Fox declares war whenever there is an topical story that they believe they can twist into a harangue aimed at Democrats or President Obama. Here are just a few of the actual <em>&#8220;wars&#8221;<\/em> Fox has declared:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>A war on Christmas.<\/li>\n<li>A war on Hanukkah.<\/li>\n<li>A war on Easter.<\/li>\n<li>A war on fall holidays.<\/li>\n<li>A war on Halloween.<\/li>\n<li>A war on fossil fuels.<\/li>\n<li>A war on the constitution.<\/li>\n<li>A war on ladies&#8217; night.<\/li>\n<li>A war on Fisherman.<\/li>\n<li>A war on salt.<\/li>\n<li>A war on chocolate milk.<\/li>\n<li>A war on sugary drinks.<\/li>\n<li>A war on food.<\/li>\n<li>A nanny state war on spuds.<\/li>\n<li>A war on conservative women.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Today Newsbusters has come out swinging with a critique that illustrates how desperately poor their comprehension skills are. They seem to have missed the obvious fact that this was a satire directed at Fox News and jumped straight to a conniption fit over Christians who must now be sorely offended. The more obvious explanation is that the Newsbusters couldn&#8217;t really find any fault with Stewart&#8217;s hilarious analysis of Fox News so they had to find another avenue for their umbrage. They latched onto the Christian angle for which they got support from the uber-rightist, political operation (disguised as a religious civil rights group), the Catholic League. The League&#8217;s leader, Bill Donohue, is taking the war on Jon Stewart to another level:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;We are asking Stewart to apologize. If he does not, we will mobilize Protestants, Jews, Mormons and Muslims to join us in a boycott of his sponsors. Moreover, we will not stop with a boycott; there are other things that can be done to register our outrage. We are prepared to spend the money it takes to make this a nationwide issue, and we are prepared to stay the course..<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>I must admit that I&#8217;m curious as to what other things Donohue has in mind in addition to his boycott threat. Perhaps he is plotting a nationwide prayer vigil to beseech God to smite all comic apostates. And Donohue&#8217;s willingness to throw cash at the controversy can only be creating anxiety over at Comedy Central. I&#8217;m sure that Jon Stewart is shaking in his clown shoes at the thought of the wrath that is about to come down on him.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/media.mtvnservices.com\/embed\/mgid:cms:video:thedailyshow.com:412606\" width=\"512\" height=\"288\" frameborder=\"0\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Once again the selective fury of the right has conservatives aghast over a comedy bit by Jon Stewart, despite their silence, and even defense of, far more revolting remarks by Ted Nugent that were made in all seriousness.
