He doesn't treat them like they're stupid, or belittle them in any way.
So him interrupting Bush's Campaign Spokesman to throw out insults at Bush's policies is treating that guest with respect or not belittleing them? Too much lately, he's giving people who bash Bush room and even helps. Those who try to explain a viewpoint that supports Bush get interrupted with barbs to demean their viewpoint. I think Stewart's funny, but I hate the fact that the show's seemed to taken a bitter political turn.
