Let me get this straight, you support New Gingrich (a known liar in his own right) who basically disappeared for 8 years while the Bush administration destroyed our coutry with wars that lined the pockets of the uber-rich. The only reason Gingrich is out now is he has presidential aspirations. I will never vote for this cockaroach!

[miggetymike1]

Every aspect of your post is either false or irrelevent to the video. I am NOT a Gingrich supporter. The point of this video is clear: to point out the logical fallacies of Stewart's arguments. If you have any intelligible thoughts about that I'd love to hear them.

@miggetymike1 I get the point that you were being hard on Jon Stwart (the comedian), but you said none of my points were true or relevent to the discussion: (1) Let me get this straight, you support Newt Gingrich ... You basically railed against Jon stewart in support of Newt Gingrich in both your points (2) New Gingrich (a known liar in his own right). He lied about Sonia Sotomayor, Obama being a radical.

I don't know how I could have been more clear when I said I was "NOT a Gingrich supporter." Once again your personal views on Gingrich are irrelevant to whether or not Stewart's arguments were valid. It doesn't matter if Stewart was trying to use the faulty logic on Osama, it's still faulty logic and I wouldn't be supporting Osama for pointing that out.

Warren Buffet a really rich guy...."Mr Buffett said that he was taxed at 17.7 per cent on the $46 million he made last year, without trying to avoid paying higher taxes, while his secretary, who earned $60,000, was taxed at 30 per cent.

[miggetymike1]

I've heard this. I find it hard to believe that Buffet's personal secretary only makes $60k. Even if these numbers are true the exeption doesn't disprove the rule. Pointing out that one girl is taller than one boy does nothing to disprove that on average boys are taller. The fact remains, rich people, on average, pay not only more money but a larger percent of their income in taxes. This has never been a secret, the IRS keeps records you can look up.

You have been watching way to much of the O'Riley Factor.....And besides you give a flying F!@# what Jon says he is a comedian thats what they do make people laugh at poking fun at everybody else...

I think you are missing Stewart's point here. Stewart believes that healthcare is clearly broken, which, I think most americans woud agree. So, if private business can't make it work, why not let the government give it a try. Competent governments are good at waging war (The first Gulf War!) As for the houses, I don't hear people complaining about the houses they purchase. However, I do hear a lot of complaints about medical insurance people purchase.

@miggetymike1 The rich pay a larger percentage on income tax from regular income, like if their selling a product they would pay a larger percentage of tax on the profits. But from interest on investments they only pay around 15 percent which is a lot lower than what somebody making 60,000 a year would make which is close to 30. Warren Buffet makes all or most his money off investments so he is paying around the 17.7 number he quoted.

NDAA.. Obama not tyrannical? But Jon Stewart's argument's are illogical at times certainly.

[perrrob]

Can't wait to hear Stewart about Newt's ideas of arresting judges.

That nutcase wants to be a Fuhrer ... LOL

Jon Stewart is a dick

You’re right the fault of a tow party system is that some people may think differently and or point out something negative about you. I guess you’re right maybe we should just have a dictator and an inquisition to find and kill anybody that may have different views than us.

the rationality is Jon is trying to get laughs and is not a real journalist. even though he reports news better and more truthfully than "actual ' journalists
