Jon Stewart rants about 'Romney campaign headquarters,' aka Fox News

[hammersxstrings]

If the Mitt Romney campaign hoped the leaked video of his ill-considered remarks at a May fundraiser would be a one-night story … well, it was mistaken. But Fox News came away with as many woes as the candidate when Jon Stewart was done with his “Daily Show” monologue Wednesday night.

I don't even know what the Romney campaign is trying to accomplish with that video of then State Senator Barack Obama. "OH NOES HE'S TALKING ABOUT REDISTRIBUTING WEALTH OH NOES!!!!!!!"

Slightly tangential, but did anyone watch Ted Koppel's segment on Rock Center tonight?

someone brought up on facebook that it's stupid to bring up videos of president obama from 14 years ago, because if we go back 14 years in MITTEN'S history, we would see him talking about being pro-choice, pro-ban on assault weapons, pro-alternative energy, etc, and god forbid we remember when he was basically a liberal!

Sadly, some people are listening. My mother brought this up to me last night on the phone and I had to end the conversation to salvage our relationship. I don't understand why she thinks that's a bad thing, considering our family was always part of that lower middle class that Romney grouped into the "losers" category. But she's still part of that "socialism bad!" generation.

personally speaking, i wouldn't let my mother off -or anyone else i care about- to believe such fictitious things. Even if it causes an argument! And this has happened...

JStew appeared actually angry. It was a thing of beauty!

[shortsweetcynic]

i noticed that too. like all of sudden his face changed and i went "oh...you're really pissed." GOOD, SO AM I.

[dearmisterecho]

yeah, there was no smirk during this segment, it was actually pretty refreshing...reminded me of his epic "Crossfire" smackdown

[dorawa]

loved this, watched it earlier today! he seemed legitimately angry/upset by the time he was done talking... but i was super pissed too, so i approve.

I headdesked so hard during the part where one guy said " “I’ve been on food stamps and welfare. Did anybody help me? No.”

[stellar_kar]

omg I haven't watched it yet...how can people not realize what they're saying is so hypocritical?

Craig T. Nelson is the gift that keeps on giving.

My mouth literally dropped open when I heard that.

[chimbleysweep]

I cannot with Craig T Nelson. WEREN'T HELPED WHILE YOU WERE ON FOOT STAMPS AND WELFARE, EH?

Must have been the Poltergeist curse.

[homasse]

"Foot stamps" is officially my favorite typo.

[chimbleysweep]

I legitimately could not bring myself to edit. Craig and feet just seem to be harmonious.

They're what you get when you put your foot in your mouth rather than food.
