The Conflictinator Explained

Here's the full Jon Stewart interview from Thursday on Rachel Maddow, it's better than any Sunday show stuff you'll waste time on today, and it's very, very interesting to see Stewart's take on the left in general.



At one point from about 12-20 minutes into this, Stewart basically asks "How does calling George W. Bush a war criminal, while technically correct, actually accomplish anything?" and goes on to say that Obama is doing much of the same stuff.  Rachel counters that this is a completely false conflation when the Tea Party is literally making things up about Obama, as opposed to the Left using facts.  Stewart then goes after Rachel on the Centrist Dalek "You and your network are ignoring the legitimate anger that created the Tea Party" argument.

Rachel, to her credit, does not dropkick Stewart's face in on this point.

It's a very eye-opening interview.
