Jon Stewart On Wisconsin Protests: "Taking Away A Union's Right To Collective Bargaining Makes Them Just A Bunch Of People Wearing Identical T-Shirts"

Crisis In Dairyland - Stewart on the Wisconsin union protests - Feb. 22, 2011

Don't assume anything before you watch this.  Stewart attacks both sides for melodrama and the media for revolutionary hyperbole, in a thorough look at the events in Wisconsin.

• "Is it the same as people in the Middle East overthrowing years of dictatorship?  Or is that just the last story you saw on the news?"

• "That can't be right. Take away a union's collective bargaining rights?  I believe that makes them just a bunch of people wearing identical T-shirts."

• "Do you see what's happening here?!  The Wisconsin union protest is the bizarro Tea Party!  Yes!  You've all seen that episode of 'Super Man'."

What makes you think that you must abide by a "legislature"'s decisions? They're just a bunch of people who won a bunch of popularity contests. So do some on *American Idol*. You have less rights because somebody else gets together and says so... are you sure it's actually, physically true? Nothing looks different. They're only trying to hypnotize you.

It's all just stage-manipulated delusion.

Just collectively bargain and unionize anyway, whether others like it or not!

You're free! Your lives are your own! Live them as you will!
