Jon Stewart slams liberal stereotyping
By Tom Quiner
Jon Steward is the funniest liberal around.
I appreciate his integrity in acknowledging the terrible thing liberals have done to Donald Trump voters: stereotyping. Here’s an excerpt from his interview with Charlie Rose:
“I thought Donald Trump disqualified himself at numerous points. But there is now this idea that anyone who voted for him has to be defined by the worst of his rhetoric.
Like, there are guys in my neighborhood that I love, that I respect, that I think have incredible qualities who are not afraid of Mexicans, and not afraid of Muslims, and not afraid of blacks. They’re afraid of their insurance premiums. In the liberal community, you hate this idea of creating people as a monolith. Don’t look as Muslims as a monolith. They are the individuals and it would be ignorance. But everybody who voted for Trump is a monolith, is a racist. That hypocrisy is also real in our country.”
Liberals depend on identity politics for their survival. They use it as a weapon to club dissenters into submission using the ugly tactic of political correctness. Donald Trump stood up to them … and won.
If they don’t listen to Jon Stewart, they will lose even more seats in the 2018 elections.
Don’t care for his values, but good for him. Well said.
I hear you.
Saw this earlier today. Was impressed with his message.
Yes, me too.
How unusual. A liberal who actually applies the philosophy of the left TO the left? It’s the 1st nonemotional thing I’ve heard come out of a liberal in a very long time. I wonder if his career as liberal mouth piece is now endangered.
I doubt it.
Yeah, that’s about right. I heard on FOX some Dem was kicking around the idea of Chelsie running for Washington office. They talked about how qualified she is. LOL! These people just dont know when to let anything go including Stewart.
You are so right.
I recall reading an article on… the Huffington Post? It was titled, “A Confession of Liberal Intolerance,” and I could hardly believe what I was reading. I suggest looking it up.
I will. Thanks for the tip.
