As a follow up to CB's post concerning the O-Bots' newfound distaste for snark, cynicism, and (I am adding this) satire, conveniently timed with The Messiah's Arrival in DC, I noticed that the leading "satirist" on Cable TV is now using his "satire" to attack Israel.

Not only that, Jon Stewart is allowing cranks on his show, to raucous applause, who are openly attacking Israel.

STEWART: Israel and the Palestinian situation, is that – does Obama change the game here? Can the game be changed? Or are we just watching two abused children consummate this dysfunctional relationship until both are mortally wounded? I mean what are we --  what are we dealing with?

ZAKARIA: The odd thing is at some level there's greater agreement among all parties that a two-state solution is the way to go and it's the right one. You have, you know, a majority of Israelis in poll after poll show they accept a two-state solution. Wasn't true 20 years ago. A majority of Palestinians, most of the time when you poll them, suggest a two-state solution is the way to go. A majority of the arab regimes have accepted a two-state solution as long as there's a withdrawal to ’67 borders with some land swaps. So at the theoretical level, you have greater agreement than ever before, but on a practical level on the ground, it seems further away than ever before, and I do have to blame Bush for this, to a certain extent. [Applause and cheers.]

STEWART (joking): Outrageous. Can I say this? I won't have it on my program! I said Good Day! [Laughter]

In all honesty, I used to like Stewart. But he developed a full bore case of BDS after the 2002 Election, and I couldn't take him anymore. Now he is nothing more than (yet) another version of KOS on TV.
