And Jon Stewart goes full metal racist. I’m not surprised.
Wyatt Cenac: “People seemed surprised Jon’s criticism was towards the media and not Hinchcliffe, who he called ‘very funny,’ excusing the comedian’s participation in a xenophobic rally as the fault of the organizers for booking a ‘roast comedian.’ Having worked for Jon, his response wasn’t really surprising. Disappointing but not surprising.”
Sad Stewart is to the right of many Republican politicians.

Hinchcliffe wasn't funny though. IT was just pure meanness for the sake of being mean. That's bullshit. I can see pushing things even further than he did and if it's funny, it's transcended into a deeper truth, but it was just bad. Stewart just wants to make sure comics don't get censored I think..
@TheAbbotTrithemius @feloneouscat hinchcliffe either does not notice that punching down is seldom funny, or nobody has actually sat him down and pummeled that fact into his head.
@TheAbbotTrithemius
I agree. There was nothing there to defend.
Stewart’s argument is, “Hey, you can’t take a joke”—he is a prime example of why happens when you are part of the 0.05%, you lose all sense of common decency.
