Glenn Beck: 'When You Lose Jon Stewart on ObamaCare, You're Done'

Source:Michael Savage- Jon Stewart & Glenn Beck.
"Glenn Beck was, needless to say, surprised at how aggressive Jon Stewart was in grilling Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius. Stewart repeatedly pressed Sebelius on why businesses got a delay but individuals didn't, and Beck gave Stewart due credit for taking on the argument. Beck railed against the White House "giving special exemptions to their friends and their cronies." He observed that many young people simply don't understand issues like Obamacare unless they hear it from someone like Stewart, saying, "If you package things in entertaining forms, they'll consume it."

Beck pointed out that while Stewart may be a liberal guy, the Sebelius interview showed he is clearly no flack.

"I don't think he is an out-and-out leftist propaganda guy. He's not. He's a New Yorker who happens to believe a lot of the crap that the left says. But you've lost Jon Stewart... You lose Jon Stewart on this, you're done."
Beck also found it "amazing" that Stewart openly wondered at the end of the show whether Sebelius was lying to him or not.

Beck is just the latest conservative pundit to credit Stewart for the interview, following praise from Rush Limbaugh and the hosts of The Five." 


Glenn Beck is actually right about comedian/political satirist Jon Stewart and his influence on young Americans, especially young, urban hipsters who may think that they're leftists and think that socialism and perhaps communism is actually cool. But only because they don't know any better, because high school and perhaps college (excepts for the party's) wasn't cool for them, so they didn't bother to learn about socialism and communism.  

If you want to communicate with young, urban hipsters in America, you have to make the education cool for them, or you'll never get them away from their smartphones, laptops, coffee houses, social media, and reality TV. And that's what Jon Stewart does them which is make political and governmental education cool and funny for them. 

Young Americans didn't vote for Barack Obama in 2008 and 12 because they loved his politics, but because they thought he was cool and some type of celebrity pop star. And young Americans listen to Jon Stewart even about politics and education, because they think he's cool and funny.
