Jon Stewart Tweets: Coal Miners Are Self-Destructive Morons

Comedian (and climate change advocate)  Jon Stewart seems to think vanishing coal jobs that force miners to find new jobs “is funny”.  So funny in fact, he thinks they should go and work for the NFL….because, you know, being a coal miner and a football player in the NFL are so similar.

He has a movie opening today — “Rosewater.” Maybe people should boycott it.

I guess he missed the little obligatory ‘sit down’ all Liberals have with Big Labor...

Some coal miners in Kentucky are in fact morons. While driving through south east Kentucky to view the fall foliage, I witnessed lots of signs UMWA members for Grimes.

Grimes was the avowed anti coal senate candidate and the UMWA is 100% coal miners

thanks to strict emission control rules imposed between the 1970’s to 1990’s.

The reduction in emissions was thanks to an inventive spirit Americans possess.

Although the catalyst, Big Government is the bad guy in the story.

I hope one day John will eat his words as his power goes out to his multi-million $ condo or mansion because of the rolling blackouts his political views will cause in the near future.

These idiots are playing with fire when they play the propaganda game not knowing the full consequences of their views or actions. There are plenty of clean coal methods out there being used, but they’ve been hoodwinked to think it’s all “bad”.....If it was why is Brazil, Mexico, India and China buying up all of our surplus coal?

We could be energy independent if we fully used our own supply, but our commie politicians won’t have it.

Coalminers have more courage in a pinky fingernail molecule that everyone of these leftists put together.

That's because they've been listening to this guy.

After the election I read some op-ed taking coal country to task for voting Republican, the usual “they voted against their own interest” garbage but taken up to 11. Really really arrogant stuff, especially considering that the left wants to put them out of work.

“That would be saying Rosie O’Donnell is an actress!”

As a kid I loved her in “Lancealot Link Secret Chimp” and the way she would scream LANCE! LANCE! LANCE! every time she got into trouble and needed Lance to save her.

Great acting, almost looked human.

Remember when coal miners were the one of the Left's biggest causes? But apparently wealthy white homosexuals are so much more chic this year.

Honestly, Karl Marx himself would not recognize today's Left.

What doesn’t that faggedy little candy-ass go up to the coal-mining towns in PA, WV or some other coal state and squawk those words there?

Chickensh*t.
