Monday night, Jon Stewart of The Daily Show returned from a lengthy hiatus to spew his leftist take on the Michael Brown shooting in an incoherent, petulant diatribe that completely ignored all facts of the case and condemned a cop as guilty without a reasonable account of evidence.
The segment, titled "Race/Off," eloquently showed the depths of depravity Stewart will reach to ensure he feels better about himself, playing into the hands of an angry mob that would storm the barricades and murder a man in cold blood without any evidence of his guilt.
From the very outset, Stewart dishonestly introduced the events in Ferguson by saying the militarized police force arrived solely in response to peaceful protestors outraged over Brown's death. He made not one whit of a mention of the intense rioting, looting, and damage done to private property by the hands of some of these "protesters."
Stewart's lies got deeper as he played clip after clip of Fox News commentators stating what a majority of Americans feel: people are rushing to judgment, angry mobs are obstructing justice, and race has been overplayed. Stewart refuted all of their claims not by looking at the evidence that shows Michael Brown had robbed a convenience store 15 minutes before the altercation and the autopsy report illustrating he had been shot only in the front, but by repeating a now highly-questionable talking point that the unarmed Michael Brown had been shot with his hands up for no apparent reason at all. Did he provide evidence to underscore his claims? No.
Later in the segment, Stewart went off the rails as he tried to frame conservatives as hypocrites because of the outrage they showed over the "War on Christmas" this past winter. How angry mobs and looting over an unverified shooting had anything to do with religious folk angered by rampant political correctness made no sense; Stewart provided no examples of Christians burning down businesses and assaulting police over a Nativity scene.
Stewart concluded by pulling out a leftist staple; that black people suffer all day, every day, at the hands of a racist country out to get them.
"I guarantee you that every person of color in this country has faced an indignity," Stewart said. "From the ridiculous, to the grotesque, to the sometimes fatal at some point in their last couple of hours."
If what Stewart says is true, then why have, by all accounts, intellectually honest black men like Allen West, David Webb, Shelby Steele, Thomas Sowell, Jason Riley, and Ben Carson all come out and labeled the claim patently false? Why do all of them say the problems in the black community are self-induced and spurned on by an ever-increasing welfare state, proposed by the likes of Stewart, that rob them of their dignity?
But while Stewart's pontificating on the subject of the "grotesque" treatment of black Americans, let's talk about the most "grotesque" of them all: genocide. In Stewart's home city of New York, where he and his writers reside in lavish penthouses, black babies are being slaughtered in abortion clinics at a faster rate than are actually being born, and since Stewart has repeatedly mocked the actions of pro-lifers and defended a "woman's choice," it's fair to say that Stewart doesn't give a damn about the "grotesque" treatment of black people.
