How long before Jon Stewart and Family Guy are "Franced" and "Dixie Chicked"?
Jon Stewart, as I understand, aimed a "fuck you" at Palin and Family Guy had a new episode with a Nazi wearing a McPalin button. When will the crybaby conservatives start renaming Family Guy "Freedom Guy," boycotting The Daily Show, etc.?

1. I agree, Fox needs to call for a boycott
of Fox programming! And i gotta tell you that if Comedy Central was so stupid as to cancel TDS I would take all their shows off tivo and un-program it from my remote.

12. No, no , they should launch a competing conservative comedy show...
Edited on Thu Oct-23-08 12:23 PM by JHB
...or film a Major Motion Picture exposing they hypocricy and unprinciples cluelessness of liberals.


Oh, wait, they've done that, and it puts a whole new context to singing "Bomb bomb bomb, bomb bomb...."

2. It's a different situation.
1) Jon Stewart is a comedian.
2) He stars in a show 4 nights a week.

3. I think the momentum is going the other way.
I think people are tiring of the RW smear tactics of the past 7 years. If Hannity and Rush decided to 'dixie chick' Jon Stewart or 'Family Guy', it wouldn't be as effective today as 4-5 years ago.

9. And, On Top Of That. . .
. . .Stewart would just fire back. As many people watch Stewart every day as listen to either of those guys. So, his megaphone is just as big as their's.

They can't do anything, and besides, the people who listen to the radical right blowhards don't watch Daily Show anyway. So, it's a boycott apropos of nothing.

4. As far as Family Guy
They're just part of the ultimate hypocrisy of FOX. I can't believe more freepers don't see it. Shows like The Simpsons and Family Guy regularly rip the right wing a new asshole and they're given voice on a right wing network for one simple reason. They make Murdoch scads of cash. When are the FOX zealots going to realize that their champion of conservative ideals is for sale to the highest bidder just like the rethugs.

11. Actually, the Fox News Corp is freaking out of Family Guy.
A few years ago, they sued The Simpsons over making fun Fox News.

The right hand doesn't know what the left hand is doing.

15. Stewart actually talked about that at the beginning of his following show..
He said it was definately named at Palin personally, and perhaps he should have said "fuck you-all".
