Jon Stewart's epic back-and-forth takedown on Fox's Nazi hypocrisy

HuffPost

Last week, Stewart had some strong words for Rep. Steve Cohen, who likened the Republican party's views on government-owned health care to Nazi lies. To his surprise, Stewart's comments were echoed all over Fox News, with everyone -- including Karl Rove -- saying Cohen should be ashamed of himself.

"If that guy is telling you you should feel shame, that's like Charlie Sheen showing up at your intervention to tell you to take it down a notch."

Although the majority of Fox News pundits spoke out against Nazi name-calling, it was Megyn Kelly who took it to a hypocritical level by saying that kind of rhetoric doesn't exist on Fox News.

As he does best, Stewart produced an impressive slew of clips showing Fox News pundits using Nazi comparisons, including Bill O'Reilly's mind-boggling claim that there's "no difference" between what Hitler did and what HuffPost does.

But he didn't stop there. Watch the rest of the clip to see Jon Stewart find more than just unfair Nazi comparisons on Fox News, but an instance of such name-calling within the same 24 hours of Megyn Kelly's comment, a Fox News pundit making the same Joseph Goebbels comparison as Steve Cohen, Fox News President Roger Ailes calling someone Hitler, and another Nazi remark on Megyn Kelly's own show.

"Well, Ms. Kelly," Stewart said. "Don't you look ridiculous now?"

HuffPostAfter Stewart called out Steve Cohen's use of a Goebbels reference to describe GOP behavior, Megyn Kelly of Fox News said there is no Nazi rhetoric used on Fox News. But Stewart proved with a slew of clips that Fox was being hypocritical.

In one of those clips, Bill O'Reilly made a mind-boggling comparison between HuffPost and Hitler. Seeing it on "The Daily Show" didn't sit well with the Fox News host, who said on his next show that the clip was edited in a way took it out of context. Stewart responded:

Why you used the Nazi reference doesn't really matter in this. The segment is for Megyn Kelly to take offense to, not you. It's not all about you, Bill!"

Watch the rest of the clip to hear Stewart's impeccable speeding analogy that should really put the entire Nazi name-calling debate to bed.

Fox News take on nuclear treaty is a fair and balanced mushroom cloud

This is nuts. Seriously nuts. How can this possibly be balanced journalism?

Fox News Code Pink/Teabagger hypocrisy

First, let me state that I'm not a fan of groups of nutsos no matter what side they're on. That includes Code Pink. There are more effective ways of getting your point across than being an asshole.

That having been said, it's interesting to see what Fox considers rude behavior.

Media Matters

The Fox News crew broke out the smelling salts when some anti-war protesters from Code Pink recently heckled Karl Rove at a California stop on his book tour. Appalled by Code Pink's actions, Fox News condemned the rude behavior.

"Who are you to silence his voice," Fox News' Megyn Kelly demanded to know, while interviewing Code Pink's Jodie Evans, who had confronted Rove at the California event, demanding answers about how the administration, in her words, lied the nation into war.

Yet when the teabaggers formed their mobs and shouted down anyone disagreeing with their position at last summer's town hall fiascoes, they were treated like heroes.

Why the double standard Fox? Why the hypocrisy Megyn?
