Comedian (and climate change advocate)  Jon Stewart seems to think vanishing coal jobs that force miners to find new jobs “is funny”.  So funny in fact, he thinks they should go and work for the NFL….because, you know, being a coal miner and a football player in the NFL are so similar.

Except today’s coal-burning power plants in the USA aren’t the plants that spew a long list of pollutants—including oxides of sulfur—like it was as little as 40 years ago. Today’s coal-fired power plants emit very little emissions, thanks to strict emission control rules imposed between the 1970’s to 1990’s.

Jon Stewart is an arrogant, self-absorbed, left-wing, elitist, sanctimonious, ass-hat who is nowhere NEAR as funny as he thinks he is.

Meeting?

Ok. I thought maybe you had mistakenly typed an “m” instead of a “b”.

Yes, coal miners are completely alien beings to the crowd of self-loving sycophants in Hollywood. They actually WORK for a living, aren’t leeches, and don’t support liberal/left policies that screw their fellow Americans. Coal miners would NEVER fit in with Stewart and his fellow airheads in Hollywood.

Liberals are all about the "working man" in a general, abstract way.

But when it comes to what actually matters to a working man, they couldn't care less.

John Stewart is a “comedian”? Since when?

I guess the irony of him sending this tweet using power by coal-generated electricity escapes him.

I’d advise him to stay out of taverns in West Virginia unless he wants to get his a** whooped.

"Coal miners would NEVER fit in with Stewart and his fellow airheads in Hollywood."

Agreed, but they keep electing union leadership that supports much of the mantra of the Hollywood airheads.

You know what will be more funny than Jon Stewart’s nasty jokes about coal miners? When the couple of them who still vote Democrat finally wake up and vote Republican and boot the last couple Democrats in West Virginia and the other mountain, coal-mining states out of office.
