Not only did I watch that segment and watch the Daily Show every night, but I'm almost finished with "On the Justice of Roosting Chickens." I will be writing a review of Churchill's excellent book.
Oh yes, it's very clear that Churchill is trying to piss people off. That's why he used the "little Eichmanns" analogy instead of the more mundane "good Germans." And he's pissing people off with the truth, the truth of America's long history of imperialism, genocide, war, capitalism and violating international laws. It's all spelled out in his book "On the Justice of Roosting Chickens." It so factual that the section I'm reading now--on all of the United Nations resolutions that the U.S. has blocked, vetoed and voted against--puts me to sleep.
Churchill is trying to piss off Americans in the slap-in-the-face way that is really needed right now. And he has succeeded.
