The four die-hard Redskins fans thought the opportunity was as golden as the vintage helmets of their favorite football team: The Daily Show with Jon Stewart wanted them to appear on the Comedy Central program to defend the teams name, which has been under relentless attack.
The Redskins Nation citizens eagerly signed up, most of them knowing that they might be mocked in their interview with correspondent Jason Jones. But several hours into the Sept. 13 taping of the yet-to-air episode, the fans, all from Virginia, said they were suddenly confronted by a larger group of Native American activists all of whom were in on the showdown prearranged by The Daily Show.

Stewart strikes me as a depressed, miserable bitch.
If Jon Stewart has good instincts, he will not air this segment. It will not be funny. Most Americans do not mind the name Redskins, or even like it. This will be a dud burger.
The Daily Show epitomizes elite smug liberals.
Nancy Pelosi would call it Pre-Cut Astro-Turf.
John Stewart behaved dishonorably. I’m shocked.
It’s the liberals who are offended and that is his target audience. Liberals only use minorities as props..
The two groups should have gotten together and scalped Stewart.
I’m going to start a b*tching campaign over saltines being called “crackers”. I’m going to sue Nabisco et al for their rayciss use of “cracker”.
White liberals will do any and everything to manipulate the American people. Jon Stewart and the rest of his snotty, elitist friends don’t give two cents about Native Americans. It’s another wedge issue they can use the rile up non-white groups to vote for and stay enslaved to the Democratic Party. For years and years no one ever gave a rip about the Redskin name but here come the white liberals to stir up the racial pot and this is where we are today.
I will continue my life-long boycott of casinos in solidarity with you.
Stewart is playing with fire. He seems to have a touch of Robespierre in him. Mob mongering is a dangerous business.
I still vote for calling them the Thinskins.
Aww the fan was upset, boo-hoo.
Want to dress up in silly gear and antagonize people, don’t be surprised when they opsuh back, honey.
They really think its news. Unbelievable.
Typical lib, exploiting people for their skin color. That’s like taking your big black friend with you if you think there’s gonna be a fight.
I’m just curious: how many white people are members of Indian tribes?
None?
And they want to lecture us about racism?
The numbskulls went on the Daily Show.
What did they expect to happen?
