A Polarized Society

Jon Stewart was recently on the CNN show Crossfire. While on there he talked about how much the show sucked. He told the hosts that they were the reason that America is so polarized. Of course, he wasn’t putting all the blame on them as individuals, but all of the media. Watch the clip here: Stewart on Crossfire

As you see, it is quite funny, yet he has a strong point. I read other people’s blogs and listen to other people talk, and while i do think Bush is terrible and am flabbergasted at how much his supporters stand by him, no matter what, I don’t hate people because of their political ideologies. It amazes me when people hate something someone says, no matter what it is, all because they belong to a different political party. I know a couple people like that, and it’s actually pretty pathetic. Do I hate all Republican’s because I tend to be more democratic? Of course not. Do I dislike a lot of Republican policies and stances on issues, of course, but I don’t hate Republicans as people. (well, maybe rush limbaugh, j/k ).
