Is Jon Stewart Racist?

Let’s say a white guy goes on television, puts on an exaggerated "Amos ‘n Andy" “black voice” and proceeds to make fun of a black man whose politics the white guy doesn’t like. Actually, let’s say he goes beyond merely making fun of the black man. Let’s say he tries to make the black man sound downright stupid. Does that make the white guy a racist?

The correct answer is … it depends.

If the white guy is Rush Limbaugh and the black man is Barack Obama, then of course the white guy is a racist – according to liberals.

Among all the things I sell at the fair, are buttons. Think I will make one up later in the primary, “Racists For Cain”.

I do not believe John Stewart is intentionally racist.

Stewart is a typical white lib who screams race at every turn in order to mask his own racial prejudices. White libs are the biggest hypocrites when it comes to race and religion (e.g. Muslims)

I disagree, it does still matter, big time. The difference is we need to stop letting them set the agenda and retaliate instead. Turn the tables, ask: Are you a “racer”? A race pimp? Playing the race card again huh? Why don’t you give up your own job for “diversity” or “affirmative action”? Make them defend themselves, they will look inherently foolish bcoz they are inherently wrong . . . about everything.

This as all a plot by Fox News and the Tea Party to mis-mark me as a racist... I am in lock step with any Black or African-American who follows the Liberal Democrat Party Policy and as to those Conservative Republican Uncle Toms, take them out back, chain them to a stout post and whip them over and over again and again until they see the one true, Liberal Democrat light!

Now, that's not racist nor biased, that as pure American... as the New York Times, Media Matters, MoveOn.org or the CBS Evening News.

Hey, if I can not say anything nice about Jon, I just keep my mouth shut. However, other parts of me... speak for themselves!

Stewart attacked a Conservative Black, so he is OK. Had he done the same to a Liberal one there would be Hell to pay!

He called Rangel a camel: http://www.thedailyshow.com/watch/wed-august-11-2010/charlie-rangel-s-war

There is no “Amos n’Andy” voice in that one.
