xfd @ CNN lumping Paul in with the "rest of the candidates" whom he is outpolling by about 300%
He's FAR closer to Romney/Perry/Bachmann than he is to Gingrich/Cain/Santorum. But you wouldn't know that if you got your information from the media (including Fox News)

Man, I didn't realize just how unabashedly left the Daily Show had actually gotten. The first half of the show was pretty much nothing but "HEY ARE REPUBLICANS STUPID OR WHAT" and the interview was just Jon Stewart telling Ron Paul how wrong he is, but without providing any actual examples or evidence or anything of the sort.

Last time I checked, the Daily Show still claims to be nothing more than a comedy show, not a "get democrats elected" show, right? Or do they not even bother to pretend anymore?

lol @ Herman Cain. I'm sure he indeed does not comprehend having supporters all around the country who actually have some consistency of thought and ideas.

He's always claimed that he's a comedy show and that American politics, especially right wing, are goldmines for humor. And of course, that if he is being taken seriously as a news or opinion show it speaks to the low quality of the rest of the US media.
If you're a regular watcher you'll find that he targets Democrats with some regularity. He's just got a special case of love for Fox News. They do seem to do a lot of dumb stuff!

He picks on CNN just about as much for being as superficial as humanly possible.
The Daily Show is a comedy show, and they're also obviously left-wing. That people take them seriously and let them influence their voting decisions isn't The Daily Show's fault.
For the record, I don't hate Herman Cain, but his particular accusation is just ridiculous. Like, he can't even fathom that Ron Paul has nation-wide support and they all are concerned with the Federal Reserve. I mean, it's not like Ron Paul's #1 issue for the last three decades has been the federal reserve, and it's not like as former chairman of the Kansas City Fed, this is naturally a concern particularly in regards to Herman Cain.
