Conservatives hate it when liberals play the “victim card,” Jon Stewart says, because it distracts from the real victims: conservatives.

In an epic montage of Fox News clips showing conservative pundits railing against liberal attacks on the right, Stewart last night admitted he had “no idea life for conservatives was so difficult in this country.”

“You know what? It’s woken me up to the reality of what some people face in this country, just for their political beliefs,” he added.

But then came a baffling statement by Sean Hannity, saying he doesn’t hear conservatives criticizing liberals with the same vitriol.

Wait a minute. “That is, if I may say, some of the most free-range, organically grown, disingenous, ideologically marinated, un-self-awareness I’ve ever seen in the wild,” Stewart said.
