Jon Stewart Responds To Hannity With An Even Better Takedown Over Bundy's Lawlessness

As I wrote Tuesday night, Jon Stewart apparently struck a deep nerve when he lambasted Sean Hannity's hypocritical advocacy for lawbreaking Nevada rancher Cliven Bundy. The next night, Hannity hit back by whitewashing his record and then launching a bunch of irrelevant smears at Stewart. Last night, Stewart responded with an even more epic shredding. And I mean epic!

It's hard to summarize this glorious exposure of Hannity's hypocrisy but it starts by confronting his phony-baloney claim to focus on "proportionality" in the Bundy ranch incident, juxtaposing it with Hannity's support for pepper spraying Occupy protesters and Stop and Frisk policies and reaches a high point when addressing Hannity's attack on Stewart for hosting Yusuf Islam at the Rally for Sanity.

"Point taken on that one," Stewart acknowledged. But he added, "I'm just not sure you're the best guy to make the guilt-by-musician-association point." Then he played a clip of Hannity supporting Ted Nugent's rant that then-candidate Barack Obama was a piece of s*** who should "suck on my machine gun" and telling Hillary Clinton to ride one "into the sunset, you worthless b****."

It got even better after that, as Stewart went straight for the jugular of Hannity's dishonest punditry. "I just can't believe that in this day and age with all that we know, this s*** is out there," Stewart said. And more.

Presumably, this segment was recorded before Bundy's shockingly racist comments were revealed. Between the two, I think it's safe to say that Hannity is having a very bad day.

This was one of the most spectacular Jon Stewart takedowns of all time. I almost felt sorry for Hannity by the end, particularly when we got to the Whiskey Rebellion. But Hannity should know the old saying “Mess with the bull, you get the horns…”

This shellacking of Hannity was one of biblical proportions. Couldn’t happen to a bigger piece of shit either. The recent twist should provide for excellent commentary on TDS this evening. I can hardly wait…lol

And now we know that Bundy is a racist. Oh, it’s brilliant! Wonder how Hannity will spin this one!

Now he’s done it. Hannocchio put himself in a deep hole. Bundy supporters are not happy with this cafeteria Catholic’s remarks about Bundy. We’ve been reading their comments, and it’s not good.

This nuclear fallout will have consequences for Hannocchio. Stick a fork in him. He’s done.

NOTE TO HANNITY

Take our advice and tell the suits to end your contract this summer. Otherwise, your ratings will further plummet.

Today on Hannocchio’s radio show he threw Bundy under the bus. We are waiting for reaction from Bundy’s supporters. Get that popcorn out! The main attraction just started.
