Mary Katharine Ham of The Weekly Standard is up in arms because Jon Stewart told an audience he would like to say “Fuck you” to Sarah Palin in response to her “pro-America parts of the country” comment. Even more disturbing is that she is trying to equate the punchline of a comedian to the calls of violence at McCain/Palin rallies:
The media has devoted hundreds of stories of late to the tenor of audience comments at McCain-Palin rallies, fretting about “rage” and “incitement” by the campaign, but the only account of Stewart’s appearance is a one-sentence mention in the Boston Globe, and his abusive Palin comments are not included.
So saying “fuck you” is the equivalent of shouting “kill him”? This really shows how intellectually challenged the people on the right are. And basically Palin did say “fuck you” to people who aren’t in her “pro-America parts of the country”. That’s just a fact and a lot of people feel the same way.
