But... But they made fun of US! (Paging Lagomorph)

Didn't feel like finding the proper place to reply, so sorries to anyone this bothers.

If you're concerned about people like Jon Stewart making fun of your protests... it's not cause they're the big bad leftist media... it's because protests are inherently funny

A clip from early in the Iraq War:

Stewart: On Saturday, a 100,000 strong peace march descended on Washington seeking to crystallize America's dissatisfaction with the war into one single idea. Clip of young male speaker: Peace! Stewart: Okay. Clip of male speaker: Justice! Stewart: (pause) Fine. Clip of male speaker: Environmental protection! Stewart: (pause, confused look on face) Clip of male speaker: No racism! Stewart: (dumb-founded, and then says in Valley Girl-like voice) Dude! I didn't hike from Oberlin for this.

 

Seriously, the man makes jokes. It is okay to laugh.

Yeah, there's little I like better than some sweet snarky skewered Libertarianism.

Of course, if you don't like it, you could always go complain in the comments over there.

Anyone who invokes Frank Frazetta

Anyone who invokes Frank Frazetta is all right by me.  That was a great, fun read - definitely my style.  Thanks for sharing, Earthling!
