Jon Stewart said last night that he is unconcerned about Rep. Louie Gohmert’s (R-TX) conspiracy theory about “terror babies.” Stewart said: “This is America, Louie. They got terror babies? Well guess what we got, motherfucker? Hero babies!”

“Are we sure that this guy’s not from South Carolina?” Stewart asked.

He then showed a clip of Gohmert comparing President Obama to Hitler, which Stewart summed up:

So tea party supporter Louie Gohmert is saying that a political leader who goes after those not normally involved in politics because they are easily manipulated ‘useful idiots,’ a leader like that would be a modern day Hitler. Cue tea party leaders discussing why they admire tea partiers…

After a series of clips showing leaders such as Sarah Palin describing tea partiers as “people who have never been involved in politics before” and “extremely naive,” Stewart sang a little song: “I made Louie Hitler! I made Louie Hitler! Using Louie’s reasoning!”
