Jon Stewart Tears Into Fox’s Eric Bolling On Latte Salute Coverage

By Dane Fallon, September 26, 2014

Jon Stewart says “F**k you and all your false patriotism!” to Fox’s Eric Bolling, for the coverage on the ‘Latte Salute’. Stewart is not happy with the way the media has been handling the coverage on President Obama’s gesture, specifically the right-wing Fox News. Bolling says Obama’s ‘Latte Salute’ is disrespectful to the troops, and Stewart calls Bolling a hypocrite. “When George W. Bush took us to war, any criticism was shouted down as treasonous,” Stewart says in disgust with Fox. “But a president you don’t like has the country poised on the same precipice and no transgression, no matter how immaterial and ridiculous, is too small to cite as evidence that this president isn’t as American as you are.”

Stewart is an ass, so is the bamster and his styro cup. However, the Bush salute while holding his mutt was stupid also IMHO.

I want examples of this, Mr. Bloviating punk. Treasonous is Obama and his pen.

Stewart and a lot of liberals are upset because they can no longer deny or ignore what a disaster their boy Obama is.

Attacking the messenger is one way they can take out some of their frustrations..

“this president isn’t as American as you are.” - Leftists in general are always telling us how awful this country is, and how much they hate us. Obama is NOT as American as I am, or as most people I know. Has nothing to do with his birthplace, but his ideology.

Stewart also took Bolling to task for saying that Obama had no respect for the men and women in the military...and then asks if that female UAE fighter pilot represented ‘boobs on the ground’. Not overly respectful on Bollings part either.

You could explain all day long about the difference between saluting with something in your right hand and something in your left hand, but Jon Stewart only has to fool his brain-dead audience of howler monkeys, so you would be wasting your breath.

Bush is transfering the dog to his left arm so he has his right hand free to salute. Obama can’t be bothered to transfer his coffee cup to his left hand. It is permissable to salute with your right hand with something in your left hand but not in your right.

That is the difference.

“When George W. Bush took us to war, any criticism was shouted down as treasonous,” Stewart says in disgust with Fox.

And while Obama actually commits treason, any criticism of him is deemed racist. Surely Jon can do better than that - time to fire his writers ...

Here’s the difference between Obama’s “latte salute” and GWB’s “doggie salute” - President Obama is to the military what GWB (and his father, and most Republicans) is to the media - inasmuch that in both cases, they are tolerated, treated publicly with respect, but not much liked.

So when President Obama makes a gesture like this, it amplifies something that people already know about him. It is therefore not most comparable to GWB’s doggie salute - it is most comparable to that notoriously awkward moment when his father, President George HW Bush, looked at his watch during a campaign debate performance.

In both cases, the awkward gesture amplified some legitimate impressions that people had about a president under those circumstances, as President Obama’s feelings toward the military are likely nearly as President Bush’s (either one, or nearly any Republican) feelings toward the media. And in both cases, the gesture was a public reminder of this.

Who is Jon Stewart?

A non funny comedian the liberals worship and turn to for their version of the "news". So a nobody, really.

The VERY BIG difference is that Bush took us to war for a good reason - defending America against murdering terrorists. To the extent that Obama is taking us to war (and it's war-light with no "boots on the ground", which probably means special forces in ballet slippers acting as forward air controllers), he's doing it as an October Surprise campaign stunt to look less like a sissy and reduce the losses in the US Senate this election. Our soldiers are not a toy for political campaigns, and his abuse of their lives for so trivial a purpose is reprehensible, fully justifying any and all criticisms.
