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.

From illegal war on Iran to an inhumane fuel blockade of Cuba, from AI weapons to crypto corruption, this is a time of staggering chaos, cruelty, and violence.
