Hmmm.....suddenly you like Jon Stewart because he agrees with you on this one point. Here is what he said in its entirety: “There are terrorists and racists and Stalinists and theocrats but those are titles that must be earned,” Stewart told the multitudes in his closing remarks. (Video at the end of this piece.) “You must have the resume. Not being able to distinguish between real racists and Tea Partiers, or real bigots and Juan Williams and Rick Sanchez, is an insult, not only to those people but to the racists themselves who have put in the exhausting effort it takes to hate — just as the inability to distinguish terrorists from Muslims makes us less safe, not more.” First of all, I have said that I don't think Williams or Sanchez are racist. Secondly, I have said I don't think all teapers are racist nor do I think all R candidates are racist. Some definitely are not. However, there are racists in the teaper movement. And there are R candidates who are racist. As for Stewart, the point he was making is that we are too quick to put labels on people....stuff like calling Obama a socialist would be an example. He is saying people need to earn those titles and those titles like racist or socialist should not be thrown around so lightly.
