Jon Stewart Scolds America For Liking Santorum, Attacks Catholics

[imamomzilla]

 

Jon Stewart told his audience on Monday that he was appalled that America would allow someone like Rick Santorum to be the frontrunner in the GOP nomination. He then went on a rant against Catholics reusing old, tired priest jokes to lecture his viewers about the nuances of the Obama administration's contraceptive mandate.

Says who?

 I rejected Santorum based on interviews I saw him have.  I saw his ideas about women and rejected him soundly. 

The Republicans don't have one person running who's electable in the general election.  Anyone decent sat this one out for fear of running against Obama.  Look to a better crop of candidates in four years.

I wonder what he would think if someone said something disparaging about jews.

And we wonder how we ended up with Obama.

So, I watched the clip, actually saw it last night, but wanted to refresh my memory. I didn't hear him attack Catholics. I did hear him take issue with the fact that they are still complaining even though the administration compromised and is allowing the various Catholic institutions to not have to cover BC, and pointing out the hypocrisy of the Catholic church. And, America should be scolded for putting Santorum out front like they have.

As for this is where the left gets its news. I get my news from a variety of places. Do you all remember that law a while back that got signed that effectively allows for the arrest of US citizens suspected of terrorism without regards to their Constitutional rights? The first place I heard that covered was on the Daily Show because Stewart covered it. If you actually watch the show, you would find amid the comedy, a lot of interesting news.

I watched the show last night and I didn't hear him attack Catholics, either.  Pointing out facts that don't necessarily show your side in a positive light isn't attacking them.

 Maybe it was the comment about funds being put aside for sexual abuse settlements that's got them all kerfuffled? That's not an attack, that's a fact. It's not pretty, but it's not an attack, unlike, idk...comparing liberals to screaming babies or questioning their faith?
