Jon Stewart takes down Sean Hannity on Cliven Bundy support


The Daily Show's Jon Stewart addressed Fox News host Sean Hannity's hypocrisy for taking up the banner of Nevada rancher Cliven Bundy and his supporters.

Bundy was locked in a standoff with the Bureau of Land Management earlier this month over unpaid grazing fees. Hannity gave Bundy a platform to explain his side of the dispute, and strongly implied last week that Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) and the federal government were planning to raid Bundy's ranch. No raid has since taken place.

"The law isn't on Bundy's side, the court isn't on Bundy's side, even the Nevada state constitution, which Bundy claims to abide, isn't on Bundy's side. Who the hell is on this guy's side?" Stewart wondered. "Hannity. I still don't get it."

Stewart goes on to point out that Hannity went berserk over a California surfer who admitted to "scamming the American people" by taking food stamps and buying lobster.

So, Hannity picks and chooses which laws he wants to see defended and which he does not....?
