Jon Stewart destroys Glenn Beck

I have some conservative friends, but thankfully they all realize what a bag of dicks Glenn Beck is. We still get into ridonkulous arguments though
Conservatives who hate Glenn Beck are Conservatives worth talking to, imo.
For that matter, conservatives who watch Stewart (or at least think he's funny) are also worth talking to
I seriously don't give a fuck what Jon Stewart or Glenn Beck says, thinks & does.
Your loss. The Daily Show seriously is one if the best things on tv at the moment, period.

And a lot of people use the show to think for them!
Could make a worse choice for that too.
Actually, those of us who watch The Daily Show have already done our thinking. I watch it to get a good laugh.I seriously don't give a fuck what Jon Stewart or Glenn Beck says, thinks & does.

I watch both. I learn things. For instance, last Thursday on Colbert I learned from a "brilliant" Republican strategist (Mary Matalin) that Jesus preached "if you don't work, you don't eat."
I haven't seen this, but honestly, I sincerely doubt Glenn Beck can be parodied. He's just so innately silly I think it's hard to top Glenn Beck doing Glenn Beck. The man is the most frightening thing I've seen on television, ever - I can't help but laugh.
We are talking about the itinerant vagabond who supposedly handed out miraculous free food, yes?

Check it out, it's RIPE for parody, for the right comic.

The dramatic gestures, the pomposity dressed as gravity, the self importance dressed up in everyman clothes and ridiculously unsupported connections glossed over with some slight of hand and knowing his core audience. Especially their fears and prejudices.

I don't know if it's me or if he's really changed, but I feel like Colbert shouts a lot more than he used to, and it kind of grates on me.

Colbert seemed to think she was deeply confused by when He said, "You have been fishermen, but I will make you fishers of men," as she attempted to attribute "Give a man a fish, he eats for a day, teach a man to fish, he eats for life" to Christ, which she then boiled down to, "you don't work, you don't eat."
In point of fact, "Give a man a fish..." is actually a Chinese proverb.
Well, yes, I do believe that was who she was talking about ... Much to Colbert's surprise...I haven't seen this, but honestly, I sincerely doubt Glenn Beck can be parodied. He's just so innately silly I think it's hard to top Glenn Beck doing Glenn Beck. The man is the most frightening thing I've seen on television, ever - I can't help but laugh.

Well that explains it. She had to say it was Jesus, imagine the scandal if she had credited the communists.For instance, last Thursday on Colbert I learned from a "brilliant" Republican strategist (Mary Matalin) that Jesus preached "if you don't work, you don't eat."

Is that attributed to Christ? Isn't that Book of the Bible one of Paul's letters?

Plenty of people in watch The Daily Show to get their thinking handed to them as plenty of others watch Fox for the same.
Colbert knows the Bible very well as the old Catholic he is. He's often quoted religious rhetoric from memory.
a) I disagree. Stewart doesn't really make statements, he primarily makes fun of nonsense other people say and do and asks questions.
b) He is far more intelligent and objective than anything I've ever seen from FNC.
Stewart simply doesn't "hand out" talking points like Fox does.
