After an extended vacation, Jon Stewart returned to his “Daily Show” anchor’s desk Monday—and not a moment too soon, as the national epidemic of crazitude hasn’t calmed down since he left, especially when it comes to the subject of health care reform. That was clear from the displays of outrage (and the Fox News coverage thereof) during last weekend’s march on Washington.  —KA

Why are they allowed to preach their hatred of America?
Wait I know, because of their foul corrupt thieving means they own most of the country.  I’m sure within the next year loonbaugh and some of the other anti-American windbags will be back on TV since the republicans control the MSM.

Their freedom hating, liberty hating, anti-American rhetoric has only just begun. After all they may start paying some taxes, rather than stealing the taxes paid by all of us hard working patriots.

Don’t the Teabaggers realize they are insulting their Own when they compare Obama to Hitler?
I’m sure their cohorts from the Neo Nazi’s might take offense.
come on Repugs we know that even if you don’t have a swastika tattooed somewhere under your clothes, Your clothes have been covered in a White Gown and Hood at some point.
Why miss an opportunity with a mere bonfire when you can have a Cross burning instead- ah? Ya think Jesus would have dragged that one into DC for you too?

was there one person out there who really knew why they were there?

Actually, yes, there was a small group of true Libertarians there. Unfortunately, Glenn Beck, and his band of merry dimwits, are trying to hijack the Libertarian Party. They are drawn to it because of the limited government, free markets, and gun rights that they support. However, start talking to them about legalizing marijuana, gay marriage, immigration reform, and equal opportunity, and they go running for the hills. Don’t even attempt to discuss Austrian Economics with them. Libertarians are probably the most misunderstood group in the political spectrum, and this parody explains why:

The Typical Libertarian is hated by conservatives because he wants the freedom to snort coke off a teenaged hookers ass while smoking pot and watching a movie full of boobies and cuss words in preparation for sodomizing his illegal immigrant housekeeper, Carlos. The Typical Libertarian also wants criminals, terrorists and Mexicans to roam freely about causing all manner of social chaos, and has no interest in forcing people to love Jesus Christ. The Typical Libertarian is a traitor to the GOP and America because he failed to support the war in Iraq, the PATRIOT Act, the Stimulus, and both Bush and McCain, despite the fact that both men once said something at a cocktail party about maybe possibly lowering taxes on some people some day.

The Typical Libertarian is hated by liberals because he is a crypto-archconservative who wants poor people to go without education, medical care, police protection, food, shelter, and oxygen. The Typical Libertarian spends his weekends running down endangered species in his monstrous, gas-guzzling SUV before stopping off to smoke a pack of cigarettes in a daycare. The Typical Libertarian wants the world to be run by unaccountable multinational conglomerates instead of unaccountable governments. The Typical Libertarian is a racist, sexist, profit-driven nihilist who failed to mark the ascendance of the Chosen One, and has never protested for Union rights nor worn a T-shirt with the word Darfur on it.

Despite clinging to a hopelessly unworkable, idealistic and marginal political philosophy, the Typical Libertarian has recently been discovered as the cause for the downfall of Western Civilization.

think it’s muslims and socialism that are to fear when in fact it’s corporate america
and their mighty control of us, our lives and the airways to spew their agenda
laced propaganda. was there one person out there who really knew why they were
there?

Excuse me:  They have no idea what they want except they have an emotional urge to unload their ignorance and fear on someone else.  “The government” is an easy target because it is lost in a pile of junk left over from the previous administration, which spent eight years trying to get rid of its fears and blaming someone else for its problems. Sanity and patience are in short supply these days.  Stay cool. Read.  Think.  Do something helpful.

Yea, fish in a barrel. But they’re out there fighting for what they want. What are
you willing to fight for?
