You're supposed to be a Liberal, & not attacking other Liberals standing up for something that bleeds into their means of expression, & work. I'd love to invite you, Mr. Stewart, to a modern dance show in DC, so you can experience a medium that isn't as weird and crazy as you think it is. -David 3/3

I felt it was unfortunate that the joke was aimed at an act of peaceful protest through artistic expression. It's easy to take shots at an art form that challenges, instead of spoon feeding its audience, & the women who led the protest are my friends & highly respected in the DC Dance community. 2/3

My video of the Kennedy Center protest was used (without my permission) on @thedailyshow.com. I'm ok with the joke, Mr. Stewart. But it wasn't just White women, it was Black, Asian and Latino women, and men too. I'm a latino male, I just happened to be holding the camera at the moment. 1/3
