Ah, yes, saw this on facebook. Tripe.

Has anyone considered the fact that maybe, just maybe, Jon Stewart believes in democracy to some degree or another, knows he's a role model, and genuinely doesn't want young adults holding him up as a paragon of anti-voting?

No? What'd you say? He's just a fucking tool of the evil state? Okay.

I don't have a single bit of patience for Stewart or Colbert or the class of ignorant liberal ideologues they're raising -- and I have even less patience for voting -- but I have, with one exception, essentially negative patience for C4SS. Some ideologues are even worse than others and your particular brand has worn out its nonexistent-to-begin-with welcome in my god damn brain.

Also, I'd expect the an-caps of all people to understand that Jon Stewart is a brand, and the things he does have monetary repercussions (is that not all you care about?) far greater than any George Carlin was ever responsible for.

Oh, and, vis à vis Truman? Learn some history (real history, from historians, not the idiots who line your echo chamber) and learn not to make absolutist statements with the safety blanket of hindsight.
