In the Daily Show clip the many disgusting hypocrisies of these Republican gang-rape apologists (won't somebody please think of the corporations!) are pithily and devastatingly exposed, as one would expect. But I must say the clip's concluding call-back of the same filthy cast of characters rampaging against Acorn (which, whatever its imperfections, is actually hated by Republicans because it registers underrepresented minority communities to vote and works to raise minimum wage standards across the country) was especially revealing and revolting.
