Even Jon Stewart Finds ‘Tolerance’ at the DNC Doesn’t Extend to Conservatives: ‘Nazis and Evil’
On Wednesday we brought you video of Reason TV finding that DNC attendees were pro-choice as long as it extended only to abortion (food? not so much). But if you thought that was the only hypocrisy present at the convention you are wrong. In fact, even Jon Stewart was able to find some more — and the video is incredible.
The issue Stewart maligned? Tolerance. His cameras and correspondent found that attendees were quick to claim tolerance and inclusion but they were slow to extend it while discussing conservatives.
“Everyone’s welcome,” one convention-goer says. Stewart’s correspondent quickly asks, “Except?”
“Except unless you own a corporation, or if you’re a hunter, a gun owner, white males,” he responds.
“Really?” the host asks.
“There are a bunch of gun-toting, hillbilly, Tea Partiers, that’s all I have to say,” the man responds. “Bang, bang, bang, bang.”
And that was just the beginning. There was one woman who railed against conservatives and then said, “The Tea Baggers are the least tolerant group I’ve ever seen.” [crickets] That was also after a montage played of the attendees calling conservatives names. And later, Stewart’s correspondent even tried to point out that “we need to accept everyone’s differences”Β — and the same attendee struggled to get it.
Of course, there was also one guy saying he’s been calling conservatives “Nazis and evil” before it was “appropriate.” Appropriate to who — other Democrats? And then then the classic line: “I would never call a redneck a name.” Huh?
It’s really got to be seen to be believed:

Posted on September 6, 2012 at 8:55amwait a minute,you can’t blame all this on the delegates and people that are at the convention, this stems from their leaders. nancy p. calling Tea Party names remember with her fake crying……so these people will parrot what they hear……..all you have to say is this group has been paying attention to the dnc talking points,so the kool-aid gang is in order?…………
-when ever a new Conservative group,person or movement surfaces the left is quick to distort that group with buzz words like racist,homophobe,bigot and so on……………the people that spout such hate don’t even know at what points they’re spouting hate so they resort to buzz words………i wanna thank our leaders Rush L.,Beck,Malkin,Hannity and i could go on and on for taking their arrows on our behalf………..

Posted on September 6, 2012 at 9:54amwhat is interesting, is that when you look at murders in this nation, the mass majority are committed by people on the left. Just of the top, we know that black Americans (12% of the population) commit 50% of the murders, and 98% of them voted for Obama.
If we held presidential elections in our prison systems, republicans would never get a vote.

I’m afraid I have to respectfully disagree. We are all, as individuals, wholly accountable for our actions and our choices in life. To claim that they are not to blame for accepting anything somebody else says and parroting it verbatim is to remove both responsibility from them as well as deny them their free will.
I hold no person innocent who commits evil. He/she has a choice about what kind of moral code he constructs and what kind of values she accepts. If he/she falls back on blind faith in others, then that’s a choice, and I hold him/her fully accountable for that and everything he/she does because of that choice.

The whole take a ruling take a nation saying applies. If they can arrest the leader of a nation they then hold that leader hostage to their wishes and therefore the nation.

Posted on September 6, 2012 at 8:36pmSndrman, are you saying we cannot expect them to think for themselves? Well, perhaps you are right. Maybe they do just parrot what they hear their party leaders saying. maybe they don’t have the intelligence to think for themselves. But at the same time, go through and look at the comments you see here in the Blaze. A lot of people on the right are the same. I tend to think that both sides need to be able to think for themselves. If that were the case, then this country might not be in the position it is in. But with weak education, and no one trying to figure out the truth for themselves, I don’t have much hope for either side right now.

Posted on September 6, 2012 at 10:35amExcept vs Accept That seems to be the problem with these people, as far as they’re concerned the two concepts can coexist in the same sentence without contradiction: like the party of nonviolence and love, unless you want to kill an 8 1/2 month old fetus.
Freedom and prosperity are big Lib talking points as long as you’re willing to relinquish your freedom for a subsistence lifestyle on the dole.
The really scary part is that these people, for the most part, aren’t stupid, just so misguided as to be divorced from reality; for them 2+2 can equal whatever they want it to and anyone who says it always equals 4 is ignorant, racist, cruel, insensitive or worse.
Side note: did you ever notice than when a gun-wielding criminal shoots a pregnant woman and she survives but the baby dies they add a murder charge to the aggravated assault charge? Have you seen any Libs protesting that concept on behalf of the gunman? So which is it, Mr President?

That very term is anathema to today’s democrat party. The democrats used to be relatively reasonable people. Unfortunately they have been infiltrated, and wholly taken over by hardcore Marxists. They have been at war with the private economy for the past 10 years. It might interest you to know that most small business owners, you know, the ones who create most jobs in the private sector, are republicans. They have to be because they must deal with fiscal reality if they want their businesses to succeed. The CEO’s of larger corporations are the ones who have the luxury of being democrats, because it is their stockholder’s money they are putting at risk, and rarely their own.

Posted on September 6, 2012 at 12:00pm“Warning, Demagogue Alert!!!”
Please, stick to the issue in the article you are posting on.
But, I will humor you.
The job numbers are a meaningless figure unless you include the number of people who are entering and leaving the workforce. If there are 2 million jobs created, but 4 million new workers, you understand how this a problem. The other big problem, a lot of these numbers get distorted by certain unseen criteria, after all, weren’t people saying the they didn’t care about the jobs President Bush was creating because they were “burger flippers?” Finally, are these the net gains and losses, or otherwise? At face value your argument has merit, but under analysis, it doubt it holds up to it’s value.
What I do know is this, the government will not be able to sustain its current level of entitlement and growth, it’s mathematically impossible. Unfortunately, we only hasten that process by increasing the already tremendous burden on business, or are you delusional enough to believe everyone will be so noble as you and let themselves be run into the ground for things like Miss Fluke’s birth control? If we don’t cut back now, people are going to become completely dependent upon these programs, and will suffer greatly once they are forced to scale back or are eliminated. They are going to suffer now, but they will have a chance to survive.

Posted on September 6, 2012 at 12:01pmThe problem is a fundamentally false assumption on your part: Presidents create jobs. There are three problems with that assumption.
For starters, the more constitutional a country, the less involved the government is in creating jobs. The government, by its nature, does not create: it takes. Conservatives–true conservatives–do not want the government creating jobs. We want the government out of the private sector because private citizens are the best job creators.
Secondly, your assumption ignores the lingering affects of previous administrations. Just because a president is in power (Republican or Democrat) does not mean specifically that it is *his* policies that are having any immediate effect on an economy. As an example, much of the wealth created under the Clinton administration was the lingering effects of the Reagan economy and both presidents benefited incalcuably from the dawn of the Information Age made possible by computer technology. Wait…that was private sector…
Lastly, you, like most people today, see only party. There is only one CONSERVATIVE in that list of RNC presidents: Reagan and look at his job numbers. Consider as well the other large number under Clinton was more the result of the CONSERVATIVE Congress that balanced the budget and reformed entitlements and your argument that Liberalism/Socialism creates jobs completely falls apart. Socialism has failed every time and it cannot hope but fail here as well.

Posted on September 6, 2012 at 12:08pmSimple minds are just fascinating to me. You just have to wonder how anyone could be so ignorant of the American system of government to tie job gains and losses to which party the president belonged to when those changes occurred. No mention of the makeup of Congress (who controls legislation) or the effect of the previous presidentβs policy during the subsequent presidentβs term. Much less the more subtle effect of the predicted winner of the next election on the current economic picture. There must be a dozen factors I’ve left out and yet you make a direct connection between two nearly unrelated factors. Absolutely breathtaking.
No wonder youβre a Democrat; you just canβt reason very well.

Posted on September 6, 2012 at 8:26amLike most liberals, this guy makes the classic mistake of assuming that Nazis were right of centre (conservative). While the actual name ‘National SOCIALIST Party’ pretty much gives it away at first glance, any look under the hood at the Nazi’s policies bears a remarkable and frightening similarity with those of virtually any liberal party. I believe the term is ‘fellow travelers’.

Posted on September 6, 2012 at 8:44pmWell this is interesting. Lets try again. At least it will prove something. (Thats for the Blaze) The left and right paradigm is dead, its an illusion to keep us distracted. The true war is Big Gov (One World Gov) vs Personal Liberties and Freedom (Us) The USA is in the way, our pesky constitution must be dismantled and has been for over 100 years. Progressivism is communism….except they want it on a global scale. BHO has been weakening us for 4 years. They need us to fall so they, the UN and the elite can come in and establish the new order. I hate saying it, but its true. Its all out there for those who care to dig. Unfortunately its not just the left, there are progressives on the right. Just look at Obama’s policy’s from a progressive point of view. They actually make sense if your trying to tank the country. Anyway…….the Blaze has blocked some interesting stuff and I will continue to read the blaze and love all your comments, but I know longer trust the BLAZE. Be careful and be well

Posted on September 6, 2012 at 8:21amThe democrats are and do exactly what they accuse people who disagree them of being. Straight out of the Saul Alinsky playbook. Democrats are delusional, irrational and border on insanity. In fact some of them sound as if they are already there; they are a very dangerous party because they are irrational, delusional, oppressive and tyrannical in their desired use of power to conform and enslave everyone to adhere to their wicked belief system.

Posted on September 6, 2012 at 8:06amThe Democrats are well known for being tolerant and inclusive…..unless you’re not a Democrat of course. Then you are a “hater” or a “nazi” or even “evil”. This includes anyone who doesn’t believe that the Government should be the surrogate parents. To them the obvious answer to all of life’s problems is the government, which really means that some bureaucrat or politician telling them what they will or won’t do and other people paying for everything they need to live. As angry as they make me with THEIR intolerance, hatred, and constant hypocrisy, I also sometimes feel sorry for them. How pitiful is it to be a so-called adult who wants someone to take care of them and how disgusting and arrogant is it to think that other people are so stupid or incompetent that YOU need to tell them how to live their lives. I personally prefer freedom, and freedom means that you are free to succeed or free to fail.

Posted on September 6, 2012 at 9:40amNice post Rick! It’ spot on. They first claim that they are the ones to define “fairness”. Then in the name of fairness, dictate how we should live our lives, according to their ideology. The end result will be that, eventually, no one, and no money, will be left to take care of them as they demand. Talk about stupidity!

Posted on September 6, 2012 at 12:04pmFunny, I seem to remember democrats blubbering like little girls when we accused them of being unpatriotic for what they said about the President. Now that the shoe is on the other foot, you go the extra step and call us traitors. You wonder why people no longer listen to you? The hypocrisy that oozes from your lips is the very poison which will shatter this union.

Posted on September 6, 2012 at 3:28pmI wouldn’t say conservatives so much….
The GOP with all it’s fraud maybe but apparently even the dem convention has some “rule changes” fraud going on as well.
The two party system that follows the same progressive un-Constitutional path is the true traitor to the system.

Posted on September 6, 2012 at 8:01amAnd Stewart didn’t know this ahead of time? Just read the comments on the liberal websites. While there is some nastiness and profanity and intolerance on conservative sites, the amount on liberal sites is at least 20 times more. Listen and watch the liberal pundits like Matthews and Schultz (if you can stand to do so). They are much more nasty and intolerant than any conservative host. So welcome to the REAL world of intolerance, Mr. Stewart. It is mostly a liberal world.

Many times its a conservative or independent attempting to rebut the lunacy of the left.Like many of you I was taught to be civil nice polite and tactful.[In some respects maybe more so]We have tried that with the left.It doesn’t work.It merely emboldens them to go farther.They mistake civility for weakness and cowardice.Just as the EOS mistakes patiennt persistence for stupidity [doesn't help that they used that line in their scams and now believe there own lies]
I know many of you would like to turn the other cheek.You can’t do that with these jokers.They will break your proverbial jaw.They can’t be civil as they don’t know what that means.They will see your turning of the other cheek as a sign of weakness.

Posted on September 6, 2012 at 8:41amIn the end, there is intolerance on both sides, perhaps more or less on one side or the other, but the most important issues lay at your own feet. Are you intolerant? Do you speak out against those who are? Calling others names, or likening a group of people to Bigfoot believers only says one thIng out you… You are not very tolerant… Lots of black kettles here…

Peeps do get angry, even ugly when forced to pay over and over for another’s lack of personal responsibility. Imagine your daddy the fed having to dole out .45 acp’s to every house hold. Safety and well being and all. Our population would shrink from a third of your party stroking out, but imagine some of the lefties vitriol there-perhaps even ugliness. Stay positive though wangdang, most here have personal responsibility already and don’t need your taxes to be all growd up.
