Jon Stewart of The Daily Show takes on the crazy conspiracy theories of the right, starting with the recent Fox News coverage of ACORN. Fox of course claims that ACORN is criminal and "undercuts the fabric of our democracy." In return, Stewart exposes the irony of their attacks, satirically saying that "democracy is under attack by the very leader we democratically elected to lead us." Next, Stewart addresses how the right has taken offense with The National Endowment for the Arts and schoolchildren who sang a song in tribute to Obama days after his election to commemorate Black History Month.
