Where's the outrage towards Jon Stewart?
Last night on 'A Daily Show'. Jon hinted about the Clinton's intentional pitting of brown against black. Called Bill a flat out liar and then they carried on about so many other things all the while making fun of Bill's infidelity.

Yet I see no outrage here today. :shrug:

5. If you missed it then try to catch today's rerun...
If you're a Clinton supporter you won't be thrilled.

7. I doubt I'll have much problem with it. Firstly, Jon is a comedian.
Secondly, I am under no illusion that any candidate is perfect.

12. Here is some of it...

I have'nt yet seen a clip of the part where John Oliver rips Bill and his support of his wife, while poking at the Lewinsky scandal. But I 'm sure it's out there somewhere...or will be sometime today.

16. He maybe irrelevant but the black vs brown issue IS relevant.
If America doesn't watch itself I can see a lot more violence between the two races. Bring the black vs. brown issue up was really a hurtful move to me by HRC camp. Something I really can't forgive them for since HRC always spouts out how she is for civil rights and the end of racism.

13. When I read that I thought you meant him crossing the picket line. I don't/won't watch until
the writers are back with a fair contract.

14. Its true that the Clintons desperately tried to make this about
blacks vs. browns. Its really sad that MSM isn't tackling this issue or even calling out the Clintons more. What they did was sneaky and terribly wrong. Thats one of the reasons why I can't support them even if HRC gets the ticket. No one uses my race like the way they did in Nevada. I'm personally tired of hearing how Latinos wont vote for a black person. Don't the Clintons know how hurtful that would be to black people who have supported the Clintons for years? Delight about racism and how Latino's wont vote for a black man just to be the Dem. winner? If HRC cared anything about civil rights she would have taken on her Pollster and said that it was a harsh and unfair statement. She should encourage Latinos and ALL races (blacks too) to vote for who they think will be the best president for all Americans.

Til this day I'm still fuming about this.

15. I'm always a little wary when people try to get DUers "outraged" at Stewart or Colbert--
it's satire and no one is off limits, even Democrats.

26. So if you keep track of what the Clinton camp has done to show
the pattern and document their actions, then your blamed with starting it. So does that mean when the Democrats keep track of Bush's misdeeds that they (the Democrats) are really the ones guilty of those misdeeds? Just curios. Because that is what your logic seems to imply.
