Nazi Comparison

I do not think Stewart was being particularly biased for either party. Maybe at first glance, it seemed like he was taking aim at the Democrats for thinking that Republicans were trying to undermine them and destroy the healthcare plan, but as the segment went on, it shifted from the Democrats point of view to how the Republicans were taking it entirely out of proportion, having each show they air criticize Steve Cohen’s statement.  FOX news tried to make Cohen seem as if he were directly calling the Republicans. I feel as though political representatives, both Democrats and Republicans, have nothing better to do than to make the other party seem worse than they themselves are. They are always trying to prove their point without even realizing that their point of view is now being blurred because they are trying to prove the other party wrong. That’s basically what this whole situation was about. I think that whatever Cohen said could’ve been shifted to mean either anything good or anything bad. It just depends who the audience was. Within the statement “I didn’t say she was a Nazi; I said there’s no difference between what the two do”, I think the commentator was alluding to the fact that she is trying to use Nazi-like tactics. He is simply trying to make a comparison but could’ve chosen better words to use.
