yeah, Stewart wasn't even that mean to him. He just said his comic wasn't funny.

By the way, this is how a nationally syndicated conservative newspaper comic responded to Stewart's ribbing in 2006

Mallard Filmore comic strip from 2006.

Frame one:
Bald man with glasses: "Who Cares if Jon Stewart used a fake "Mallard Fillmore" comic strip in his book?"
Mallard: "The problem is that he tried to deceive people into thinking it was a real one!...
Frame 2:
Mallard: "...whereas when this comic strip puts words into people's mouths, he signs it down there so you know they didn't really say stuff like:"

Frame 3:
antisemitic caricature of Jon Stewart: "I didn't fake that cartoon! It was one of the drunken, underage boys at my sleepover!"

And some of the examples in this thread I hadn't seen before but you could've gotten the gist of how fucking insane Bush era right wing media was just by watching The Daily Show lol. This was not secret information, people were actively documenting it in the mainstream at the time.

IMO the occam's razor explanation for why politically aware people who lived through these times rewrite it in their head is simple. It's privilege. This shit didn't stick with them because it didn't bother them all that much because it didn't affect them.

I had to tear myself away from the game tonight for a while, and I turned it back on again just in time to see Crochet give up his first hit in 17 ABs, so I shut it off and didn't turn it back on again. So, you're welcome. 😆

"There are certain ideas that only work as a pitch"

And meanwhile the pitch makes me want to launch myself at him through the screen like in Channel Chasers

SaskSachawon @stewiegriffindj.bsky.social · 26d

Even pre-allegations, Max Landis should've been thrown in prison for forming this idea in his brain. That he could formulate a concept this fucking stupid and have the gall to say it out loud with zero irony implies a terribly malformed and twisted psyche.

You're telling me the guy who makes the music in those sad Simpsons edits (allegedly) killed a kid???

‘I Was Wrong About Charlie Kirk’: Six Conservative Students on His Killing

there are people on my college campus who would cheer if someone like me, a young person who openly expresses my traditional Christian beliefs and right-wing political views, were murdered.

The response from most politicians to the tragic news has been to call for unity and condemn political violence. But vague calls for unity and bipartisanship are not good enough. I cannot be in “unity” with people on the left who condone and justify terrorism against Christians and conservatives. There is no “uniting” with the people who want my friends and me dead because we refuse to be silent about our convictions.

A functional society cannot coexist with this destructive worldview.

"Strategy" really is the word of the season for guys who want to make an argument from your right without having to frame it in those terms. Ideology is just an opinion, but ask yourself, "what the fuck does this guy know about strategy?"

SaskSachawon @stewiegriffindj.bsky.social · Sep 11

could 500 more guys who look like Jake Doolittle please post instagram reels scolding the people Charlie Kirk dedicated his life to tormenting for reacting in a way they can't relate to

I'm really interested in their thoughts on "strategy" and how things "could get scary"
