Wow, never thought I'd say this...

21. Yes! The Rally to Restore Sanity was a disappointing missed opportunity

At his closing speech at the rally, he made a sweet little analogy about how ordinary people take turns merging into traffic before entering a tunnel -- and why can't it be that way in politics? Lovely thought, but all those people there should have been mobilized to actually accomplish something worthwhile.

Those rally remarks and his recent ones were follow-ups to his argument years ago against CNN's "Crossfire" program and how its divisive politics was "hurting America."

The problem is that Stewart's argument is based on a false equivalency -- that the Dems and GOPers are equally bad, they just disagree. But the Dems aren't "palling around" with Kluxers and Nazis and Russians and WikiLeaks. We aren't the ones behaving like "textbook examples" of racists and misogynists and anti-Semites and fascists. We're not the ones threatening to pull the funds on health care, public education, Medicare, Social Security, and VA health programs.

Only one party is doing all that. And for too long Dems have been the ones taking the high road, such as when our elected officials rejected calls to impeach GWBush, even though he was guilty of far worse than BClinton, just because we didn't want to go tit for tat or stoop to their level.

Enough of that hogwash! Now is the time to fight back to save our country from fascists, not make nice with them. So Jon, I love you, but STFU!
