Jon Stewart Takes On Fox News' 'Class Warfare' Claims

On Thursday night's "Daily Show" Jon Stewart took a break from speculating about the GOP presidential race and did a lengthy segment on conservative pundits' contradictory views about the rich and the poor when it comes to deciding how to lower the deficit.

While the GOP wants to make low-level spending cuts to social, educational and other programs, President Obama and company suggest taxing the mega-rich. So it was pretty surprising this week when Warren Buffet wrote his op-ed saying he and his millionaire cohorts ought to be paying more taxes. Fox News called it "Class Warfare," with one pundit even calling Buffett a Socialist, which got a hilarious reaction from Stewart:

"You really have no f**king clue what Socialism is, do you?"

1. Ah yes, that would be Eric Bolling from (quel surprise) Faux.
He's a particularly worthless blob of Laissez-Fail Tub Girling who thinks anyone to the left of, say, Henry Kravis is a commie. And no, he couldn't buy a clue if it were on clearance at MalWart.

2. Since the American poor haven't hit Somali level poverty, they are really middle class!
Obviously! :sarcasm:

5. However everyone knows 86.5% of all statistics are made up on the spot.
:shrug: It is no wonder I keep bumping into all those refrigerators when I see the homeless on the streets..
