Stewart Destroys The Right On Gun Control: We Can’t Do Anything Because You Fear ‘Imaginary Hitler'



VIDEO here: http://www.mediaite.com/tv/jon-stewart-destroys-the-right-on-gun-control-we-cant-do-anything-because-you-fear-imaginary-hitler/


Tonight on The Daily Show, the ever-subtle Jon Stewart took on the topic of the right’s response to gun control in the wake of the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting in Newtown, Connecticut. “Finally, everybody is ready to talk about gun violence,” he said. “Nothing is off the table, no bad idea, it’s a safe space. Let’s start the discussion on gun control.” -snip-

It is sad that Alex Jones and the rest of the of the wingnut, gun-happy lunatics need any parody. Their own paranoia is reason enough to take their firearms from them.

Stewart is your man.

We cannot escape a dystopic present because of the fear of a few of us of a dystopic future.

There ya go. Feels like I just left the sauna.

What citizens who are not politicians or lobbyists or employers of lobbyists fear has precious little to do with what government does or doesn't do anymore.

I am surprised and disappointed that Stewart obscured that reaity.
