Jon Stewart: You Can’t Blame Political Rhetoric For What Happened In Tucson
The opening part of last night’s Daily Show was more serious than usual given the circumstances, but I think Jon Stewart may have the smartest reaction of anyone to the tragedy in Arizona:

“I wouldn’t blame our political rhetoric anymore than I would blame heavy metal music for Columbine. And that is coming from someone who truly hates our political environment”
Say what you will about Jon Stewart but that is about the smartest thing that anyone on television has said about this in the past 72 hours.
Ya, well, Beck’s was a little better.
“Ya, well, Beck’s was a little better.”
Perhaps you’d share Beck’s whatever with those of us who’re reluctant to visit the plague zone, GA.
I agree, we shouldn’t blame political rhetoric for what has happened. But we shouldn’t defend it either.
I’m not sure that the “political environment” doesn’t share some blame for this. It’s hard to know what makes a lunatic like this snap.
@G.A.Phillips Do you feel better now? Who gives a crap who’s “was better?” Clearly, Stewart is making a point — a valid point. Maybe Beck’s was delivered better (doubtful, but i suppose there’s the CHANCE) or whatnot, but can you not just agree with what he’s saying? Do you really need to be so negative?
He’s wrong, of course.

I responded, is there some pc way you want me to have done it to make you, feel better?
Beck could have a video of himself pissing in GA’s mother’s mouth and GA would think its better than Jon Stewart.
Personally I liked both monologues. John really spoke from the heart, and I like the way Glenn challenged people for their better selves. Win-Win.
This is the fool that G.A.Phillips defends so mightily…
