https://wthrockmorton.com/2011/05/03/david-barton-on-the-daily-show-tomorrow/ A [retired] college psychology professor's observations about public policy, mental health, sexual identity, and religious issues Wed, 30 May 2018 18:17:43 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.8.3 https://wthrockmorton.com/2011/05/03/david-barton-on-the-daily-show-tomorrow/#comment-80890 Wed, 30 May 2018 18:17:43 +0000 http://wthrockmorton.com/?p=9147#comment-80890 I think Barton is seriously underestimating Stewart. He probably thinks Stewart (being a Jew and a comedian) isn’t going to understand enough about christianity or US history. And I bet Barton is going to be in for a surprise on both counts.
I’m also guessing this will be an interview that goes long and you’ll end up having to watch the whole thing on the web page.

And Stewart is typically gracious with his onscreen guests, even when he obviously disagrees with them.
So the worst case scenario for Barton is that he might end up getting a gentle public rebuke from someone who’s not on his own team (Stewart), which is much better than a stern rebuke from someone who also plays for Team J.C. (Throckmorton).
