Jon Stewart Takes on Betsy McCaughey Originator of Death Panels

Betsy McCaughey (pronounced McCoy) originated the "death panel" idea that Sarah Palin turned into wildfire on Facebook. Ugh. Jon Stewart takes on Betsy, but much too late for many old folks who firmly believe the emails this woman has spread around. Here is the site where all the loony tunes now derive their information about health reform.
Jon Stewart demonstrates that wingnuts only see what they believe. I wish someone would ask one of these folks: why is the Obama administration interested in killing people? Do they honestly believe Obama just wants to kill old people to save money? McCaughey's nutty.

Jon Stewart Puts His Spin On Obama Cheney Speeches

Jon Stewart starts by poking fun at the media's gleefulness that the speeches were on the same day and nearly at the same time! 
If you're like me and couldn't bear to watch the grumpy and irrelevant man growl, this is a good way to watch the speech. Who didn't already know what he was going to say?
If you ask me, Cheney is playing the ultimate fear mongering game with the American people. He's setting us up, psychologically, to say I told you so, in the event of another terrorist attack. It's clear to me, given the fact that too many Americans believe that torture is okay, Americans are still susceptible to fear mongering. Our troops may be brave but as a people, we've proven not so much. Many of us have realized we were bombarded with fear tactics for 8 long years, but many are still fearful. If there ever is a terrorist attack, you can count on republicans to use it to their advantage to try and resuscitate their weak little party.

Fox Revolts Against Obama Video

If you haven't seen the Jan. 22 episode of The Daily Show, it's total genius and you need to watch. Jon Stewart shows a series of clips of Fox's commentary during Obama's second day in office. Pretty dim. Somehow we have to bring the Fox crowd up to speed. Rush Limbaugh is under the assumption that he's supposed to "drink the Kool-Aid" because Obama's black. Clown. Stewart puts Bill O'Reilly in his place. You can watch it here.
