Which makes the point all that more significant. He's no fan of Bachmann, which is plain to see. But even so, Newsweek went way over board in its treatment of of her.

THAT is the point.

Apparently he's not alone, given how many times I read "Jon Stewart Defends Bachman" on Google. But then, extremists on either side have no sense of humor, as we all know.

I keep wondering why righties don't come up with their own satirical show like Daily Show or Colbert Report. Maybe NONE of them have a sense of humor...the only thing I ever see them laughing about are put-downs of the other side or individuals. Strange mentality, and think just how much FUN they miss! I pity them.

You mean Rush Limbaugh and Glenn Beck aren't satirical?

Then again, I don't really take any of the pundits seriously, especially the liberal pundits. I can remember when Janeane Garafolo was considered mainstream thinking by the left.

It scared me so bad I had to watch a few episodes of Hannity and Colmes and choke down some Michael Savage to feel that all was equal in the world of political absurdity.

Ever wonder why both sides make each election sound like it's the end of the world and each side make a mockery of the other candidates?

Hell people made fun of the peanut farmer and the forgetful governor who loved jellybeans. Makes me yearn for a big warm glass of Billy Beer.

Bachmann not crazy.

Newsweek absolutely wrong and out of control batshit nutty in their treatment of a female politician.

Pretty much case closed here.

Yes, how very unfair of them to publish a picture that she posed for and for which she would have had to sign a release.

She is known for having that wild-eyed crazy look, and she is known for not being able to look at a camera while speaking (see her response to President Obama's State of the Union Speech for an example).

So to call it "unfair" of Newsweek to show the traits she's most known for is pure idiocy.

The only thing that makes Bachmann look batshit crazy is the fact that she's batshit crazy.

Everybody who isn't in bed with the tea-baggers knows this. Rappy doesn't, but he also thinks she adopted 23 kids, so we can all see how little he knows about... well, ANYTHING, really.

I see it's all over google, and the title on many is "Jon Stewart Defends Michelle Bachmann", which is hysterical if you see the entire bit. It's amazingly funny that some see that as him "defending" her:

Don't forget that Rappy's also citing NOW as his "proof" that Bachmann's being mistreated. Y'know, because he respects their opinion so much...

Here Niki, here's a bigger and better version of the picture that the Daily Show folks posted on their Facebook page.



Socialist and unashamed about it.

She isn't. Just ridiculous, hate filled far Left rhetoric , intent on distorting her image.

Actually, it isn't. As proven by multiple examples

She isn't, even a little

She's fostered far more kids than you ever will, so that alone makes her a better person than most.

Bachmann > Kwickie, 7 days a week, at least.

Okay, she is a good crazy person!

...of course I don't know if putting kids in a house with that level of batshite insanity is a good thing.

Again, distorting the point, entirely.

You, as a extreme far Left liberal zealot, refuse to accept the fact that Newsweek intentionally distorted their coverage of her, for purely political reasons.

Even the far Left wing N.O.W. and John Stewart can honestly come to terms on that point, yet you can't.


Curious.



( plus, the fact that you continue to use that parody of Gasden's flag, simply shows that you hate America )
