Speaking to a college audience in Boston, Mass. Friday, "Daily Show" host Jon Stewart used his stand-up routine to respond to Sarah Palin's comments about "pro-America" parts of the country, shedding the profanity restrictions that govern his Comedy Central show.
"She said that small towns, that's the part of the country she really likes going to because that's the pro-America part of the country. You know, I just want to say to her, just very quickly: [expletive] you," Stewart said to raucous applause.
Palin addressed a North Carolina fund-raiser Thursday night saying, "We believe that the best of America is not all in Washington, D.C. We believe...that the best of America is in these small towns that we get to visit, and in these wonderful little pockets of what I call the real America, being here with all of you hard working very patriotic, very pro-America areas of this great nation."
The comment was quickly picked up by media outlets and the Obama campaign, whose spokesman Bill Burton asked in an e-mail to reporters, "What part of the country isn’t pro-America?"
Stewart didn't let his own harsh language stop him from criticizing John McCain and Palin for divisiveness.
"I can't take it anymore...After eight years of this divisiveness, we're back to this idea that only small-town America is the real America," he said.
The Manhattan native accused the Republicans of "writing off whole swaths of the country," saying "cities are just a lot of towns piled on top of each other in one place. "
During the same routine, however, he seemed to write off Palin's rural swath of the country, referring to the governor's home not as Alaska, Wasilla, or Juneau, but as "the woods."

Uh...the blue counties.
Oh dear. Did Sarah strike a nerve, there, Jon?
I think Todd should have a man-to-girlie man ‘talk’ with Jon. Teach him some manners.
Well, Jon-Jon, when the big cities start voting like they care for America, that’s when I’ll believe they’re pro-American.
Sarah is right, big metros are usually full of America haters like you Stewart.
It’s all right for Obama to tell us how we should feel.
But it’s not all right for Gov. Palin to tell us how she feels.
Anyone backing the democratic party. Next question.
Who’s Jon Stewart?
It’s just amazing how one little woman has put the fear of G*D into these whiny liberals. The feminazis are jealous and the girly men are intimidated. Poor babies!!
Thus proving Governor Palin's point.
SHe’s really gotten under their skin because they thought thos was wrapped up in June. Todd Palin should totally go after Stewart on this.
Well, Jon, you certainly struck just the right, unifying note. "#&*K you" is so ... brilliant. Sheer nuance. We are forever in your debt.
Pansy.
He is definitely someone who got smacked around in high school.
“What part of the country isn’t pro-America?”
Oh I dunno....
Bill Ayers house might be a good place to look.
Hey stewart: In the upcoming Civil War that your side will initiate, just remember, the real America controls the geographical center, it’s vast resources, and its testosterone. Think twice about your own role in dividing this nation. Think twice about the disadvantages that will haunt your side in this division.
What are the actual demographics in number of non-citizens, non mainstream religions, active military,etc. make-up in the urban areas vs. the small towns? Does anyone know a good source for this information?
Sarah to Jon:
“You wish.”
Hey John...
Over the last five years, your side called our soldiers rapists, murderers, idiots. Every failure in Iraq, was met with downright giddiness. Your candidate said the surge would fail. The Democrat Speaker of the House stated it was the Iranians, not our soldiers, who were responsible for the success we’ve had there.
Your side has shown far more compassion to the prisoners in Gtmo than to the true American heroes who defend your right to spew your bile.
F*ck you Jon Stewart.
