[Editor’s Note: Today NewsBusters publisher and Media Research Center founder Brent Bozell publicly dared The Daily Show host Jon Stewart to desecrate either the Koran or the Torah on national television in the same manner he offended millions of American Christians by portraying the Nativity as an accessory for female genitals. Bozell makes the challenge well aware that Stewart’s brand of “comedy” applies only to liberal-approved anti-Christian bigotry.]
Come on, Jon. We dare you to prove you are an equal opportunity bigot. Your grotesque stunt displaying a Nativity scene in a vulgar manner to take a jab at Fox News is but the latest in a long line of unacceptable behavior and hypocrisy when it comes to the media’s treatment of traditional Christianity. Doing something similar with the Koran or the Torah is equally offensive. Since you’re so brave to offend Christians, are you equally brave to offend Muslims and Jews? We dare you.
Will. Never. Happen.
The jab was at the schizophrenic holy virgin/whore attitude that a lot of people seem to have toward women. The Koran or Torah have nothing to do with Stewart’s admittedly crudely made point.
Of course, it would take properly functioning brain to figure that out.
Yawn! Brent Bozell needs to get a life or a really nice hobby.
@Hard Right:
Why?
Because, while everyone is equal Jonathan Stuart Leibowitz knows that some are more equal than others.
Why?
Because Jonathan Stuart Leibowitz knows that a single fatwā may well terminate the Jon Stewart Show
… not to mention it may well terminate Jon Stewart.
@Greg:
Greg, if ever there were an entire organized ”religion” that institutionalized women as whores unless they were compliant slaves to daddy then hubby, it is Islam.
Remember Islam means ”submission.”
Also remember (or learn) that the entirety of a female is considered to be a sex organ by Islam.
Covering it all is not always enough.
It cannot go outside unless accompanied by an owner or his surrogate.
It can be killed by its owner without any violation of the religion.
There might be governmental consequences, but not always.
@Greg:
Let us know when you have a properly functioning brain, greg. The same goes for Ron.
@Ron H.:
Three differences between Mel Gibson and Jon
athan Stuart LeibowitzStewart come to mind:1) Unlike Jon Stewart, no one is likely to call Mel Gibson a coward,
2) Unlike Jon Stewart, Mel Gibson’s work involving religious iconography has been empirically demonstrated to have reduced religious bigotry, and
3) Unlike Jon Stewart, Mel Gibson just might not be a religious bigot when he is sober.
That said, if there is a place for Abe Foxman, of the ADL, in the Public Square there is certainly a place there too for Brent Bozell.
Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaawn! It’s a comedy show, if you don’t like it turn the channel. Brent Bozell is a crybaby. Maybe he should watch some old George Carlin videos as I’m sure there are plenty of jokes for him to get angry about. Or perhaps Lenny Bruce. Gimme a break with all this whining.
Hard Right: Whatever coward. Crawl back in your hole where you are safe.
@Ron H.:
If the issue bores you Ron why did you waste time on posting not one response but two?
Moreover, if the issue truly bore you Ron, why did you twice single out Brent Bozell and post a degrading dismissal of someone challenging Jon
athan Stuart LeibowitzStewart’s overt religious bigotry?For Jon
athan Stuart LeibowitzStewart and other Progressive celebrities it has become standard practice for them to hide behind their role as comedians when they are engaging in Saul Alinsky style attacks upon those with whom they disagree about political and social matters.Ron H.
YOU ARE ALREADY IN THAT CRACK, IT FIT YOU LIKE A RAT WOULD FIT IN.
JOHN STEWART DOESN’T HAVE THE GUTS TO DO IT,
HE ONLY PICK ON THE TOLERANT CHRISTIANS, WHAT DO YOU CALL THOSE GUYS,
WHO DISPLAY BRAVADO ON THEIR SHOW, GOOD TO ATTACK THE VALUES OF THE AMERICA THEY MAKE MONEY FROM,
BUT GIVE THEM A CHALLENGE, AND THEY FREAKE OUT SHAKING IN THEIR PANTS,
YOU DONT WANT TO BRING THEM IN WARZONE, THEY COULD SELL YOU TO THE ENEMIES.
@ilovebeeswarzone:
One may plumb anthropological depth in the behavior of Jon
athan Stuart LeibowitzStewart and other Progressive celebrities. While the selection of a scapegoat at the extremis is ultimately arbitrary, in everyday life people prefer scapegoats with certain qualities and characteristics. Targets for potential scapegoating who are perceived as being unlikely to retaliate and especially unlikely to retaliate and to escalate are preferentially chosen. This is one of several reasons why the Nazis chose Jews as preferred targets for scapegoating in the early 20th century. The fact that American Christians are unlikely to slit Jonathan Stuart LeibowitzStewart’s throat in retaliation is perhaps the foremost reason they are targeted for hatred and vilification by Jonathan Stuart LeibowitzStewart and other Progressive celebrities.Let me say up front that I don’t know Ron H., nor am I sufficiently acquainted with his commentary to have an informed opinion of him. However I can observe that Ron H. did in this instance chose an enabling role. In any effective scapegoating the role of 3rd parties is very important. There is the accuser. There is the accused (the target), the potential scapegoat. And there is the community as a whole. To effectuate an effective scapegoating the accuser must isolate his target and act in such a way that the community shares his accusation of the accused. If the accuser is successful, the community as a whole quickly murders or otherwise expels the scapegoat from the community. If an advocate however steps forward to defend the accused the accusation, the scapegoating may fail. Thus if the scapegoating is to succeed the advocate must be marginalized or perhaps chosen a substitute scapegoat target.
In the role of advocate Brent Bozell stepped forwarded to defend the accused. Ron H.’s behavior appears to be consistent with marginalization of that defender so that the scapegoating mechanism may proceed toward its
deadlyconclusion.Mike O’Malley
hi,
yes, it sound to me like the bully in school bus choosing younger kids and slapping the kid who is not even looking at him, that bully feel good to show he is the strongest one in the bus, and the driver is not being aware of it by the other kids which outnumber the bully, it take only one of them to yell to the bus driver, or get up and run in the front to tell, but the kids have learn to be coward like the bully, by association,
which mean they agreed with the bully, they should be taught to be of courage is always brigning admiration from the other, as oppose to the stupid bully bring only hate,
many words are bullied as well as actions,
bye
@ilovebeeswarzone:
Yep, the mechanism is deeply rooted in human nature.
In some situations it is likely the passive observers enjoy the abuse and humiliation beaten into the victim.
Hey Mikey:
Jon Stewart is a comedian and I have watched him mock numerous religions as well as religious institutions so spare me your phony righteous indignation. I read your above post and I must say you take yourself way to seriously. IT’S COMEDY…..get over it!
Ron H.
THERE IS A FINE LINE A COMEDIAN SHOULD NOT CROSS, between funny and nasty,
and it seem that JOHN STEWART DOES,BY TAKING ON CHRISTIANS AT THIS TIME WHERE THEY ARE
TAKEN OUT OF WHERE THEY USE TO DO SOME GOOD DEED IN MANY PLACES,
CROWDED BY THOSE WHO REPRESENT THE PROPAGANDA OF THE WHITE HOUSE,
AND TO MAKE FUN OF THEM NOW IS VERY SARCASTIC, AND A PUBLIC PERSON LIKE JOHN STEWART SHOULD NOT NEED US TO REMIND HIM OF WHAT IS GOING ON IN MANY PART OF THE COUNTRY,
THE COMMUNIST DON’T WANT THE CHRISTIANS AROUND THEM, THEY SEE THEM AS A THREAT,
TO THEIR AGENDA,SAME AS THE OBAMA SAID THE CONSTITUTION IS IN HIS WAY, AS WELL AS THE FLAG, DON’T YOU GUYS SEE THAT, OR DO YOU FIND THE RISE OF COMMUNIST A JOKE?
TRY TO MAKE A JOKE ON IT. AND GET INFORM, BEFORE YOU WAKE UP WITH THE UN TAKING OVER THIS AMERICA HELP BY THIS GOVERNMENT.
THEN YOU WON’T BE ABLE TO JOKE ANYMORE,
@Ron H.:
Ron,
Do you have any examples of Jon Stewart skewering Islam?
And don’t lead with this NON-skewer of Islam:
Or the one where he created a Muslim Cosby Show.
Both of them are NOT skewerings of Islam so much as skewer attempts at anyone who might be the slightest bit critical of Islam.
@Ron H.:
Hey Ronny:
Jon
athan Stuart LeibowitzStewart is a committed Left-wing political activist. He makes his living in the entertainment business. No surprise there. With Jonathan Stuart LeibowitzStewart and other Progressive celebrities it has become standard practice for them to hide behind their role as comedians when they are engaging in Saul Alinsky style attacks upon those with whom they disagree about political and social matters. They do significant damage to decent Americans and then they hide behind their role of comedians. This has become a tried and true way for them to escape responsibility for the hate and bigotry they promote; and many of Jonathan Stuart LeibowitzStewart’s fans enjoy vilifying and mocking Christianity and they are all too eager and ready to enable the bigotry by barking on cue something like, “IT’S COMEDY…..get over it”. I have watched Jonathan Stuart LeibowitzStewart. He is actually funny. He is also much smarter many of his contemporaries. Nonetheless Jonathan Stuart LeibowitzStewart is a committed Left-wing political activist.Why the personal attack Ron?
I’ve observed that our New Atheists don’t like being called out for their bigotry. I hope you turn out to be a better man than that Ron.
Nan G:
I believe referring to “all Muslims as terrorists” would be considered a skewering. If this example is not sufficient I can provide others. Watch the entire clip….
Mikey:
Jon Stewart is a comedian first. He was doing stand up long before he was a POLITICAL SATIRIST! There is no “hiding” behind that label. It’s funny because Jon Stewart has been doing his this type of satire on the daily show since 1999 and in that time I have seen him poke fun at Democrats, Republicans, Christians, Jews, Muslims, gays, the royal family, race relations etc. To somehow suggest that now he’s a bigot using “Alinsky” tactics (and by the way come up with a different talking point than “Alinky style tactis ” as that has become trite) is so ridiculous on it’s face that you sound loony. Again I can show you clips of George Carlin making fun of religion and God, Chris Rock poking fun at white people, Louis CK making fun of women and gays, Greg Giraldo (who is white) making fun of blacks, Dennis Leary making fun of vegetarians and much much more. Where do you draw the line Mikey? I suppose all of the above comedians are bigots or maybe you just don’t have a sense of humor. Either way at the end of the day it is just comedy so quite taking it all so seriously geesh.
@Ron H.:
Aren’t you the guy who not too long ago had his pretty pink panties in a twist over something Rush Limbaugh did that you found offensive?
Why, yes, I believe you are.
Don’t look now, but your double standard is showing.
AYE
oh wow, this is a winner, I forgot about this but it is the counter balance absolute
you have a good memory
bye
Hey Aye:
You know you are just upset because I called you out on your “shortcomings”. Funny thing is you never refuted my assertion…….hmmmmm. I guess I was right then wasn’t I little guy. Yes Aye I have a double standard and you are right. You are always right even when you are wrong. I am only allowed to be upset or offended when you tell me it’s okay. By the way I haven’t received my list of “Things I am allowed to be offended by” from you for this week. Could you get that to me ASAP? Thanks a bunch tiny. Let’s have lunch soon….I remember your favorite food are those miniature hot dogs. I miss you Aye…call me!
Oh and tiny….er…. I mean Aye:
“had his pretty pink panties in a twist”……oh my someone is projecting. I’m flattered that when you think about me it’s wearing pink panties. Just so you know I’m not into men but I can appreciate that you might be. We should go hiking sometime maybe a week long trip in a cabin in the woods.
@Ron H.:
So what?
Jon
athan Stuart LeibowitzSteward engaged in sexually charged mockery of a religion he opposes, and a religion by the way which poses no threat to Jonathan Stuart LeibowitzSteward. Brent Bozell calls Jonathan Stuart LeibowitzSteward out on his cowardly and bigoted behavior, and what is your response Ron?Yes you facilitated Jon
athan Stuart LeibowitzSteward’s cowardly and bigoted behavior by mocking and debasing the advocate.For Jon
athan Stuart LeibowitzStewart and other Progressive celebrities it has become standard practice for them to hide behind their role as comedians when they are engaging in Saul Alinsky style attacks upon those with whom they disagree about political and social matters.@Aye:
“One of Shanklin’s most controversial works was his 2007 parody “Barack the Magic Negro”, in which he impersonates Al Sharpton lamenting that white voters will perceive Barack Obama as a “magic negro” and therefore favor Obama for president over him. This was based on a column titled “Obama The Magic Negro” by black columnist David Ehrenstein in the LA Times.” per Wikipedia
It seems that Paul Shanklin was a citizen first before he was a comedian …
Thank you for you worthy but sadly misguided comment Mr. Aye. 😉 You see no double standard is at play here because you see while all men are equal, some are more equal than others.
AYE
yes I remember that one about MICHELE BACHMANN INVITED IN A JIMMY FALLON SHOW WHERE THE MUSIC PLAYED AN OFFENSIVE TUNE,
IT WAS LYING ASS BITCH. AS SHE WAS WALKING TO THE CHAIR, THAT WAS VERY OFFENSIVE INDEED,
AND RON WAS TAKING AGAIN THE COMEDIAN SIDE INSTEAD OF ACKNOWLEDGING THE INSULT,
HE COMPARED IT TO RUSH LIMBAUGH TALKING ABOUT THE MAGIC NEGRO.
BYE
@ilovebeeswarzone:
The primary object of Paul Shanklin’s satire was the racialist credulity of Progressive Whites. In substance Paul Shanklin’s song was intended to have an anti-racialist affect. Paul Shanklin focused on the personage of a repulsive corrupt racial bigot whose demagoguery will have claimed lives of at least 9 Jewish, Hispanic, immigrant and White victims if Sharpton latest victim, Mr. Owens dies. Al Sharpton is not a suitable subject of social and political satire? One wonders why? Is it because Al Sharpton is BlacK? Is it because Al Sharpton has proven himself so valuable to the Progressive cause?
Yes, you see while all men are equal, some are more equal than others.
Mke O’Malley
yes I see, and I might add that SHARPTON IS RESPONSIBLE AT THIS TIME FOR INCITING THE TEENS BLACKS TO VIOLENCE NAMING TRAYVON WHILE BEATING AT 20 BLACKS TO ONE WHITE
WHO IS NOW unconscious at the hospital, this and other previous to it, SHARPTON NAME IS ON THOSE CRIMES AND OTHER TO COME.
ABOUT MICHELE BACKMANN MUSIC WAS AN OUTRAGE FROM THE BAND OF JIMMY FALLON
AND RON H. PLAYED IT DOWN BY GIVING ANOTHER EXCUSE OF RUSH IN THE MAGIC NEGRO THAT WAS TO DIVERT THE OUTRAGE FROM WHAT THE JIMMY FALLON SHOW DID TO MICHELE BACKMANN
BYE
Yeah Umm Mikey is there a particular reason you keep posting Jon Stewart’s name as “Jonathan Stuart Leibowitz Stewart” with a line drawn through it? Do you have a problem with Jews or their names? Just asking. And enough with the “Alinsky” bullshit I have never read his books much less heard of him until the right wingers brought him up. You sound like one of those conspiracy theorists who thinks 9/11 was an inside job. Brent Bozwell’s outrage is so selective it isn’t even funny. He only goes after people on the left and gives a free pass to anyone on the right that spews hatred. His hypocricy is stunning. I love how guys like you compare jokes to bigotry…wow what a sad little world you live in.
Oh and Mikey if you want to hear true bigotry then just listen to Rush Limbaugh…….which is why I found his playing the “Barack The Magic Negro” song so offensive. You see he is an actual bigot and not some made up bigot like Jon Stewart. You can always change the channel if you don’t like it tiger. Grrrrrrrrrrrrr
@Ron H.:
Just asking? No, you’re making a thinly veiled reciprocal charge in an attempt to impugn me as a religious bigot so as to deflect my criticism of Jon
athan Stuart LeibowitzStewart’s cowardly bigotry. I’d guess because you are displeased with the way I belled the cat.To the man and to the woman the Jews in my family don’t hide their Jewish identity behind a WASP stage name, and some have had notable entertainment industry careers. It seems odd that Jonathan Stuart Leibowitz would feel the need to do so in this day and age. It seems to me that particular ‘oddness’ in this day and age is due some healthy attention.
[I was wondering how long it would be before someone would ‘play’ that card]
@Ron H.:
“The song’s lyrics (for Barack the Magic Negro) sung in a voice impersonating of
a repulsive corrupt racial bigotof black activist and former presidential candidate Al Sharpton explicitly refer to Ehrensteins’ article:“Yeah, the guy from the L.A. paper
Said he makes guilty whites feel good
They’ll vote for him, and not for me
‘Cause he’s not from the hood.
In the song, Sharpton’s impersonated voice is made to sound as if coming from a bullhorn, a satirical nod to his well-known participation in street protests.”
R-A-C-I-S-T! Yeah if you stare at those words long enough they look like the KKK, or Elvis or something.
But thanks for the tu quoque argument, Ron!
Ain’t it just great to have Rush around? Why if it weren’t for Rush he’d have to be invented! Such a useful device when one needs to evade responsibility for the cowardly bigotry of Jon
athan Stuart LeibowitzStewart … and his enablers …@Ron H.:
Barack the Magic Negro lives in D.C.
The L.A. Times, they called him that
‘Cause he’s not authentic like me.
Yeah, the guy from the L.A. paper
Said he makes guilty whites feel good
They’ll vote for him, and not for me
‘Cause he’s not from the hood.
See, real black men, like Snoop Dog,
Or me, or Farrakhan
Have talked the talk, and walked the walk.
Not come in late and won!
[refrain]
Oh, Barack the Magic Negro, lives in D.C.
The L.A. Times, they called him that
‘Cause he’s black, but not authentically.
Oh, Barack the Magic Negro, lives in D.C.
The L.A. Times, they called him that
‘Cause he’s black, but not authentically.
Some say Barack’s “articulate”
And bright and new and “clean.”
The media sure loves this guy,
A white interloper’s dream!
But, when you vote for president,
Watch out, and don’t be fooled!
Don’t vote the Magic Negro in –
‘Cause — ’cause I won’t have nothing after all these years of sacrifice
And I won’t get justice.
This is about justice.
This isn’t about me, it’s about justice.
It’s about buffet.
I don’t have no buffet and there won’t be any church contributions”
R-A-C-I-S-T!
Just like the KKK, or Elvis or something.

Thank you for the video link Mr. Aye. I finally had an opportunity to enjoy it. It seems so well done, so on point and so innocuous. One wonders whether its critics were paranoid and/or cynical.

you did it again, find the needle in the stack hay,
as you always did, you even came in with an ALIEN, one day

Wow………you are truly a legend in your own mind. Thank God you have the interwebs to make you feel so important….otherwise you would just be, well what you are……………..ordinary. Maybe you could start your own blog about Jews who change their names to a “WASP” stage name since you seem so obsessed by Jon Stewart’s name.
I want to snuggle with you and make you feel all special and stuff.
