P, to me, that kind of humor smacks of making fun of people because of their condition, much like making fun of someone who is retarded.

I think that perhaps the years that separate us does make a difference in our sensitivity to this subject.

I am who I am. I don't think it is funny.

It is NOT funny.

Funny thing is...Jon Stewart is 49...just a few short years and he'll be putting a deposit on a lot and deciding between a designer, premier or cyv. We'll get him back then!

I hope he will be my neighbor, I love to laugh. Even when it stings a little.

Wow, I must be young, hip, and I know I have a sense of humor!!! I loveeeeeeeeeeeee Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert! Never miss either of them.

Making fun or light of the human condition has always been part of a comedian's repertoire! Nothing new. Don Rickles used to (and still does) cut people to shreds!

I think Stewart is brilliant and knows wayyyyyyy more about our politics and what's going on in this country than most of the deadweights in congress.

The Villages thing with Romney was hysterical. Romney's singing was pandering to the Seniors. Maybe that's who you should take issue with.

OMG GG. What's wrong with making fun of old people who have been duped into following the elephant trail. We will all soon meet our maker. Why not have some fun before judgement day?

Here's a suggestion for all those criticizing John Stewart and The Daily Show -DON'T WATCH IT.

Great idea! Why not watch FOX News instead to get it just the way it really is; straight forward, unbiased and bipartisan!

I agree, and that's exactly why Fox is so continually high in the ratings. As surprising as it is, even the Huffington Post won't deny that. If you go to Huffington Post you'll find that they've reported that the top 8 programs in the rating were all Fox News. Even the Factor's rerun later in the evening is within that top 8. IMHO, I have no doubt that what you've stated is exactly why they're so marginalized by adversaries!

This discussion is straying into political territory and the thread might have to be moved to the restricted political forum.

It appropriately originated in the "Villages General" forum as it involved depiction of our Villages community in a national media outlet. We had hoped it would be able to remain in the General forum. Time will tell.

[MrMark]

Don't seem to be able to find a "political forum". Please indicate where it is and how to get there. thanks.

I posted it for enjoyment. I also noticed it is straying from that purpose. I kept my comments non political. I understand it is now becoming beyond those boundaries
