Our side is also quick to condemn anybody who isnt 100% behind every issue as a “leftist”.

Jon Stewart is a satirist. Satirists are out to ridicule everybody. The better ones disguise their own political viewpoints (which are no ones concern but themselves anyway) and point up not messages, but how those messages are presented.

It’s the job of Conservatives and Climate realists to convince people that AGW is, literally, a lot of hot air, not Stewart’s.

Satirists aren’t some super breed who can float magically over the fray; they’ve gotta’ be coming from somewhere. Satire isn’t even possible absent a personal sense of right and wrong that, in the end, is shared by the audience. EVERYBODY, Jon Stewert included, has a duty to tell the truth.

If you think Jon Stewart ridicules everyone equally, you either haven’t watched his show or are deaf and blind.

As for the comment about people not being behind every issue 100% of the time, what about people who tell you to your face twice or more a day how much they disagree with you? Can we call them leftists?
