Stewart Takes On 30 Republicans Who Voted Against Rape Amendment

forward this to every congressmonkey and newspaper editor in the United States.

thanks.

Thank God for Jon Stewart.

Any comment, republicans?

And these people think they are going to be in power in 2010. What a joke.

It makes me wonder what this country would be like if they could have it just the way they want it..I have a feeling i would be looking to immigrate.

Jon Stewart really is so necessary - this is crazy bad and would have been buried without him there to point at it and say WTF. And everyone just falls in line according to how the money flows...soul-less wonders.

If that is their idea of family values , keep them away from my family . Keep them out of the country even !

This is why i love jon stewart, anybody can preach the news but only he can present it in a humorous and yet informative way.

All it takes is a 'stand up' comedian to find the courage to 'stand up' to the bull shit going on. He makes them all look pathetic.

Kudos to Jon Stewart.

Because we all know Republicans believe that if a woman gets raped it is because of the decisions she made ...... for example working at a certain company or signing a work contract.
It is totally her fault and her attackers should not be prosecuted.

Republicans never cease to amaze me with the decisions they make. I guess to be a Republican you must be rabid hypocrite and abandon all sense of human decency.

So? Anything Stewart does isn't news.

Next.

Democrats are too nice. Let's make this "Punch a Republican" year.

Ok Wake up! Stewart is saying this vote had to do with rape and Republicans voted against it. Wrong this ammendment had to do with freedom of an employer to have a legal contract with its workers regarding lawsuits, not rape. Many companies have legal contracts with those employed. Not an okay to rape contract like the moron uptop leeds you to believe and like good sheeple you follow. No the bill was to not allow companies who have certain employee contracts to recieve Gov. work. Thats it! This clown wants you to think Republicans are ok with rape, really? How ignorant are you? On the other hand the corporation did not rape this poor woman and yes those involved should be prosecuted. That is not what this ammendment is about! This law had nothing to do with rape! Nothing! It would create a prejudice against companies which have LEGAL CONTRACTS!!!! YES LEGAL!!! So I would say until this type of contract is made illegal we have to actually go along with the Laws of This Country! If thats ok with all the other wackos like Stewart. WOW he actually turned a vote having nothing to do with rape into a Republican hate video. Get educated! Please! He even end it with stating Haliburton commits gang rape and makes a comparison to ACORN which recieves TAX money for no service rendered. Haliburton actually gets payed for work. Are you kidding! Maybe I should start watching this clown so I can educate you on the truth and not the hate which he obviously promotes. HA HA read the comments here from the clueless people. An embarrassment to the public school education system.

Can't like the victim that got raped report the People that raped her and they would get some sort of punishment? Not just like sue the whole company.
But i think this is so wrong, they should take off rape in contracts. i dont even see why they have it on their in the first place, whos the wise guy who came up with the idea of "HMMMMM maybe we need to put employees cannot sue the company if an employee gets GANG RAPED by other employees..... yes this is good." uhm? no? i wonder if one of the republicans daughters got raped if they would still feel the same.

Unfortunately, this matter is far too serious for me to find the humor. I appreciate Stewart's efforts to expose those who opposed the bill, but it is so depressing that I can't laugh. The GOP is morally bankrupt IMHO. How else can you explain their votes to cover up rape by govt contractors?

ew What is with their war on women? my union is made up of mostly poor women and low and behold - the Republicans have demonized our Union and even tried to connect it with the "hooker" Acorn media hoax.
*I now have a girl-crush on Rachel Maddow
*Also on John Stewart (reg crush?)

Halliburton is a prime example of the wealthy aggregating the wealth away from the general economy for themselves. The rapes (we know about) that happened under KBR are just the tip of the iceberg.

Jon Stewart gives you more info than the so calles news channels where did main stream media call them out

It expresses an extreme lack of brainpower to brush Jon's views off as invalid because his show often rotates around satire.

Is truth never found within comedy? Didn't think so.

Bottom line: 4 Republicans voted against this piece of legislation. The same Republicans who voted to defund Acorn because of their "morally corrupt" actions.

If you can't admit the hypocrisy in these individuals, then you're simply just choosing not to. Instead of trying to play devil's advocate (which is getting quite old), grow a pair and admit these 4 Republicans are full of it.

This "comedy"---IS NOT funny. Seriously. Uhm,...THIS IS WHY; ["right to bear arms"!] Really. Yo,.............30 "nay" votes,........... on RAPE PROTECTION...........???? Gang Rape!?! This IS NOT FUNNY! We Should drag these 30 down the street and beat them to death in A MOST PUBLIC WAY! Collectively! What SCUM wants to stand to protect them!?! --------feel free,....name yourself- Our sisters are being held "in contempt" in a most public way,...by corporate power. Fight the POWER!

Stewart is so god damn rational and intelligent, it's sad that these qualities make him stand out and be refreshing, and that more media sources aren't like him. I agree that denying his legitimacy because he's a host on a Comedy Central is just sticking your fingers in your eyes and closing your eyes and ignoring that he's more sensible and scrutinizing than ANY news outlet I see on American television.

That being said, I also found it a bit hard to laugh at some of this, because it's so fucking horrible that things like this happen and that old white male Republicans who never have to worry about being raped or discriminated against are siding with fucking corporations instead of rights for their American citizens to protect their sexual and autonomous integrity.

What a surprise! Republicans siding with big business at the expense of the average American. I wonder how much money they get paid by defense contractors...

My buddy once told me you don't know what a button does until you push it. So, JJammer, yes, the Daily Show is a news source! (even though Stewart would rather not acknowledge it and the responsiblity that entails)

McEntire, much (though not all) of what you had to say was rational and made sense. This is really about contracts and how they can be abused outside the US. Clearly a contract that precludes your right to due process can go bad places, as it did in the case of Halliburton. A vote against the Franken bill is a vote for the status quo, and the status quo is clearly "not sustainable."

who would have thought satire news of rape could be so funny.

wow....
