Default Donald Trump accuses John Stewart of "racist rant"

Didn't Fox news already accuse John Stewart of being racist the last time he made fun of Herman Cain? And if I recall, it lead to a very hilarious episode of the Daily Show. I have the Daily Show on series record all this week and next, I absoluetly can't wait for his response.

"How come Jon Stewart gets away with a very, very racist rant about Herman Cain? Nobody else could pull that off. Where is Rev. Jesse Jackson? Where is Rev. Al Sharpton? Where are all the critics that if somebody else did it, it would be a disaster?"
Quote:
"It's not what he said, but the way he said it. The tone of his voice, the inflection. Unbelievable. Anybody else, deep deep trouble."
Quote:
"Where is sleepy-eyed Chuck Todd?" he added, referring to the MSNBC commentator. "When somebody else says something, even a little bit non-politically correct, they go after 'em. But when Jon Stewart does a horrible, horrible thing to the African-American community, they leave him alone."

I'll try and find video of Stewart's segment. If nothing turns up on youtube, you can always check the Comedy Network's site, this happened on Monday's episode, I believe.

One made himself into a media whore debacle and the other is an intelligent comedian that has earned respect through hard work and great programming.

Somebody will lose this game and it won't be Rose O'Donnell... I mean Jon Stewart!!

Donald Trump's hair offends me more than anything Jon Stewart could ever say.

Donald . . . . Your hair looks like Baked Alaska.

Your argument is invalid.

Stewart's response last night was awesome. They even brought out the round table to further dissect "The Blacks" in each party.

The funniest part of the whole show was when they did a joke on the Obama Hope poster

I don't even really understand how it was racist? I know it wasn't racist, but I just don't understand what Trump is even trying to point at?

Likely just trying to get some media attention.
