Jon Stewart Rips Attempted Secessionists And CEOs For Whining About Obama's Re-Election

http://www.businessinsider.com/jon-stew ... ma-2012-11

Even right wing bloggers have had it with this nonsense.

Barack Obama won the election.

He did not win by stealing the election. Voter irregularities always happen. It is one reason we support voter ID rules. But even in the worse scenario of reports out there, there were not enough tales of voter irregularities to matter nationwide. This is another benefit and built in safeguard of the electoral college.

Barack Obama won. He won by turning out the most people in a well run campaign. In other words, he won fair and square.

We here at RedState are American citizens. We have no plans to secede from the union. If you do, good luck with that, but this is not the place for you.

We have a place for you here if you wish to continue the fight against Republicans in Washington like John Boehner and Mitch McConnell who’d be happy to sell us down the river to keep their power, no matter how devoid of principle or sound policy. You have a place here if you’d like to keep fighting the Democrats who are intent on further stifling economic growth, pushing forward with Obamacare, bankrupting the nation, and siding with teachers unions against kids who deserve better.

Too many people have spent the past four years obsessed with birth certificates. Now they are obsessed with voter fraud conspiracies, talk of secession, and supposed election changing news stories if only we had known.

So let’s add dabblers in this latest nuttiness to birthers as a category of people we do not welcome at RedState. Our aim is to beat the Democrats, not beat a retreat to a Confederacy that Generals Grant and Sherman rent asunder well over a hundred years ago.

Even here at RedState, while we may not much care for him, President Obama is still our President and we are still quite happily citizens of the United States. If we must drain this fever swamp that’s taken hold of a few people on the right over this past week before we can drain the swamp in Washington, so be it.

All others need not apply.

We're seeing the REAL Americans separated from the fair weather Americans, aren't we? Turns out the fair weather Americans were all talk.

I even have a name for new county:

Whitelandia

Hahaha. 89,000 in Texas, which has what, 26 million people?

Whether these disgruntled folks are just conservatives venting about President Obama’s reelection, or whether they really believe they’d have a brighter future in the United State of Georgia, say, is an open question. But they’ve received a lot of media attention in recent days, to the point where some on the right are asking this question: Are these people just helping the left?

That’s because the whole thing goes beyond the appearance of sore losing and nears the outer rings of planet lunacy. It makes conservatives look unhinged and foolish, in this view, setting them up as easy targets for the mockery of liberals.

Basically agree with your entire post! However, instead of diverting attention to these guys, how about staying the course and drain the swamp in Washington? Hope you don't mind if I use that in conversations!

Agree, this is not helping the conservative cause. Just like the birthers, Trump, Muslim, communism, Fox News Bubble, Rove worshiping crowds, this is really showing a bad side to the rest of America. The GOP is in disarray and all of the extreme positions that are a part of the tent are showing how out of touch the party is. The GOP civil war between the fiscal and social conservatives may finally break the party in two. The Tea Party people may just turn their backs on the GOP and really become their own party at which point the GOP becomes the Whigs of the 21st century.

And yep, Joh Stewart NAILED it again.

Isn't it interesting that the people who seem to be interested in this silly secessionist movement are the "angry white guys" (and gals) that just found themselves on the wrong side of the Rightie polls, and the wrong side of the demographics, and the wrong side of history...

Hey, guys... YOU LOST... GET OVER IT.

Somehow I can't imagine you giving up if Willard had won and the Senate went over to the GOP.

Somehow I can't imagine you being stupid enough to think that if Mitt-Flop had won I'd be signing a petition to secede from the union...

No, I leave silly-a**ed juvenile behavior to the "angry white guys" that lost.
