Jon, please read your history, and recognize the REAL “war criminals.” “Give-em-hell Harry” was one of the BEST presidents this country ever had.
What a tool.
[...] the original post: Update: ‘Daily Show’ Host Apologizes For Calling Truman a War Criminal Filed Under: Latest News [...]
Watch the interview here:
http://www.blackfive.net/main/2009/04/cliff-may-kicks-jon-stewarts-ass.html
Cliff May showed the audience what an idiot this guy is. Absolutely hammered him. And got him to say that Truman was a war criminal.
Priceless!
I may have mentioned during the discussion we were having that Harry Truman was a war criminal — MAY HAVE? Come on John, be honest with yourself and start with — I SAID!
Ain’t it funny how Liberals can’t manage to deal with the TRUTH??
He apologized to keep his job, not because he thinks he was wrong. Typical Hollywood leftist air-head.
Stewart’s comments take away from the liberal argument that only Republican’s are war criminals. Do you ever notice how the Left always blames America for bombing Japan but not Truman who was a Democrat?! Every Liberal thinks using the A-bomb to end WWII was a war crime, even Stewart. Cliff May brilliantly tricked Stewart into an honest answer that hurts the liberal arguments of today and now you see Stewart backing off. Go Figure…
Here, I will lay out what happened and why
1) Leftist Stewart has no morals but bases his statements on relativistic concepts. Specifically, if you were a republican or a conservative you deserve to be bashed.
2) So, in Stewarts small leftist brain, he could not remember that Truman was a Democrat. So here he is doing his typical leftist mindless drooling, thinking if Truman did something military he must be a Republican so he feels free to call Truman a war criminal.
3) Democrats, also being relativistic putzes with no morals reminds Stewart that it is a big no no to call a Democrat a war criminal in public because well, it wont sell well in politics if conservatives say even Jon Stewart calls a Democrat president a war criminal.
4) Stewart, realizing his party affiliation checklist error quickly and happily apologizes for his Truman error.
5) Stewart, now in leftist recovery spin mode starts to point out that well, dropping a nuke bomb is a difficult decisions for any president (especially a Democrat) to make, and must be reviewed thoughtfully, etc, blah blah blah.
Besides “I’m sorry”…you should also be saying “Thank you” to Truman.
If it hadn’t been for Truman, you might’ve been saying “Arigato” to Hirohito.
Or maybe even, “Sayonara” to free speech altogether.
America…what is wrong with these Democratzi?
Have they lost their minds? Under their conditions we should go back and investigate every President that ever served…doesn’t set a good precedent for future Presidents either!
If he knew right after it came out of his mouth, why didn’t he immediately retract it?
Instead it got a laugh…and that is his main job to make people laugh…not be an expert on the policies of past, present or future Presidents!
So don’t try and be the voice of America liberals…bubba…do your job and entertain!
====================
JUST ANOTHER PATHETIC DAY IN THE “REIGN OF BARRY HUSSEIN” AND HIS LIBERAL COMEDIC RELIEF MSM!
Truman was a DEMOCRAT so now he is “not” a war criminal.
DEMOCRATS good.
REPUBLICANS bad.
That is all it boils down to.
Jon can’t make up any more shit about Bush, and his audience is sick of his adulation of obama’s swagga….
You’re really digging deep there boy…
What a jerk this guy is. And what’s with the laughter at at this moron’s slightest wording. Stewart starts out that he said something that shouldn’t have been said, and his audience is rolling in the aisles. He says his comment was dumb, and they laugh. He continues with that it was dumb, and they laugh.
What’s up with these liberals? Are they so immoral and so totally devoid of judgment that all they can do comfortably is laugh?
Continuing good news folks.
1) NY Times losing money
2) LA Times losing money
3) Washington Post losing money
4) Fox doing better than ever.
mark, you can cry now. BTW, remind us how you are gay one more time. It has been awhile since you slip in your gayness for no apparent logical reason on earth on most of your posts.
Stewert admitted his mistake, I guess that’s not ENOUGH for all you stellar humans who have ever misspoken…oh well.
[...] (5/1/09 12:40 PM PDT): Hey, it really is only 15 minutes — or in this case, about 15 hours: Jon Stewart apologizes for calling Truman a war criminal. He’s still not too keen on Warren G. Harding, though. [...]
Stewert did not apologise to keep his job…what absolute RUBBISH.
Stewert says all kinds of toilet humor references, posts “CLUSTERF*CK To The White House”,
think some online portion of his discussion which wasn’t aired on the show threatened his job…on Comedy Central?….seriously that is dumb for EVEN HERE.
It’s a start. Maybe now he can ponder whether pouring water on the face of the guy who planned 9/11 in order to prevent another attack is more of a war crime than nuking hundreds of thousands of people to end a war.
Give Stewart credit for a rare showing of class (and yes, it hurts me to type that out).
Now that he’s admitted that there were hypocritical gaps in his logic reasoning regarding interrogations, I can only hope that he’ll revisit the debate and work through his own inconsistencies.
It isn’t fair that he called Truman a war criminal to “win” (*cough*) a debate when he was pinned down by superior logic, and then recant when Mr. May was gone.
[...] the future, everyone will be a war criminal for 15 minutes –or in this case, about 15 hours: Jon Stewart apologizes for calling Truman a war criminal. He’s still not too keen on Warren G. Harding, [...]
Since Stewarts audience is leftist and since Truman was a Democrat then yes, logically it makes sense that Stewart got heat from other leftists for thinking that Truman was a republican and had to withdraw his claim to save his job and his political view. mark of course will say otherwise because mark is a complete moron on every issue. So a person with brains should easily ignore marks leftist whining for what it is. Useless.
Whimsical apology, with no remorse. I think he actually believes that Harry Truman was a war criminal.
Can we just air drop this little jerk into tribal pakistan already?? I’m sure UBL will abide by the Geneva Convention and feed Mr. Stewart his Kosher meals.
It’s hard to take him serious with that clown nose he has on.
Completely pwnd. His viewers are tools, and he’s the entire toolbox.
My dad missed WWII by only months, if he had to participate in a ground assault on Japan I might not be here today.
Wow kmichaels, you sure love using the word “leftist” in your comments.
Like so many comments here and on hotair.com you’re very predictable with your labels: “socialist” “leftist” “demoCRAT” etc…
I guess you don’t know what time it is.
Absurd name calling, bizarre exaggerations of what events mean, mind-reading the opposition makes you out to be just like one of the crazies still whining about Obama’s birth certificate outside a teabag rally.
You’re shoveling dirt on the coffin of the GOP
IF Stewerts audience was LEFTISTS from the 1930’sand 1940’s they might have different opinions about Truman…that ain’t Stewert’s audience, and NEVER WAS.Stewert’s audience was mainly born after 1980’s.
glad he apologized, better than sending out a spokesperson to lie.
These two-bit twits like Stewart never cease to amaze. Their ignorance and their self-centered drivel speak volumes . And this is supposed to be “Prime Time TV”! Unfortunately, it may well be the best these morons can do for entertainment.
It never ceases to amaze me that morons like Stewart and so many others think that we simply bombed Japan just for the hell of it. Japan wa sengaged in a war of conquest throughout Asia for years before the snaek attack on Pearl Harbor. Ask any Chinese, Malaysian, Korean, Filipino, Thai, Burmese, or Solomon Islander who was live at the time if we committed a “war crime” by dropping the bomb on Japan. There answer would be a collective “No.” Simple fact: Japan was prepared to fight to the last man, woman and child if the Allies had been compelled to invade the Japanese home islands. Hundreds of thousands of Allied soldiers, sailors, marines, and airmen would have died in the process. Stewart’s attitude is the smug, holier-than-thou idiocy of a generation that knows the price of everything and the cost of nothing. The war needed to end, the ball was in Japan’s court to surrender, they hemmed and hawed, and they paid for it. They weren’t the victims. the real victims were raped and butchered by the Japanese and buried in nameless graves from Nanking to New Guinea and from Singapore to Wake Island.
mark, dumbarse, I am pretty sure that leftists come in lots of age groups and that Stewart is followed by old leftists too. mark, just because you are a 17 year old immature troll does not mean that all of Stewarts audience are as young and as stupid as you are. Not to mention the fact that the word of what Stewart said went well beyond his own show, you dimwitted twit. Bottom line, Stewart apologized because of his politics and his job. Not because of any morals that that moralless dweeb is supposed to have.
This sarcastic, mean spirited,lying creep could spend the next 6 months apologizing for the hate speach he has spit out against Palin,Bush,Cheney…the Catholic Church…the Boy Scouts,O’Reilly,Hannity, Fox News…and anyone who stands for traditional Christian values and still not have enough time.
He’s another so-called Reformed Jew who practices nothing really Jewish who thinks he’s above all others…except his real Messiah..Obama.
The only time I ever saw him act emotional was when he attacked the guy from CNN over his not seeing the economic wreck the Dems gave us…Why? Because Jon Boy lost money in it!
kmichaels I’m 56yo
I’m hardly the usual Stewert audience. He has the highest ratings in the MOST sought after demographic 18-35yo.
That’s why he’s so popular, because he delivers YOUNGER audience, advertisers desperetly WANT.
@peterC
Really icky anti semetism sh*t in your post. Like it’s YOUR duty to judge the Good Jews from the Bad Jews.
btw….neither of them give a sh*t what some goy named peter thingks.
Like I said a long time ago mark, if it turned out that you were just young it would excuse your stupidity a little bit. I also pointed out that if it turns out that you were older it would prove that you were one of the biggest retards on earth. I guess you just proved that you are not young and naive but that biggest retard on earth. All that age with no wisdom just proves that you are an incredibly slow learner. You have yet to get any issue correct. You stand for some of the most sleazy arse backwards things possible and your choices continue to prove what kind of worthless troll you are. Your stupid idea that 35 year olds wont know that Truman was a democrat and your insistence that Stewarts news about calling Truman a war criminal does not get around to most leftists again is yet another sign of your serious mental retardation. But then, since you are so damn proud of your stupid choice of being gay it comes as no surprise that you would be proud of all the other retarded stances you take on every other issue.
thinks…mis typed above
kmichaels
from EVERY LGBT,,,,to you
poor mark seems to be getting the worst of every debate. Most likely because he has the brains of a 3rd grader and the mindless hate of an extremist muslim. So much for the tolerant gay community. Nothing but a myth apparently. I love seeing the true colors of the idiot leftists shining through.
Here is a list of their common colors
1) hateful
2) misinformed
3) backwards thinking
4) intolerant
5) stupid
Stewart accidentally let his true colors be shown.
You know, the words ‘liberal’, ’socialist’ and ‘leftist’ get tossed around here pretty casually. Have any of you ever been to a liberal blog? They say similar (opposite of course) things about you. From the middle, you all look the same, liberals AND conservatives. Spiteful. Bitter. Contemptible. Your every comment and quip is dripped in arrogant self-assuredness, drunk in the assertion that your and only your movement is right and just. You make me sick, both of you.
The Daily Idiot should be cancelled.
I can’t remember the document name, but there was a report created back in ‘44 that estimated casualties on both sides if the U.S. were to invade Japan. The death count was in the millions, include the majority of Japan’s population. Top that off with the fact the Russians were heading east to assault the islands as well to claim their “piece” and it was good in the long run that Japan remained Japan.
Stewart the moron seems to have never opened a history book or performed a single minute of research. Why would he? He’s a comic. His show is a comedy/fake news show, only the left has turned to him because their actual news networks are such a joke.
Finally, if Truman were in politics today, he’d be a republican.
After the retaking of the Marianas Islands in mid 1944, Japan was carpet bombed almost daily by B-29’s flown from Tinian. Regardless, their War Department had convinced the Emperor that surrender was not an option.
Carpet bombing was not discrimnate. It took out infrastructure yes, but it also took out civilians. Japan’s rulers did not care. About 100,000 people were killed in Nagasaki and Hiroshima. Many more than that were killed in the carpet bombings.
I’m sure the whiners who want to rewrite history will say poor Japan. Yes, poor Japan who:
1. Conducted chemical and biological experiments on the Koreans, Chinese, and filipinos.
2. Were building two atomic bombs of their own, one in Korea and one in Hokkaido.
3. Slaughtered hundreds of thousands in concentration camps (yes, the Japanese had them too).
Jon, stop to get your facts straight before opening your mouth. You sound like Ahmedinejad….
I like kmichels list of the 5 aspects of idiots. Too bad he tries to pin it on leftists when it really applies to most everyone taking part in this conversation, probably me included for posting!
Jon Stewart is a culture war criminal.
Superior schmucks like mike make the rest of us sick.
mike, liberal, socialist, and leftist are the driving forces behind our current administration. i do not use these words casually and i do not care what you think. if you called yourself a real moderate then why do you take such umbrage. in terms of arrogant self -assuredness….well here goes…..socialism from these leftist liberal loonies will be the destruction of this country. i am right, i know i am right, and if you live long enough to realize the truth then you’ll know i was right and regret your ignorance.
Stupid F’n idiot.
Phil, right on. One of the reasons japan fears nth korea is that koreans have a right to be upset to the extreme. their women were forced into being pleasure slaves for the imperial forces(tens of thousands). the same soldiers that tossed the korean, filipino and chinese babies in the air to impale on their bayonets.
Yes, liberals call conservatives evil and conservatives call liberals evil. But conservatives just happen to be correct.
This reminds me of a gay straight debate on TV years ago. The straights correctly pointed out that the New Testament states that being gay is serious sin. The gay side then claimed that the scriptures also state that you should not call good evil and evil good, which is truly a scripture in the New Testament. The difference however is that the scriptures were talking about the gays calling being gay good when the scriptures also are very clear about being gay being a serious sin.
That is the difference. Liberals do indeed call conservatives evil and cons call liberals evil. But one side is truthful (conservatives) and the liberals are lying.
I call good good and evil evil.
Libs call evil good and good evil.
Debate all you want but it wont change the truth.
Liberals are ok with drilling holes in the brains of human babies and sucking out their brains.
I am correctly against this evil practice.
Libs call this practice acceptable.
I call that practice evil.
I am right, they are wrong. Sorry but the truth is bold and blunt and liberals dont get it, dont have it and dont seem to even want it. The truth that is.
Excerpted from above:
Some scholars also have suggested that knowledge of the level of Japanese reinforcement efforts was reflected in a statement Truman described some years later as having been made by Marshall at Potsdam. In a 12 January 1953 letter responding to a query from an Air Force historian, the President noted that, after he had learned of the successful nuclear weapon test, he asked Marshall about casualties that would be incurred in carrying the planned invasions through to the Tokyo Plain. The published version of Truman’s letter states that Marshall told him it would cost “at a minimum one quarter of a million casualties and might cost as much as a million.”
A quarter of a million is roughly the level–220,000–that the Joint War Plans Committee, in its paper prepared for Truman’s 18 June meeting, had estimated would result if Japan’s surrender required seizing all of Kyushu plus the Tokyo Plain. As was noted earlier in this study, those figures, taking into account various scenarios and the duration of the operation for which the casualties were estimated, were consistent with estimates made at the same time by the staffs of MacArthur and Nimitz.
To many observers at the time, the quarter-million figure put forward in June by the Joint War Plans Committee could well have seemed intimidating. By comparison, the combined casualty figure for MacArthur’s campaign through the Philippines, Okinawa, and Iwo Jima was 133,000. For Normandy, from D-Day through 48 days of conflict, losses were 63,360. For the Battle of the Bulge they were 59,000. (64)
Nor should the evidence be construed as indicating that concern over casualties was the only factor exerting critical force on the A-bomb decision. What the evidence does indicate is that the view of the bomb as a potential way to end the war quickly–in the hope of (1) avoiding the need for an invasion with resulting casualties that by any standard would be of intimidating proportions, (2) minimizing the USSR’s postwar leverage, and (3) not having to confront debate over concessions on the terms of unconditional surrender–was the driving force in the minds of the US leadership team before Potsdam, and before the acquisition of intelligence showing much-larger-than-expected Japanese forces on Kyushu. Nonetheless, it is certainly plausible that the buildup disclosed by early August reinforced the belief that the decision to use the bomb was the path of least resistance.
His apology makes it sound like this just somehow slipped out by accident, that he realized his mistake as it was coming out of his mouth and regretted saying it instantly.
But that’s not what the clip of the interview shows at all. He was very slow and reflective in his answer, saying “yeah” a couple times in response. I think the ones trying to “reel it back in” as he said it was Comedy Central.
He didn’t regret what he said. He was “told” to regret what he said. His jokey apology showed no sincerity at all. I like John Stewart and The Daily Show for what it is. That’s why I hate to see him reduced to obvious pandering and BS-ing like that.
Makes him look like a politician. ~M

Says the putrid little maggot who wished I’d contract AIDS,
I’ve frequented MANY very radically progressive websites and forums, and I’ve NEVER seen a liberal wish some Republican would contract AIDS.
you folks are just “special” that way.
Like the way Limbaugh shakes and gyrates to mock Michael J Fox’s Parkinson’s Disease.
STAY classy
faux DOKTOR jay
The US armed forces monitored and medicated the filipino hookers and whore hoses and bar’s boom boom girls to SERVICE the US military on R and R.
In Viet Nam in major cities children were used for sexual playthings, both underage girls and boys.
Many of the street hustler boys ended up being evacuated to imigrate to America. I’ve met some of them, because large numbers of Vietnamese and Hmong immigrants were placed in MN and WI. So many of them as adults, frequented gay bars I knew.
hoses-houses…typo
I can’t believe this… Jon said a stupid thing, and then said he was sorry. wtf do you want him to do??? Not say he was sorry? move along? LOL. He said he was wrong, and sorry. If you can’t even give him credit for that, then you are really, really sad. I gave credit to O’reilly on the whole Octomom thing. You can’t even accept an apology.. How truly sad you people are.
marc…no need to correct your typos.
Nobody reads your whiny comments anyway.
to compare a very small number of bad servicemen in the US to the systemic brutality of the imperial army of japan truly displays the depth of your ignorance. it is sort of like comparing you to my really cool gay patients whom i take at face value.
in essence you know, aids was the best thing to happen to your kind. no really, think about it. a man that goes down to the local bathhouse and plants his behind up to some random glory hole is a deviant much like an IV drug abuser. the death of so many people was a tragedy but the reigning in of the real deviants in your group and the heroin addicts has been nice.
jay
“aids was the best thing to happen to your kind”
ABSOLUTELY NO f*ckin doctor would EVER say that…NONE.
You foul G*D D*MN piece of SH*T!
btw…I’ll screen print this putrid post as representative of breibart…no matter if they later remove it.
hahahahaha, i knew that would upset you. i passed on a wonderful compassionate story and you were too pathological to accept it and decided to be a jerk. look what it got you, your panties in a big wad now. you even spell doctor correctly.
have the screen print
Look for it posted on other websites.
I could give a flying f*ck about this jay, I’ll never respond again to anything he posts. It’s breibart tv who will have their reputation smeared all across the RATIONAL forums.
dont go away mad now, just go away
dr jay is right and I hope you did back up to a glory hole and catch AIDS as well as Hep A, B and C Mark. Mark your kind deserves every horrible STD that comes your way. You desecrate everything that is good, just and moral in the world and you deserve to have the wrath of God upon you and your kind. My prediction is that the Bay Area of California will fall fall into the ocean after a massive earthquake. Just because something is popular doesn’t make it right and the world is in big trouble right now because of idiots like you.
Mark,
I read some of your other retarded posts that further my opinions about your kind. Why do you think that the Vietnamese frequented gay bars? Maybe because gay people are screwed up in the head after going through some form of perverse trauma. You should go get professional help for your phallis loving ways. BTW many gay men love young boys which perpetuates the cycle of abuse.
You sicko GAY nuts and you sicko ANTI-GAY nuts ought to “take it outside,” and leave these posting sites to people who want to discuss the TOPIC at hand.
Seems every one of the threads on breitbart eventually devolves into disgusting US vs THEM GAY vs ANTIGAY nonsense.
The topic of this article is Jon Stewart calling Harry Truman a “war criminal.” Get on topic, or get OFF the thread, you nasty morons!
P.S. We and most Americans dearly LOVE Harry Truman! He DID what he HAD TO DO. GROW UP.
Dear Get on Topic or Get off the Thread…thank you!
@WASP
The reason the Vietnamese gay men frequented gay bars…is cuz they’re GAY.
You are as putrid as Pat Robertson blaming 9/11 on gays and abortionists, or Falwell blaming Katrina on gays, even though the gay neighborhoods of New Orleans were the LEAST damaged areas of the city, and rebounded FIRST.
You holier-than-thous twist terrorist attacks, viruses, and natural disasters to fill your sick JUDGEMENT DAY fantasies.
GO DUST YOUR G*D DAMN Rapture coffee table books …cupcake.
Ya’ll stop picking on mark or he’ll tell.
Besides, he’s just trying to “have a life”.
doogle…cupcake
I’m more than 3/4ths through my life, I’ve already outlived my paternal grandfather and father…I’ve HAD a life which was lived on MY TERMS, and gave me joy most of the time.
When you get to that stage of life, you’ll still be a snarky BITTER LOSER, and you only go around ONCE.
I don’t know who he’s directing his non-apology “apology” to, but in his moment of epiphany and self-reflection, he might also want to think about at least 50% of the other things he has said only for ratings or political favoritism and maybe have the guts to go out and argue his points on more neutral territory, rather than bait guests into his home and ridicule them. Stewart – the hypocrite too ashamed to even use his real birth name while criticizing others for being deceptive and untruthful – has gone so far beyond what he once criticized the CNN show Crossfire for. Anyway, the only people who can’t see through his agenda yet are his like-minded pseudo-intellectual warm-spittle bathing buddies in the audience, the vacuous droids in Janeane Garofalo’s Great Unwashed fanclub, and the self-engrossed on the Upper West Side of New York. Stewart/Liebowitz jumped the shark a long time ago, with his on-trick-pony double-takes. Only in America can you beat a novelty act into the ground over and over and over and over again and it still remains popular to some!
Stage names aren’t exactly a NEW concept, it says NOTHING about pride/shame in one’s birth name.
oh noez, conservatives are offended by something! the white house is being run into the ground! time to succeed, boys! don’t forget to march to the beat of foxnews.
Why did he apoligize? Simple. Because after the fac he remembered Truman was a democrat. Can’t have a member of the enlightened party labeled as a genocidal maniac now can we?
[...] a big man to admit he screwed up and take a principled stand. It takes a phony liberal elitist to apologize for the sake of protecting his television [...]
mark, the gay blog is down the hall, three doors to the left. You’ll know it when you get there. A picture of Jon Stewart is hanging on the wall next to Barry and his teleprompter.
[...] a big man to admit he screwed up and take a principled stand. It takes a phony liberal elitist to apologize for the sake of protecting his television [...]
