I was quoting Levin who is my number one favorite talk show host and uses Stewart's real name to call him out on being a liberal Jewish self-hater (Mark's words not mine). I guess you can say that's Levin is anti-Semitic, but it's a tough case to make since Levin is Jewish and talks about it on his show. I have no idea why so many (especially secular) Jews like Stewart are leftists, when the left is very anti-Semitic in my opinion.rotor wrote:So he is Jewish and Colbert is Catholic. But what has that got to do with it? Did not seem appropriate to bring in his or your religion into the issue. Sounded like a not so off hand anti-Semitic remark. If I am wrong I apologize in advance.ScottDLS wrote:Nope, just that he's (nominally) Jewish, but a big Israel hater and leftist on foreign policy. I refer to him as that because my favorite Jewish commentator, Mark Levin, does. Levin doesn't change his name to McDonough just so he can hang around with anti-Semites (i.e. the Left), but I suspect Leibowitz does. This Christian of pallor is calling him on it.

I don't watch him but some say he has a conservative political bent. I wouldn't know though.
Is there some additional comment that you are trying to make by using the Leibowitz reference? Subtle perhaps- or not?
I have no idea either whether Colbert is Catholic (though he plays one on TV). I think Levin is just tired of his co-religionists who are soft on the Islamo-Fascists in Iran (again his term) and wants to call them on it. Stewart is a vile sell-out who thinks that he is so much smarter than us, gun toting, conservative rubes. He will pretend he changed his name because of all the supposedly anti-Semitic Christian right....in Hollywood??? Yeah, go with that... I stand with Levin, Dennis Prager, JPFO, and all the other non-sellouts who support the Constitution and particularly the second amendment.
Now to bring it back on topic, Jeb is a squish on gun rights, and personally I think he and all the other Republican candidates should avoid Stewart/Leibowitz's show on principal, because he is there to do nothing other than play them for fools to the know-nothings who like his show. I don't think he's bright, or funny, or good at getting his Marxist message out, nor do I think "our" side should try to emulate him to connect with younger voters.
Well that was a quite un-opinionated rant, eh....
