalism over all. Stupid people does not beat EVERY SINGLE man or woman he has ever debated officially on tv and still be polite bout it
@eyesea LOL! So you're saying every time he's ever talked in depth about politics or economics you've heard it? That's what you're saying. First off, bullshit. Second, you believe that he was inaccurate about what he was saying? If so please by all means elaborate. Third, HE'S A COMEDIAN! Did you expect him to be completely serious and stone faced when talking about the atrocity known as George W. Bush just as one example of what he discussed? LMAO!
@dmoney69696969 i meant ON HIS SHOW obviously. He gets serious a lot on his show, and even when he cracks jokes, when they concern politics or economics they are at best extremely short sighted points he is making (even in jest).
You think GWB's presidency was an atrocity? Genocide is an atrocity. GWB was a run of the mill corporate whore president, who was paid for and voted for by the consumers and voters of america. Blame yourselves.
@eyesea I wasn't serious when I said atrocity. He was a shitty president. I didn't vote for him. I wasn't old enough to vote at that point. But I blame idiotic Americans. In any event, he's not stupid or ignorant. Most likely you have a different political view and you disagree with some things that he said so you're saying he's stupid and/or ignorant. In which case you are stupid and/or ignorant. Someones opinion on politics doesn't have any bearing on intelligence anyway.
@dmoney69696969 i dont wanna be insulting but maybe you dont know a lot of poli sci and business/economic principles or theory... much less history to underpin it all. its not about my beliefs, its about fact and john stewart puts for a very limited and immature viewpoint across to the audience most times he's on. i dont expect a comedy show host to be all fact or whatever but he presents things as factual still, and shortchanges people when he has a chance to actually be real and truthful.
@eyesea I know enough about political science and business/economic principle let me assure you. You really gotta understand that he's a comedian. He's naturally a laid back person from what I've witnessed. Have you watched any of his interviews with Bill O'Reilly? He's more serious and straight forward than usual. But if you're looking for someone to be up tight and factual about political issues and what not you're looking in the wrong place. But that's not the point though.
@eyesea The point is that you said he's either stupid or ignorant. Which is false. I guess we're at a stalemate because I don't agree at all. I mean you're not giving me any reason to believe otherwise except saying that what he says about certain things is wrong and that he puts forth an immature viewpoint. Bill O'Reilly says things that are wrong and basically childish but I don't think him a stupid person. Like Stewart said in the video "stupid is, oh my god I just ate soap". lol
@dmoney69696969 its not false... its all about context. you think that he's truthtelling when he says or alludes to something you agree with then say 'oh he's just a comedian being a comedian' if he says something you don't agree with. Bill O'Rielly is a troll, John Stewart is being serious and humourous in equal parts, and at both times, he either makes allusions or straight up statements which are incorrect, shortsighted, and the kind of things 12 year olds think.
@eyesea Alright well I'm done with this. You don't understand that what you're saying makes him stupid, DOESN'T ACTUALLY HAVE ANY BEARING ON INTELLIGENCE! Being stupid and saying something stupid are two completely different things. That's why I used O'Reilly as an example. He says some really stupid things but he's not a stupid person. I can't even think of or find anything stupid that Stewart has said. Chances are you don't agree with him or like him as a comedian so you say he's stupid.
@dmoney69696969 i'm not going to go and waste 5 or 10 minutes just to give you a citation you would dispute with semantics and opinion presented as logic or fact.
moot point anyways, because if you have to ask that question then you're bullshit filter is either missing or broken.
@dmoney69696969 others have said it plenty of times but the most clear thing he's guilty of is picking on individuals without ever taking on the actual systemic problems. i'm sure he's been told to keep it personal though, and not talk about people that aren't in the public eye or the cause of the problems he rails against. if he did that his show would get pulled, but either way, he presents himself as so righteous even if it is disguised as humour. the show was better when he wasnt so serious
@eyesea That's opinion not fact. Plus you didn't give me a single instance where he was wrong. You generalized everything. That's why I said give me specifics. I don't think you can. lol And don't take offense to that because I'm sure if you could, you would have already. You're just trying to save face which is understandable.
I have an appeal to anyone out there handy with putting clips on youtube:
On the Daily Show episode from Thursday, August 15th, Stewart does a segment which brilliantly exposes the conservative position of taxing the poor instead of the rich, highlighting the absurd media arguments (mostly from Fox) which support it. It was an illuminating segment, and I think if it had more exposure (such as youtube), it might get people to think logically about the situation.
This video is an epic fail by this channel. He's definitely very intelligent, even though he is just as wedded to the system as any right wing hack. Sorry mr. dennyindc or whatever your names it. But this is sad on your part.
so some idiot called "dennyindc" decided to put this clip up - with NO explanation to WHY Jon is stupid, just that he is... yup... dennyindc smells like a Bush supporter. "WHO NEEDS EVIDENCE?"
So...did you attend Rick Perry's prayer meeting to pray away the economic woes of America too? People who even think of voting for a guy who's idea to fix the economy is by praying it away....they are the problem in this country.
"Sorry John callem like i see em" I adore some illiterate hick that can't even spell JON (no letter "h") noo smart. The dumbing of America happening before our eyes.
@minterdt the part where he started behaving exactly like W. That seemed pretty stupid to me, although i think credit should go to george and not jon. After all, he did invent the retarded president character, so credit where it's due.
Here's how the title should look: George W. Bush: Conservative yes, Funny oh my god yes, smart....well, he ducks when shoes are thrown...that's about the best he can do
This coming from a guy who doesnt space after a comma and spells Jon's name wrong. If your going to TRY to call someone dumb, at least be able to write a grammatically correct title. One word: Dumbass!

So you don't think lowering prices will increase sales? Wow you don't know much.
Again, I'm not here to teach you basic economics... not that it would do any good to try.
I just have to say that you have no clue what you're talking about... which explains why you're a Jon Stewart fan.
And taxes are HIGHER now than in the 90's; in 1990 the highest marginal rate was 31%; now it's 35%.
And there's no more money to borrow-- did you really thing that was gonna last forever?
Nevermind.

@SouthParkBear pay attention. Lowering taxes won't necessarily reduce prices. and beyond that, reducing prices won't necessarily increase sales, especially when everyone that wants to buy already is, or they just don't have any money because they have no job.
wow.. your either very ignorant or just plain lying. In '93 and for the majority of the '90s the top tax rate was 39.6%, and the economy was doing great. Bush lowered it in 2001 to 39.1%, then in 2002 to 38.6%, then in 2003 down to 35%

@SouthParkBear To claim that raising it back to where it was in the mid-late 90s will cause the world to crumble is fear-mongering.
Granted none of this is addressing the original point, which you are yet to dispute: The bush tax cuts(and resulting loss of revenue) are the biggest single policy contributor to our deficit. If you want to cut taxes again or leave them the same, then it is YOU that's expecting us to be able to borrow forever.

@SouthParkBear We need to pay off our debt, the only way to do that is to balance the budget. The only reasonable way to do that is to cut spending and raise taxes, or at least revenue, the tax rate is mostly irrelevant with all the tax loopholes we have people only pay around 25% anyway so why not just kill the loopholes and reduce the rate to that?
although it is of course your right to just stick you head in the ground and repeat "I'm right, I'm right, I'm right" as you appear to be doing.

@geoffpot
Just nevermind. Raising taxes will NOT raise revenue-- you just can't seem to fathom that insurmountable fact; rather, you seem to think that all incomes are fixed, and that simply raising taxes will raise revenue.
It's obvious where you got YOUR head stuck, and these simplistic moronicisms are the reason that your boy Obama is killing the economy.
SouthParkBear 2 months ago
@SouthParkBear sigh. You seem to be implying that lowering taxes will raise revenue. In some cases that may be true(namely when taxes are so high that people say fuck you I'm not paying). By your logic, when Bush lowered taxes in 2001,2002 and 2003, revenue would have gone up... so lets see, income tax revenue according to the cbo:
2000 1,004.5
2001 994.3
2002 858.3
2003 793.7
2004 809.0
2005 927.2
2006 1,043.9
well what do you know.. it went down...

@geoffpot
He also lowered them in 2003, and it went up.... so you're clearly cherry-picking to get the result you want, while ignoring the evidence you don't like.
That proves your intellectually dishonest... or retarded; either way, adios!
SouthParkBear 2 months ago
@SouthParkBear actually no, it went down in 2003, it went up in 2004, after he stopped lowering the tax rate... maybe you have trouble reading but 793.7 < 858.3.
you see your avoiding the whole point here: we lowered the tax rates and the income went down. This would indicate that we are on the right side of the graph(or BELOW if you prefer)
are you claiming that the recession is all because we have too much taxes??
geoffpot 2 months ago
@SouthParkBear If you think the Laffer curve states that "Raising taxes will NOT raise revenue" your missing the entire point of the theory. If your on the right side of the maximum revenue point raising taxes WILL raise revenue, while lowering them will reduce revenue. If your on the left side of the maximum revenue point, then lowering taxes will raise revenue, and increasing them will reduce revenue.
well we lowered taxes and revenue went down... ie: we're on the right side of the graph.
geoffpot 2 months ago
@SouthParkBear that loss of revenue(combined with inaction on entitlement reform, adding new entitlements, and two wars, and the various other spending increases under Bush and Obama) is what made the debt soar. I understand that you don't wanna believe that your boy Bush had anything to do with this, but.. well he did.
Please, by all means, continue insulting me instead of actually engaging in conversation. It really helps.
geoffpot 2 months ago
@geoffpot
I'm insulting you, that implies a judgment-- I'm simply making an observation that conversation is futile.
Just like you you said hiking taxes would raise revenue, and I'm observing that you're technically insane because you're literally claiming the impossible.
And Bush isn't "my boy." but Jon Stewart is clearly YOURS... and you're as clueless as he is.
SouthParkBear 2 months ago
@SouthParkBear according to your own theories, it's not impossible. Notice there are two sides to Laffer curve. so it's clearly not impossible.
geoffpot 2 months ago
@geoffpot
Those two sides are ABOVE and BELOW.
It's impossible because current tax-rates are ABOVE it-- thus the recession.

@SouthParkBear Ok, I didn't know satire was meant to be used for things you agree with? Regardless of your opinions on him, he does satire. That's his thing. So what else besides disagreements, mockery, and ridicule is he supposed to use for his motivation to perform or stand for? That's silly to think that "Oh, he jokes and teases those who disagree with him so he's an idiot because of it". You're fitting into the accusation you give him.

You can say whatever you want about John Stewart but calling him stupid or dumb is a riddiculous thing to do.

Stupid people does not beat EVERY SINGLE man or woman he has ever debated officially on tv and still be polite bout it

Second, you believe that he was inaccurate about what he was saying? If so please by all means elaborate. Third, HE'S A COMEDIAN!

dmoney69696969 4 months ago
@dmoney69696969 i meant ON HIS SHOW obviously. He gets serious a lot on his show, and even when he cracks jokes, when they concern politics or economics they are at best extremely short sighted points he is making (even in jest).

@eyesea I wasn't serious when I said atrocity. He was a shitty president. I didn't vote for him. I wasn't old enough to vote at that point. But I blame idiotic Americans. In any event, he's not stupid or ignorant. Most likely you have a different political view and you disagree with some things that he said so you're saying he's stupid and/or ignorant. In which case you are stupid and/or ignorant. Someones opinion on politics doesn't have any bearing on intelligence anyway.
dmoney69696969 4 months ago
@dmoney69696969 i dont wanna be insulting but maybe you dont know a lot of poli sci and business/economic principles or theory... much less history to underpin it all. its not about my beliefs, its about fact and john stewart puts for a very limited and immature viewpoint across to the audience most times he's on. i dont expect a comedy show host to be all fact or whatever but he presents things as factual still, and shortchanges people when he has a chance to actually be real and truthful.
eyesea 4 months ago
@eyesea I know enough about political science and business/economic principle let me assure you. You really gotta understand that he's a comedian. He's naturally a laid back person from what I've witnessed. Have you watched any of his interviews with Bill O'Reilly? He's more serious and straight forward than usual. But if you're looking for someone to be up tight and factual about political issues and what not you're looking in the wrong place. But that's not the point though.
dmoney69696969 4 months ago
@eyesea The point is that you said he's either stupid or ignorant. Which is false. I guess we're at a stalemate because I don't agree at all. I mean you're not giving me any reason to believe otherwise except saying that what he says about certain things is wrong and that he puts forth an immature viewpoint. Bill O'Reilly says things that are wrong and basically childish but I don't think him a stupid person. Like Stewart said in the video "stupid is, oh my god I just ate soap". lol
dmoney69696969 4 months ago
@dmoney69696969 its not false... its all about context. you think that he's truthtelling when he says or alludes to something you agree with then say 'oh he's just a comedian being a comedian' if he says something you don't agree with. Bill O'Rielly is a troll, John Stewart is being serious and humourous in equal parts, and at both times, he either makes allusions or straight up statements which are incorrect, shortsighted, and the kind of things 12 year olds think.
eyesea 4 months ago
@eyesea Alright well I'm done with this. You don't understand that what you're saying makes him stupid, DOESN'T ACTUALLY HAVE ANY BEARING ON INTELLIGENCE! Being stupid and saying something stupid are two completely different things. That's why I used O'Reilly as an example. He says some really stupid things but he's not a stupid person. I can't even think of or find anything stupid that Stewart has said. Chances are you don't agree with him or like him as a comedian so you say he's stupid.

@dmoney69696969 others have said it plenty of times but the most clear thing he's guilty of is picking on individuals without ever taking on the actual systemic problems. i'm sure he's been told to keep it personal though, and not talk about people that aren't in the public eye or the cause of the problems he rails against. if he did that his show would get pulled, but either way, he presents himself as so righteous even if it is disguised as humour. the show was better when he wasnt so serious

@eyesea That's opinion not fact. Plus you didn't give me a single instance where he was wrong. You generalized everything. That's why I said give me specifics.

egardiner21 4 months ago 4
I have an appeal to anyone out there handy with putting clips on youtube:
On the Daily Show episode from Thursday, August 15th, Stewart does a segment which brilliantly exposes the conservative position of taxing the poor instead of the rich, highlighting the absurd media arguments (mostly from Fox) which support it. It was an illuminating segment, and I think if it had more exposure (such as youtube), it might get people to think logically about the situation.
Someone, somewhere, put it up!
