Jon Stewart digs into the right's fear-mongering obsession: crime in big cities. Republicans want you to believe that "lawless" Democrats are to blame, but when it comes to Democrat-run city crime, it turns out the guns are coming from red states. And Protestant minister, social activist, and Yale Divinity School professor Rev. Dr. William J.
