Jon Stewart, never one to pull punches, addressed a college audience in Boston over the weekend - and in this video clip, he has some choice words for Sarah Palin in response to her take on small towns in the U.S. representing the “pro-American” parts of the country.
Jon Stewart says in the video clip, “She said that small towns, that’s the part of the country she really likes going to because that’s the pro-America part of the country. You know, I just want to say to her, just very quickly: Fuck you.”
Jon Stewart continued:
“I’ve never seen someone with a greater disparity between how cute they sound when they’re saying something and how terrible what they’re saying is.
Don’t ya know, Obama, by golly, he just is a terrorist? What? Oh, you know, he just, gosh, kills babies, you know.
I’m so over the idea that only small-town America is the heart and soul. Small-town America is fine, but it’s the same as cities. Cities are just a lot of towns piled on top of each other in one place.
They have this whole thing that somehow we can write off entire swaths of the country, that we are somehow…I get it. You know, New York City wasn’t good enough for [expletive] Osama bin Laden, it better be good enough for you.
I can’t take it anymore. After eight years of this divisiveness, we’re back to this idea that only small-town America is the real America.
I get it. I’m from New York. We have a lot of gay people. But homosexuals don’t have sodomy on Russian flags.”
