I don't know that Stewart has it in him to produce a viral clip that gets the same kind of backlash from the very online left that Chapelle or Maher or Burr gets. — PolitiTweet.org

My theory of Jon Stewart: in the Daily Show era his core audience tolerated making fun of the left sometimes so long as he mostly made fun of Bush and Fox News, but now, to be liked by folks he wants-needs?-to like him requires unfunny ideological solidarity. See also Colbert. — PolitiTweet.org

If my theory is correct--and it may be wrong--the irony is that *funny, make fun of everyone* Stewart could reach and influence people in a leftward direction in a way humorless, scolding Jon Stewart never will. — PolitiTweet.org
