Jon Stewart's EPIC takedown of those who are opposed to gun control. Must see!

Part one

Part Two

Jon had a cold but it clearly did not hamper his passion on this issue.

Sometimes Jon really knocks it out of the park, and this is certainly one of those times.

    The second video kept stopping for me around 2:44 time. Yes he is good, but the 2nd Amendment crowd isn't interested. Love Jon's common sense. Wish the NRA did. Fear is not common sense.

    Yeah the whole show was great - Gen. Stanley McChrystal was very persusauve too. If you like the show, this was an all-timer.

    Jon the team at the Daily Show are consistently thoughtful, intelligent and funny! His argument here, tight as a drum.

    If you did a Top 10 list of opening segments of the show -- this would be one. In fact it would be in a Top 5 list!!

    Jon can still knock it out of the park when he's not at 100% himself -- too bad many of those in DC bat 0% even when their healthy courtesy of the gold plated, taxpayer healthcare coverage they have.

    This made me furious! To project this on President Obama is ludicrous and just plain wrong. This guy needs a mental health intervention...

    Video of killer whales trapped by ice in northern Quebec (at eastern top part of Hudson Bay) posted by CBC (Canadian Broadcasting Corporation -- not the Corrupt Bastards Club!!!) on Huff Canada.

    Their activity is unreal. The mayor of the small village has called for an icebreaker.

    Meet the Sandy Hook truthers

    Theorists think they've found “absolute proof” that Newtown was a hoax. Have they no shame?

      Gee, that will make the neighbor who has had a lawn chair in his front yard with a plasticized photo of Josef Stalin taped to the back ever since the election. If I were to meet this neighbor I'd love to ask him (politely, of course) exactly what has happened to him personally in the last four years to make him so sure that President Obama is synonymous with Stalin? Have any Black Marias arrived late at night to spirit away family members? And so on.

    I'm glad to see that Mr Obama and Mr Biden are serious about tightening up access to some types of assault weapons and clips, but I am concerned.

    The gun crowd runs the gamut from intelligent and responsible, all the way down to the nuts that believe Jesus wants them to shoot commies, Muslims, and any gubbermint elites that get in their way.

    If I was advising President Obama on this matter, I would strongly counsel him not to try and ban assault weapons and large clips with an Executive order.

    This will stir up the crazies like nothing else. If you want a really good idea of how big this could be, just check out some of the lead articles and wnd.com or other right wing spots.

    Knowing when and how to pick your fights is something that the Prez is pretty good at, but there are millions of angry gun folks who view this as a direct attack on their religion.

    We could actually see civil unrest and murder of police or national guard as a result.

    Daily Best took a survey of those who do, and do not own guns.

    http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2012/12/17/interactive-sound-off-on-gun-control.html

    Here's the best quote among many, from an ex military guy:

    "after 20+ years in the military, I came home to CONUS, (Continental US) saw how crazy the 'muricans had become and decided to change to a country of adults, where laws counted and people were not reich wing, xtian idiots who wanted to kill everyone in Jeezbus's name...
    The world has voted , and you are idiots!\

    They guy really hits it on the head!
    If I could move somewhere else, I certainly would, but I'm here in New Hampshire taking care of family.
