    I love Jon Stewart.

    I pity the guy who dares to challenge him publicly on this kind of social debate.

    He can't get out of it unscathed.

    So, Jon Stewart found some guy nobody knows to lose a debate. Why didn't Jon debate Colion Noir? Bigotry, I assume.

    This is not a rhetorical duel, It's a matter of argument.

    If it had been anyone in front of Stewart, the result would have been the same.

    No, debating people who haven't prepared and have no debate experience is far easier than debating someone who knows the issues and is a good debater.

    LoL.

    You excuse imbecility with a lack of preparation.

    Showing up to a debate against Jon Stewart without knowing his subject is the equivalent of going to a gunfight with a knife.

    The guy was not ill-prepared, no gun nut can answer Stewart's arguments.

    Very funny.

    Instead of giving me an argument against Stewart, you claim that someone else who's less stupid would have done better.

    I doubt it.

    This is your third intervention on this thread and you still haven't said anything about Stewart's arguments.

    Maybe you didn't even watch the clip.

    Jon Stewart is a better debater than Alan Gottlieb.

    I have read enough of your posts to suggest you are not able to actually state what his best points are. Since you seem to want to lionize that clown, I think it's fair to ask you to give a summation on what YOU think are his best points

    Maybe, but I doubt he understands the issues as well. Someone like Peter Keisler would eviscerate Stewart=but then again, a guy who has his record in appellate arguments and was a star college debater is way way ahead of Stewart.

    Try watching the video because you just echoed one of the point John Oliver demolished

    When Cain killed Abel, God did not blame the rocks and confiscate all of the rocks, he blamed Cain.

    Jon Stewart is a very intelligent, charismatic, skilled wordsmith and speaker. That's why it doesn't matter if he's wrong on the issue. You put an unskilled person in front of him, he or she will lose.
    Understanding the issue is only half the battle. One has to communicate it as well.
    If Jon were arguing in front of the supreme court, Peter would do quite well. However, Jon Stewart argues on the popular stage - not the Supreme Court. And in a 10-minute clip like this one, Peter would do quite poorly.

    Stewart is wrong. He made some claims regarding data that is false. He seems to think there aren't background checks and there are so they don't do anything. And a federal registration is against the law via FOPA.

    I think there was either some clever editing or he took advantage of the OK guy's intellectual honesty.
