It may not have been Stewart's funniest moment, but it works as an effective piece of satire to ridicule Beck's unique brand of crazy.

Jon Stewart Uses Half his Show to Spoof Glenn Beck
Jon Stewart has parodied Glenn Beck in the past, but the other night on The Daily Show, Stewart devoted half of the show to spoofing Beck.
It may not have been Stewart's funniest moment, but it works as an effective piece of satire to ridicule Beck's unique brand of crazy.

Sarah Palin Educates the Public on When it is Okay to Call Someone a "Retard"
Rahm Emanuel recently made news when it was publicized that he had called liberals "fucking retarded" during a private conversation.
This sparked outrage from Fox News Contributor Sarah Palin (who has a child with disabilities) who called for Emanuel to resign.
On his radio show, Rush Limbaugh jumped on Emanuel's comments and proceeded to call liberals "retarded" as well. Take a listen:
This set the stage for Sarah Palin to be questioned about Limabaugh's use of the slur versus its use by Rahm Emanuel. Palin was asked about this on Fox News Sunday with Chris Wallace this past Sunday:
So if you are keeping score at home, in Sarah Palin's mind it is wrong for Rahm Emanuel to call liberals "fucking retarded", but it is okay for Rush Limbaugh to call liberals "retards" because of some perceived level of satire. I, for one, would be interested to hear Palin's analysis of how Limbaugh's so-called "satire" was artfully used on his radio show.
In the meantime, we have the witty and on-point Stephen Colbert to analyze the situation for us:

Stewart Takes on Fox and Conservative Rapper Hi-Caliber Gives the World the 'Patriotic People' Rap
Jon Stewart did another bang-up job recently when he discussed the recent so-called "war" between the Obama Administration and Fox News. He is right on point in much of this video and is, per usual, hilarious in making the underlying points:
In other video news, one of the scariest things that I came across on Halloween, was this rapping effort by Hi-Caliber. Sure, I disagree with the content, but I think this rap misses the mark on many levels:
