[UndauntedD]

1. Thank you Jon Stewart!

Thank you.

[orleans]

2. jon was great tonight. n/t

[jgraz]

3. Is anyone else noticing that these reich-wingers go pretty soft with Stewart?

Bill Kristol was another example of this. He seemed to soften his rhetoric, add more qualifiers and basically took a defensive, almost submissive attitude with Stewart.

[Adsos Letter]

4. It's difficult for cowardly bullies....

to be as confrontational when they are in the direct presence (live and unedited) of someone with the mental stature and cojones to take them on to their face.

I will admit, however, that, not having seen this Hayes fellow before, he seemed much more reasonable than most of the others...liar though he may be...

[The Backlash Cometh]

13. That's 'cuz they're pussy-whipped.

To paraphrase Bill Kristol.

[Hamlette]

31. It's because Jon gets 2 hours a week on TV....the bullies only go against ppl who can't give it back

[liberal N proud]

5. Mr. Hayes, You have been smacked down by Jon Stewart

With a little help from the audience he handed Hayes is ass! Woohoo

[GCP]

6. What a complete wanker

Thank you Jon - excellent job!

[Epiphany4z]

7. I love John!

he is funny but I sometimes think he missed a more serious calling. He gets his point across........ Then again Humor gets through to a lot of people who other wise wouldn't be paying attention.

[Emerald]

8. Jon uses logic-kryptonite to neocon apologists

Stewart asks the basic questions our media should have asked in 2002, while we were being set up for the Iraq war. It is too late, of course, but at least history will record that Americans woke up.

Hayes only seemed mildly interested in arguing the points. He really couldn't get anywhere, what with Stewart's dastardly use of reason an logic.

[progressoid]

9. Damn, will have to watch this later

[ewagner]

10. That was Jon at his best

One of the things I like about Jon Stewert is that he SHOWS his emotions...

Last night, he was clearly disgusted with the book Cheney and set about confronting the author on his lies.....he did it brilliantly
\

Honestly I didn't think the audience was going to let Hayes get out of the studio alive!

[Dave From Canada]

19. Why would that Hayes guy not get out of the studio alive? For writing a book?

[VLC]

11. Obviously they didn't tell us it would be chaos or how much it would cost

for the same reason they sugar-coat pills.

[fed-up]

12. thank-you Jon -nt

[Bennyboy]

14. perfect just pefect.

If only we had more people like Jon that could take these guys on. Not mean, not belittling but right on point.

[Jack Rabbit]

15. !!

[Blue Belle]

16. He was fantastic last night!

I couldn't take my eyes away from the screen. I knew the smack-down was coming, but I didn't know the caliber. :)

John McCain is on the show tonight!

[YOY]

17. I think JS is leading to a point

There is no debate. You are and were wrong. You don't debate that. You admit you were wrong and correct things.

Neocon's have no logic here.

[colorado_ufo]

18. Super!

Hayes strikes me as someone who grabbed the chance to sell out, in exchange for money and his 15 minutes of fame, when he was offered access to Cheney.

The foundations of our country and our liberty are carried on the backs of people like Jon Stewart. They are our Patrick Henry's.

[underpants]

20. I was JUST about to post this

As cordial a new-hole-ripping on a rightwing douchebag as you will ever see

[FourScore]

21. JS at his finest!!!! K&R n/t

[xxqqqzme]

22. Last night was a prime example of Jon's talent.

He gets out the set of ginsu knives and goes to work. When he is finished, all their valueless morals and empty rhetoric are in little pieces at their feet.

[BeliQueen]

23. It's not weird...

that I keep watching this over and over again? I'm mean it's normal, right? ...To watch something so perfect again and again? I'm not crazy...am I? Nah.... LOL

It gets better and better with each viewing.

[Arugula Latte]

24. You can quit any time, right?

:D

[BeliQueen]

25. yeah yeah yeah yeah

I can quit anytime I want, but then my arm starts to itch. So I start the video again, and the itch goes away. Ahhhh--sweet relief.

But that's not because I'm addicted to the truth told to power and watching Jon so eloquently questioning and saying everything I've ever wanted to hear a news broadcaster say or question when they have interviewed the people who support this war and the Bush Administration.

When that 1994 Cheney clip was shown on the "Situation Room," the reporter quoted Cheney for the last word without a moment of follow-up. Seriously--with 135 all news channels, why is journalism dead? Oh wait, the answer to my question is in my question.

Oh dear--there's that itch again--gotta run. :-)

[BeliQueen]

26. going home now

today is the day I wish I had a video iPod so I could listen to this exchange over and over again while I'm on the train.

What Comedy Central should do is put out a compilation of video clips of Jon Stewart smack-downs--just for me.

See you guys on the flip side.

[DutchLiberal]

27. Jon kicked his sorry ass! Jon, you were great!!

:yourock:

[Metta]

28. Always good to see some apologist's pants taken off.

Good job, Jon. :thumbsup:

[MindMatter]

29. What a POS that guy is.

I understand why Cheney is who he is. It is about the power and the money -- aka the oil.

But this author is a moron. Only a complete idiot would try to defend Cheney. This is one of those times where there simply isn't another side to the story. None of the rationalizations this guy offered made any sense at all.

[BleedingHeartPatriot]

30. I'm constantly amazed as his ability to script and improvise seamlessly.

It's got to be nerve wracking to be in that chair next to him, although I've seen him be incredibly kind to the occasional awe struck guest who admires and understands the humor, but just knows he/she can't keep up with his repartee. He'll throw out a couple of zingers and then back off.

Unless they try to BS him. :-)

32. This turd has a thick skin...cause he never did get it.

I watched this clip tonight, and I couldn't believe this idiot was saying what he was saying, and then he manages to MISS the points that John tries to make with him. He is lost in denial and I think he must've had darth's thumb up his ass while he made his points and wrote his book...cause it sure as hell isn't complete or rational.
