Jon Stewart Joke Makes It Onto Glenn Beck's Book Jacket (PHOTO)

Unless you've never seen an episode of "The Daily Show" in your life, you probably know that Jon Stewart has a love/hate relationship with Glenn Beck, and by love/hate we mean that he loves to hate him. That's why we were really surprised to see who was quoted on the cover of the paperback version of Glenn Beck's "Arguing With Idiots."

There it is: one of Stewart's better slams against Beck, with a terrible review by Time to boot. Does Beck not understand sarcasm? Or is this HIS idea of a joke? While we try to figure that out, go ahead and laugh at the fact that someone at Beck's publishing company might be getting canned. (Via The Live Feed)

You people have no idea how much credit he gets just from the fact that socialists hate him so much.

We will be laughing at those quotes at the polls to.

Almost time, you aren't ready for November.

One of the early tests for Dementia is reaction to sarcasm. Colbert proved that.

My gosh. Is this report for real? Look at all of Beck's other books. He always puts quotes people who hate him. He knows people hate him. It's a JOKE. The truth hurts, thus he knows he has enemies. Get over it.

The JOKE is that you believe that everything that Beck says is the truth. Besides, Stewart doesn't hate Beck... where else could he get such great material for his show?!? It's a hilarious quote!

In case someone is curious to see the daily show segment that quote is from, here it is:

It is from 2006, while Glenn was still on CNN and before he had his super big break on Fox News.

It is not as absurd as you may think. To quote those blurbs, first from a newspaper that NEVER recognized in its time (the 1930's) the famine and mass murders of the stalinist soviet union and fails to recognize that cover up even now, then from a guy always willing to criticize Bush et al., but not the current president (truth to power!), well, if you consider those facts, then those blurbs are almost a badge of honor. That Beck guy may not be as kook and dumb as the MSM want to paint it, for sure.

Sparky, if a major concern of yours today is Time MAGAZINE's lack of respnse to Stalin, I can only assume you either haven't been paying attention for the last 80 years or you just emerged from a very, very long coma.

And if you think Stewart doesn't criticize Obama, you haven't been watching. Try not to label something a fact when, well, it isn't.

Obviously you do not watch the Daily Show. Stewart rips into Obama quite often.

John Stewart should appreciate the free publicity he is once gaining because of Beck!

He does! On Oprah he said that Beck was his cash cow and his kids college fund! Beck quotes Stewart thinking that he's fooling you into thinking he's smart or should I say smart by association.

The message to his base is simple.
The enemy of my enemy is my friend. You hate these people (Jon Stewart: effete liberal Yankee Jew; and and the 'Time magazine: The "lame stream media" flagship. Textbook logical fallacy but I'm not confident that those who are considering buying this book will cotton onto it.

Not a mistake, suppose to be funny,actually is.

Go figure. A guy that made 24 million last year actually understands how to market a book.

That's the genius of Beck.

He knows what sells. He doesn't have to believe what he says, just as long as someone else buys it.

When people make comments about "Southerners" or about Red State/ Blue State, keep in mind that nearly every urban area, North AND South, voted against the Republicans, and, check a map, many, many rural areas, South AND North, including liberal states like Massachusetts and New York, voted majority for the Republicans. There is also a race-ethnic factor. Ya gotta look deeper than just the simplistic "North/South or Red State/Blue State".

Okay, another bit of proof for my theory that Glenn Beck is a secret liberal out to point out the stupidity of the Fox News viewers. He must be wondering how many more hints he can plant before people get it!

I'm pretty sure the publisher knew what he was doing, since the back cover of the hardback version has quotes that are insults against Beck. He in no way intended to put this on the book thinking it was a compliment.

haha this is hysterical

this is why beck viewers can't watch the daily show. They dont get the jokes cause they're........dumb

[Morath]

09:22 PM on 09/19/2010

they dont watch it because all they talk about is fox news and beck... so might as well just watch fox news and beck.

foxnewsbeck, foxnewsbeck, john liebowitz is the best henny youngman impersonator I've ever seen, foxnewsbeck, foxnewsbeck, his best work was on "remote control", foxnewsbeck, foxnewsbeck,
Actually, I try to stomach about 15 minutes of TDS, but seriously, how much narcisisstic snark can one man take. Meanwhile, the trained seals in the audience SUCK. IT. UP. Makes you wonder who the imbecilic sheep are, soesn't it?

So the guy makes 24 million last year and knows a thing or two about marketing. Coming back to reality is it possible that he actually does 'get it' as does his fans and your the one that doesn't? I'd have to say that scenario is much more plausable.

I find it interesting that people always point to money as a measure of who is to be admired.

[Millie Lencioni]

It is very telling that Beck would use a quote from Stewart and make it look like a compliment. It's a slam, Glen.

[Morath]

09:21 PM on 09/19/2010

ya because someone making 32 million dollars a year is that ignorant.... wait but you just may be.

Considering Beck's level of intelligence, I'm betting he thought it was an endorsement.
