Jon Stewart Calls Out Glenn Beck for Hilarious, Dangerous Hypocrisy

by at .

This just in: Jon Stewart is not a fan of Glenn Beck.

On The Daily Show last night, Stewart tore apart the Fox News host and his planned rally in D.C. tomorrow. In the following video, the comedian labels the event Beck's "I Have a Scheme" speech. Even the harshest Stewart critic must admit: that's a darn funny pun.

Summed up, Stewart's primary beef with Beck boils down to a pair of points:

  1. Beck derides Democrats for using fear tactics... only to literally refer to fire and brimstone and the end of the world if things don't change.
  2. Beck's number-one message to viewers is that the government has no business telling them how to live... only he spends every show doing that himself, even imparting investment advice in a gold company he gets paid to pitch (and which is being investigated for fraud).

Watch The Daily Show segment below and sound off on either or both of these hosts.

    Beck is an angry dry drunk and would do well to remember he is living in 2010 America and not 1774 America. Get used to it -- the clock can't be turned back and the country is no longer occupied entirely by recently arrived European immigrants and Native Amricans....

    There goes Stewart again, comparing apples to oranges and trying to pass it all off as fruit. He calls Beck a hypocrite because he tells Americans what they have to do to work to stop the government from telling them what they have to do. Difference is, if Beck tells me I must buy health insurance, I can ignore him. If the Government tells me the same thing and I refuse, I can be prosecuted. Apples to Oranges, so no conclusions can be drawn.
