Get a load of Jon Stewart's questions
Meh, that's what he believes, and given that, I think he was very respectful of Ron Paul.
It's too bad the discussion diverged from the Fed and onto broader philosophical issues. Missed opportunity to plug the Audit the Fed bill? Still, kudos to Stewart for promoting the book.

I'd say those were some real good responses from Ron given the setting.
When asked about corporatism, he should have turned it around on Jon and asked what he meant by corporatism. As far as I know, it's the supporting of a group of people (usually a corporation) through use of a monopoly on force. Eliminate that monopoly or it's ability to support or grant special rights or privileges, and there is no corporatism.
Ivan Ivanov: Meh, that's what he believes, and given that, I think he was very respectful of Ron Paul.
Jon Stewart is actually very good about that. You can tell when he blatantly disagrees with the person he is interviewing (which is pretty often) but he somehow always manages to keep it civil and respectful.

Speaking of setting, what is the purpose of these studio audiences? Are they some sort of bulwark that serves to arouse an emotional response from people, when the comedy routine fails? They belong in a zoo.
People are afraid to laugh alone that is why they have studio audiences and laugh tracks on sitcoms. It makes you laugh or helps you too.

I do not really know much about Jon Stewart. What sort of policy does he normally advocate?
If I wrote it more than a few weeks ago, I probably hate it by now.

Was more referring to setting as in, you have roughly 30 seconds max to make your point.
He doesnt advocate anything, hes a comedian, though he has an authoritarian left bias
Taras Smereka: He doesnt advocate anything [...] he has an authoritarian left bias
He doesnt advocate anything [...] he has an authoritarian left bias
And, similarly, X equals not X. Is that correct?

He likes to agree and nod that "we need government to protect our rights and our way of life" and that we need protection from the dangers of the market.
