Jon Stewart is a humorist. He makes comments that are supposed to be ironically funny rather than literally true. You may or may not already get that, but people on this site ought to keep that in mind as they try to make sense out of what he says.
"If a man commits adultery with another man's wife—with the wife of his neighbor—both the adulterer and the adulteress must be put to death."
Lev 20:10
They want to claim the Old Testament as their resource for condemning those that don't want their version of a "Christian" government. Well, they need to use it consistently then.

No, because there is no such thing as a conservative mind. It's a myth. That, or the title of an incredibly boring book by Russell Kirk.
That's one way to look at it.

Ask Bwarney Fwanks about his body parts.
You know it's a liberal penis because it went into a woman....and also because it did not happen at a highway rest stop.
His mind and his penis have become one in the same, and very liberal.
His wife handled the matter beautifully.....kicked his @ss out and made him stand alone to confess before the press!
Adultery is found on both sides of the aisle.
Adultery is not a liberal position.
