Let's clarify some things!

Who are some of these intolerant people you speak of?

Anyone who doesn't agree with him. Duh.

Tolerance does not mean tolerating intolerance.

Actually, that's exactly what it means.

Daily Show criticism aside I'd like to hear how you think these interviews were edited in such a way to make these people look stupid. I'd also like to hear you explain that armed with just a camera, microphone and editing software one can make anyone seem any way they want.

And...GO!

Take 10 hours of video asking people questions and edit out all the people who answer your questions intelligently.

I'm sure that happened with this video. I'm just wondering how one would make the people they showed look stupid. They made themselves look stupid.

The key is to cut between the question you ask and the answer you're given. Modern one-on-one interviews always have two camera angles (one per person) so this doesn't look suspicious. It's even easier in mass interviews like these, where the questions are usually not shown on camera at all. Take the first person: how do you know she was asked what Secretary Clinton's accomplishments were? How do you know she wasn't asked if Secretary Clinton could become President?

That's why the only video that can't be corrupted is universal surveillance: no cuts. All you need to do to see the context is press rewind. Let yourself see it one more time. Play. Come on, DJ, play that surveillance tape. You know that it turns me on.

I doubt you do. You take 100 adults, filter out the 70% that are normal.. another 25% that don't answer in a manner that is idiotic.. and boom.. you have your video showing how dumb every American is.

Except, like, sometimes they showed the interviewer asking the question with no cut between the question and the person looking dumbfounded and confused. Other times the person in their answer referenced the question.

I suppose it's true in the other cases you could say they used selective editing but that seems kind of silly to lie when they have so much entertainment value from the ones where no editing was required.
