Stewart: GOP pundits 'confusing tyranny with losing' David Edwards and Rachel Oswald

Print This Email This Daily Show host Jon Stewart made fun of conservative attempts to label President Obama as a tyrannical leader and advised GOP members Tuesday to pace their rage because being in the minority party is supposed to taste like a sh** taco.



Pointing out the inconsistencies in Republican and Fox pundit arguments that Obama is both simultaneously a weak and over-strong president, Stewart said, So not only is Obama a total pussy, whos going to let Europe run roughshod over us, hes also an iron-fisted tyrant, who will crush anyone who doesnt bend to his will.



Stewart mocked Andrew Breitbart, a former editor of the Drudge Report, who now runs his own Web news portal, for saying that since Obama became president, his childrens public school no longer used the term St. Patricks Day but rather, Potato Day.



Im not Irish but Im not sure Potato Day is more politically correct than St. Patricks Day. I think it might be worse, laughed Stewart before going on to say:



And while President Bush was the one who started the bailout, nationalizing an insurance company, added a $17 trillion drug prescription entitlement program, had a government-mandated public school initiative, literally titled No Child Left Behind, wiretapped citizens without warrants, created secret internment camps in international waters behind the reach of our justice system and allowed his vice president to live in a netherworld between the executive and legislative branch Only now with the advent of Potato Day has tyranny come to our shores.



Stewart advised angry Republicans that they were "confusing tyranny with losing." Now youre in the minority, its supposed to taste like a sh** taco.



And I feel for you, because Ive been there, said Stewart, who went on to point out a host of Bush decisions that liberals disagreed with.



For Gods sake guys, youve been out of power for ten f**king weeks, said Stewart. Youve got a mid-term election in 20 months. Pace your rage.



Stewart also chided conservatives for hypocrisy in accusing Obama of tyranny, when they were the ones to accuse liberals, who were angry with President Bush, of being unpatriotic.



If I remember correctly, said Stewart, When disagreement was expressed about that presidents actions when yall were in power, I believe the response was Why do you hate America, Watch what you say, Love it or leave it and Suck on my truck nuts.
