Stewart: Who Do Republicans Want Americans to Take America Back From? (VIDEO)

Jon Stewart found himself very confused by the rhetoric coming from the right on 'The Daily Show' (Weeknights, 11PM ET on Comedy Central). Particularly, he couldn't understand why they're so upset about this Occupy Wall Street protest movement.He had clips of several Republican leaders denouncing the actions of these people and saying Americans shouldn't be standing up against fellow Americans.
And yet he had clips from just a couple of years ago of these same Republican leaders telling American leaders to stand up against the likes of teacher's unions, liberals, the media, and Planned Parenthood, among others.
Stewart was pretty certain that everyone they cited was American. In other words, do they believe it's okay to stand up and protest against Americans so long as it's in line with what they stand for, but not if it doesn't?
