On The Daily Show last night, Jon Stewart slammed Michael Steele over his claims that white Republicans are scared of him.
"I don't think they're afraid of you because you're black. I think they're afraid of you because of the stupid sh*t you say on television."
The Daily Show then explored racial issues raised by Steele and attempted to answer a strange question broached by CNN: Is blackface ever OK?
Here's the video.

John Stewart, the modern Will Rogers. You can't dismiss the truth and he goes after it with a vengeance. We need more than just comedy central, no offence CS .

Ahhhhh...but, it's so much easier to get some Right Wing Whacko to watch something on Comedy Central than it is to get them to watch CNN, MSNBC, etc. I lure them in with "Jon Stewart is a humorous commentator. He's funny. You'd like him."
And then, a miracle happens. They start thinking.

But white Republicans are scared of Steele. They're afraid of all black men.

Jon Stewart is doing a job no one else will touch. Someone should assemble all the tapes from when he has straight out gone after some evil doer: bow-tied dweeb Tucker Carlson, that annoying, screaming stock analyst, the serial liar Betsy McCaughey (who else??? who am I forgetting???)
